Prison VLOG 6

Prison VLOG 2

No more BLOG? Maybe…

I spoke with Six today and he had great news, he was allowed to choose 2 sites for whitelisting in the prison firewall.

He chose the obvious, since he is making video, Youtube and Patreon, both outlets for his videos and images from prison.

I have gone back to work and I am not willing to relay messages from him to the blog for now.

If you want to keep up with his project, you will have to ask questions on his videos in comments at youtube or patreon.

He will only be posting blog updates to the Patreon page, https://Patreon.com/Facility5 and only patrons will be able to see them.

I think this is fair, he has already given hundreds of videos and about a million words for free and now that we need him to be locked up for as long as possible as he tries to get permission to interview prisoners, we need to cater to those who support the project from here on.

He is allowed to post entries on Patreon, as well as member only photos and videos from his prison cell.

Once they finalize his vlog permissions, its likely he will be able to show his life in the cell in much more detail, so it should be pretty exciting for those who are interested in his imprisonment.

These are exciting times, after waiting so long, its actually starting to happen, we would love to have you along for the ride!

Toe people in prison!

You all know that I love toe people! I am not sure if he wanted me to post this or not, he just sent it to me.

He is sitting at the foot of the top bunk in his cell in this photo, this is the approved location for the VLOG.

He is working on it, he wants to keep it short and to the point.

His new cell looks comfy. 🙂

His feet are so filthy and I know from experience by how bright it is there, they are probably black in real life.

Oh, by the way, this was taken from his VLOG camera, they delivered it with breakfast this morning. 🙂

VLOG Permission Granted!

Its weird, the last time I spoke to Six, they had moved him into the punishment cells, he was in solitary confinement and admin told him that he would be moved to consolidated confinement after a week in solitary.

They also told him that he had 22 points in his file and because of his punishment status, that would be double punishment and that he would not only have to spend the last 3 weeks of his quarantine in consolidated confinement, but he would have to serve another 44 days as well.

He was pretty pissed off, because they also told him that they had released his cell to another prisoner and that after spending 65 days in consolidated confinement, he would go back on standby for another lower level luxury cell.

It was not looking good at all!

I emailed our contact with a complaint and she never replied to my email.

Then suddenly today, they pulled him out of solitary, he thought they were going to move him to consolidated confinement, but instead they told him he had a meeting with legal scheduled, which is weird because previously, he was only allowed a hearing with legal after he got to his regular cell, they wouldnt hear him while in the punishment cells.

He just sent me this email from prison:

EMAIL FROM SIX:

Hey, I am super excited, they pulled me from solitary confinement in the punishment cells and took me to a hearing room. I stood with filthy bare feet on a footprint authentication panel with nothing on but a paper punishment gown and no underwear, as I looked down in the mirror beneath my feet and then up at the desks that are raised up so those who sit up there are looking down at me.

Of course from that vantage point, as I am standing on a mirror, they can see right up my gown… I am wearing the permanent shackles and punishment restraints.

I am standing there for what feels like hours, wondering if there was a mistake because I dont normally have hearings with legal while in the punishment cells, the glass panel I am standing on heats up like they always do when standing on them for a long time as I start leaving sweaty black footprints on the glass, hoping that I can muddy up the glass enough to block direct view of my crotch.

They lawyers finally come into the room, 4 older men and 3 younger female secretaries or paralegals.

Its always degrading being seen like that by people who are way above my station, they are clean and wearing street clothes and the only thing we have in common is bare feet, because of the barefoot rule in the prison.

But I am filthy, chained up and wearing nothing but paper and they sit on pedestals which is designed to make us feel small as we stand on the footprint authentication panel.

I have been to these meetings before, so I know what to expect as they watch my videos and read my blogs and make fun of me and threaten me with punishment for saying things that I wasnt supposed to say.

These guys are the reason that I have to serve 44 days in consolidated confinement and I am sure at this point they dragged me from the punishment cells to add more days to my punishment.

They start out as usual, going over a video I posted and so far this meeting is going exactly as expected as they degrade and insult me before threatening more punishment.

This goes on for about 3 hours, and I have been standing on this hot footprint authentication panel for a couple hours before that. I am tired and hungry and at this point, I just want to go back to my punishment cell, expecting that they would be moving me consolidated confinement for a 65 day stay with additional time for standby again.

But then its like someone flipped a switch, suddenly they are being nice, well nicer than usual anyway.

One of the lawyers petitioned to allow audio only vlogs to begin, then another lawyer mentions the luxury cell, I dont remember exactly what he said, but he eluded to me being moved to a luxury cell after this meeting.

I am getting super excited, but I am still a little skeptical, is this just another tactic to degrade me further, getting my hopes up, then having the staff take me back down to the punishment cells and put me in consolidated confinement?

