would want to do that. Because at that time they were not sure what kind of a scandal it would cause
they separated us they sent us to different prisons. And they put what is called a flag on my record,
saying that we couldn’t ever be in the same prison together. Nine months ago, when I was fighting to
gain my freedom, lawsuits and doing some different stuff myself, because I didn’t have an attorney.
They got upset at me, they wanted to punish me by sending me to another prison. O.K. They couldn’t
do it because this man was at that prison. And they let me know they couldn’t do it, that our records
were flagged. Now this man was doing a life sentence without parole for murder. Since being in prison
he has stabbed four people. Three of them in the last couple years since I’ve known him. He
has sworn to kill me. And now he is here. A few weeks ago, he stabbed an inmate an second inmate at
another institution,
and instead of charging him with it, and putting him into solitary, like they had
done before, they dropped the charges, and sent him to this prison. When I heard that he was here, he
was being held up in the lock up in solitary waiting for bed space in my unit. He will be just a couple
of cells from me.
I
went to the authorities here and I complained. Surprisingly
guess what brothers and sisters? the flags
on our records had disappeared. And there was no record of them ever being there. In fact, they went
so far as to say there is no record in our records of us being in the same prison together. And yet we’d
been in two prisons together and in the same building a few cells apart. And its right there. That much
is in the records. O.K. Complaints were filed and so on and so forth. And I looked right at the Captain
here, Capt. Byrd over security and told him, ,,You did this. You got the man who will kill me. There
is no big secret about this. This doesn’t happen by accident.’ Now at that time what was supposed to
be done was that they should have shipped me. When I complained they should have shipped me.
They claimed they couldn’t send him anywhere else, that he’s been to all these prisons and done all
these things, that this was the last place they could have him. Well, they should have sent me away.
Now they are claiming that none of the other prisons want to take me. Isn’t it amazing that they can’t
ship me when this man is scheduled to move into my unit into my prison dorm here Fri. This is
Monday. They’re doing this to try to kill me. What will happen? I’m in the Lord’s hands... [Johnnie
