How I lived, what I ate And what I wore is not who I am. My skin is my sin, Which was dealt to me Like a shantytown hustler’s sleight-of-hand win. I ask for my freedom But I’m told no such thing exists. I’m told I’m not human, I’m not worthy and I am not a man. If I’m am not a man and you are, Why do I slave and thrive above your soil? Isn’t a man one who…
By Jason Renard Walker “When you look at the policies and goals of the Security Management Unit, it blows my mind that there was [even] one homicide” – Jack Donson, corrections consultant and former FBOP official on violence at USP Thompson. Edgar Garcia and Mark Snarr couldn’t have scripted the murder of Gabriel Rhone any better.

By Jason Renard Walker #1532092 Wayne Scott Unit 4 Jester Road Richmond, TX 77406 The thought of being locked inside a small two-man cell to defend yourself against a homemade knife-wielding maniac should be a scary one. Yet one’s fear, or lack thereof, can actually determine who walks out alive, or is the least butchered. Such occurrences become so common that prisoners normally fear missing a commissary spend more than they fear encounters with a death match. During my more-than-14-year…
“Approximately 28% of the [FBI’s domestic covert action] efforts were designed to weaken groups by setting members against each other or to separate groups which might otherwise be allies and convert them into mutual enemies. The techniques used included… encouraging hostility up to and including gang warfare between rival groups…” According to penologists and pro-prison propagandists, the most common themes in U.S. prisons are gang violence and race wars.

In the clinical sense, these individuals are labeled as sadists or sadomasochistic. The only symptom that is obvious is the aftermath of their skewed endeavors to “get off.” And even then, through terrible oversight and luck, they have a tendency…
By Jason Renard Walker Introduction The purpose of this report is to inform prisoners living in Polunsky Unit’s death row and ad-seg cell blocks on ways to protect themselves and their property against Polunsky’s deadly cell extraction teams and silent partners, that use their job titles to assist in the cover ups. I’ve also listed the known actors and usual suspects that, I learned, make up a small piece of the administration’s murder squad hierarchy. This is being done in…
By Jason Renard Walker The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) has a very secretive state-wide deadly use of force policy. This unwritten policy’s designs give guards the ability to beat and kill prisoners, while facing minimum, if any, punishment themselves. The Clements Unit in Amarillo, TX; Robertson Unit in Abilene, TX; Ferguson Unit in Midway, TX; Eastham Unit in Lovelady, TX; Telford Unit in New Boston, TX; Allred Unit in Iowa Park, TX; Ellis Unit in Huntsville, TX and Polunsky…
