the florida department of education a certified cosmetologists by the florida department of education i have a diploma with hands on experience in gardening landscaping and a diploma with highest honors in hotel restaurant management i have just recently completed a yearlong faith character program and i am a computer technician in the program at 42 years old i have learned the value of life i m clean sober and productive i keep a clear record because i chose to live a better life where even in here it is very easy to get in trouble i have all the skills to be a productive citizen in society yet 20 years ago i was a principle so florida says there is no second chance where is the justice in that my name is marianne star blake i have been given a life sentence with no chance of parole i have never been arrested in my life i was 26 in 2012 at the time of the crime i had my own house was about to start a new job the next day with two beautiful bright children and a drug addiction at 4 years old i was sexually molested by the man my mother would eventually marry a year later during the ages of 4 7 he became physically abusive to all three of my brothers and myself my mother had a daughter with him as well but at the age of 5 i told my mom what was going on and what was going on and the church she attended did a prayer circle and called me a liar two years later i told my brother when we were home sick from school he said go tell mom you gotta tell her i remember saying that i did and she didn t do anything i came home from school the next day and he was gone that man only got 6 months in jail for a lesser charge of lude and lascivious behaviors for the two minors me and my brother that charge and sentence was the same county i got sentenced in i was in and out of counseling physical abuse was still relevant because there was 5 children and just my mother who was the only provider the same church that called me a liar and picked me up on the bus just never came anymore i remember being the only one dressed for church that day and the bus never came at thirteen i skipped school to have friends because i was not allowed out of the house i had to be home to take care of my little brother cook clean watch the house all while mom was at work i was practically made the mother to my younger brother and sister and not only that my mentally handicapped brother needed me too during this time i found out my real father had died when i was one i became depressed suicidal and i started cutting myself my mother then put me in a mental facility and they said i was just looking for attention to me that was a slap in the face i was sexually assaulted at 14 the first year in high school in front of the class room in the hall i ran home crying when only one person stood up for me and the other students said i asked for it he was sentenced to classes for offenders i had to switch schools because the kids ridiculed me and made fun of me and would say they didn t want to touch me i did graduate high school but with major difficulties i was medicated and had anxiety attacks so for 6 months of high school i took classes over the phone after the incident i found once i acclimated and stopped hating myself pretended to be cool i found the greatest friends i created a distorted figure of myself though at each twist and turn men were still trying to get me like i was a piece of meat i graduated and started doing drugs it went from drinking to smoking pot at parties till nobody parties anymore then i was left alone with this mental struggle i couldn t be alone with myself i knew no other way my mother never taught me character she never taught me to do make up or what a woman of integrity was growing up men were in and out of our home i did not know what stable was i was not mentally stable my drug use went to cocaine at 19 years old and when i had my son at 21 i swore that i would stop but post partum set in and i was popping xanax to be okay lortabs to have energy xanax to take away the worry i was afraid someone would hurt him i wouldn t even let him crawl on the floor if it looked dirty when i started working i remember walking a mile home because the father of my kids wouldn t answer the phone i thought he left with my son that i just walked out of my job by then i was taking ecstasy to feel better i got pregnant again and knew that i was scared half to death we were living with someone else practically homeless on drugs so i wanted to give the baby up for adoption but we kept her she was a girl i didn t go to the doctor because i was in denial but at delivery we found out the baby was a girl the father of my kids had to coax to hold her because i wouldn t i was afraid because it was real i wouldn t breast feed because when my son was born he stopped breathing and had to be resuscitated while i was holding him he caught an infection at birth i say my new born son s body turn blue at 23 i was a stay at home mom we had a home he had a job and was gone from 6 am to 6 pm finances were hard and i was still struggling with addition they put me on anti depressants but they didn t help i started cutting my hair and cutting myself questioning what was going to happen to my children when i couldn t be there at this point my sons 1 1 2 and my daughters 5 or 6 months the father of my kids and i argued all the time because he says it s all in my head there s nothing wrong with me he says i hated myself that first victimization still followed me i was afraid for my children my future that i wasn t enough i was secluded in that home alone with each and every thought and i snapped verbal arguments went physical fast we began throwing things and breaking things in anger i was back handed and flew off the porch into a seizure because i hit my head on the rocks after that i took my children and left i myself up mentally and it became reality i did not know what love was i didn t know why i couldn t stop using drugs i just wanted to be happy and didn t know how i just didn t know how i got pregnant again at 24 by the same man i chose to give him up for adoption i started working to keep him and take care of myself and my other two i had a great job when i was 3 months pregnant but once again i was sexually assaulted the police were called the next day nothing was done because the other men there said it never happened at birth of my son i lost a piece of me i was sober but couldn t stay sober i was a failure no one would help me my mother kicked me out at 6 months