    hesitate in doing anything to get out. He said selfishness in

    prison was.the best policy --that, after all, a manonly hasrone

    life to live and no one wants to spend that life injail. He said

    hell, Jackson or anybody would do anything to obtain their.

    -liberty. He accused me of being brainwashed, confused and emo-

    tional for thinking thatthey were out to kill me --that if that

    was the case, they would haveneverchosen me and given me the

    opportunity to get out free. He said hehad to go through a lot

    of troublewith higher authorities, convincing them that I shouldA; . .Y. I

    -be granted aparole because mymother needs me, thatis if

    testified. Then, he went on to explain that if I refused, I

    would never see the streets again and if I thought I have expe-

    rienced alot, that Iwas just beginning. He assured me atrans-

    fer to either Chino, C.M.C.B.or Tehachipirightaway'andthen

    I wouldgo to trial, testify and before Christmas, I'llbehome.

    He said, incase I feared Jackson;might wantto hurt mewhenhe

    got out, that I could be sent to Nicaragua {myland of birth!

    withmoney and high recommendations. He said I'mnot theonly

    one to beoffered good things, that thereare others. He went on

    for alittle whilealong the same lines. After he had finished,

    I told him I didn'tneed his kind of freedom, I wasn'tgoingto

    testify and lie against anybody and to never confront me with

    absurdities like that again. He said I spoke that way because I

    was sure to beat the present case I was fighting in Sacramento,

    along with 8other brothers. Hesaid I forgets who runs the

    joints and who don't.He said I would pay for my stubborness.
