My Cup Runneth Over - Means It has Become A Standing Room Only Situation

A letter from the hole (the names have been changed to protect the writer):

 Mother,

I have relayed a message to you through Azoulay, for what reason I do not know.  I’m fine although there are some exigencies.  First, I need you to call up here ask for either Major John Doe and firmly not aggressively ask that they review the camera footage in housing unit 2B that’s building two on the Hallelujah Side.  On the date of 1-16-2014 at around 8:20 a.m. to around 8:40 a.m. they had me detained and sent to the hole on that above date.  There is a Sergeant Asmodeus here who is the one that is lying flat out on me trying to cover up for his self.  I just got stamps today to write.  You can file a law suit on D.O.C. for what transpired! 

In the morning 7:20 a.m., I went to work outside the gate when me and my co-workers got there we were sent back to our buildings.  That’s when around 8:10 a.m. Asmodeus (a fat white red neck) walked in to make rounds after he finished I tried calling his name he didn’t respond so I turned to walk away when another officer, Officer Agde called Asmodeus & told him I was calling him intently he looked at me and his disposition changed.  I asked him “Did they call for out…” before I could finish the question I notice he’s just giving me this threatening look.  So I said ‘I don’t even play like that.”  I turned and walked off so he follows me.  Ma I swear before anything he walked up on me so close that the brim of his hat hit me above my eye.  I saw red so I mustered up the calmest voice I could and told him “get your a** out my space.”  He doesn’t listen he just starts to berate me.  I was almost at my breaking point so I thought to myself getaway I came this far not to do nothing stupid all I could hear was your voice in my head saying “Son it don’t worth it.”  So I took two steps back seen a chair to my right (no I didn’t hit him across his face with it so bad as I wanted too).  I sat down!  He was still carrying on.  That’s when I won the fight against Satan.  I said to myself this man is a damn demon or retarded he just don’t know I’ll beat his ear’s off of him!  You would’ve been so proud of me.  But Momma when that man hit me with his hat I wanted to go to town on him old-fashioned!  Oh and through the whole thing he kept calling me “brother” like he wanted to substitute it for the N-word!  But here is the best part he leaves so I go to my bed area.  I hear the door open and I get a gut feeling he’s coming back so I sit down.  Something was just guiding my steps through this whole ordeal!  So I see him he’s looking for me I’m now in the back.  He approaches me again I say to myself if he lay a hand on Naysah only son I’m a make him famous today. 

He asks for my I.D. so I hand it to him.  He writes something in his pad.  So he leaves and I think something is not right I felt then he was up to something so I went to the booth and asked for an informal complaint.  So apparently he (Asmodeus) went to the counselors office, “Eve”.  She comes inside and was inquiring about the situation.  I was still writing my complaint she said I’m trying to save you.  I think this old lady is always flirting with me but she is a snake.  So I just smile and say ‘I’m fine thanks no problem.”  So after about ten minutes or so I see Asmodeus coming back inside again.  I felt something was going down but by this time I was sitting in group so he was telling me come to him by crooking his finger.  I’m not his dog so I didn’t move until he said it verbally.  At this time he searches me and then asks the officer, Officer Agde for his cuffs.  So there was no way I was going to let myself be left vulnerable to this man in handcuffs.  So I tell him “I’ll cooperate and go to segregation but you’re not going to put the cuffs on me.”  And I turn to Agde a young fat black guy and he cuffs me.  This Sergeant Asmodeus was trying to rough house me all the way to medical when we get to medical they take my weight I was 235 pounds, my blood pressure was so high the Doctor said “Oh My God”.  The whole time I’m in there this other officer was shocked to see me he said “what you do man?”  I told him the truth “Nothing!”  So when I get back to segregation they bring me an I.C.A. form informing me what I’m back here for.  It reads quote.  “Verbal threats directed toward security staff.”  But later I get charged for “Approaching/gathering around staff in intimidating/threatening manner.”  I seen the Asst. Warden Avesta.  She said “This does not sound right.”  Apparently Asmodeus has pulled a similar stunt before.  Now over this two week span, I have had a lot of officers, lieutenants, come to visit me no “captains” all want to be character witnesses.  My hearing is on the 29^th this month Wednesday.  I was informed there was not going to be anyone looking for footage unless someone calls up here or I lose my case and appeal to Ruler.  I’ll probably beat the case without it.  I first don’t want to leave nothing to chance.  Other than this minor setback I’m alright.  Excited about coming home.  I’ve been reading the commercial driver’s license book maybe for something to do part time.  What do you think?  I’ve been polishing up on my French oui.

C’est ein affaire a pus finir.  It’s a thing that has no end.  If you can tell Wren I miss her.  I was going through my old mail and found a picture of Sweetie, Athena, Daniel, and (I can’t spell her daughter’s name) and Princess’s daughter (I don’t even know her name) on Halloween.  I know this is a lot of reading.  I guess I’m like you once I start to write I can’t stop.  Like your blogs.  Well signing off.

Yours Truly & Forever

w/ Love 

, son

 Psalm 23:5  Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Lord I come to you on bended knee asking for your grace and mercy to take hold of this situation and escalate it to a level where it will bring some peace and comfort to my son to calm his heart.  I asking today that you remove the despair from his thoughts.  Keep him lifted up in knowing I am praying for him.  Touch him and tell him to continually pray for his own peace.  I want to be powerful but I am powerless my strength is in you Dear God.  

I am praying today that you remove the sadness from my eyes.  It doesn't fit well with the joy in my heart or the smile on my face, my cup indeed is running over.  I just pray you provide the cloth to wipe up the spills.  I know this too will pass and the blessing will be in the lesson. 

Please cover my son and not let someone having a bad day at work lead to him having a worse life.  He will already be faced with enough mountains to bare upon his release with his drug conviction.  

All he was trying to do was get the Officer's attention to be on time for the roll call to go to work for the day.  He was trying to go and have a good day at work when someone was having a bad day and wasn't hearing it. 

I am thankful you have blessed him to be able to write.  My son is at the mercy of these people.  He can't have any one-on-one interaction with the outside.  I received a letter from him yesterday that his hearing has been extended and he has to remain in the hole for at least until his hearing date which has been postponed until February 12th which equates to 28 days in the hole. 

Lord please, please, please, cover him.  Shield him against any forces against him.  He doesn't bother people. He has taught me to love more and be more tolerant of others, that's him.  This foolishness, that's not him.
