Dear Mr. walton,
This is to acknowledge the JLI updates, and The
Clemency Packet, I wish to be included in the penpal project
with a college - student , That's ILLEGIBLE , I am also writing about
as you provided a list of 15 items for deeper conversation.
as a transgender women , I believe that I carry a unique perspective
as a women in a all-men's Prison . I home addressed name of
Those below :
1. Retaliation for legal work/advocacy,
while I have since 1977, been advocating/ doing legal work
I love, most assuraly, been subjected To forms of retaliation for
doing legal work to advocating The enforcement of rights. As to me the
only difference between a right and a privilege, Is a privilege cannot be enforced, But a right is enforceable . I can remember as
a child in [Redacted], Texas State School for Boys i was
Complaining to The dudes in The next dorms of [Redacted] beside me of
the injustice of summary punishment without hearing or appeal, The
guard came up on his horse behind me and using a hickory switch
Raised about 12 lumps on my [scribbled out word] noggin. I was informed of
The "no talking" policy as No one told me, or alerted me to The guard
behind me , That [scribbled out word] Taught me two - hard & fast rules.
1 ) Know The Rules , and 2 ) everyone you talk to isn't always
your friend !
In a more recent situation, I was threatened with summary
Isolation in Restrictive housing (under OPI -- offender Protection Investigation) I choose To withdraw my grievances ( on two Bosses, who
stripped searched me in front of other inmates, when the policy
said otherwise.
As a result of both incidents [Redacted] I had filed a
grivance. It was never returned to me within 180 days .
The Grievance Lady [Redacted] and Mr. [Redacted] (one of the officers
who stripped me naked exposing my Breasts in front of other
inmates. As a result of Those strip searches [Redacted], I was Inappropriately touched by other inmates as
the results of Those stripped searches.
4. seeking education /resources for personal and professional
growth [underlined]
Since 1977, I have continued education under the Pellgrant.
I obtained from Sam Houston State University, a double-major
in Psychology + Sociological with a minor in Business Management
In May 14, 1995, But I didn't quit, I continued on to The Masters
Program until I graduated from University of Houston -- Clear
lake (under my new name: Michael Darnell Luke Noe ) for a
Master's in The Humanities with a teaching focus in
history. But then, I did not stop even then, I
continued my religious Education, finishing the Masters
ILLEGIBLE in Christain Education, and I am currently working
on my Ph. D. In Christain Education from Shalom Ministry
Bible College + Seminary, ( where I am currently enrolled ). This
letter is correspondance ILLEGIBLE with a PHD instructor of the
Prison . So I encourage all to not allow yourself to stop
learning as you can never know to much.
10. Medical neglect [Underlined]
I have long advocated for those inside who are
suffering from mental illnesses or medical issues.
I am assisting a cancer patient , at this time, [Redacted],
whom has refused all off-unit appointments due
to the way you are chained up in handcuffs with a
Black box , and leg chains [scribbled out word] connected to a thin chain
from the Block Box to your legs. Even Those who
are doing [ILLEGIBLE] and by amblumence ( EMR ) are chained like this.
So I considered it a good issue To appeal.
The only thing that you didn't put, which I suggest
is That you add is EMR- medical pardon due
To terminal illnesses. Your article Packed was right
on time !
Well, any way, I commented on a few, thought I do
prefer that if you use my nome, you use the feminine
now (as I can receive mail under that nome as long as
My number is included.)
In Struggle,
Lots of love for you all.

