On 8/18/11, I was transferred to Barchey Unit. A medium security yard at Lewis complex. The reason behind the move was not given to me, but I'm certain that it was caused by CO IV Goins.
Goins is an African American guy whose pompousness and ignorance outshine his professionalism. Rumored to have sued this way to his current position within ADOC, Goins walks the yard spinning lies, instigating drama and deepening the dislike for him that prisoners and staff have. In addition to petty annoyances that could be attributed to his personality, Mr. Goins also had a few quite serious quirks. Two of which were his outspoken prejudice and brash attitude towards drug addicts. My own shortness with people like Goins contributed to my demise as a minimum security inmate on Eagle Point Unit.
Despite the fact that the Deputy Warden, two COIII's, COIV and Central Office authorizing me to stay a minimum security inmate on Eagle Point Unit, it's apparent that Goins has used the "Morphine Incident" to harass me, make accusations against me of illegal activities, and get me moved off of the unit.
Some may ask why he would single me out. There are multiple reasons, but to be honest I don't know his true reasons.
Since his arrival on Eagle Point, Goins had complained to me numerous times about my blog writing and "warned" me more than once about the contents of what I write. I've also spent time and money starting and keeping alive a program he has been trying to put an end to. The arts and crafts program. There are many reasons I could guess why he targeted me, but I won't. I don't care what his reasons are. I go home in mere months to live my life, be happy and leave all of this behind me.
I'm doing well here and continue to ready myself for my new life.
Oh yeah, upon packing my things for the move, the CO's found my cellmate's two round tail ground squirrels. I'll miss them.

As I'm sure you know, even outside of prison, you're always going to encounter people like Goins. It's unfortunate but some people just aren't happy unless they're taking other people down or instigating shit. You just have to take them at face value, sometimes deal with their crap for a while, and then move on without them.
Stay positive. Like you said, you're out of there soon - don't let some idiots bring you down to their level or hold you back.
