I have layed in my bed and heard my friend being raped by his celly. Base upon the fact that his cell is right over top of mines, one could hear very good....I am so afraid to go to general population....Sexually assaulted here in Tehachapi reception center....Mental brake down from my pas[t] encounter of being sexually assaulted some time ago in County Jail. Yes, I did inform these people here upon my arrival about my...sexual abuse history and I begged Dr. Haskett and this Institution not to put me in a cell with a Black inmate or in general population. But they just calls me names and put me in general pop. any. And I got raped again.

I jest have been release from the medical ward after a 9 day stay for attemp suicide after being Brought and sold by inmates in this Institution that runs this Prison.

I then pleaded my Case informing CC II S. Morgan to take my medical file in account where it state that I had been rap at the Institution where I jest came from and that this Institution is indeed a much more ruffer prison him and I both know what I would incounter. He then reply he had no concern to that fact. The next day I was moved to Building III in to a cell with one of the Bi[g] shots, and was told that he paid for me to be move into his cell and he would look out for me if I sex him up from time to time.....I told he that I was not with that, needless to say what he tryed to do to me that night...you wouldn't believe! Anyway I told God that I would rather die than be abuse again....I want to file suit on Dr. Haskett. He the cause of it all.

I have been sold into Sexual Slavery to some Big Person. it seem's like these People really has it out for me because of our suiting [filing suit against] Dr. Haskett + the Warden of Tehachapi....God no one would believe unless they are living in it. S.O.S.

I am in prison for alledgially commiting...burglurly. I was sentenced to 11 years for a crime that was never committed. I was sent from county jail to Teyhachipi State Prison, where I was viciously beaten that night by the person I was placed in a cell with afterwards I was forced to preform oral capulation on him. The next day I reported the abuse to five correctional officers within a piriod of eighteen hours, and only one choose to take note....I was sent to see a psychiatrist by the name of Dr. Haskett who told me that my being sexually assulted was my fault because I did not give myself freely....I had parolled a year ago from a medical facility, because of a mental break-down I had suffered from, after being brutally raped in the county jail befor, the first time I was sent to prison.

[Upon transfer to Calipatria] I plead...to place me in a single cell because of my constant abuse by inmates. I was laught at...and I was placed in a cell with some gorilla who was three times my size, and turned out to be the biggest drug dealing in the institution. He informed me that he paid for me to be placed in his cell. And for the duration on my prison confinedment, I would be his sex slave....Need less to say what took place that night. Then and their I made up my mind. Befor I be abused again, I'd rather die. The next day I sought out to committ suicide. Unfortunately I dident succeed.

The answer...to take one of these many prison and turn it into a facility for people with a meek & humble nature, lite crimes and gays with a non violent nature....The high amount of drug trafficking has increased the numbers of inmate prisoners who is being killed, raped, and mentally destroyed on a daily base. We're not only talking about death of a pysical form, but we are also talking about the astronomical degrees of death of the mind, death of the spirit, death of the will to grow as human beings.
