- This is the ex-meth cook at the Federal Prison in Tucson, Arizona. Many of
- you are speculating as to how I gain access to the Net. No, they don't
- allow me to have an Internet account here in prison. I didn't make a
- bundle and bribe the warden, and I'm not full of shit. What I do is send
- my material by mail to a friend in Miami. She posts it and sends me the
- replies, and other peoples' writing, either by mail or phone. It's
- frustrating not being able to answer right away but what can I do??
-
- Some people out there seem to think that the Federal Prison is a
- "cake-walk" but it's not "all that". It is better than most state prisons
- I guess. We don't have a golf course or tennis courts at this particular
- "Club-Fed". We don't live in barred cells. Imagine your bathroom with a
- bunk bed in place of the bathtub, and a desk and two lockers jammed in
- there. That's my room. I share that with a roommate. This place is on
- 14 acres (about 5 city blocks square) out in the middle of the stinking
- desert. There are about 800 inmates here, 67% of which are illegal
- aliens, 20% are African-American, 10% white and about 3% Native American.
- There are drugs and homemade alcohol (I personally don't fuck around).
- The food isn't too bad, and the worst part is no sex, unless you're a
- "punk". That is the prison term for someone who's blowing, fucking or
- getting fucked by other men (I don't indulge). If a guy is young, cute
- and weak, there's a good chance that predators will get him and fuck him.
- It's all about self-gratification for me; i.e. Hustler and baby oil.
- Life here is very monotonous. Nothing ever changes except the date and
- the faces. Overall I guess we live better that a lot of people on the
- streets except there's no pussy. This sounds like a damn travel
- brochure. Not even. It sux the big one to lose your freedom. Someone
- tells you when to eat, sleep, stand, work and shit. If you don't play the
- game by their rules, they can make this a very unpleasant experience.
- Believe me, none of you want to come here. It's totally fucked-up.
-
- Are you wondering why I've described my humble abode? Because it sux and
- I want you to know it sux. I live in a nightmare and been here so long
- that I've almost forgotten what physical human contact feels like. I
- don't remember what it's like to get in my car and go to the store. I've
- almost forgotten what pizza and beer taste like. I've been here since May
- 12, 1988. Okay, maybe I did deserve to come here. I was actually
- manufacturing methamphetamine on a large scale for personal greed and
- amusement. I'm not disputing that fact. What I do find appalling is that
- there are a lot of people in here simply for having big mouths and a lack
- of common sense. I estimate that only 25% of the crimes of manufacturing
- and conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamines were actually directly
- involved in cooking dope. And, there are literally thousands of us in
- here. The other 75% are fringe tweaker wanna-be's, like a lot of the
- idiots I'm seeing online, who were stupid or unlucky enough to get snared
- by the DEA.
-
- My last cellmate was serving a 144-month sentence for having a triple neck
- boiling flask in his storage unit. A guy two cells down from me is doing
- 14 years for telling a friend how to gas his oil over the telephone.
- There's yet another guy here who is doing 30 years for opening his stupid
- mouth and possessing 1 can of r-11 Freon solvent. He's about 55 years
- old. He'll die here and he couldn't make a gram of dope if his life
- depended on it. I've heard hundreds of these stories since I've been
- down.
-
- My AOL friend in Miami sends me meth-related posts from the alt.drug and
- rec.drug groups. Some of the shit I'm seeing is unbelievable. There are
- a lot of idiots out there saying that they want to make speed and for
- people to E-mail them formulas. There are also a few out there who have
- some chemical knowledge. They are posting formulas (most of which, by the
- way, are either bogus or totally impractical) and flexing their little
- wanna-be outlaw egos. Some of these people are intelligent but obviously
- ignorant of how Big Brother operates. They may think they can hide behind
- the First Amendment and say whatever they please because, after all, it's
- just information, right? Wrong. Our government has conveniently enacted
- rules and laws that enable them to circumvent the constitution. Their
- nearly unbeatable and favorite weapon is the federal conspiracy law.
- Under this law, a person doesn't even have to actually touch chemicals or
- drugs to be convicted. All he has to do is talk about it or commit an
- "act of furtherance". If a person comes online, says he wants to produce
- meth and also asks for a formula and you give it to him; that is an "act
- of furtherance". You have just directly enabled that person to commit a
- very serious felony that he would have been incapable of without your
- assistance. Therefore, in the eyes of the law, you are just as guilty as
- the actual perpetrator.
-
- Think of this: Timothy McVeigh comes online a few months back and says,
- "Fuck the Feds. They burned up those kids in Waco now I want to blow up a
- federal building. Please E-mail me the formula for a 5,000lb fertilizer
- bomb". If you sent him the formula, you would now be his cellmate in El
- Reno, Oklahoma facing the death penalty for conspiracy to commit murder.
-
- I'm sure you're all familiar with the two-year federal investigation of
- the kiddy-porn assholes. Yeah those people are sick fucks but that's not
- the point. The point is, the feds are online too. To the federal
- government, kiddy-porn is a relatively petty crime in comparison to
- manufacturing methamphetamines.
-
- I'm not writing this to get down on anybody. I'm just writing in hopes
- that my post will open the eyes of some of you out there who are treading
- on dangerous ground. You may think I'm paranoid, but that's not the case.
- You see, I don't give a fuck. I have nothing to lose, they've already
- went up in me and taken everything that mattered including my youth.
- There is an important lesson I have learned from all this and that is, how
- our federal government operates. They are sneaky, ruthless and
- underhanded. They don't play fair so don't expect them to. They don't
- care if you're innocent or guilty. All they care about are convictions.
-
- These newsgroups are cool. Go ahead and share experiences, ideas and
- opinions but I suggest keeping the technical stuff to minimum. The next
- person asking for a tip on manufacturing could very well be a DEA agent.
- Besides putting your own personal freedom in jeopardy, you could fuck up a
- good thing. The feds are looking for ways and reasons to censor the Net.
- Don't give them another. Be safe and be smart.
