Larry’s Story

I am an old Kentucky ridge runner. I was born in a pick-up truck on the side of the highway. My father, Robert Lee Harris, was a moonshiner. My family line goes back to the Cherokee and English who built this great country. I grew up in a dysfunctional family and was sent to foster homes and Chaddock Boys School. It is the trip to Chaddock that landed me in Quincy, Illinois. It is the Quincy courts that sent me to the big house.

The first time I went to prison, I was guilty as hell. Continue reading “Larry’s Story”

Body Worn Cameras Police

Body Camera Legislation

In the year of 2022, several correctional officers beat an elderly prisoner to death at the Western Illinois Correctional Center. This is located in Mt. Sterling, Illinois. You can look up the story on line.

With a growing push for legislation to require the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) staff to wear daily body cameras, I bring you this scenario. This to protect the IDOC prisoners from further civil rights violations.

Level System Still in Place

The cancer treatment is going well. On the 28th of September I was given a complete cat scan of my body. The good news finally came. I caught a break. The cancer has not spread to any other part of me.

Soon I will go out to get the two spots on my liver removed. Then I will finally be cancer free. A long three years of real hell-on-earth there. I beat the colon cancer. My body is finally healing up and starting to work right again. So at sixty-three years of age I am a lean and mean, ready to go another round with the Grim Reaper, not ready just yet to go quietly into that dark night.

So now I can focus again on my prison reform efforts. The website freerockynation.org is a prison platform for all U.S. Citizens, and our foreign neighbors.

I was schedule for a liver biopsy on July 20th, 2022. But when I was placed in the catscan, and the procedure started, the spots had shrunk down to so small the biopsy was stopped.

Soy Diet Colon Cancer

Common Sense is Not So Common

From 2008 until April of 2016, I received a medical No-Soy diet. The IDOC industry meat substitutes made me sick. I proved this up. In 2016, my diet was denied. Danville C.C.’s staff saw that the other prisoners wanted the same medical diet I was given. The Health Care Unit administrator in the Danville Correctional Center saw their requests as a problem. The answer was to stop MY diet, and possibly silence the other prisoners. I was told I could eat the soy-laden prison food.

Commissary Victory

In the Illinois Department of Corrections, the prisoner is given nothing.

The prisoner must buy his envelopes to write to his family. He must buy the pen and paper. He must buy all the cosmetics to keep his body clean: body soap, laundry soap, razors, shampoo. 

Nothing is given to the prisoner anymore. He must buy the batteries to run his electronics. He must buy a tablet to get the message systems with his family. He must buy minutes on the phone to talk to his family.