Well, I continue to listen, because I am not allowed to speak unless asked a direct question as they talk amongst themselves.

then a 3rd lawyer suggests allowing video, but restrict it for now, to just a corner of the cell, until we work out the logistics and rules.

I thought, no way in hell are they going to allow this so soon, but then the other 3 lawyers agree and write it down. They set a limit, I can do a VLOG from my new lower level luxury cell, but I can only show the corner of the back of the cell at the foot of my cell bunk.

I honestly dont know if it was the hunger, the fact that I had been standing motionless on a hot glass panel for 5 hours or the shock of all this finally coming to fruition, but I felt like I was going to pass out.

But I am still a little skeptical, but they seem to be actually planning all this as they write it down.

They hit the wooden hammer down and walk out without a single word from me.

The staff come a little later, after they had left to take me back to the punishment cells, this is when I realize they were just messing with me and now I was going to a consolidated confinement cell with added punishment days.

But when we get back to the punishment cells, they take me to processing and give me a uniform, I rip the paper off and slip on grey leggings, grey long sleeve shirt and the long t-shirt and they escort me back up the stairwell of foot torture, across the parking structure to the main building.

Once I am through the glass door, Mother instructs me with a map to my new cell. This is another lower level luxury cell, not the one I was in before, but its really close to the one I was in.

I make my way and slide the barred door shut behind me as I step on to the footprint authentication panel in my new cell.

Later in the day, they delivered my ipad to the cell, but no camera…

I checked the terminal in my cell for deliveries and it looks like the little camera, not my main camera, will be delivered tomorrow.

So, its actually starting to happen, i am still on quarantine, but I am back in a lower level luxury cell and I have my ipad.

I am including pictures and if you are seeing them now, then they were obviously approved by staff, because I wouldnt be able to send them otherwise, so I guess this is a test.

These are pictures of what my feet look like after being in the punishment cells, then walking the halls of the prison to my new cell. the floor in here is filthy with black footprints left by the previous prisoner, so clearly no one cleaned it before putting me inside, but its still awesome.

The lighting in here is bright, so my toes are not as black on camera, but this is shot while standing on the tiled floor of my new luxury cell.

I hope they dont get mad, these are technically not in the corner of my cell at the foot of my bunk, but I think the spirit of the restriction is to not show anything in the cell that might be restricted later, I am pretty sure these images dont show anything that will be restricted by the final ruling.

I hope to get my camera tomorrow, they are only allowing me to submit one vlog per week, I still dont have whitelist on firewall, I will have to edit the vlog and submit it to legal, one of the paralegal girls will view it and give me time codes for cuts.

I can only cut the submitted vlog, I cant reshoot it with the changes, so the final vlog will probably have jump cuts. If i reshoot it, then it counts as a new vlog and I wont be able to submit it till the following week.

Its a little annoying, but I am just happy they are letting me vlog so soon, after what admin told me, I was expecting another 3 or 4 months in consolidated confinement, and here I am in the luxury cell. I didnt even have to complete my 30 days in quarantine.

I am still flagged for quarantine, which means I cant leave my cell, not even for mandatory labor, so the next 3 weeks is going to be pretty chill. 🙂

Comments answered… New Q&A!

I answered comments on here, answered emails and comments on youtube. My fingers are tired now…

But I have had a lot of questions and I think we need another Q&A from Six. Rather than have him talk for 3 more hours, and then me having to edit all day afterwards.

I think it would be best if you ask your questions on THIS POST… I will read the questions to him on my next call and answer them with text here.

That way I can take all his blathering and tangents and make them simple direct answers. 😉

I have a feeling that the Q&As are going to become very popular as his place in the prison changes over the next few months.

Paperwork for upgrade

I am expecting the paperwork to upgrade Six’s imprisonment to the lower level luxury cell and doom him to restricted status for the rest of his imprisonment. Its supposed to be here tomorrow and I have already taken tomorrow off and arranged for a meeting with a notary public, to have the papers notarized.

I am a bit nervous about it, since its going to cost us more and the whole restricted status is going to make him very uncomfortable and once signed there is no going back. Once they put him in that cell, we cant change the contract again.

I am off today and as usual, when i get nervous about stuff, I turn to you, his fans. So I am going to be answering all the comments and emails throughout the day.

Sorry for neglecting you. I will try to answer all your questions today.

If you have any further questions, comment to this post and I will try to answer them as well.

Luxury Cell it is…

I was just informed by my contact at Facility 5 that they are converting an entire floor into plural imprisonment.

Apparently they perform prisoner evaluations on a regular basis, both mental and physical and part of that evaluation if to create a happiness index and supposedly the happiness index went up by 8%, nearly all coming from prisoners in the plural cells.

