It's loud. They yell, sing, play music until about 2:00am. A few carry on until 4:00 or 4:30am. Psychiatric Services Unit ("PSU") knocks on my door after breakfast. The lady asks "how's it going?" I don't even know what she means by asking. It's more pleasant in a dog kennel during a bark-a-thon. I go visit Social Worker Peters. No, I am not afraid of being raped. I go see Nurse Kinyon (sp?) who tells me to submit my concerns in writing. Every time I leave my cell and pass the guard who originally escorted me to this unit, she announces to any other guard "that's Anderson."
From what I can tell more than 90%, 36 cells, have inmates that are constantly spouting racist remarks about white people. They make condescending remarks about how white people cannot fight and how, in their opinion, they (we) are all soft ass bitches. That's the least offensive comment, really. Two of the guys get into it because one saw the words "host of cysts" on the guys medical papers and the racism takes a break until I use the term "nigga." It's actually just part of the name of the song I was talking about, but one of the guys gets all wound up about a white guy saying it. I didn't say it in any way derogatory and expecting he was actually just joking I responded that he was the police trying to deprive me of my rights. Turns out, he was actually serious. Well, this should be interesting now.

What sensible person anywhere, never mind in prison, uses the N word, and when talking to a black person. Who is a criminal. Speechless as to whether he’s a idiot or deliberately provocative. I sense the latter based on his writings to date.

Thank you for viewing our website. If you would re-direct your attention to previous journal entries, you will discover that he didn't use the N word, he said the title of a song that happened to have the N word in it. As it turns out, Zach's musical interest is broad and does also include various rap songs, of which he did not choose the titles.
