CHERYL: I was charged on
three accounts which were
assaulting three FBI agents,
kicking one and hitting two.
I
pleaded guilty of one
which was assaulting one of­
fic e r, tu t I was found guilty
on a ll three charges.
LYNN: Do you feel that the
court appointed attorney hin­
dered o r aided you in per­
spective with comprehension
of due process of law.
CHERYL: No, in fact, he told
me that I would have a better
chance if 1 were white, so I
may as well plead guilty.
LYNN: Your experiences at
Term inal Island Federal In­
stitution is s till indistinct to
various readers. E x p lic itly
could you give some rapport
on this.
CHERYL: I kept to m yself.
I didn’t go around other in­
mates. I only had a couple
of acquaintances. I watched
everyone. I didn’ t trust any­
one too much.
The incident while in p ri­
son that affects my life is
being raped. I had seen the
man tefore while serving him
a cup of coffee.
I worked
as a waitress there. One
thing which is pecular was
that I received a $5JX) tip
from this man lo r the coffee.
Then later, 1 went to get some
ice by myself, which I look
upon suspiciously.
LYNN:
What in p a rticular
was suplcious to you?
CHERYL: The matrons us­
ually
are watching every
move we make, txit that day
no one seemed to follow me
o r pay any attention to my
whereabouts. In conclusion,
I was raped In the cafeteria,
and now I'm pregnant.
LYNN: Why didn't you report
this immediately?
CHERYL: I didn't think they
would do anything about it. I
remember where one g irl was
pregnant and wanted an abor­
tion.
No one did anything
about it, so she committed
suicide.
LYNN:
How would you de­
scribe the institution make­
up and the inmates?
CHERYL: I describe it as a
mental instituion, except you
don't re a lly get any help.
They make everyone think that
they ere going to be helped,
but they don't have any in­
tentions of doing anything.
They said they were going to
teach you how to live, to better
yourself.
Most of the in­
mates are drug addicts, pros­
titutes o r homosexuals. The
matrons, one in particular,
are sick because of drinking
a ll the tim e. The women are
hostile; always at each others'
throats, fighting over triv ia l
m a tte rs .
The
doctors
wouldn’ t serve you when you
needed them.
LYNN: Was this consistent?
CHERYL:
Yes, the doctors
would experiment with the
prisoners before they would
treat the public with what­
ever type of project they were
working on.
LYNN: Do you plan to keep
the child.
CHERYL: Yes.
