People need to know

I [prisoner serving a 20-year sentence for loving a boy] want to talk about the fear I live with every day that I will be assaulted. In the past seven years I've been moved through eight Federal prisons and am awaiting transfer to the ninth after my cell was set on fire. I want to talk about being raped while locked up in protective custody while the prison and the FBI have tried to cover it up. How I have been beaten on several occasions and had to have my face sewn up after a razor attack. I want to talk about the danger we face each day and how the prison administration will do little to protect us other than lock us in a 8x10 concrete cell isolated for 24 hours month on end. It may protect us physically but it destroys us mentally. People need to know.
