“Suppressive Politics & Love”

Once again it’s Valentine’s Day, and loneliness is my only companion for the whole day. Being a prisoner at San Quentin doesn’t help; for the prison system promotes and supports a counter-culture atmosphere that takes a stand against any kind of growth and development towards human affection between a man and woman!

The “R” in CDCR stands for rehabilitation; then isn’t the desire to establish a heartwarming connection with another lonely soul on Valentine’s Day rehabilitative?

The prison administration doesn’t just make me cover my nose and mouth [with a mask] during this time, but my show of affection for the opposite sex as well! 5’8”, bald, dark and handsome for the mature woman who loves sweets!

Every piece comes from someone serving a sentence. Every piece reminds you they are so much more than that.