pregnant at 26 my crime was committed my co defendant was 19 he was spending the night because i was afraid of the drug dealer coming back because he kept showing up at my home i was smoking crack that weekend but that night i was asleep in my bed when at 3 30 am there was a rattling at my back door prior to my last mental facility visit in july 2011 i was diagnosed with ptsd major depressive disorder and borderline personality my borderline personality was documented at the age of 13 my ptsd was documented at 24 and major re occurring depressive at 25 but i was always since my first counsel visit labeled depressed basic depression since i was 12 people don t understand why women do the things we do or how we ended up with the company we kept three out of four girls are sexually molested and one in three boys that i s the statistics of our society yet they continue to allow these victimizers a chance after chance the dominoes effect of fear hurt self hate that dirty little secret has had major effects on all the people involved that fear has a child followed me my whole life in the drug use i found myself numb the pain was too much to bear alone in my incarceration i ve found comfort forgiveness peace integrity character self worth and i know god doesn t intend these prisons to be what the judicial system has made them in my case i was in the other room when the murder was committed rocking back il forth with my daughter in my arms in for and shock i called the police i did not know he was dead till i was on the phone with police testimony from the officer states i was in shock upon arrival but none of these are mitigating factors in the systems eye s but what about the people s eyes what about truth fairness and justice what about the independent act that rebuttal to the principle theory that the courts undermine and toss aside to get convictions enough corruption women die each day inexcusably unexplainably and it s swept aside all for the sake of the dollar there is no justification as to why women come to prison and have to die we understand that some mistakes cannot be corrected but why not correct the person who made the mistake with a

problem leave a comment high court test of surveillance law could be ahead posted on december 12 2013 by kcwalpole about time in a court filing friday the government said it intends to offer into evidence in muhtorov s case information obtained or derived from acquisition of foreign intelligence information conducted pursuant to the foreign intelligence surveillance act of 1978 last february a sharply divided supreme court ruled in a 5 4 vote that a group of american lawyers journalists and organizations could not sue to challenge the 2008 expansion of the law the court those who sued could not show that the government would monitor their communications along with those of potential foreign terrorist and intelligence targets last month supreme court justice antonin scalia who had ruled with the majority in the earlier 5 4 decision said the courts ultimately would have to determine the legality of the nsa surveillance program high court test of surveillance law could be ahead posted in politics the problem leave a comment obamacare s medicaid expansion may lower prison costs study posted on december 12 2013 by kcwalpole talk about taking the cost emphasis out of prison reform makes ya wonder just how many hands were in the pie that wrote the affordable care act i talked to one congressman in office at the time and he said there was no way to know what was in the act they were voting on nancy pelosi when asked if she knew what was in the act said no but we will vote to pass it and find out what is in it the report examined four ways that states respond to increasing costs the methods include telehealth which uses video conferencing between an off site doctor and a prisoner outsourcing care granting elderly or infirm inmates early parole and expanding medicaid coverage and then there is this by definition those state prisoners in state facilities are the obligation of the state and that obligation should not be transferred to the federal government i think most people would come down on the side that medicaid was never intended to pay for the medical care of people in state custody smith said it s a very significant issue for the federal budget and congress better close that loophole quickly obamacare s medicaid expansion may lower prison costs study posted in prison and jails leave a comment curbing antibiotics on farms taking too long posted on december 12 2013 by kcwalpole this is good case in point on the cold hearted bottom line taking precedent routine use of antibiotics makes some bacteria stronger and resistant to treatment when those hardier bugs infect a person antibiotics might no longer work last month federal officials quantified that danger at least 23 000 people die from antibiotic resistant bacteria each year according to the centers for disease control and prevention cdc which said that s a conservative figure that s why smart doctors resist prescribing antibiotics for every minor ailment then there is the dollars the agriculture industry maintains that the connection is murky between antibiotic use in animals and drug resistance in people on the other side of the debate is a long list of scientists public health officials and veterinarians whose views carry more sense and less self interest in 2011 alone 1 9 million pounds of penicillins and 12 3 million pounds of tetracyclines were sold for use in food animals it s hard to believe that wouldn t have an effect and this the power of excessive profits in a democratic society but neither congress nor the fda has acted to curtail the broad dangers the well financed agriculture industry has won most rounds and regulators have dragged their feet curbing antibiotics on farms taking too long now we have some numbers to hand our hat on few blessings of modern science are entirely unmixed and so it is with the development of powerful synthetic or semi synthetic opioid analgesics painkillers such as fentanyl and hydrocodone prescribed by the tens of millions in recent years for their power to relieve otherwise crippling pain in the victims of disease and injury these pills have turned into a 7 3 billion per year business yet they also pose a major public health risk because of their ready availability and addictiveness to many patients fda seeks to curb abuse of prescription painkillers posted in addictions corruption politics
