Another line of mine headlined " Stolen , hospial , healing , needing help . " speaks about the in-between time before where I where I am now , which is at a treatment/hospital-kind of place in San Francisco , CA , where I am getting foot treatment now and am using a laptop there now as I write now . My jail times have been the earlier ones , in 2013 , and the one that happened starting in June 2015 , my being in jail for what was , officially , a 30-day sentence but was shortened twice (Probably due to both my health and California jails being gretly overcroded ., at least for two .) , with me in about June 10-20 .
However , the first time I was there , for 23 days or so , I was kept in a solitary cell in one night , then movd to the General Population barracks/dorm/no privacy wing , I believe the " least dangerous/lowest offenses " wing of varios wings for the rest of my time . This time it was 10-11 days , but I was in this Medical wing the whole time , in a solitary cell 23 hours a day , with one hour a day in the dayroom/yard - with no official contact with any of the other inmates . There was absolutely no recoded music or access to news (I found out about the horrible shootings in Charleston , South Carolina only in second-day newspaper headlines when I saw them after getting out of jail ~ You know what I'm referring to now ,Peter , yes ?) , a TV that was on but I didn't pay attention to it ~ No sound or very low volume IIRC and I was not going to spend my one hour ifor some sun/walking around & exercise/trying to call people collect on the pay phone trying to follow TV . I did have books from the book cover of given-away old books .
Early on after asking about being transfered elsewhere a couple times I prayed to God to get enough books to distract myself and basic food & safety and if I did , I would not request of the authorities to be transfered and since I did get books etc. I didn't ask for an internal transfer again (Remembering Esxxalities' " only a fool breaks promises to God " ~ Now I'm talking myself into " really " beoming Christian ? ) ~ my time was officially thirty days but California's jails are so overcrowded that all sentences get automatically cut down after they are made , and then , after one cut-down that changed my official get-out time (I was officially " sentenced " this time in 2015 which I don't think was said in court during the time I am recalling in 2013) from early July to latish June it got further dhortened and I got out as I said Sat. morn.n the 20th .
