TAY’S STORY (I)
3 o’clock. Count. Then they pass out mail, at like, 3:15. When you can see the CO walk to majority of the cell doors, and give a lot of inmates some mail, it’s just not the CO walking in here and he going to like four cell doors, four, five cell doors at the most. But if you can see the CO come and stop at numerous doors, and give a lot of inmates some mail that came from you all, and just to see everybody get up on the door, and to just feel that energy, to be happy, and everybody talking, and everybody recite all the good things that’s coming from this letter, or things like that, or what she say, or what he said, or what your penpal say, or something like that, it’s just the energy that you can just talk about that and to just be happy, it’s a different type of feeling. Ain’t nobody on the doors with no negative energy or, “wait til the doors roll, I’m finna beat your ass” or this or that, or they mad because this or because the police that pissed them off—ain’t nobody doing that. Everybody happy.
When it’s time to come to the dayroom, everybody in the dayroom, they smiling because everybody they got their letters at 3:15 or something like that, so now when it’s dayroom time around 6 o’clock, 6:30, everybody in the dayroom with good energy. Cause of something that you all did and sent that energy through there to make sure that everybody feels some type of way. And that’s—that’s. real. love, man. Like, for real. You don’t get that from everywhere. So that’s the feeling. That’s how it feel to receive something from them. All positive energy. Like, that’s what it is. And if somebody need something, and for them to give it to em, to make sure that they okay—it’s—that’s—I love them. For real. Yeah.
