New Men Shock
This evening two new self surrender white collar men came into Camp Fed. Both were housed very near to my bunk and I had the opportunity to be the welcoming party. Myself and a few other among us did what was done for us when we first arrived, we tried to ease the...
Presidential Campaign Strategist ?
Presidential Campaign Strategist ? Well, I have some idle time and an interest in politics. I have educational credentials that are equal to or exceed most campaign experts. Why can't I be a campaign adviser? Being in prison could be a drawback? Oh well, most...
Being Gay in Federal Prison Camp
When I knew I would be heading to a federal prison camp, I began researching the internet on the closest Federal Prison Camps to Palm Springs (Lompoc and Taft). Unfortunately, TripAdvisor and Yelp do not have ratings for prison camps. Probably no way to monetize that....
Fashion and Justice
