Lisa Y.
Lisa is a Chinese-American I met while in the Oakland County Jail. She would end up there when she didn't show up for her court ordered, monthly shot. You see, Lisa is bipolar. She would often get arrested while in a manic phase of her illness. She told me several stories about her antics in Lake Orion. One time, she stopped her car in the middle of the road and refused to move, until her then boyfriend got out. She was a complete mess. She even harassed an old woman one night she was in a manic fit. It was too much for Lake Orion to take and a judge ordered her to get a shot that she couldn't stop taking and/or forget to take. If she didn't show for her appointment, the Lake Orion Police would show up at her door and take her to jail to get it.
The only thing I didn't understand at the time is why they brought her to OCJ and not to the outpatient clinic where she got her shot. Why did she have to be arrested and put in jail evry time she missed her shot. After I figured out the deputies were selling inmates, I understood why. People in a manic phase of their illness have a hyper sexdrive, too. So Lisa came to OCJ very horny. Once she asked me what I did for sex in my cell, since I was alone. I explained that I didn't do anything. She straddled her seat at her desk, cupped her breast and showed me how she satisfied herself. I laughed, but now I think it's sad.
Lisa had been a freshman at the University of Michigan when her illness took hold of her life. The women she lived with saw that she was a bit strange and started complaining about her behavior, until her brother had to come get her. She says that it was due to her being outgoing, something that is not expected of a Chinese person in society. She said she just didn't fit the norm. Lisa is very smart. I almost believed her, until the day she had a full blown psychotic break through the night. I went to her cell to talk and saw a whole other person from the one she was the day before. She began to yell at me and lose control. I was so shocked and couldn't believe her demeanor and actions could change so quickly, but they had. I asked her in a calm tone, "Are you alright?" She spit at me and it landed on the glass. She screamed at me in a vicious manner said, "Get away from me you Nigger!" I backed away and went to sit on the couch to watch television. I had never seen such a dramatic change in a person before.
She spent a lot of her life in mental institutions in Southeast Michigan. She had told me that all the rumors about the State Hospital Clinton Valley were true. The rumors about the staff having sex with patients and the tunnels beneath the hospital, where all this was suppose to take place were not a myth. It was all true and she had taken part in the mahiem. as a young woman. Lisa was about 40-years old when we met in OCJ. She had been in the system being sexually abused for over 20 years. She would swear it wasn't abuse and something she wanted to do, but she didn't realize those people had an obligation to look after her well-being and not use her for their own sexual needs. Now, she was being used at the Oakland County Jail. She was having sex for Hungry Howie's bread sticks that were said to be the best.
She was always placed in the three main spots for prostitution. That was cell 1, 6 and 8. She never went upstairs to live, because they always wanted access to her. She was very beautiful and resembled a doll. She was really nasty however, and had created a tough exterior in order to survive her adventures in jail and whatever else she had been through in the years since her diagnosis. I came to realize through my own journeys that the mentally ill in Michigan were nothing but chattle to be used at the whime of those in charge of them. People like Lisa are left to muttle through a life filled with abuse and little reward. The sad part is they don't even know or understand. Lisa would often stand in her door and sing, "Ah, me so horny! Me love you long time!" It would be funny, but she couldn't sign. But she knew her worth in the jail. She was a man's fantasy from Full Metal Jacketand the Too Live Crew's hit song. And that's why the Lake Orion Police brought her to jail and didn't take her to the out-patient clinic. Sex...

