As the year closes down for us Pagans, I have a tendency to become very introspective. I think most people do this time of year. The last 4 months have been really emotional for both Lorne and I. Since the end of June when his cell was "raided" and all of his religious materials went missing he has been in a deep funk. The truth of the matter is, he hates it down south and I can't say as I blame him. As for me, it has been very hard to stand next to him and say silly stuff like "it will be ok babe" when it feels like a lie dropping off my tongue. I want it to be ok, I really do but it doesn't feel like it ever will be.
Letters to lawyers and the cranky warden at NSP has resulted in nothing...not a thing being done with regards to the loss of Lorne's religious material. One would think that it would be the on the top of their list "prevent lawsuits" but the system is not designed that way. It is designed to force the inmate to file a lawsuit just to get a straight answer out of anyone! I have literally written 3 and 4 page letters to the warden and NSP and I get single paragraph responses that say nothing. I have questions, they have ZERO answers other than, "I'm glad that Inmate Richardson is using the grievance process to resolve these unfounded allegations"....unfounded my ass!! I have documents that say otherwise just as I know you don't have documents that prove you didn't do what you say you did.
I wish I had money to hire a lawyer to handle this. I wish I had the money to take on the state of NV for their abuses to inmates...not just Lorne but for all those who are persecuted.
