Letters from Carlo Parlanti

Dear sweet Valerie,
yesterday they clamped my draining tube again to check for air licks and it looks like the air is gone. So this morning, after some x rays the lung specialist come to take the tube off. Fortunately this procedure has involved a lot less pain than putting it in: they took away a couple of stitches, had me breathe out, and voilà! The tube was out with just a little bit of pain to the chest. The lungs expert says that tomorrow they’ll do another x ray (I am trying to get on the guinness of records: and if every thing is fine they’ll ship me back to my preferred hell: wasco!).
I don’t know if it has been a good idea to forfait the surgery but for sure it would have been horrible with the way they treat me here!
Let me explain with an example: after taking out the tube I had to take a shower (they didn’t let me 2 days ago) and the expert told the nurse to let me go and change the dressing after ward because it would get wet for sure!
This happened this morning immediately after breakfast! Well, I pressed the buzzer and explained that the dressing was “gone”, I asked the guards and the nurses, before lunch during and after, I only got a new dressing now that is almost dinner but there’s even more: I realised that they forgot one stitch and the nurse couldn’t find the surgical scissor so she told me she'll take it off later…
Wanna bet that I will carry it with me to Wasco?
During a brief chat with a guard, today, one that has been left curious by my web site, she inadvertently admitted that she checked my charges (and they should never do it) and that she considered me a “pig”, obviously before reading more about me!
This is what sometimes I try to explain to everybody, this for me is not simply “prison”: the guards here are trained to make people suffer, not to “correct and rehabilitate” the more when it comes to vicious criminals like rapists or child molesters, exactly like me.
I will try to write down the details of this little “chat” to Katia to see if it may help to let people finally understand the situation in which I am, and may be also help to push for some kind of solution to get me transferred to a decent place or at least to let “politically” know to these torturers that I am innocent!!!
I guess I am also a little bit scared about going to Wasco where I’ve been
assaulted 2 times in just 6 months and where I spent so many desperate days
like the one stuck with the bipolar lunatic…. remember him?
I hope you’ll come to visit soon but if you can’t don’t worry too much …. I’ll write you as soon as I can (if they give me the envelops I had left in Ventura) and you, please, do the same and send me some paper, envelopes and stamps.
Try to see if you can print out some updates from Katia 2 the web on pictures, investigation and press conference and remind Katia I need book and a little bit of money for coffee and shower shoes (you should see the filt there).
Love you.
Carlo
