Changes


Hello my friends. I hope that you’re all doing great. I’m doing just fine. Well, things have changed a lot in this place, for they have transferred almost everyone. They sent inmates from here to Miami, and the ones from Miami they brought here. It seems that I’m the one who was transferred, since I barely know anyone. Only the ones who stayed behind, who are not too many. What happened was that they sent away everyone who was in Low Security, and they left the ones in Medium Security. They converted this prison into Medium Security only. I imagine that next year they’ll lower mine to Low, and then they’ll transfer me. Although I’d prefer that they wouldn’t and left me here, for this prison is one of the best in the Federal System. The ones who were transferred to Miami have written to me and say that they don’t like it over there.

During this time that I stopped writing, other things happened. One of them was that I had a little problem with one of the guards, although it wasn’t anything serious. What happened was that one Saturday, after the morning count, I went to the guard’s station to turn on the TV’s, for it seems that he forgot to turn them on. The thing is that when I was switching them on, he grabbed me by my wrist, and I got loose from his grip violently, and I started to talk to him somewhat harshly because a guard cannot touch an inmate or vice-versa. I was a bit angry, but I calmed down quickly. Everyone stopped what they were doing to find out what was happening. The guard apologized to me in front of everyone, but I ignored him. I know that it wasn’t right for me to talk to him that way, but he was at fault as well. Everything stayed like that, without any major inconveniences.

Well, see you later.

Pedro
