ASS-P's response to " amputation " post .

Post Reply New Topic

...I said that I experienced no violence whilst in the jug and that is true .
However , I did experience a couple of close moments/threats - Funnily enough , both in brief moments when we were out of our ward/block and in other parts of the jail temporarily , " upset " moments...Until , during my last 48 hrs , a threat withing the block...All of these were from my peers , BTW , fellow inmates , no threats from the guards/whatever you want to call them .
The system had us left alone in the block more or less all the time , maybe a guard would come in for one reason or another every...20?? 15?? minutes .

...For one comment I DO go to ERs , quite frequently (some might say too much , in fact)...It helps , but it's a Band-Aid , essentially .
For another point ( aside from the " Wherever you go , therey ou are " adage .) , while some places might be marginally cheaper - at my level , not " the price of a new house " or whatever Forbes Magazine or whoever uses as criteria in that sort of listing - It would cost me a great deal of money upfront to get to anywhere (And , I HAVE thought about certain areas , just not?? discussed it here .) , I have no real contacts anywhere , and what do I do once I get there ?
I've done just that , more or less , a time-ish or two in my life , when I was younger and I had better health...

...It appears , now , that some somewhat nasty posts from Richard Benson , and attacks upon him from others - are gone .
My last post , above , was a response to some of what he said .
I guess he had a right - I guess , I'm being " free-speech " - but I'm glad that I was defended !

...I finally got some early-nightish sleep , woke up in time - barely - to get my SSD$ and go to the one little grocery/" coveniencence "(Sp??) store near me open 'til 2...........I had found some food B4 that sleep , so I wasn't super-hungry by then .
More later , I am - at the library - REALLY sleepy-ish now , but even if I strain my feet , etc. to go to the park near me and nap , I gotta get some stuff done first...

...The generic glasses I keep buying I keep buying because they keep falling apart , whatever brand (And I tend to get more than 1 - when I was in SC , the CVS there tended to have twofer-priced sales on such glasses , I'd have one for " nice " situations like typing at the library and another one for " not clean " situations like reading outside from my " to be thrown away/left somewhere for someone else " reading materials .)...

...Really , the " good " , pocket ones , for this situation , had a lens fall out , as has happened already with one of his two mates ( This time I bought a cheaprer " 3 pair for $14.99 , no cases for them " set , not a Foster Grants/similar w/ a case . ) .
Before , in the slam , I'd been able , again , to take one pair inside with me , but w/out a case - " more expensive " Fosters' or whatnot - they lasted thru my jail term but started to fall apart one I got ut - At least they lasted there .

...One weird thing opinted out to me whilst I was in the jug , Chloe , (by some other of my fellow cons/jailhouse lawyers) is that plea bargaining can gat an even more favorable result if you wait a little longer , even up til' the brink of trial (I'll have to re-check this !) , the day of a trial starting they may offer yu a lowe plea still .
Okay frankly I am considering going back as I have darted around actually saying here tho I am not absolute at this time frankly the evidence of my toe's state - I was able to get the rather minimal medical care for that - relatively easy to work with and extremely unattractive/a gross out to other people - seems to say " I should " .
If I got a more than 30 days sentence , it appears my SSD money would be messed up though pre-trial detention doesn't count .

...Frankly , I'm sort of down to , either go back to SC to get arrested , by being on the main drag and violating my prob...Althiugh , with my sense of the absurd , maybe it wouldn't work . Still , since I'ev been " officially " arrested , and (If I mentioned this??) had the " mean " judge at least throw around possible sentence amounts of " $1000 and a six-month sentence " (tho' a 6-monther would become a 3-monther due to this situation in California where their ails are so overcrowded that ALL! , I believe , official sentences get cut in half from the beginning and the clock of your time starts being calculated from THERE , you have to mess up greatly to get the original 1/2 put back in any way) even that , even if possible , would be " only " three mnths...Um , more than 3 times what I did ! !! !!
It seems like either that , or trying a free week at a pretty heavily Christianity-oriented homeless shelter here in SJ where you have to go to chapel every night (CityTeam - I mean , I went to another church myself last Sunday , having intended to and meaning to go more , there or elsewhere) are my main " long/-er term alternatives " at present - And , I'd hope the shelter would be freaked up enough about my foot that I mightg et " real " help...

Give the shelter a try maybe... perhaps it won't be that bad. It sounds as if SC isn't a place they even want you back in at any rate: they would probably prefer not to see you back in SC.

I really feel for you in your situation and hope you'll continue to keep us posted. (from the library, that is - not Fedex!) so you can save something...

You deserve a break. I would hate to have nowhere to go. By the way I spent about 2 years in a Christian-oriented shelter during a rough patch in my life about 6 or 7 years ago, so I know the type of setup they have... Once established as a resident one was expected to attend all devotions but they didn't really make much effort to find suitable work for the inmates... there were a number of shorter and longer term residents, some of whom were eventually kicked out for various misdemeanours...

It was an interesting experience at any rate...

...A " mission stiff " , eh ?????????

...I started to type a longer response but it got lost , and I am dis-inclined to try again now...But...GETTING REST & TREATMENT FOR MY TOE has to be , maybe , Number One , at leat in the long runOr am I to go into any ER , seek out the nearest doctor , and , baring my toe , saying " Okay , Big Daddy...Let it rip ! !! !! !! !! " on the theory that " If you give Big Daddy what Big Daddy wants , Big Daddy will LIKE you ! !! !! !! !! " which I am all to prone to think , so to speak... I mean , there's a story I could go into ...

...I made another post that , aonce again , I pushed " new Topic " rather than " Reply " on , and I suppose it's up now...Hopefully , Ye Mod will bring it in , out of the cold ?????

A link would have been helpful.

...Hello .
It is more than a week now , I went back to Santa Cruz , and landed back in jail AGAIN - TWICE , the 2nd time within HOURS after my release , when , left not only homeless but without any MONEY , or my incredibly nessecary " life cards " - my California state ID card , my United States Social Security card , my MediCal (medical care) cards , and my MONRY-accessing ATM card , without which I cannot access my SSD cash - I went to the San Jose Police Department , who had arrested me , to pick up the items that were rightfully mine , as above , plus my duffle bag with bedding , magazines , etc. - And had the SCPD arrested me and take me back to County Jail (which is run by the San Jose SHERIFF'S department , I believe county-level whereas the SCPD is SC City/Town-level . ) , for " trespassing " , only to be cut loose again today ! !! !! !! !!
I received a little trteatment for my toe while there , incidentally , but that is over now...