In re: Update + Permission Draft Consent form
(enclosed )and transcript of Imagining Freedom
Dear Mr. Walton,
- Please add me to the penpal listing. Thank you for entrusting
me on your listing.
- As a transgender Woman, I have Gender Disphoria,
and while I have suffered at The hands of my captors, I have suffered
from Depression , anxiety, strong urge to self-castrate or suicide , I
have a loT of resilience from being a jailhouse lawyers, before
my coming out , and having gained ( In prison ) an education , I
have a master's in The Humanities with a Teaching focus in
history. after reform school (in Texas -- found to be cruel and unusual
punishment, I graduated To adult Texas prison life. I was raped
Before my third day There, and spend most of my life in one
sort of safekeeping or Protective custody, whether I wanted To
or not , Currently , I am in [Scribbled out word] general population, trying
To get transfer to a Woman's facility, so I can live fully as
as a woman (in transition ). I am preparing a lawsuit to
accomplish This. I am a political unity writer because
Thats The only form of rebellion in prison that They have Not
been able To stop -- Though, [Scribbled out word] [black line]
() has closed shut The door To Three fourths of our litigation-
No matter how worthy.
- Since The filing of my first writ against the
Parole board In 1994 from San Quentin state prison -- they
soon paroled me , and I forgot about the lawsuit, as I was young
I did not known better than, But it taught me that it is
better To struggle for your rights Then to lay down and
accept it . So I've been in the struggle for a while now.
- Having read Angela Davis comments, I am fully
aware of The San Quentin 6 , and their resulting
Struggles . I've even seen The bullet holes left in The
Cell walls + hallway in the adjustment center, I was
fully aware of The racism for crossing race lines,
I personally felt the abuse & discrimination my brothers
were going Through an I went Through The same for
my female gender identity and being a woman in a men's
prison, after 43 years in Texas prisons, I can tell
you That Texas is a leader in Racism and The
discrimination Toward Transgender women, Intersex,
lesbian , Gay , and Gender non-conforming persons (LGBTQ)
Our rate of sexual abuse in prison is nine Times
higher Than The national average (3,4 %). So abuse
and assualts are nothing new , but normal for all
Transgender Woman.
more later, I am certain that this program to help
writer is well, worth The efforts as we need all the help we can get.
We have just gotten the Tablets in TDCJ-Pack freshly
& it has E - mail , but you have To send a J-Pay to
get on The list ( as the quickest way to set up a
Contact ]. So far, I haven't got set up yet,
as they require us to pay for the service , and I
don't have funds to do so yet . But I am hoping to
get some . I filled out the draft consent form & signed it.
It is enclosed . I will continue to contribute ,
In Struggle,
Lots of love;

Dear People,
I'am a postoperative , Transgender woman incarcerated in a
Texas prison serving a life sentence ..
I have been incarcerated for 44 years ( Flat Line , on The life ),
in that Time I Brought my desire To fight the system using non-
Violent means. I went Through The Ruiz v Estelle as i've been
here since 1976 when I got a life-sentence for Murder. I am not the person I

( I suffer nerve damage from cutting The media Nerve . I have gotten a
College education while in TDCJ, after an epiphany - - a moment of
accute clarity in my life . I realized I was living a lie . I was
blaming formerly , friends, teachers, and any authority for my life choices
In that realization , I become responsible for myself and faced The
many bad consequences of living a lie. I decided that I needed
an education , so I started going to college- - I got a F on English
because I got locked up for fighting, and I realized that getting in
trouble and going to college didn't mix. So I became a model
prisoner, and avoided major disciplinary like the plague we
are suffering now (COID-19 ILLEGIBLE). I graduated from 4 year college
& went on the the masters (under the name Michael Darnell Luke Noe).
In 2018, I came out as a christian transgender woman.
But all my peers rejected That a Transgender could be a christian.
So I go it alone, having no family or friends alive I depend on
self very much. Do to my eastern religions study: Sedetha
Yogy, I have become none violent & look a oath to not harm anyone
else in my lifetime. After my sister died in 2019, I saw no need
to conceal that I have become a woman , and live as such. I am
on Cross-sex hormone Therapy & have breasts ( only ILLEGIBLE right now )!

Touching by staff + inmates as in Texas Prisons males treat to us

Dear Darren Breeden
I just finished your history, goals + story. I am
Impressed that you have accomplished so much, I really identify
with you on the accountability. I had an epiphany myself
one day, when each INELLIGIBLE in both arms, I sudden had
moment of "acute clarity," I realize that I was living a lie.
I've been a mentally ill person most of my life, but I found that if
I gave my all to others to help them [Redacted] ,
I am actually helping my self to heal. I realize that I had
been blaming my parents, teachers, authority figures, police, guards
I was so wrapped up in self-Pity, That like you , I blamed
everyone else for the serious consequences I now face. But, learning
I'm living a lie , I really realized it doesn't have to remain
That way , I was self- medicating & and blaming everyone for my choices.
I alone made those choices, not my parents, Teachers, authority and
Police . In realizing This , I became responsible for myself. I
began To change. I enrolled in school, finally graduated with
a master degree in humanities & a Teaching focus in civil war history
Now I assist others am an advocate for "LGBTQ" rights and
Just filed a Lawsuit, Which I will vigorously prosecute. The
only thing that these people can do to me is kill me, I've
get so depressed, anxiety, Thoughts of self -mutilation that I have
Had strong urges To self-castrate or suicide. But I am a highly
resilience person , and I've been able to overcome Those thoughts
and maintain myself. I just wanted to share my story with you
As I feel you might like To know.
