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 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...

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 ...