So I guess, because of the over crowding, this new happiness index and probably because they make more money, they are going to be converting an entire floor to plural imprisonment.

As regular cells come available elsewhere in the prison, they will be moving regular prisoners from that floor to the available cells elsewhere and they plan to convert all the new plural cells into luxury cells with all the nice bits and adding 2 more bunks to house 4 prisoners in a nice cell.

I have been given 3 options, move Six to plural imprisonment and triple his sentence in a quad cell with a rebate, upgrade him to a luxury cell or keep him in consolidated confinement, for the next several years…

They gave me this information before my call with him on the 23rd and we decided that because of our personal contract, the only option here is to upgrade him. I was already leaning towards that option, with the lower level luxury cell, so it looks like its going to happen.

I am working with my contact to reduce the cost as much as possible, which means he will remain on restricted level while in the new cell, its not going to be the most comfortable solution for Six, but its the only way we will be able to afford the upgrade.

I was told that he would be placed on restricted status immediately, which comes with mandatory prison labor, so he will be starting that labor shift within the next few days.

Once they work out the numbers, they will mail the new contract for me to sign. Its not certain that he will get the next available luxury cell, but I have been promised that there are other luxury cells coming available next month.

He wanted to do an update on this last call, but I want him to wait until we get all the details in order.

Dont get too excited about the vlog, they informed me that he would have to work out the logistics of that with the prison board and that will probably be at least a month before he gets a hearing and it may require multiple hearings.

He will of course be able to update by phone like he has been, but it may be a while before you can see him in his cell… However, I will have immediate access to the camera in his cell, so I will get to see him and I am really looking forward to that.

I am under strict NDA, so I wont be able to show images from that live stream, unfortunately.

Deteriorating Cell Conditions

I spoke with Six a few days ago and he says that the cells are getting humid again and he begged me for just about the entire call to either put him in plural imprisonment or upgrade him to a luxury cell.

I told him over and over that neither options would work and he wouldnt take no for an answer…

I had to threaten him with time in the dungeon, since I have that power and he stopped, but apparently he isnt happy with his situation anymore as he said the cell they pulled him out of was pretty muddy.

He says that he expects it to get worse.

I emailed my contact at Facility 5 and they are planning on using dehumidifiers down there, but Six believes that it will take them forever to actually do it and its already to the point where there feet are muddy 24 hours a day right now.

I dont want him to have to suffer through that again, but I cant downgrade him to plural imprisonment, because he wont be able to do the vlog from that cell…

I cant upgrade him, because it would reduce his sentence and make it too expensive to keep him locked up long enough to get permission and do the vlog.

There is a lower level luxury cell coming available next month, its a little cheaper because its underground and doesnt have a window.

I have been giving it some thought, I might try to work a deal with Facility 5 to get a lower price on the luxury cell that is coming available.

I am just worried that if I dont get him out of consolidated confinement, he will probably be in there for several more months and he has already been chained up like that for 70 days, now with the humidity problem coming back, it sounds pretty miserable.

Also, many of his friends have been taking PPV to escape the poor conditions, so he never sees them anymore.

I told him that if Facility 5 will give me the lower level luxury cell for 50% over the cost of a regular cell, that I will take it. The problem is that its currently set to 3 times the cost of a regular cell, so I doubt they will cut the price in half.

I told him he had to stay in consolidated confinement for a minimum of 90 days before I would even consider an upgrade, but as you can see, I am considering it now. I dont want to miss out on the lower level cell.

They have status levels in the prison, which determine benefits and privileges for prisoners. Six mentioned that if I negotiate with having him go in to the new cell with a lower status level, they might be willing to go lower on the price.

They use these levels as up sales, so the levels are worth something in the prison and if he can go into the cell with a level 0 or level 1, maybe we can get the price down.

Even though I told him no more than 50%, if they offer a cell for 2 times the cost, it will reduce the 1 year sentence that we have already paid for to only 6 months.

I have to admit, I have some personal incentive here, having him back home sooner makes me happy and as long as he can do the vlog in that time, it should be fine. I think he can get permission and do the vlog with 6 months plus the additional 3 months on administrative extension.

I hate doing this, because I promised him that I would do everything in my power to keep him locked up for as long as possible… But he sounded really desperate and I feel bad for him.

On the other hand, maybe facility 5 will fix the humidity problem and I am just being stupid for trying to get him out, maybe I should just let him stay in consolidated confinement until a regular cell comes available, no matter how long it takes.

Q & A Wednesday

I will be getting my call from Six on Wednesday this week, so if you have questions for him, comment here or you can email private questions to ShackledBareFeet@hotmail.com.

I have gotten a few questions there already, I have decided that rather than type his responses to email or here, I will record the call and make another video with his verbal responses.

So, if you have any questions about what its like to be locked up on consolidated confinement, now is the time.
