So they called them and commanded them not
to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

The winter's first real snowfall began this morning...
to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
Acts 4:18
The winter's first real snowfall began this morning...
Several days ago there were flurries along with a blustery wind. Now, however, large, fat snowflakes have been spiraling downwards from the sky. But it is still too early for the snow to stay on the ground for very long.
Something else, however, happened today that wasn't as nice as the snowfall, which lasted for a few hours and then stopped. I was issued a Misbehavior Report for rule violation 113.15 ("Unauthorized Exchange").
At approximately 8:20 this morning, while I was working, the cell block officer approached me and told me that someone had called for me from the Disciplinary Office. That I had to report there immediately. I had no idea what this was about, as I was not conscious of breaking any rule.
When I then entered the Disciplinary area, a guard showed me a report that had been filed against me the day before. I had to sign for my copy of the report so that I could review it; it's the procedure.
I was surprised to read that on November 11, at Approximately "1620 hours" (4:20 p.m.), I was written up by Correction Officer "G" for the following:
"On the above date & time, while packing cell EN #...(inmate's name was given), I found a
prayer book with writing on the inside cover indicating it belongs to David Berkowitz."
The Misbehavior Report also mentioned that the "book" that was seized as "contraband"
was given an identification number in the prison's Evidence Log. Once logged, I know it was
placed in storage and under lock and key in an Evidence Locker, where it will remain until
the day my disciplinary hearing is conducted.
I was given a Tier 11 level "walking ticket." This is considered to be a serious level. But the lieutenant in charge of the Disciplinary Office did not deem it necessary for me to be confined to my cell until the hearing is held.
So I am not under any restrictions. I could go about my business, and I could continue to attend the chapel's services and Bible studies. However, within the next two weeks I will have to appear before a lieutenant to answer for this rule violation.
But I am very surprised that anyone would actually write up an inmate for giving another inmate a book about prayer. I know that the inmate, mentioned in the report in whose cell the book in question was found, is someone I have been sharing my faith with. He's an emotionally troubled individual, too.
Only the Lord knows what will become of this report and the future disciplinary hearing. It is alleged that I gave this man a book. I didn't give him a bomb.
