However, a prison sentence subjecting me to cruel and unusual punishment and unequal treatment violates both federal and state constitutions and Florida state law. At the very moment I stepped off the large bus (blue bird) at the reception and medical center of Lake Butler Correction...

As a prisoner serving a sentence of life without the possibility of parole, I know about depression from first-hand experience and observation. Fortunately, I've learned to utilize a n...

I thought to myself it must have been something I did or said but it was probably for nothing at all. Probably the fear factor - that those officers strong armed me, choked me and beat my body like their gun & badge wasnt threatening enough. Did they just want to intimidate me?

If that was my punishment who decided the pu...
