DEAR TYLER,
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR SUCH A WARM WELCOMING! IT IS TRULY A PLEASURE
TO BE APART OF THE JAILHOUSE LAWYER INITIATIVE . ALSO, I WOULD LIKE TO BE INCLUDED IN
FUTURE COHORTS OF THE PEN PAL PROGRAM, AND I HAVE A TABLET ALSO TO BE CONTACTED
ELECTRONICALLY VIA J-PAY / SECURUS E MESSAGING. THANK YOU! NOW ONE VERY IMPORTANT THING I
WOULD LIKE TO SPOTLIGHT IS THE TREATMENT OR LACK THERE OF THAT THE JUSTICE SYSTEM RENDERS
TO INCARCERATED VETERANS. I AM A COMBAT VETERAN OF IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN, RECEIPENTANT
OF THE COMBAT INFANTRY BADGE, COMBAT ACTION BADGE, AND BRONZE STAR. I SERVED OVER
20 YEARS IN THE ARMY AND SUFFERED PTSD, COMBAT FATIGUE, ANXIETY, AND DEPRESSION, BUT NONE
OF THESE THINGS MATTERED WHEN IT CAME TO SECURING A CONVICTION! SO MANY TRICKS OF
THE TRADE WERE USED AS COMMON EVERYDAY PRACTICE BY THE COURT, ASSISTANT D.A. AND MY LAWYER.
THIS WAS BELL COUNTY, TX 426TH DISTRICT COURT, 15 MINS AWAY FROM FT. HOOD, TX THE LARGEST U.S.
MILITARY INSTALLATION IN THE WORLD . ON FORT HOOD THE MILITARY POLICE ARE NOT IN CONTROL,

INSTEAD IT'S THE FORT HOOD POLICE NOT MILITARY POLICE, THESE OFFICERS ARREST ACTIVE-DUTY
SOLDIERS AND TURN THEM OVER INTO THE TEXAS STATE SYSTEM WITH NO REGARD TO THE SOLDIER'S
FAMILY, WHERE THEY ARE FROM , SERVICE TO THE NATION ... JUST CONVICTION!!! I HAVE APPEALED
FIVE TIMES TO NO AVAIL BECAUSE OF A GUILTY PLEA I WAS COERCED INTO, PROSECUTORIAL
CONDUCT AND INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL. AS A VETERAN THE VA HAS BEEN USELESS
ALSO BECAUSE I'M INCARCERATED ... I HAVE FILED NUMEROUS TIMES FOR DISABILITY COMPENSATION!
TO NO AVAIL ONLY TO BE DENIED!!! I FINALLY GAVE UP ALTHOUGH I NEED THE 10% DISABILITY WHICH
WOULD PROVIDE ME WITH ABOUT $150.00 PER MONTH TO LIVE IN PRISON WITH. NO ONE TALKS ABOUT
THE NEED OF MONEY TO BUY HYGIENE ITEMS AND FOOD , PLUS STAMPS AND ENVELOPES! ALSO IN TEXAS
NOT RECEIVING CREDIT TOWARD PAROLE FOR THE GOOD TIME AND WORK TIME ONE HAS EARNED AND NO
EXTRA CREDIT FOR CLASSES OR VOCATIONAL TRADES TAKEN. THESE ISSUES NEED TO BE FLASHLIGHTED!
JUSTICE IS ONE THING, BUT MODERN DAY SLAVERY IS WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING! I HAVE NO [Illegible]
SAVINGS FOR RETIREMENT AND I FACE NUMEROUS STRUGGLES ONCE RELEASED, THESE ISSUES NEED TO BE
FLASHLIGHTED, BECAUSE THEY'RE REAL!!! THANK YOU BROTHER AND GOD BLESS YOU
