24th October 2007Dear Sweet Valerie,

As you can see I am again in my preferred hell and unfortunately things are not going really well at all :(

I am sorry I didn’t write sooner but I had no writing material at all when I got here on the 25th, the only thing I had with me was a letter I wrote for Enrica at the consulate and that Mercy’s personnel suggested me to post from here so it would leave Friday instead of tomorrow ( Monday ); so I added some explanations for her and asked her to fore ward them to you and Katia to alert both of you.
But let me tell you about this latest misery of mine…Thursday the 25th they discharged me from Mercy ordering me a follow up CT scan in 8 weeks (December 25th); they put me in a paper jump suit with grey socks and they took me to Wasco shoeless and in shackles! I got here at 2pm and waited until 5 to talk with a Doctor and update him on my status. After that they took me here in facility B, building 1 (A -217L) but without finishing the receiving procedure they started on the 10th before sending me to Mercy: They didn’t give me clothes or linens or shoes and to my dismay none of my poor properties from Ventura ( the bible and envelopes, stamps, paper and pencils to write you :( ). As I told Enrica I was hoping to be taken to R&R to get it all the following day but all I got the following day was one towel to shower…I agree that rapists deserve to walk around shoeless in paper jumpsuit and sleep in bare mattress but I was hoping to get lucky :(. After 3 days (yesterday) a nicer guard, moved to pity gave me some clothes and linens but still no shoes or properties; today it’s all closed in R&R (Sunday) so I’ll try again tomorrow ( 5th day :( ).
The only “Good Thing” is that the same nice guard told me I am in “layover” status and in this period people get shipped to the final destination in anything between 2 and 3 weeks….it’s a long time shoeless and without being able to even write you but it’s better than 6 months! My “celly” is a portorican transgender called “Nicole” and I’m using his paper, envelope and pensil ( I’m also reading one of his books :( ). Unfortunately he’s indigent so I’m not gonna be able to borrow more and I’ll have to wait for you and Katia to help me before being able to write again: can you send me paper, envelopes and stamps like you use to ( I also asked Enrica btw) ? If Katia can send me money by the 31st I can fill in a ducat on the 1st and shop on the 9th, but maybe by then I’ll be 1 or 2 week from living…for sure I need something to read, so please tell Katia to buy me something ( I’ll write her too, but pls tell her). Maybe she can include “Cry to Heaven” by Anne Rice so I’ll donate it to “Nicole” when I leave to thank him, ops, THANK ‘HER’ :). All in all I’m miserable, I still have bruises from the ankelcuffs chaining me to the bed, my hands shake like and hold man with Parkinson ( and shoeless :( ) And I am to know about the pictures analysis, police and FBI investigation ( death treath and “documents”) And press conference :( please send me info :(

Love,
Carlo

PS = Please send also this to Katia so it can be posted also English for people to know what I am going through!!
