I’ve been housed in indefinite Solitary Confinement/Ad Seg/Restrictive Housing, which is all the same and just another or different name to create smoke and mirrors, I’ve survived the confinement of solitary for the past 23+ yrs and keeping the peace within our own Minds and Souls is to continue the battle and embracing the fruits of this struggle (in Solitary Confinement) - Gods Faith, Hope, Love, Peace, Tranquility and Positivity..
There is no other option or way to survive this Cruel and Unusual Punishment if it was’nt for Gods Mercy.
