[Transcript starts one minute into the call.] Daniel: ..the legal di… for my- my computer for the phone stuff so I could use the phone and call people, they found her number in the phone thing, OK, on the computer and they decided to call her, and Grace threatened a restraining order. I have not spoken to her since I’ve been arrested, or at all, OK? I don’t know what is going on with that, my public defender like I said will not tell me anything because I just haven’t spoken to her since I’ve been in custody, maybe not even this year. I don’t know, but I’ve been threatened now over a restraining order by them. Clark: Jeez! Daniel: I don’t know what’s going on, but SIS is just going haywire, and SIS here at the jail threatened to throw me in the SHU, um, over Grace. I don’t know what’s going on, I don’t know if it’s some type of attack, but I am to a point to where I feel like I’m being completely taken advantage of, not only prior to me coming in jail, but now that I’m in jail, I feel the same. Also, to go along with that, one of the CO’s got on the loudspeaker for the entire unit, told me yesterday to pack all of my belongings and that I was leaving. Clark: Jeez, so they were trying to get you kicked out of the unit, but then.. Daniel: They- no, it was correction officers that got on the loudspeaker for the entire pod, OK? And told me that, to pack my belongings… [video cuts] {{red|Daniel: …for the course to file two things on a weekend, on a holiday weekend is very very suspicious, let alone the fact that they said they were going to like, prob- my court, my public defender was going to send in a motion if I’m not moved by the end of January- or the, end of December, right the end of December, the 31st, then I would be getting out, right? That’s what he said, but then for it to be a new four months, right? A new four months and then they cancel it, and then say “No, we’re not going another four months so he’s getting out at the end of the 31st- December 31, once again to me is very suspicious, why don’t they just drop the case now? Clark: Yeah, December 31. Yeah, they need to- And Nicholas, yeah, he’s very suspicious too. I think he’s being investigated as well as we speak, I mean, actually I know he is. Daniel: Well, Nicholas is a- I agree with that, and that’s another thing SIS called me out on, but I also feel like he’s- he sent me in the mail legal information about my case. Clark: *coughs * Yeah. Daniel: They’re not allowed to renew the four months. At the end of the four months, it’s up to the jail um, manager or jail somebody, I forget. But, I actually have the paperwork and the rules for how they’re allowed to do the case. Clark: Oh, and you said you got punched in the face, but then you kind of told Nicholas that you punched yourself, so did you actually punch yourself or did you get punched? Daniel: Both. Clark: OK, OK. Daniel: But that was over a couple days ago and I talked to psych, and psych told me that, believe it or not, that my mental health is doing phenomenal! They said my mental health is doing phenomenal, and I just sat there and laughed at them when I came back to my cell. I was like, uh, my mental health is declining and you guys are saying it’s getting better? So what’s going on now? And that’s when I really started to raise red flags, as to what they’re teaching. It’s very, very weird, like, since Trump got in office, they’ve switched their motive on everything to, oh, he’s doing great, he’s doing phenomenal. And then I start getting all these correction officers randomly threatening me and saying, don’t talk to Grace, Grace- it’s pretty much a threatening Grace, if you really think about it. Clark: That’s weird. Yeah, and do they go through- Daniel: And I’m sitting here, going like, I never really talked- I don’t know what they’re talking about, and then you tell me that the two motions came out for my release or whatever, and that makes absolutely no sense. So why do I have to wait 31-ish days now until the 1st of January before I walk out this door because that’s after the holiday and that- Automated voice: This call is from a federal prison. Daniel: It would most likely be the soonest time after New Year’s, they would just walk me out the door here, my case is dropped… Clark: It’s almost like, yeah, it’s almost like they’re trying to give you a little bit of false hope, which is almost wrong though. Daniel: They’re trying to give me false hope is- and that’s almost wrong. I agree with that 100%, and that is what’s affecting my mental health at this point. I’ve known they’ve been doing this WAY since my public defender that I would be getting out and I would be transferred. When that didn’t happen, I started to already look at red flags as of three months ago, and then I started talking to the unit case manager about, “hey, can you schedule a legal call?” and he started saying no. Clark: Weird, and wait- Daniel: And then he went on vacation for two weeks, and when he came back he was only back for a day, and then he went on vacation again and I was like, this is turning into, definitely me being taken advantage of, and I’m not going to let that slide. Clark: Oh, no, and I- I mean, is your cellmate still messing with you or have you gotten that dealt with. Daniel: That situation is under control. Clark: OK. Did they let you write- Daniel: I got a new cellmate, I was with a previous cellmate that did rape me, um, but I reported it. Clark: Wh- what, did he touch you? What the hell, Daniel? Daniel: He… well it was a lot more than just that, but he held me down and wouldn’t let me move or whatever, and tried to do some stuff but I reported it and um, well another thing is the jail, um, sexual abuse whatever… report people, they dropped that case and said it never it happened, ‘cause hey didn’t have proof, so that pisses me off too. Clark: Jeez. Yeah, that’s wrong. Did they let you- Daniel: But they did move me out of that cell, and that guy actually got out of jail. He left to the halfway house, so that’s not good either. Clark: Weird, no that guys- Daniel: He goes to the same halfway house I was supposed to, then that’s a safety concern. Clark: That is. Daniel: So, the courts need to just drop the case so I don’t go to the halfway house, and also, I got money. I’ve been getting music stuff, right? My music sales that you know about, so I have money with that. Clark: Yeah, yeah. And you have- Daniel: And then, also, sorry one more thing. Clark: You’re good. Daniel: I hate to interrupt. [video cuts] Daniel: So, one big, big problem as well, about just kind of how things are going, way back in early October, right? Bob told me that my music sales got down to $12 a week. That’s a big drop from $180 from $200 to what it used to be. Clark: Yeah, yeah, that is. Daniel: So they’re destroying my public image, and my sales are going down. I’m gonna- If I get back out, I need to find a way to get housing fast. Clark: No, I agree, and we have to get your image looking better than always, so.. Daniel: I agree. But anyways, the phone’s about to cut out. What were you gonna say? Clark: Uh, I was just gonna say uh, I hope you’re doing well, and I hope they at least let you like, decorate your cell and something like that, because- Daniel: Um, I’m gonna get by. I’m fighting this right now, and I’m trying to get out, but I’ll get by, alright? Clark: OK, alright. Daniel: Alright. Bye.
