Hello, my name is "". I cannot write to you a letter because the mail policy at this detention center. Some of our mail is being tampered with. I have a legal issue that needs to be addressed. I and other inmates have been victims of racism and abuse by guards, verbal/physical and have had medical neglect issues.
I have a current Civil Action that I have filed in the US District Court in Atlanta, GA. The mail policy issue is addressed in the action. I am not worreid about the staff knowing what I'm sending. I just want it to be sent. Please respond. There is not enough room on this postcard to explain. I have a 21 page report w/ dates/times/names and violations.
Thank You!
Face of Stone Poem

"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.
