This is what you must Remember: the ending of one story is just the Beginning of another. 

My name is Israel garcia Cajas JR. It’s Been Awhile since I’ve written to you, and Believe me alot has happened in that time? I will get to that later in this letter. But for now let me say first and foremost I thank you for what you do for us inmates in Restrictive housing, and for giving me a chance at Broadcasting my voice to those that are passionate Advocates that shape my words into message’s for the men and women of diverse color and culture’s who have lived and survived threw this struggle and that have overcome their traumas or at least have a Better understanding of it! It’s Real! I am a survivor who lives to empower, encourage and uplift others. I am more than a name or number lost Behind these walls.

Please allow me to personally share my vision, mission and purpose with you! We are all called to use our experiences to help others and i want what i have to say to help and empower you! this is for all those who have to fight for the Respect that everyone else is given without question! that said, its a new year and thier has Been change in my life? Ive Been diagnosed as a sufferer of post traumatic stress disorder and have social Anxiety? Was it a surprize for me to learn this after all the years ive spent in Ad/Seg? hell no it wasnt ive had to deal with insufficient Rehabilitative programming for years because it wasn’t Readily available to me in Ad/Seg! Well im here to say ive had help to push forward and im in a Better place mentally and have a Better understanding of my mental health its Been A process to overcome my life controlling problems? ya i still struggle At times But i know my triggers and Avoid shit that aggravates them! Its hard at times for the simple fact that there is a short of staff all over TDCJ. and us Back here in Ad/Seg get the worst of it. Like for example we are lucky if we get one day of Recreation a week, showers maybe twice a week. and its not just those issues that have to Be Addressed. the staff leave’s our mail unpassed if they dont feel like passing it out? When that happens its left in the picket or lost altogether! and these new tablet TDCJ has issued us. would Be a good thing if us Back here were allowed to have Access to the media store to Be Able to order movies and music and have the phone App Approved? again us inmates in Ad/Seg are not allowed those privileges? you wonder why? Well they say its Because of our custody level, or that thier is a security issue? I cant Really Speak on it Because I dont understand it my self? I just hope they Rectify the situation and allow us the privilege.
