"Face of Stone"
I want to reach out to you,
but will I find you there?
I need someone to comfort me,
and let me know they care.
So many times I've looked around
to find myself alone.
So I've learned to keep it all inside
and wear a face of stone.
But if you look behind my walls,
I'm sure that you will find
A man with a heart of gold,
that's loving, sweet, and kind.
I'm still afraid to reach out,
for fear I'd find myself still alone.
So for now I'll keep it all inside,
and wear a face of stone.

Dear PARC,
I'm writing get some things straight.
Who's the comedian who sent the "standard minimum rules for treatment of Prisoners" ? Had to be a comedian because thats a joke.
1.Accommodations?
Seen 3 in a 6 by 9?
2. Medical?
You're fucked. Chronic Hep C patients get dogged.
They can only give you 2 blister packs of Ibuprofin 800 twice a year for "acute" injuries.
My partner had a compound fracture, was sent back because he wasn't dressed properly.
3. Discipline?
Lets not go there.
In short, I was tortured for 90 days, put in cells in winter, in a freezing cell, naked with nothing but a blanket. I was dehydrated, given one bologna sandwich a day. My room was never cleaned. There was my own feces, blood and urine there for days.I was beaten badly, lost 33 lbs, denied medical help, and made to defecate in a foot basin 46 times in two days under a camera.
I just wanted you to know that I didn't even scratch the surface on the way things happen here.
