They say most of your brain shuts down when your caged and drugged severely all but the primitive side, the animal side. No wonder I am still awake and thinking about my escape, formulating a way out, and accumulating the furtherance of my own personal death-toll.
The drugs they gave me, the medication was suppose to dull my senses, mix up my mind, confuse me, make me sleep, piss my pants, and make me some kind of fucking dullard. I am on to their games.
I know how to fight it off with my mind. After all, my most powerful weapon is my mind and no one can take that away from me while I am alive.
I know that I am several floors down in the dampness of my cell confined. I didn’t see anything when they brought me into here. They made damned sure of that.
Though I cannot see my surroundings. I can taste the fear from the others and in this, I know I am not alone. I know there are souls nearby. I know there are opportunities.
Among other things, I can smell the scent of pines far above me through the concrete, barbed wire, and the various nervous cunts they have on staff here. I can smell the pain, the confusion, and even the paint on these godamn walls.
I can practically taste the very color.
Though still bound and blinded, my mouth guarded to prevent me from biting others. I am strapped into a device that they used to haul me down here into this new home of mine, a home that they say that I will never leave only in death. The mere thought of that alone causes a smirk to arises that I cannot hold back as to the thought that this place they think that can contain me forever.
We’ll just have to see about that.
Fuck them, this is going to be fun…
Jackson “Jake” S. Tjaden
Convict and Patient
Maximum Security – Level 5, Block D
”We need a harden maximum security facility that will ensure the security of our law abiding citizenry from America’s most dangerously insane convicts that are beyond redemption, beyond any cure, beyond any treatment of our time, and beyond any rehabilitation practices we currently can provide…” President Barack Obama 2013.
“I am pleased to announce that a new maximum security facility for the harden criminally insane will begin groundwork in South Dakota. Not only will this offer job opportunities in the specialized career fields needed at such a place, but this will also offer an economic boon to a community in dire need. Deadwood has been selected for this wonderful opportunity…” Governor Daniel “Dutch” Wilson 2015.
“First it was the gaming, the gambling, and you can surely see where that brought this community in nearly to the utter demise as our nation’s economy, the mismanagement, and greed nearly killed our community for good. Deadwood practically became a footnote in the annals of South Dakota history. Now they want to bring in and build a maximum security facility, an abomination to house the most villainous, the most wrathful, the most unforgiving souls imaginable that goes beyond God’s plan of Salvation. This horrid thing is to be built up on top of Deadwood Mountain above the Mount Moriah Cemetery. I truly wonder what the old bones of Seth Bullock would think about all of this?
Nothing of good, nothing of God shall become of this. Hear my words people…” Rev. Henry Weston Smith’s final speech before his assassination, August 20, 2016.
“Ground finally breaks today on the very top of Mount Moriah Cemetery here in Deadwood. It is a joyous day, it is a sad day as we have lost one of Deadwood’s greatest sons, Reverend Henry Weston Smith who now sleeps eternally with his fathers in our historical and most sacred ground. The new center will bring forth shade and we hope, a measure of peace to Reverend Smith’s grave. Though his assassin is still on the lamb and to the law enforcement agencies promise an arrest. Then true justice of this land shall be served. But let us think of the brilliant possibilities that our future shall bring…” Mayor Joseph Mobley, October 31, 2017
“Today in Deadwood, the ill-fated remains of the Sky-Crest Casino and Hotel is finally demolished upon the lofty summit of Deadwood Mountain as both federal and local construction crews make haste in removing the remains for the new Whispering Pines Sanitarium, the latest in both a federal mental hospital, and a maximum security facility. There is nothing but high hopes and faith in this new opportunity in Deadwood as a parade on the nearly abandoned Main Street that was formerly the location of many now abandoned casinos that will become an outstanding marvel of shops, stores, and a business center in the regenerated community.” The Rapid City Journal, December 15, 2017.
“I personally don’t give a fuck if the construction crews found remains of those goddamned Indians. This information about uncovering a fucking Indian Burial Ground must not get out to the public in the least. Do you goddamn understand me?
Besides, look at all the gold that has been discovered and now being recovered. Shit, there’s enough to pay for the entire construction. Let’s just focus on that, shall we?” Personal Meeting with heads of the Whispering Pines Construction Project – Governor Daniel “Dutch” Wilson 2017.

