For Felix and others like him | PEOPLE OF THE EYE - first, last, and all the time g. veditz 1910
I’ve been writing family guy season 10 episode 1 to Felix Garcia for a while now. He is a Latin@ Deaf* man serving life for a murder his Hearing brother has confessed to. Felix has been in prison for over 30 years and many of those years were spent alone – amongst hundreds of other men – all Hearing and non-signing – a virtual sentence to solitary confinement for no crime other than being a Deaf man walking.
You can see Felix and other Deaf men and women in the Deaf in Prison documentary that H.E.A.R.D will be screening June 27-29 | 12am-11:59pm. If you can host a group viewing in your area – let HEARD know so they can list it. (you can see a list of different locations that are hosting a screening at http://www.behearddc.org/ scroll down for list)
For an update on Felix’ case – see Pat Bliss’ write up and scroll down for links to sign the petitions – http://deafinprison.wordpress.com/2014/06/18/life-holds-no-guarantees-update-on-felix/
Its hard for me to write about this subject because it feels so hopeless and overwhelming but as Felix always reminds me, our “words help.” Karen Christie’s poem does a superb job expressing the plight of Deaf, Deafblind and other people in prisons. Thank you for letting me reprint it here KC. Thank you Pat Bliss (Felix’ advocate), Talila Lewis (TL) and all the good folks at HEARD and the Deaf in Prison family guy season 10 episode 1 blogsite for all you are doing. family guy season 10 episode 1
