Retaliation, in that Mail-room Supervisor G. Vandiver, specifically, made a
threat to Alvaro that his correspondents (we presume to be all) “be put on
a negative mail list”.

Alvaro has had mail problems before, but this is an open threat made by the Supervisor
and can't go unchallenged, that stemmed from certain pages being removed
(confiscated) from a copy of the book “Defying The Tomb”, written by Virginia
state prisoner and Minister of Defense for the New Afrikan Black Panther Party
Prison Chapter (NABPP/PC) Kevin (Rashid) Johnson, sent him by Inside Out Books
(the publisher) in Seattle, Washington; the pages Supervisor Vandiver and
the  mail-room objected to, claimed would breakdown the prison's operation -
with prisoner disruptions - strikes - and rioting.

The fact that the [4] pages removed earlier (pages 112-113 – and 120-121), were re-sent
individually to Alvaro without incident, and that Inside Out Books was
never sent an official notice for denial of publication, would strongly support
suspicions that the retaliatory nature of Vandiver's reaction to Alvaro's filed
Grievance caused the threatening remark made about his mail in or out; because
they must have realized their jobs were in jeopardy and that they were out of
TDCJ & TBCJ policy compliance. This is not an idle threat, because prison (unit)
administrations generally allow officers discretion to control prisoners this
way, so it can never be credited for even happening IF an impression isn't made
to Huntsville or on a Senior Warden by supporters & the public.

You’ll have to give Alvaro’s TDCJ-CID# 255735 when you call, and mention he’s in
Administrative Segregation at the Alfred D. Hughes Unit in Gatesville, Texas.

Tell Huntsville that we demand the “disputed pages” that were torn
out, then re-sent separately by the publisher of the book in question
“Defying The Tomb”, then being confiscated once again must be returned
to him, and an explanation why there were two different decisions made
by the mail room in regards to not allowing the pages, and then admitting them
separately later.
