Iām curious, with so much time in jail and so much ongoing litigation, how do you make money to cover food & shelter? Do you have children or do you find this activism gets in the way of that kind of lifestyle?

I don't. I get my food from food pantries, and a friend has given me temporary shelter. Luckily I have no children, which is a huge blessing I thought about often during my decade locked up. I would have hated to leave children behind, especially as jail visits can often be close to non-existent and the phones were too expensive and too difficult to access.

are you saying that "well cooked" food means "hot meal"?

That is my interpretation, essentially. We were given no cooked food for two of the three meals. One was peanut butter and two slices of bread, and the other was a slice of cold meat and two slices of bread. While you could say that the bread was "well cooked", that clearly isn't the intention of the law.
You also reminded me that I never heard back from any of the misconduct investigations I started against the various officers. I will FOIA now and update. There was one incident where I was walking out of jail and two officers from another jurisdiction, operating outside of their legal authority, cuffed me up, without any arrest warrant and put me in jail and I was held for over three years on that one alone. I want to see what the reports on that one say. I also filed one against the sheriff as I found an old law which says it is a crime if the sheriff does not provide detainees with three hot meals a day, and yet we only got one a day. It is literally a crime. But how do you report a police officer committing a crime? It is practically impossible, especially when he is the guy in charge.
