In 1961, a new show hit the airwaves in Britain, The Avengers. The main character was Dr. David Keel (Ian Hendry) whose wife had been murdered. He’s recruited by spy John Steed (Patrick McNee) to be an expert consultant in exchange for help avenging his spouse. After the fairly gritty first season, Mr. Hendry departed for a movie career and Steed became the main…

Book Review: Rediscovery: Science Fiction by Women Volume 2 (1953-1957) edited by Gideon Marcus
As the introduction by Janice L. Newman points out, women have written science fiction all along. The percentage of them getting published at any given time in the magazines and books waxed and waned, but they were always there. In the period of the 1950s covered in this volume, they averaged about 1…
I have spent my entire life locked inside of a box. I’ve watched other men die for as little as failing to say “excuse me” after accidentally bumping into someone in chow line. I’ve seen other men kill each other over words, rumors, lies, or even one’s facial expression. I’m sure most of you can say the same thing. In our world life holds very little value, and death is the only thing that’s free.
If you have ever been incarcerated for any length of time then I’m sure, like me, you believe you have seen everything there is to see where duplicity is concerned. You haven’t. Not yet you haven’t.
Just when I thought I had encountered every dime store con game or bullshit hustle ever invented,along came two of the most devious, conniving, shyster ass bitches I’ve ever seen; as consummate a liar as even the most seasoned of con artists, as calculating as any predator, and as skilled an actor as any Hollywood starlet. I am a skeptical person by Nature, and over the years I have developed a habit of always looking for the hidden agenda; but believe me when I tell you that these two charlatans schooled my ass as if I had just gotten off the bus.
The game they bring to the table is something most of us would never even suspect. I mean after all, what do we have that anyone would wish to trick us out of it? Why would anyone go to so much trouble trying to convince us they are someone other than who they say they are? And yet that is exactly what these two chameleons do so well…
I don’t know if you’re aware of this or not but there is an entire sub culture outside our walls devoted to exploiting convicts. I must admit that I had no idea these people existed until I had the grand misfortune of becoming one of their targets. Odds are, if you have been convicted of a high profile crime or received a lot of media exposure, you are also a prime target for these people. Hell, you may already be corresponding with one of them and don’t even know it. You may even believe you are in a trusted relationship with one of them. Hopefully this little newsletter will change that. Make no mistake my friend, these people do not give a rat’s ass about you. The only thing their letters are good for is wiping one’s ass with them. Assuming you can avoid the paper cuts.
Now if I were in your position and reading this letter from your perspective I’m sure my first thought would be, it sounds like it was written by some poor schmuck who got his feelings hurt. It would be a perfectly natural assumption and not all together invalid. No one likes having to admit they got played like a banjo; but my wounded pride notwithstanding, I’m writing this letter to expose these fraudulent bitches because I still believe in honor among thieves, and also because I hate a fucking double standard…
Think about it for a minute,friend. How many times have you gone hungry or done without something instead of asking someone on the outside for a helping hand? Because you already know that if you do ask, then you’re just another f***ing con artist using people. If you have a girlfriend outside who tries to help out from time to time she’ll be informed by everyone around her that you’re just after her money. It can’t possibly be that you actually care about her as a person, that you adore her personality and love her sense of humor; it’s not because you respect and admire her intelligence,or that her kind and gentle spirit is the only thing helping you cling to your own battered Humanity. And they will never in life be able to understand that every minute you spend with her is an hour you get to feel like you actually matter to someone else. And that’s the one thing they will never be able to place a value on. No, its always about you being a con, out to use someone else. No matter how sincere you are or how earnest your love may be, it will never be recognized in the same spirit as it’s given.
And yet they can toy with our emotions and view us as nothing more than zoo animals, dangerous pets, or merely sources of amusement ; even exploit us for their own financial gain and there will be not a word uttered in our defense, nor a single voice raised on our behalf. If anything, they will say we deserve it. We had it coming. After all we are nothing more than lowly convicts, and our feelings count for nothing.
Even less than nothing to the likes of Jessica Miller or Alina Pride ; Or any of the others like them within their little community of true crime enthusiasts, where these two women have set the battle standard for exploiting prisoners. They call themselves DeathMerchant, and they have turned the exploitation of prisoners into an art form.
