I get all correspondence that you put out, George, and trust me, I feel your pain. I was forced to endure two years and eight months of what you are enduring right now, except you haven’t reached the point where they tie you into a chair naked after beating you and putting you in a dark shower so long that your arms bleed from the straps. I pray this never happens to you.

People think inmates in prison are just complaining and deserve to be treated like animals because they broke the law. I think every person should have to spend 30 days in the SHU before being sworn into political office so they can experience what they’ve built and ignored as it continues to happen to people like you and me. No human being should be treated as such in the United States, especially for crimes that hurt no one.

I question President Trump about how he can continue to ignore and leave me in prison dealing with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses after federal witnesses admitted to perjury and plotting to kill me on television. I still sit here waiting for justice and the ability to go home.

I say your lawyers should have you moved to a place like FMC Fort Worth, where death threats don’t happen because everyone there is just trying to go home. I pray you make it through this treatment without praying for your heart to stop like I did. Somehow, God gave me the strength to survive, hoping President Trump makes this right.

My parents died while I was in solitary confinement, and I’ve lost everything. Hold on to hope, George. I believe President Trump will do the right thing. Hold on to God and your family.
