[00:22.180]Henry, sorry for not writing in so long
[00:24.870]But Things have been less than great here lately
[00:28.550]I think I’ve been depressed, maybe a little in shock
[00:31.480]I don’t know if you’ve heard
[00:33.040]But they’ve moved me to another prison
[00:34.540]This one is a super maximum security unit
[00:36.410]
[00:37.470]First, the state police came rushing in on us at 2 o’clock in the morning
[00:41.590]With m16 assault rifles and attack dogs
[00:43.340]
[00:44.270]They got everyone out of bed
[00:46.020]Chained us all up and brought us here
[00:48.080]
[00:48.700]This is the same prison where Jason and Jesse are
[00:51.140]But we’re in different parts
[00:53.010]Here, I’m in complete and total isolation 24 hours a day
[00:56.880]I’m in a concrete room with a solid steel door
[00:59.810]There’s a drain in the floor
[01:01.810]And a water spout in the wall
[01:03.120]That’s how you wash or take a shower
[01:04.870]You never even get to go out into the sun here
[01:07.920]Not to mention, they had a huge budget cut
[01:10.480]So the first thing they sliced was the food
[01:12.600]
[01:13.290]I’m not even allowed to have an ink pen
[01:16.100]I’m writing with a filler tube from inside a pen
[01:18.470]Which is why my handwriting’s atrocious
[01:20.650]I haven’t really felt depressed in the truest sense of the word
[01:24.470]But all I’ve done is lie in bed sleeping day and night
[01:27.530]Now, I’m adjusting
[01:28.660]You can adapt to almost anything given enough time
[01:31.780]
[01:33.030]Two days ago my appeal was denied
[01:34.460]Shot down by the Arkanas Supreme Court
[01:38.520]Everyone has always told me to expect it
[01:40.450]And if any help comes, it will be from the Federal Court
[01:44.690]But when I saw this decision in the news
[01:46.820]I still had the feeling in my stomach that I was falling
[01:49.250]
[01:50.060]I’m getting scared Henry
[01:52.000]I can’t tell anyone else that
[01:54.060]Cos everyone here wants me to be fearless and to have no doubts
[01:57.860]Not all bad news though
[01:59.730]
[02:00.360]I’ll be seeing my son Seth soon
[02:02.790]He’ll be coming for a week-long visit at the 1st of January
[02:05.350]He just turned ten years old
[02:07.530]
[02:08.090]And is still hard to believe
[02:09.850]Especially when I hear him call me Dad
[02:11.900]
[02:12.900]I haven’t got used to that
[02:15.020]I’m really looking forward to it though
[02:17.080]
[02:17.710]I’ll close for now but will be in touch soon
[02:20.330]
[02:20.830]Lorri and Jay are discussing what strategy to use from here
[02:23.630]
[02:24.200]I’ll keep you posted
[02:25.440]Damien
