What is Justice? The Webster's dictionary say 1. moral rightness; equity. 2. Fairness. 3. The administration and procedure of law. 4. A judge. It is sad that this word (Justice) only applies for court rooms, victims and the department of corrections, but never for the offender who is sent to prison. We offenders are misled by the system of another chance at life or bettering ourselves. They talk about all these good programs they have to offer and how keeping your head on a swivel will help but it’s all lies. Being here at Greensville, a level three compound and the biggest compound in the state of Virginia you are always short staffed and you have nobody there really cares to help the offenders. They apply these levels and security points to your file for what? Because at the end of the day you are thrown into the abyss of the prison system and abandon. We are savagely oppressed by those in power and due to the system here at Greensville, you file a complaint against a staff member. They either sign off on it or one of their buddies do and you get the complaint form back with a bs answer that we (offenders) know is straight trash. This letter is not to forget that me or my peers have made mistakes that have landed us either back again or their first time in prison. It’s to let people and the world know that the prison system here in Virginia does not care about correcting those mistakes. They only care about profits and stealing funds and continuing to create the worst in those they warehouse by mentally and emotionally abusing them down to poor healthcare and feeding us worst than stray animals.
