“The New Political Prisuner

D. Howard
For the first time in Califorma state history, A New Generation of inner-city youth
housed on Death Row at San Quentin State Prison are taking mtters into their
v lands with an inspiring movement geared (o educate the public, specifically
e “next generation” of their youth, portraying ruinous patterus of social and
wconomic gain for corrupt law-enforcement and justice system officials alike.
redefining the words, "Political Prisone”.

Despite ltle journalistic acelaim and even fewer resources, this crusade emerged
from a vision had by a wise young nan who chose to assemble a creative wril
group comprised primarily of candemned youth, dubbed Papyrus Collecti
(PAPCO)

Understood for generations, the term "political prisoner” has been predomisantly
(and respectully) tied to revolutionary and freedom fighters everywhere.

PAPCO has begun publishing their o magazine (ZINE) now knowu
“Write or Die”. Their underground guerrilla-like periodical is fast becoming an
innovative outlet to exhibit poetry, columns, essays, artwork, photos, and
unedited shoptalk between themselves from inside Death Row in & popular
section called "@Golgotha”, made available both online at

wwiw betweenthebars.org and in print, directed to the streets of America’s inner
cites, giving rise 10 the fight for true freedom while preventing illegal captures of
our next generation, lterally.

With www deathrowinmate.org (DRL) graciously hosting the workshop cfforts,
PAPCO thrives online as a platform for society to consume relevant and valuable.
information slated to impart "reality” upon today’s youth, before they (lke us) fall
vietin to the deathtrap which anxiously awaits them. PAPCO's uiany voices aim
t0 unmask the face of the new political prisoner behind the nation's every
detention facility and penitentiary, compounds that warehouse generationhfter
seneration of men and women serving unjustified sentences for "Street Level”
offenses.

Death Row is no longer a place for the so-called serial killr, child molester, or
media-born foreign bomber type. Read unending stories, solution-based ideas,
and challenging calls for self-leadership amongst our youth — forward motion
without breaks. Join hands with PAPCO in our mission t0 keep the next

gencration inforued and out of prison, stand obliged 1 alert communities that
funer-city youth are indee, "a-risk”. We challenge the public,specifcally our

local youth leaders, to make inquiries as to the many undisclosed benefits given
40 those who determine the fate of tomorrow’s political prisoner — our hildren.

In this Life you need moce than encoueaging words

e all need our spirits 1ifted fran tine - to - time.

Bt the more you rely on others for encouragemet., the

California launched a "secret mission" to swep

some of it's muscle relaxant for vials of Arizona's
sodium thiopental in 2010. A tean of California
guards, picking up "the packace" From Arizona,
shuttled it North on Interstate 5, handing it of €

in the San Joaauin Valley to a second team that

took it to San Quentin's death row. Scott Yernan,
then a California's prison official, exulted over
the trip's success in an e-mail that bhecame grist
for comedy central's... Colbert Report: "You euvs

Stand

Take a real stand! Take a stand not for religion,
for it kills with an obligation, but take a spiritual
stand. If, we embrace a fruitful relationship with
the heavenly father, it shall enable us to have
compassion for those deemed as sinners.

Ve are acquiescence to God's plan only because we
have been shown his abilities through our mental state
of prayer, meditation, faith... slowing down our minds
and opening our ear, to his teachings. God's plan for
us, vas established well-before the exit of our mother's
womb. Wake Up!

Elders, use your mature third leg of wisdom to save
our lost youth. Share with them the many life treasures
and the very love that God has revealed to you, as this
became your foundation. Speak to them and not at them,
for its the key to a message being receptive. Respect
their fragile minds, and we shall uncover their needs,
wants, desires and appetites... for knowledge, love,
and guidance. Cherish any/all trust, because the First
hint of deceit, insincerity, or untruthfulness, could
be detrimental .

Gureh isn't a playground, fashion ‘show, to meck, or
hide your shame. Stand Up! Lead the way, with the spirits
of Moses, Joshua, and John The Baptist... a walk on the
red carpet of glory, that leals to the second coming of,
salvation.

Cross over to where the grass is greener and our 187's
are washed avay, by the blood of the lamb. Fight-the-
good-Fight of faith, for it's finished. Fmbrace the
grace and power, for iron sharpens iron... stop, the
destruction and extermination of our younger generation,
by sharing the deepest/greatest testimony, that victory
is ours. Ve don't have to die alone!

Discern the time and people, be watchful and pray for
the mercy seat of judgment. It shall be a day of joy to
hear, "well done my good and faithful servant,” or it can
be a'day of gnashing teeth, with regret and shame. Endure
and stand, putting on the armor of God. Peace be with you,
till we see the "New Jerusalem. Lets Stand! Acts 4:9-10.

Those who profess to favor
frecdom, and yet deprecate
agitation, are men who want
crops without plowing up the
ground. They want rain with-
out thunder and lightning: they
want the ocean without the
roar of its many waters. The
struggle may be a moral one,
or it may be a physical one, or
it may be both. But it must be
a struggle. Power concedes
nothing without a demand; it
never has and it never will
