Free To Live Or Die: That's my idea of a slogan for Hospice of Ukiah. I have been a Hospice of Ukiah client for seven years; first as I was about to die from two incurable cancers and then, when for reasons known only the Creator, I didn't.
I'm writing today from my own little slice of hell, from the belly of the beast, from inside the walls of our so-called justice system. I'm about to enter my fourth year of confinement on a six-year sentence.
