Being and Doing
February 10, 2016 Since arriving at Bastrop Federal Satellite Camp on August 26, 2015, I've read over 20 books. I promised to report on some, so here's another Book Report. While this report would earn only a C in most colleges, as I'm just quoting from the book,...
*Trans* formation
February 10, 2016 Don't worry! I am not on my way to becoming the Caitlyn Jenner of Taft prison camp! The reason I have selected this topic is that I am frequently asked by friends which books I am reading and which I would recommend. Having the time to read whatever...
Winding Down
As I come to the end of my term here I have found that the days are getting longer and longer, I know I've written about this phenomenon before but now it is really kicking in. I think being asked all the time by a bunch of my fellow inmates how many days do I have...
Guilty or Stupid

TRUMP IS BRILLIANT
TRUMP IS BRILLIANT 2/5/16 Love him or hate him, and chances are it’s one or the other, you have to admire Donald Trump’s absolute control of the media. Trump has spent substantially less than any other candidate during his campaign for the Presidency, while enjoying...
Routines
Today and tomorrow are my days off and on these two days I have to find various other activities to take up my time instead of work. Usually when the weather is cooperative this isn't too much of a challenge, I just spend more time outside walking or schmoozing with...
Numbers
I have always been fascinated by numbers, how they really do tell a complete story about everything and how most things can be reduced to numbers. Numbers can be massaged and redone and made to do and say so many different things to so many different people, they can...
2 Pt Reduction
Late yesterday a very nice event took place here at Camp Fed, I should really say an extraordinary event happened, one of the inmates was given an immediate release after his 2 Point Reduction went thru. Now I don't know the exact legal terms of this deal, but it was...
