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.
