Addendum to #32392 Commutation Application: Sylvia Boykin In my own Words, these are the detailed facts of my crime and how I was involved: On May 15, 1992 at around 1:30pm in Philadelphia, PA, I drove Aaron Jones and Antwan Blagman to the residence of Mrs. Pope for the purpose of collecting money owed for illegal drugs. We planned to peacefully collect the money. While inside the residence of Mrs. Pope, I asked her for the money and she told me she didn’t have it. I went back to the car to t...

By: Jessica Chambers Are You Properly Trained? 12-23-19 At FM WCC NDOC Las Vegas, NV on 11-21-19 at approximately 6:35AM I was walking down the stairs in Unit E after just using the restroom, as c/o Logan entered Unit E, stood at the door and yelled my name "Chambers", and said to get properly dressed and grab my cup. I was escorted to the gym to give a U/A "urine analysis" and drank a 8oz cup of water. C/O Palasios was the officer to witness me giving a urine sample and a...

First off, let me say, I'm a litigator, as in I file grievances and lawsuits, because of this I have acquired a good amount of legal work. So one day I get transferred to this unit in Malvern. When I get here I'm told I can't keep all my legal work and I try to explain that I had active cases but he, the Lt., didn't ca...

The screams of ignorance and suffering cannot drown out the noise in my head. The burns, bruises, and cuts do not cover the pain. The ringing of keys, a clink and bang; new sounds in the ocean of noise. Chow’s here, preceded by the nauseating smell of rotten food adding to the constant wet smell of mildew. On the e...

Constitutional Right By Jessica Chambers 1-24-20 FMWCC NDOC Las Vegas, NV is in violation of my constitutional right to be free of cruel and unusual punishment by allowing me to sit in a dark cell for 14 hours a day for several days now. The facility has electricity so their is no excuse as to why my lite in my cell is off. Having no light is hazardous! I'm on top bed so I have to climb up and down a ladder to get off my bed. The way that this facility is ran is outrageous and rediculous...

FMWCC might as well have a sign posted outside the facility that says, Welcome Covid-19 and thank you for stopping by". The facility will post "memo's" about everything else except for the truth. It's like this facility is built up off of lies and c/o's, staff and warden and Assistant Wardens, including anyo...

Prison is peppered with waiting, twenty plus years of maximum security captivity has habituated me to this reality. But this is different, this wait is for a pending HIV test. A critical screening, precipitated by a sexual assault. A tacit insult heaped atop an acute injury, regardless of endgame result. The consequences of a positive reading weigh heavily upon me.

Mentally Unstable 2-10-20 I don't think that it is fair for a regular inmate to be housed with a inmate that is mentally unstable. Clearly C/Os and Psych knows, but yet placeing these kind of people in general population is what FMWCC Las Vegas, NV NDOC continues to do. This is a huge safety hazard. These type of people are subject to flip out at any given moment and harm themselves or others. I currently have a cellmate that is very mentally unstable and does not take her medication pro...

I ran to the TV; escaped into the land of make believe. I learned to read and ran to books; a more transportable land of fantasy. When the books and movies were not enough I ran into the deepest, darkest hole I could find. Inside of closets, cabinets, basements, attics, under the stairs, inside the walls - even drain pipes where the ...

The whole system is a form of "re-entry". But the problem in this prison case is, the men ...
