The Devil's Pocket


Serving Time in the Devil’s Pocket

The good, the bad, the ugly

By Carl R. ToersBijns


You must be wondering where is this place we call the Devil’s Pocket and where does it stand in the state of Arizona? To even attempt to try to explain this concept in layman terms can best be said that this place can best be described as an evil paranormal and supernatural razor wire concrete steel-filled world where the bold and the bad live in camaraderie with the devil’ ways.

An evil way of life best said to signify tyranny, corruption and the unending and most challenging unnatural partnership between the good, the bad and the ugly.

The Devil’s pocket is what the Arizona prison system is and became since the governor and the majority of legislators began to ignore the civil rights and standards of those imprisoned and under their legal and moral custodial care that is required by the rule of law for incarcerated persons.

It begun with the appointment of a man known to be the Devil’s advocate who spent his time in another devil’s pocket called Abu Ghraib.

This man was hired on by the governor of our state and recommended by many for the purpose of instilling justice in our prison systems and who with a swift stroke of the tainted and malevolent pen, turned justice into vengeance. Nothing irreverent was forced upon him.

He did this all by himself and with a little help of his henchmen and evil minded conspirators that have served him in the past.  He became the center of what was to be a desultory way to run prisons and harm those inside with harsh and toxic methods that destroys even the strongest soul that lives there.

Maintaining tight controls of the helm, he steered this evil vessel into the darkness where no light can reach the truth and no man can live beyond the capabilities of being supernatural in strength and fear.

There is no presence of religious scruples or moral compass guidance tools as the methods directed are deemed to be stupid, cynical and most harmful to the human mind. He has not yet been held culpable or accountable for all the tragedies, atrocities or misfortunes to date and it seems that his absolute power has silenced those voices who fear to speak out against him about the evilness and suffering souls under his thumb of power.

It is here where the good suffer the most. They must live and survive under the wrath of hate and fear imposed by their leader who has a mindset of the devil himself. He has boldly stated that a man is but a man and not one without a heart or mind. He has no face and carries with him no value of concern or worries. 

He reinforces the mindset with his belief that a man without a heart or mind and who carries no face is a dead man thus therefore does not exist. His voice whispers into selected ears and calls out the weak to join him in his venture. He carries with him a sharp sword to divide and conquer those that oppose him and cuts them down like a dagger in the heart. He cares not about age, race or religion. He worries not about the consequences as he destroys the souls of men by treating them with indignity and animal like behaviors.

There are basically two kinds of good people inside the devil’s pocket. Those that are good hearted and faithful to their ethical and moral compass and those that know the morality of life but are too weak to overcome the challenge to join the good-hearted for a triumphant victory over evil.

The good run the risk of losing good relationships with family, friends and team members due to the cutting of this evil man. They are double crossed and left for dead as they work for the devil’s right hand man that understands nothing about humanity and respect.  The good know very well this creature rarely misses his targets and find it hard to understand why he was chosen to be a leader when all that is important to him is power and greed and the glory.

Wretchedly the good also know that inside this Devil’s pocket, God is not on their side as this leader preaches hate and contempt as he finds other men to follow his paths of glory.  The good might as well save their breath until this leader is gone as they cannot manage resistance against his power. He manages it so tightly that if you oppose it, even merely in silent thoughts, he finds you out and after that you may surely die slowly, very slowly.

His wickedness makes you think and wonder if you truly know who you are and what your job is here where reality exists. He wants to confuse you and everybody around you. He is the son of the devil and the score of men that are bastards like him and that follow his every wish and desire unconditionally.

 There are basically two kinds of bad people inside the devil’s pocket; there are those in powerful positions that use their power to punish the good and those in roles empowered by those in power to further inflict deeper wounds into the goodness of people.

The bad are those wicked enough to join him in his capture of souls and the minds of men. They have chosen sides with the son of the devil as they believe that by following him, they too will reap the benefits of evil and power. They are in every sense disciples of doom and darkness carrying out those tasks that bring hate and deception to those they offend and pretend to be friends with as they seek out the good and manipulate a way to slay them.

You see in this devil’s pocket there are three kinds of people in the power structure; those in power [bad] and those that are subordinates [good[ and follow and those that prey on death and destruction [ugly]. In this supernatural place there are many followers that are both good and bad.

There are basically two kinds of bad people that exist inside the devil’s pocket; those that are ill experienced and temperamental and those who blindly mimic evil ways to satisfy their sadistic souls.

Basically, the bad are idiots and often confused themselves as they have not the power to think for themselves and are spoon fed every dose of evil the leader can muster for every task at hand. On must wonder what the leader pays them with and how does he make sure they follow his every whim and desire. He pays them with gold and silver. He pays them with glory and power and leaves them the wealth long after he leaves hoping they will carry on his work and evil. He pays them with positional supremacy over others and gives them the authority to bid his wishes.

The ugly know what time it is inside this devil’s pocket. They know how to live in war-like conditions and understand that conflict is the way of life to survive. They are prey and predators at the same time depending on their role. They are either the tormentor or the tormented decided on their strength and desire to live and let live.  There is no use to try to have the ugly listen to what is to be said inside such a man made hell-hole. They know nothing and think they know everything there is to know.

There are two kinds of ugly people inside prisons; one that open the door and those that close the doors.

These doors are entries into hell and brimstone and are rarely forgotten to exist.   Ugly people are the Judas of the bunch. They hide and steal and take what is not chained down or left behind.  They are the bounty hunters of opportunity doing time and strip away a man’s dignity with the motive to collect the reward for doing so by those that open and close the doors to hell. These people do not shudder at death or misery but rather compliment the gory with the glory of being one of the ugliest ones there. They embrace violence and evil with a kiss of death for those that oppose them that includes even their own.

They believe they will inherit the Earth and feel that by harming those that are good will fulfill their social obligations to spend the rest of their time in the good graces of the Devil himself. The ugly battle the good in bloody battles for control of the environment and of the minds. They act like robots with desire to destroy humanity and annihilation of those that carry the goodness inside. Sometimes they join forces with the bad to achieve higher expectations of power and surpass even the ugliest of their peers.

There is an extreme prejudice against the good one that exceeds the normal limits of evilness as they fear the good will screw with their minds and make them weak at heart and vulnerable to changing their ways of thinking.
 
Strangely enough they worry more about the good people than the bad as they are plagued with the idea of being human again and do the things that are contrary to the Devil’s ways making them vulnerable and at the mercy of those who are bad.

They worry more about the good than the bad because they fear evolutionary thinking more than revolutionary behavior. They fear the “halo effect” and the damage it would do in their reputation and behavior among their ugliest of peers that insist that ugliness takes precedence over either the good or bad that exist there inside the devil’s pocket. 

Therefore they worship the bad for their similar qualities and assume that their common bond is potential for future successes in their way of life inside this man made hell.
