This letter was written because I was, as I still am being tortured and to get help. I was writing a Lawyer,The United States Marshal and the Parole Board telling them all that was going on.Only the Grievance to the Parole Board came back .Which it had been mailed from D-Ray James Prison. But the other mail was picked up from the post office by the prison I was told .And it was read back to me over this system that only I can hear. Those letters was sent from Central State Prison in Macon.
