bayside state prison

I JUST FINISHED MAKING MY DAILY CALLS ON THE PHONE TO TRY TO SOLVE THE PHONE PROBLEM...I ONCE AGAIN, AS EVERY DAY, CALL VERIZON, AND GTL...THE ANSWER IS THE SAME WITH THEM...NO BLOCKS, EVERYTHINGS OK.

SO, THIS TIME AROUND, WHEN I CALLED BAYSIDE, I WENT TO THE "POWER PLANT EXTENSION."...I MEAN, I FIGURED IF ANYONE SHOULD KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON AT BAYSIDE, WITH THE PHONES, IT SHOULD BE THE GUYS IN THE POWER PLANT  (I HAVE ALREADY SPOKEN TO SOCIAL WORKERS, AND BUSINESS OFFICE, AND THEY DON'T REALLY GIVE ME A PROPER ANSWER)...........

SO FINALLY, I GOT A MOST WONDERFUL MAN IN THE POWER PLANT, WHO SPOKE VERY NICELY TO ME, AND EXPLAINED EVERYTHING, IN A CALM WAY.....HE SAID THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE INMATES PHONES AT BAYSIDE, AND THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS, AND ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON IT..............FINALLY, I GOT SOME PLAIN AND SIMPLE DIRECT ANSWERS...THAT IS ALL I WANTED, AT LEAST..........THAT IS ALL ANY PRISONER'S FAMILY WANTS.......ANSWERS.  AND IT SEEMS THAT OUR PRISON SYSTEM, THE WAY IT IS CURRENTLY SET UP, PROVDES NO ANSWERS FOR THE FAMILIES THAT SIT AT HOME, AND ONLY WAIT......I HAVE SAID IT ALL ALONG, IN THIS JOURNAL, AND THIS IS ONE EXAMPLE THAT PROVES IT.

AND SO, THIS NICE MAN, TOLD ME THAT BY THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK, MAYBE SOONER,  THE PHONES SHOULD BE WORKING...AS IT IS A MAJOR PROBLEM....

AND I SEND MY BLESSINGS TO THIS MAN, WHO TOLD ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS....AND HE SAID IT TO ME IN A CALM WAY...HE WAS NOT ANNOYED, THAT I HAD CALLED THE POWER PLANT.  HE WAS NOT HURRIED, OR IMPATIENT , AS MOST PEOPLE ARE.  AND SO, I BLESS HIM, OVER AND OVER AGAIN, THAT HE HAS GIVEN ME SOME PEACE OF MIND.....THERE SHOULD BE MORE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD LIKE THIS MAN.....EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE YOU DO COME ACROSS A PERSON, WHO DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN OUR WORLD, AND HE IS ONE OF THEM.....

I WILL GO OUT NOW, TO MAIL JIMMY THE 10-PAGE LETTER I WROTE HIM LAST NIGHT.
