"known, I will get isolated and beaten again. Flash. But I
must speak out. There are people in need of medical and
psychiatric care who are not receiving it. If you're not
in isolation like I was, there is a bad bed shortage. Last
night my first night out, I was moved into Dave's ward, Dl.
I sleep on the bench in the waiting room for there aren't
enough beds.
"The warden had orders to cut off our hair now
rather than wait until next week in the event we got bail and
were let out on the street. The orders came from Sheriff Joe
Woods personally we learned. Jerry and I had to be handcuffed
to the chair. I began to understand for the first time why the
barber shop poles are red, white and blue. Those colors have
come to represent the sadism and brutality present in American
thinking policy.
"All America is a prison. The President is a warden
and the people are all inmates.
"Love Abbie
"D.§, I just saw the haircut story on t.v. and it is a total
obscene lie. I never said anything that they said I did -
except that 'it was an act of racism': They a11 want to make it
sound cute but my longhaired brothers and sisters who understand
the truth of this can see through their short-haired pig lies."
