After years of vicious beatings from her husband, Jesse's only way out of constant mental and physical abuse is to pour gasoline on her sleeping spouse and light a match. Narrowly escaping the death penalty for her crime, Jesse is committed to an institution for the insane. Padded Walls is the gripping story of one woman's search for redemption, sanity, and peace in a lifetime of cruelty and terror. Instead of becoming restored and rehabilitated through therapy, Jesse is haunted by the memory of her husband's final, excruciating moments as he burned to death. Depressed and hopeless, Jesse tries to escape to a new life, far from the baggage of her tormented past. Filled with a cast of crazed yet fascinating characters, Padded Walls takes us into the mind and emotions of a battered woman struggling to reclaim her life and recreate herself within the world of the mentally ill and make sense of the brutal past that drove her there. It isn't long before even Jesse is unsure whether the murder of her husband was self-defense or she has indeed lost her mind. Padded Walls leads us to a spellbinding conclusion as Jesse frantically searches for the key to unlock the truth and free herself once and for all.
My Califa’s Rehab Rangers booking number is YA-65544; I will never forget it. This is a first-hand narration of growing in the 1980’s and 1990’s around criminally infested streets of Los Diablos County, Califas. This autobiography describes a gang initiation, drug involvement, and twenty years of arrests for various low-level non-violent crimes. It is an adventurous entourage through police precincts and juvenile hall institutions leading to Los Diablos’ dreadful Twin Titans Corrective Facilities, including Califa’s Rehab Rangers. Eventually, we will visit the ever-controversial Immigration and Child Endowments’ holding camps tossing out legal and illegal immigrants with lifetime deportations ignoring all American-raised families. Part memoir, part inspiration—total human institutionalization and dehumanization, uncut. In addition, we will explore human life complexities within today’s state-of-the-art prisons and we will see men coping for survival with only their essential necessities to strive. Moreover, questions will abound about our innate free will, that is, are we indeed free from Big Brother? Is the separation of migrant families legal? This story may also serve as an academic reference to our technical legality of incarceration—and once inside, what are our constitutions protecting prisoners’ rights, or should they have any legal protections whatsoever. Indeed, we are forever cognizant that not everything under our sun is a ray of hope for every man; therefore, our daily challenge is to withhold those glorious constitutions that grant us universal liberty of choice. At our day’s end, literature is mind’s liberty.
