After
10 hard years of SWAT
busts, beatings, and
a long burial in the
federal system, Sam finally
got to go to camp. He
was transferred from
Wackenhut Private Prison
in California to a Federal
Prison Camp at Nellis
Air Force Base in Nevada.
Nellis was a criminal
superstar’s haven.
Sam met the last of the
savings and loan boys,
the telemarketing stars,
the tele-evangelists
and the tell’em
everything-you-knows.
But he had a lot of old
smuggler buddies that
got to finish the last
of their sentences in
sunny Las Vegas.
Every
prison yard Sam hit both
guards and inmates
had heard of him and
that automatically put
him at odds with the “break
em” mentality.
A reputation, good or
bad, can get you killed
in the joint and he was
high profile whether
he liked it or not.

He
was eventually
sent
to a
Residential
Drug
Abuse
Program
(RDAP)
to knock
18 months
of his
8-year
sentence.
His federal
prison
transit
history
reads
like
the ransom
of Red
Chief.
Every
warden
in the
federal
prison
system
had been
warned
about
what
Sam did
to Big
Mike
(the
warden)
at Safford
Federal
Prison.
Sam was
not afraid
to file
charges
even
if it
meant
an ass
kicking
and getting
thrown
in the
hole.
Sam
remembered his lessons
at Terminal Island
Federal Prison 25
years earlier---integrity,
honesty and good
mental and physical
condition is the
key to survival in
prison. Sam left
a trail of paper
behind him while
he was in “diesel
therapy”. The
more they tried to
break him the more
efficient he became
at surviving and
the more the legend
of Sam Hemp grew.
The
Long Fought, Failed
and Forgotten
Drug War:
President
Nixon declared this
civil war on his
own people in 1971
and nothing has done
more to divide and
destroy this nation.
This failed war goes
unmentioned by our
presidential candidates
that have promoted
it to the bitter
end. This long “drug
war” now sponsors
and funds the international
terrorism, street
gangs, violence,
crime and political
divisions that plague
us. Illegal immigration,
gangs, violence,
addiction, racism,
poverty and overcrowding
are symptoms. The
bigger picture is
that these corporate
drug warriors are
seizing and swallowing
up large tracks of
land (internationally)
in the name of this
drug war. Millions
of people are being
displaced and systematically
driven from their
regions and herded
into ghettos of economic
and social despair.
The illegal immigrants
that are flooding
our borders are fleeing
these drug war zones.
The lands their families
once farmed are being
fought over by corporate
backed governments,
and drug lords. End
this un-winnable
drug war and lift
this dark cloud that
has fallen on our
nation and neighbors.
Try to imagine a
life and world without
this drug war.
