Scenes from a Mexican Jail
We get emails. Some of them are from a friend who is doing substantial time in Mexican jail (though there is some hope for a new appeal). He has graciously given me permission to share excerpts of his emails from time to time. I share them in case you, like me, find in them a subtle blend of profanity, poetry, repugnancy and humor.
I was sitting upstairs on the balconany reading my book when i felt wind rush right by my face follow by a bang. A softball came within centimeters of hitting me right in the face! It had happened be4 when i here the sound of the ball and bat by chance look up and have just enough time to move my face to the side so i don’t get hit. Once it hit the pole right in front of me, i got lucky then. I try to pay attention now.

The “hard” guys of the jail made their own [Dia de los Muerto] display. I have included a pic. These idiots love & r obcessed by the grim reaper aka santa muerta or saint death. They made this “shrine” where all the crack heads used to smoke their crack. They put candles, pic, statues, breads, candy, & coins. They all do this silly cross & kiss w their hands. I think the santa m crowed is the biggest bunch of dumbasses i have ever met, actully i can say that about just about every1 here. Out of 1500 people 15 don’t fall in to the dumbass catagory.

Dinosaur ass. That’s how i would describe the size of this woman’s ass. How can she walk w out setting fire to her pants is a mystry. She was delivering bread to the bread man & i couldn’t help but stare in awe of something so huge. I also wondered many things about this woman. She was tall 4 a fat person & i wonder how she gets on doing things that people do. Surly it must be hard. Did she notice getting that fat or does she not know. Maybe she is unawear of how big she is. That is possible, she could see herself as a sex machine. I wish i could read minds, wish i could follow her round 1 day to find out what happens next. Jesus she was fat, not the fattest though but close.

Inmates day i nov 19th. There will be a party maybe free booze in the cell at night. If there is u can look forward to some good stories next letter. … They will also hve contests like who can roll a joint & smoke it the fastest while walking in a circle if i remember correctly. Then they raffal off the strippers. The winner gets a drug pack, booze, & cojugal 4 couple hrs. They give every1 a free ticket.

They have run out of pot again. This is starting to occur on a reg basis now. When this happens the bad people start misbehaveing & it’s possible that they cause trouble. The company guys in charge are a little worried the people will wake up soon. When the zetas took over the jail from [Joe] they went & snatched his mom & wife & had them call him they did a deal & they were set free. That was a peaceful take over 4 us. [Joe] kept his status & respect he was just out a job. It was good 4 a while the boss was generous & made things right, but it didn’t last. He became paronoid which sucked 4 us because he kept having internal revisions.

Ok so the latest news bout this party is that it is going 2 b huge! It will be more like a fare w cock fights, a famous mexican rock & roll band, the drag queen dancing & who knows what else. I will of course report all scandles.
