Hello all! Today I want to discuss an actual admission of guilt, in writing, to breaking the law by the Warden at KY State Penitentiary and his side-kick CPT Bare. This even shocked me because I’m so used to them lying and “altering” the record when they are in the wrong.It’s so normal that I pretty [...]
Hello All! Another day of the hostage crisis. I have much to share in this latest update. For one, I’m just recovering from COVID. And yes, I was still in Solitary (the Hole) even though I was not supposed to be. When this is published, I may still be there. Believe me, “hell hole” named Cell [...]
7/12/2022 I’ve thought long and hard about how to specifically craft this letter. I’m sitting in a 4x6 cell in isolation, without resources. Just a pen and paper and my brain. Trying to process how COVID 19 has exposed the massive failure that is mass incarceration. Since I don’t have my actual possessions with me or [...]
I used to think the most interesting thing about me was my time in the service which started with parachuting into Afghanistan (Objective Rhino) right after 9-11 and dropping in behind enemy lines 2 months before the invasion of Iraq began, but it’s probably that for the last decade plus I’ve been incarcerated for a crime [...]
This update might be somewhat of a controversial one amongst the incarcerated population. So I’ll use broad strokes to paint this picture.. It’s no big secret that there are drugs in prisons. They are smuggled inside in dozens of ingenious ways and depending on how much or how little are available on the yard at a [...]
The following Open Letter is written by my nephew, John Calvin Buckley, an inmate at KY State Penitentiary. The situation inside KSP—and we believe most KY prisons right now—is incredibly dangerous to inmates AND guards and is beyond any decency towards human beings that are supposed to be adequately cared for by the state, and whose [...]
Feb. 2022 My friends, It’s been a little while since I’ve written a new update so I figure its time. In short—I’m still housed at KY State Penitentiary and have managed to endure another holiday season as a hostage of the Commonwealth. Not only have I missed so many with my loved ones, but the 13th [...]
Dear Reader, If you keep up with me, I assume you know my origin story: Army Ranger, wrongly convicted and incarcerated for a heinous crime, of which the Commonwealth of Kentucky is fully aware I am innocent of. One of the first 100 soldiers to set foot in Afghanistan (and by proxy the entire Global War [...]
LEGAL UPDATE - OCTOBER 2021 Having denied John justice at the State level, the legal arena has now moved to the Federal Level. It is October 12th, 2021. This ordeal for John Buckley and his family began over Memorial Day in 2010. That night, he was wrongfully accused of sexual assault by a woman who introduced [...]
Dear Reader, So it seems I’ve come full circle. When my aunt Carol and I began this journey of informing you all about my nightmare existence here in Kentucky, I was buried in the deepest, darkest hole the Commonwealth had at Kentucky’s only Max Security Penitentiary, the end of the line for an inmate…Eddyville. They send [...]
