An inmate at rec this morning tells me that there isn't any way that he and another inmate are going to be able to allow me on the last phone I have no been "kicked off." I tell him that he doesn't own the phone and that I have used the same phone for months ever since a different inmate left. I tell him that if he can't rotate the phone to the next person in line then he should go find a different phone. After rec I hear him complaining to the other inmate about being at the phone to stop me from using it. I am not really sure the best way to handle the conflict. I have essentially been forced down the line having attempted to find regular use of any phone during rec and without recruiting help to hold the phone like other inmates do, I am left either without or in opposition.
I also received mail from the Federal Courthouse today and need help to complete the forms, so I will be needing phone calls. It is all quite an over complicated mess that I do not have discovery or official records to attempt to complete on my own. till, only one person has bothered to install the application for video visits by which calls can be scheduled. I don't just need help. I need the right type of help to be responsive. As I was flipping through the channels a comment about control, dominance, and authority caught my attention in a show that was talking about the characteristics of serial killer John Wayne Gayce. The thing is, when I heard it, it seemed to me that it was describing law enforcement. I only stopped to watch more expecting it was a criticism of Law Enforcement and, as it turns out, it was about criminal behavior. From my perspective, authorities and criminals are in cahoots, so to hear the description provoked further contemplation. It often just comes back to a matter of privilege to do wrong and not be held accountable. I believe elected officials, public office, law enforcement, and people in positions of power and consequence should be held accountable to a much more severe standard than petty criminals because the harm they cause is irreparable and irreversible. Not only are they above the law, they are also exempt from consequence which allows them to do the worst harm. I also wrote down "misinformation masqueraded as fact." I thought that was an excellent description.
