66 Days Later Frederick Mason USP Tucson #55487-056 PO Box 24550 Tucson, AZ 85734 The date is August 10th, 2016, 66 days after the incident on Memorial Day Weekend, Sunday, June 5th. I've chronicled various times after the incident in which I accused Officer D. Huffstuttler of discriminating against black inmates. I voiced my concern and contempt of the situation that very night, to see if the prison would fairly and honestly address this issue. And it is of great importance that they do...

(Pronounced EE-rah FOO-rawr BREH-wis est) It is said that Horace uses these words in his Epistles to say that anger is a momentary departure from reality, and he cautions us not to let our passions control us.

Because God Cares By: Frederick Mason #S5487—O56 USP Tucson, PO Box 24550 Tucson, AZ 85734 Sometimes God has to find people to show His love for others. We'd like to think that a bright light from Heaven, with an angel, would float down from above, and personally help those in need. W Uh... nope. Here's a news flash— it comes through us. In order to show God's love, there must be people to care about people. So many of us like to say we love God or Christ, yet when God puts a p...

Candles In Darkness Frederick Mason USP Tucson #55487-056 PO Box 2455 0 Tucson AZ 85734 Matthew 5:14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden." Ecclesiastes 11:7 "Truly the light is sweet, and it is pleasant for the eyes to behold the sun." There is no question that there are many "dark" places in the world, but one of the "darkest" is the prisons. As an inmate, I know firsthand how "dark" it can be. And w...

Chronicles in December Frederick Mason USP Tucson #55487-056 PO Box 24550 Tucson, AZ 85734 Let's jump right into this; I am sharing a journal entry from December 20th, 2013. I had been at USP Tucson for just over a year, and was learning my way around. As I write this, (May of 2016), much has changed: people in my journals are no longer here, I have learned more about myself and others around me, and my faith in God was growing...maybe not in leaps and bounds, but certainly with testimon...

There's nothing on the 7 televisions; why on earth do INMATES watch "Lockup" on MSNBC? These guys whine and cry like babies if there's a single cartoon on, as if it's too childish, but then turn around and watch "real life crime" or "drug dealers on TV" and stuff like that. So I'm trying to stall...

Life in prison is about an ebb and flow of situations small and great.

Chronicles of December "It's the most, wonderful time, of the year..." We all remember that Christmas song, done by nearly every person who ever held a mic, and every time I hear it, it brings back wonderful memories. Christmas was the best time of year to me, when I was home, kinda the grand finale of the season. I could write tons of pages of the fun times I had when I was home. But here, in prison, it's far different. It's very stressful, and you're trying to ...

If you are new to my essays, then you'll probably want to check on many of my past journals made since I came to USP Tucson in December of 2012. The purpose of my essays is several fold. One, to try to crete an opening, a window so that people on the outside can see what some inmates are going through. Ioam trying to pull down the strongholds of stigma, of the idea that every inmate is some monster that deserves...