Murderers are Freed in OCJ

Released: Not so Fast!
Jimmy Rolan |
Yesterday, while at work, there was a man peering at me through my coworker's partition. He looked just like the man that raped me 35-years ago. I thought to myself, "What's going on?" They usually do that kind of fear-mongering when what I say or do is some sort of threat. I was at work, and what could I possibly be doing to disrupt their prostitution racket. When I got home, I turned on the news first thing, and there it was. A man who had shot another man eight times had been released and the charges dropped on his Attempted-Murder and Firearm charge. I sat on my couch and giggled to myself. I had been to jail four other times and had seen worse cases and dangerous people go free, after selling themselves in the jail's clinic. This time, however, Jessica Cooper or David Gorcyca isn't in charge of the Prosecutor's Office. There is a new Sheriff in town, pun intended, and Karen McDonald's lynch-men aren't letting dangerous criminals walk free. There had been a manhunt soon after he was released, charges reinstated and he was recaptured in less than 24-hours. My giggle turned into a full-blown chuckle. I hate to say it, but I told you so!
When I was in jail, there was a woman there named Starr. Starr had killed a man. Not on purpose, but while shooting him up with heroin. He was her friend, and she had no idea the fix in the needle was too potent for him and he overdosed and died right in front of her. She was arrested and brought to jail because that is a crime. Many want to change that law, but it is still a fact. In 2010, it was more of a fact than it is today. Many courts with the opioid epidemic have become lenient, but in 2010, it was some kind of murder. It probably wasn't what they made it seem like to Starr because she had started to blossom. She was no longer the heroin-addicted inmate with sunken cheeks and face sores. She was eating and her daily food intake had her filling out in all the right places. She was suddenly attractive and still able and willing to make their money. She had blond hair and green eyes and a butt like a black girl, with thick legs and a smile that could kill. When people like Starr came in she was the talk of the jail. Many of the women envied her, because her kind of looks got her not only a spot in the Trustee pod, but Hot Food, twice a week and all the commissary she could eat. She brought my breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I was fascinated by her popularity and her ability to brush it off. Then I discover her case and knew her sadness inside. No matter how much food and attention she got, her friend was still dead.
She had shown me her wristband with her original photo, and it was a different person. The woman in front of me was a true star. The woman on her wrist was a drug addict of the worst kind. She said she looked at it every day as a reminder of how far she had come. That's where she had lost me because she really hadn't come that far. She had only come as far as jail/ They had decided not to give her drugs because they still get high in jail. It was more beneficial to keep Starr sober. She didn't equate her sober living to being locked up. She felt she was in the real world, but I knew it was a world created by a false narrative of prostitution. Many of the women had never been treated so well. As long as they did what was required of them they lived a good existence. Once they stepped out of bound there easy living ceased. Starr ended up in prison for six years. At least that's what the women had said. I hope she spent that time getting better for real.

The man that they let go of yesterday, had an entire month to get comfortable in the fallacy that he was going free. He is a very handsome man. Almost looks like a woman. The deputies will give a prostitute the feeling of euphoria to keep them making them money. This man shot another man eight times. His intent was to kill. A man like that should never go free, at least not without punishment. There is no doubt in my mind that the guy is a prostitute, If he isn't going free, they will try to get him a lighter sentence. He had been locked up a month, and they thought everyone had forgotten about him. That's why I say, we can't ever let go of these horrific crimes. Those deputies look to detectives to get so caught up in the work that they leave prosecution to the administration. One young woman had asked me why her detective comes to every one of her hearings. I simply told her, "He wants to see you get what's coming to you." She had robbed three people in one night at gunpoint. She needed to go to prison for some period of time. She had disappeared every morning, too. She claimed she was going to court every morning. Right...
The judge who can't comment. Well, who won't comment is a pimping judge. They control them not only in the circuit court but the district courts, too. She did what she was told to do. The last time something like this happened, a woman and her two children were murdered. Things like this never happen in "normal" conditions. There is a tearing apart of justice in Oakland county. It was evident to me when Tucker Cipriano got out of Oakland County Jail four months early and tried to kill his entire family with a baseball bat. He succeeded on two counts and left his father disabled for life. This is the Oakland County I know. I saw yesterday that it will slowly become the Oakland County of the past. I pray that Karen McDonald can catch every one of these instances. I know I'm here for it. People who endanger our society should not be allowed to walk free. At the same time a young woman who commits petty crimes should not be locked up and forced to sell herself to get home. It's Christmas money time. Those deputies are looking to fill the jail with inmates willing to work off crimes to get the deputy's child a bike. We need to start saying, "Enough!"