Glenn became adamant as his associates and friends mentioned and reported to authorities that Glenn was planning to break into the secured site and prove to everyone that once and for all, he is correct in the possible huge discovery of gold. William Willis Glenn of Lead, South Dakota says in his arrest that he can prove all of his allegations against the project. The Whispering Pines Construction Project’s Chief Engineer, Gina Davidson strongly denies this.
Authorities also report that William Willis Glenn suffers from metal illness and these accusations are all a fabrication of his diseased mind and nothing more. Authorities also have discovered that Glenn was in possession of highly explosive and illegal materials in the basement of his residence. Glenn can face up to three-life sentences as they also uncovered plans to destroy the Whispering Pines Construction Project with these explosives. Glenn denies owning these deadly materials or a terrorist attempt to attack the Project. He also claims that the government and supplanted these plans, items, and explosives. ” Argus Leader, September 2018.

We can all stand in awe of the most advanced facility of this kind and be in wonderment for generations to come of these men and women’s achievement.’” Spearfish News, February 21, 2021
It is a very stormy night as the winds give howl through the heavy timbers and dark pines as the rains batter against the new cobblestone and concrete security towers. Flashes of lightening catch the razor wire as sparks dance down the wire far above the matching cobblestone and concrete outer wall.
The clouds muster all of its terrible storm down upon the flatten summit of Deadwood Mountain as in the backdrop far below rests the town of Deadwood itself as the lights through most of the community suddenly go out as another huge bolt of searing lightening directly strikes a transformer seen in the town. Undaunted, the massive concrete, steel, and cobblestone buildings behind the wall continue to shine its powerful lights.
Unscathed by the storm, those high above in the towers underneath a well fortified brow of a roof of these towers behind heavy greenish-blue bullet-proof glass look on into the perimeter and bathed in the cool blue and green screens of their surveillance equipment are caught in their faces and eyes as two armed guards with fully automatic weapons on each of these towers are pacing around the outer iron and steel catwalks under the roof as the torrential rains forms small cascading streams of water down safely out of their purview as all focus on the plush green yard filled with lines of small rows of manicured flowers and the green grass beyond in the center.
The roadway, a freshly paved blacktop with additional small halogen lamps lightning both sides and exactly measured no more than twenty-five feet from one another encompass this circular directing roadway that begins from the heavily fortified electro-mechanical iron gate that the pointed spires upon each of the heavy bars of the gate itself point up directly in defiance of the dark skies above to the Main Administration Building and the Hospital. This is the only main road that enters and leave from the same singular point.
There are other roadways, all well lit, all with some sort of armed security checkpoint. Behind and throughout every one hundred yards is the same identically fashioned towers on each side of the large gate. Daunting, these towers stand one hundred feet above the grounds. All of these towers contain heavily armed guards, all have the latest in both security, and surveillance technology. Even the very roofs of both the Main Administration Building and including the Hospital contains smaller towers containing armed security in the event someone tries a nearly impossible escape would succeed would be seen, and of course, summarily fatally shot without exception.
Even if someone escaped the internal workings of this fortress the upper floors of these buildings, they would have to make a break for it across nearly one hundred yards of wide open ground to only be brought down under blinding light from the various search lamps that trigger on all unauthorized motion or the detection of unauthorized personnel at a moment’s notice. Then would come the raining hail of copper-jacketed bullets from high-powered weaponry. Then of course, the legion of attack dogs would dine upon what would be left, what might still be alive as the Warden’s silhouette high above in the French Bay Window at his live-in home within the Main Administration Building would be seen looking on while holding a glass of brandy as he brought it up to take a sip as he could see the escapees in their last moments bringing up their hands in mercy as the dogs would begin to tear at them viciously in their last breaths.
The silhouette would then turn away from the window and casually finish his drink and join his trophy wife lying spread-eagle and waiting for him on top of his satin and silk dark blue bed sheets with the Department of Corrections seal on the matching linen just below her ivory sculpted moisten ass as he would turn out the light once more.
Out behind the wall another flash of lightening lights up the area and there a sign of bronze, steel, copper, and cobblestone is a sign with bold metal formed words are seen from the blanket of darkness momentarily removed, “Welcome to the Whispering Pines Federal Mental Hospital and Inmate Facility.” Rather oxymoronic when you consider looking at the whole foreboding facility and what kind of hell that lies within.
“Welcome to the Whispering Pines Federal Mental Hospital and Inmate Facility” indeed…
