Prisoner found half-dead in bloodbath: Back to TDCJ’s houses of horror and staged gladiator fights

Prisoner found half-dead in bloodbath: Back to TDCJ’s houses of horror and staged gladiator fights

As prison guards had the door of D-Pod Cell 203 opened, the body of a prisoner, who appeared to be Hispanic or white, fell over by the entrance; a large pool of blood ran out of the door, dripping down to the first tier. It was like a scene directly out of a scary movie. Lying in his own blood bath while his cellmate slept, this prisoner, bound to the confines of isolation, tried to remove himself from this reality…

Grey Suit Protection: Ellis Unit guards Admit Assaulting Prisoners, But Aren’t Held Accountable

Grey Suit Protection: Ellis Unit guards Admit Assaulting Prisoners, But Aren’t Held Accountable

On 1-6-19 at 12:27 AM officer Barnett (white female) and another Latina female and white officer sprayed a heavy dose of chemical gas in the vents and on the cell block to choke us out. They turned the industrial fan on, kept all the windows closed and laughed as it circulated, choking everyone. They all wore gas masks then closed my solid security door connected to my cell door so that I was trapped in the gas and as it…

It is in the spirit of our ancestors I move forward and keep fighting

It is in the spirit of our ancestors I move forward and keep fighting

As white fists swung at me and dirty cheap boots kicked me, Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcom X, Fred Hampton, Nat Turner, Gabriel Prosser and many other influential Black figures flashed across my mind. It was like a revelation or a spiritual awakening advising me that this racially motivated attack by white cowards, as Black cowards shielded witnesses from seeing the volley of punches thrown, is how agents of repression respond to resistance. Our appetite to put our minds, bodies…

Telford Unit Exposed: Investigation Reveals Prison Employees Falsified Records

Telford Unit Exposed: Investigation Reveals Prison Employees Falsified Records

Former Telford Unit employee Sheila Forte was recently fired for her role in falsifying records, connected to a false disciplinary case I received on Sept 13 2018. Forte held the job title Counsel Substitute III, which is supposed to act as a prisoner’s advocate during disciplinary hearings. But evidence reveals that Forte deliberately conspired with other officials by failing to notify me (and possibly others) that we had pending major disciplinary cases. Then falsified records by claiming that I refused to…

Racist guard files trumped-up felony assault charge, then bribes coworker to bear false witness

Racist guard files trumped-up felony assault charge, then bribes coworker to bear false witness

Within the past year, prison guards are turning up the way they retaliate for my published exposés and activism. From false charges to legal property theft and now physically unprovoked beatings. Most recently, on Nov. 23, 2018, around 3:10 a.m., I was snatched out of the chow hall by known racist officer Brandon K. Pollock, who attempted to wrestle me to the ground so he and officer Zachary H. Williford, another known racist, could beat me to a bloody pulp….

Jason Walker attacked by prison clansmen for reporting their brutality

Jason Walker attacked by prison clansmen for reporting their brutality

I’m sad to report that I was attacked and beaten by clansman as Black guards watched. I sent out a report on this but left out info I felt would cause the message to be banned, delayed or thrown away. This attack was in response to my November Bay View piece that circulated around the prison like wildfire. Until I don’t have hands to write and eyes to see and a tongue to speak, I will continue to expose such…

The anatomy of abusive prison guards: Telford Unit’s overt assault and punishment program

The anatomy of abusive prison guards: Telford Unit’s overt assault and punishment program

Introduction The incidents described in this piece give context to the historical and contemporary art of abuse, inflicted on prisoners from the torturous isolation chambers of the Eastern State Penitentiary during the 1820s to the 1971 Attica rebellion and beyond. The documentation of the past and present grieved events of prison-controlled torture blaze a paper trail that shows abuse by guards is a lot deeper than being inadvertent or isolated events. It is actually part of a poorly-designed program designed…

Prison-assisted drug overdoses: Deadly K2 epidemic is spreading in Texas and many other state and federal prisons

Prison-assisted drug overdoses: Deadly K2 epidemic is spreading in Texas and many other state and federal prisons

The number of K2-related deaths in Texas prisons is mounting, year after year. Due to this drug being undetectable by prison drug-testing kits, it has become a favorite drug of choice for prisoners and prison officials who profit handsomely from smuggling it in. This has caused other common prison drugs, like cocaine, marijuana and meth, to be discarded by prisoners who now have the ability to get high without worrying about failing drug tests. Prison staff have also adjusted to…

Censorship, Staff Negligence, and Extreme Heat at the Telford Unit, Texas

Censorship, Staff Negligence, and Extreme Heat at the Telford Unit, Texas

Since 2011, at least twelve Texas prisoners have died from heat stroke, which was a result of the sweltering temperatures inside buildings, dorms, day rooms and the cells where prisoners live. Hundreds more have suffered heat-related illnesses, many of whom were among the elderly and disabled inmates housed at the Wallace Pack Unit. This does not include prisoners who didn’t report their injuries or those who attempted to treat themselves. The Pack Unit is a medical and geriatric prison where…

The wheels of injustice: He spent 24 years in prison for something he didn’t do – here is the evidence to prove it

The wheels of injustice: He spent 24 years in prison for something he didn’t do – here is the evidence to prove it

Absolute power corrupts absolutely, or however the saying goes, which is how the District Attorney’s Office in Dallas County, Dallas, Texas has been operating from the early 1990s up to today. It’s highly possible that these same corrupt tactics have been used way before what I’m about to describe, but I choose to focus on the documented events I was able to witness and research. This includes an outright wrongful conviction campaign by D.A. Jason January, who tried to coax…
