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...

Analytical Thinking in College Football
Frederick Mason [ID] USP Tucson PO Box 24550 Tucson, AZ 85734
I have found that when it comes to writing, you have to have an analytical mind if you are going to be unbiased in what you are sharing. I have found that it is wise to take the extra effort to see both sides of the coin when it comes to writing on prison issues. This is important when it comes to writing about prison issues, because oftentimes, people get the idea that when inmates talk ...

Anger Management Frederick Mason USP Tucson #55487-056 PO Box 24550 Tucson, AZ 85734 Ira furor brevis est- Anger is brief madness. (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. Proverbs 14:17 "A quick-tempered man acts foolishly..." Proverbs 14:29 "He who is slow to wrath has great understanding, but he who is impuls...

On March 4th, 2017, staff member Ms. Farinsky and SIS Officer Kelly put me in the SHU(Special Housing Unit) for false charges, to prevent me from coming back to the library and typing about prison issues (First Amendment rights).

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...

ix... Chronicles in May May 4th, 2013: About 9:15pm as I listen to Star 1330 and Disco music. From 6pm to midnight, they play genuine Disco! Awesome. 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...

Chronicles of April Frederick Mason #55487—O56 UPS Tucson PO BOX 24550 Tucson, AZ 85734 I've shared a lot of excerpts of my journal, some of small situations, some of greater. Life in prison is about an ebb and flow of situations small and great. Some days are pretty good, you end the day thinking "Thank God for getting me through", and some days are tough, where you end the day thinking "what else can go wrong!" Today's entry is more in the middle, written on Ap...

Chronicles of April (Who Am I Fighting for Here) Sometimes you have to stand your ground on what you really believe in. Everybody knows that, but the tricky part is that many times, the beliefs you have, and think many others will believe in, is not what many will actually stand up for, even if it's right to do. Sometimes there are causes that affect everyone, as some here in prison. The problem is that so many guys here talk about doing stuff, but when it comes to action, they run under...

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.