There has always been Rules of Engagement for any battle. Even world wars have rules governing the treatment of prisoners. But when it comes to exploiting us, this group of people has no rules. There is nothing they won’t do. No level to which they will not stoop in order to get what they want from certain convicts. From pretending to be news reporters, priest, lawyers, Etc to switching genders the way one changes socks. And in some cases they will even work in tandem, 1 setting the stage for the other to take advantage of us. What are they after? Anything they can get from you. Be it artwork, tracings of your hand, photos, legal work, your clothes, anything! They will even ask you for your hair.
And then they sell it on their twisted little website for unbelievable amounts of money.
HOW THEY OPERATE
Alina Pride lives in New York, but one of the first thing she will tell you when she writes you a letter is this she is from Russia or the Ukraine. This is highly suspect has all of her family lives in Boston LOL if I was a Gambling Man I would bet my last dollar she was born in a welfare Hospital somewhere in Massachusetts. but I will at least give her this much, unless she’s pretending to be a man she does actually send a legitimate photo of herself. (See enclosed photos)
But if you fail to correspond with her or if you write her and she is unable to establish interest in herself she will gladly introduce you to her best friend Jessica who just wants to be your buddy. This is actually the very tactic that was employed with me. It serves two purposes. By introducing you to her BFF you just naturally assume that the picture you receive is an actual photo of her friend. (See catfish photos)
Enclosed are a couple of her favorite photos to send inmates. I have been unable to establish exactly who this woman is but one thing is for certain Jessica Miller has pilfered everything there was to pilfer from her photo album. And she will use them throughout her correspondence with you in order to convince you beyond any doubt that she is indeed the pixie little blond in the photo. But the truth my friend is quite another story altogether.(see photo Jessica Miller )
Jessica Miller loves telling her victims and anyone else who will listen for that matter how she is a graduate from Purdue University and has a degree in psychology and that she is a licensed realtor in the state of Indiana. The University of Purdue has never heard of this woman and she wouldn’t even know how to begin selling a house. Every single facet of her life is a fabrication. She’ll tell you that she used to date a band member of Nine Inch Nails. (Must have been that Blind drummer.)
Some of the names she has written inmates under is Jessika Gein , or Gilbert , or Jessie Miller whenever she is pretending to be a guy.
But chances are, now that they have been exposed it is safe to assume that they will have switched tactics and found them some new photographs of some other unsuspecting females they can impersonate, so just be leery of any correspondence you may receive from the state of Indiana or the state of New York because there is nothing they won’t do to continue their lucrative albeit illegal Enterprise.
Their objectives are pretty straightforward and simple. Jessica and her brainless hand puppet BFF Alina Pride strive to establish romantic relationships with notorious prisoners so is to cash in on name recognition. They will send guys a tracing of their hand and invite him to place his hand in theirs. Knowing that most guys will do exactly as they hoped and send a tracing of his hand back to them, and it will go straight up on their website for sale, along with the letters.
If you make the mistake of placing your trust in either one of these women and think that she actually gives a s*** about you, she will use that against you in the most brutal of Fashions. She will have you call her, which she certainly will record and use it against you if at all possible. She will offer to call your family for you and then con them out of your childhood photos under the pretense of writing a book, when all she wants to do is sell them on her website. She will promise to come see you, make elaborate plans to move closer to you, talk about wanting to marry you, all the while being engaged to three other guys and a couple of females and telling them all the same s*** she’s telling you. Love and trust and loyalty are nothing but words they use as tools of their trade: deceit They have no f****** concept of what those words actually mean.
When all of her lies have ran their course and there’s no more room for her to wiggle and lie out of other s*** that you’ve caught her in, she will vanish on you without so much as a f*** you very much. If someone had not informed me of what she had on Her Tumblr page hell I guess I still would not be aware that she had dumped me and moved on to another victim. Cuz she certainly didn’t even have the f****** decency to inform me.
Once she dumps you and moves on to her newly selected victim she will inform him of what a horrible person you were and how jealous you were of all the men who flirted with her, and every chance she gets she will tell someone what a piece of s*** you were and how horribly you treated her; when the truth is, you will have never laid eyes on that bitch in person.
So my brother’s! Be aware! They are out there and they don’t play. Take nothing at face value and don’t trust a single f****** letter that comes out of Indiana or New York because I’m here to tell you if you are any kind of a high-profile convict odds are it’s just a matter of time till this b**** tries to trick you out of something.
