This is L.R.Burk... "The Man in the Bag" from www.takenbythefeds.com coming to you almost live from Texas. Today is a beautiful warm day with a light breeze and I wish I was home!

Your guess is as good as mine but here is what I am guessing. My new honorable judge has 3+ options. 1.) Move forward a

L.R. Burk - Almost live.... Feeling rather dead today actually. I have been on this earth in the "outside world" exactly 58 years today. Does anybody feel like their kids are from another planet or that they have somehow mutated? I do. What is it with lack of responsibility, late for everything and full of excuses? I definitely did not impart these traits to my boys yet this is exactly what I get from them, most of the time now. It is hard enough being locked up but what make

Hey folks, It's me again and have I got some news for you! This weekend has been full of surprises. We received a box of brand new silver jewelry and our office manager is getting the photos and quantities, etc.. together to place in the store!

I wish we could publish their name and give full credit, but respect their anonymity as they wish. This as I sa

Well, being Super bowl Sunday I was busy cheering for my Seahawks... and boy did they ever pull through! This was only the second time in franchise history they have scored a Super bowl...

This is L.R. Burk, "The Man in the Bag" from www.takenbythefeds.com coming to you through the TRULINCS program inside BOP on a Saturday morning... What is going on in our world today? The Dow jumps to over 50,000... First time ever. We are apparently biding our time to have everything in place as we continue to let the Iranians run their mouths... They claim they will never stop enrichment of uranium and that their ballistic missiles are not going away... My question is when

By: L.R. Burk, "The Man in the Bag" www.takenbythefeds.com Good morning folks! Today is Friday and more than 1/2 the nation will be shopping to get the last minute things for making their "Super-bowl" experience more "tasty" either today or tomorrow.

Well folks... Talking to some of my associates here we have come to the conclusion that with everything going on in Venezuela, Minneapolis-(ICE), Portland, AZ, Iran, etc... nobody is very focused on the cleaning up of the BOP. What I mean is this and when Washington gets this back into their line of sight there may be a change for the better. Idea: So... Camps are technically considered "Community Custody"... Did you even know that? Yup! They are by law no different from a ca
