Since I started working on this story about crack sentencing guidelines, I’ve been receiving bunches of email, via Corrlinks, from people serving various sentences related to crack-cocaine charges. I thought I’d share a few:

There was a a violent rape here at a Ohio FCI by a Prison Official who was the Food Service Head Adminstrater. He was arrested and now is being held in an FDC awaiting trial. You should be able to look it up. [Tried, couldn’t.] his Las Name was K. He was a big guy and the story is that he was into some real kinky rough sex with an inmate, nickname Short and it got out of contol and Short got hurt in the insides of his body and had to get medical attention. at first he didn’t want to tell but it was bad. he said he was rape by another inmate, this was going on for quite a while becasue he was getting favors from the officer. Now that the offecer is locked up someone else took his place the food here at this prison has went down incredibly. When I first got here the food was real goood a 5 star place compared to the other prisons I been to. Even the other inmates all say that at least when K. was here we was eating Better.

The correspondent was initially sentenced to 27 years for a crack-cocaine offense, but has been bumped down to 10. He is currently doing his final year.

Brend an Kiley has worked as a child actor in New Orleans, as a member of the junior press corps at the 1988 Republican National Convention, and, for one happy April, as a bootlegger’s assistant in Nicaragua....

  3. I applaud your decision to run with this unconfirmable yet truthy letter, because one must admire the style with which the writer draws our focus to how worse the food is now that the rapist isn’t involved.

  4. As I’ve said before, I’m not posting these letters because they’re pretty or even necessarily true. I post them because they’re raw artifacts from a world we don’t live in.

  7. I don’t get the snark on this thread. It says something about prison life that violent rape is so normal that it’s digested right alongside the crappy food.

    BTW, according to the DOJ, more prison rape is committed by the guards than by the inmates. This definitely deserves more attention, so I appreciate the post.

  8. Assuming this is real, I feel terrible for poor Short. First he gets pulled into an abusive relationship with an asshole rapist who hurts him badly enough to need a doctor, and now everyone hates him because the food sucks now that the rapist is gone. If Short is in there for some stupid drug charge, this goes beyond excessive to the point of being cruel and unusual.
