THIS IS WHAT I WOULD DO IF I WAS IN CHARGE AND HAD THE FINANCIAL MEANS TO DO, SOME OF WHICH I HAVE ALREADY WRITTEN: SINCE HANNIBAL IS NOT REALLY IN A REAL PRISON, SOME OF THESE ARE OUT-OF-THE-ORDINARY – BEFORE ANYTHING I WOULD REMOVE ALL CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS FROM HIM, HE DOESN’T NEED THEM!

THINGS TO DO FOR HANNIBAL, NOT A JOKE:

1. WHATEVER HIS HOUSING LOCATION IS, I WOULD RE-PAINT ITS INTERIOR WITH ZERO VOC’S PAINT IN AN IVORY OR OFF-WHITE AND WHITE TRIM COLOR THROUGHOUT.

2. REPLACE ANY CARPETING WITH HARD WOOD FLOORS, PREFERABLY A LIGHT WOOD COLOR.

3. I WOULD BUY BRAND NEW MATTRESS AND OR BOX SPRING, IF HANNIBAL PREFERS A PLATFORM BED TO A TRADITIONAL BED, AND THAT COULD MEAN HE GETS NEW BED FURNITURE.

4. I WOULD BUY BRAND NEW COTTON PAJAMAS WITH LONG LEGS AND LONG SLEEVED COLLARED SHIRT, A BRAND NEW, FRESHLY LAUNDERED PAJAMAS, EVERY NIGHT, WHATEVER COLOR AND PREFERENCES HE LIKES, I WOULD AVOID DARK COLORS, FOR NOW.

5. I WOULD BUY HIM NEW SLIPPERS AND OR ROBE FOR HIM TO RELAX IN BEFORE BED-TIME.

6. HE NEEDS A OUTDOOR, MEDITATIVE SPACE, JUST FOR HIM, JUST FOR HIM TO FEEL SAFE IN, PREFERABLY WITH A WATER FEATURE, LIKE A FOUNTAIN, TO GO TO EVERY DAY, ANYTIME OF DAY, TO PRAY, READ A BOOK, OR JUST LOOK AT SCENERY, OR BREATHE OUTSIDE AIR.

7. HE NEEDS A DAILY OUTSIDE ACTIVITY, AT LEAST FIVE OR SIX DAYS A WEEK, OF EITHER, BICYCLING, WALKING, PREFERABLLY JOGGING OR RUNNING, WORKING UP TO BEING ABLE TO RUN OR JOG. HIS BODY NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO SWEAT A LITTLE, FOR HIS PORES. NOT TO OVER-EXERT HIM, IT IS FOR CARDIO-VASCULAR HEALTH. HE ALSO NEEDS THE CONNECTION TO THE OUTDOORS. SO, EXCURSIONS LIKE HIKING, OR TRAIL-WALKING WOULD BE MOST HELPFUL, ITS RESTORATIVE AND MEDITATIVE. IT’S A SHAME, I AM NO LONGER ALLOWED OUTSIDE EXERCISE BECAUSE OF THE MACHINE FROM EDISON SINCE 2014! OTHERWISE, HE WOULD BE ABLE TO – FOLLOW ME!

8. HE NEEDS BRAND NEW SHEETS AND BEDDING OF AT LEAST A 500 THREAD COUNT EGYPTIAN COTTON, AND THE SAME FOR NEW TOWELS SETS OF EGYPTIAN COTTON. IT’S THE BEST QUALITY OF COTTON.

9. HE NEEDS BRAND NEW SOAPS AND SHAMPOOS, PREFERABLY PEPPERMINT AND ORGANIC.

10. HE SHOULD HAS HIS MEALS OF MOSTLY VEGETABLE AND COOKED MEATS, AVOIDING STARCH QUANTITIES. AS MUCH AS HE WANTS OR AS LITTLE AS HE WANTS, AND IF HE DOES NOT WANT TO COOK HIMSELF, HE COULD HAVE HIS MEALS CATERED, IF HE WANTS ONE SMALL DESSERT A DAY.

11. I’LL WRITE IT AGAIN, HE SHOULD HAVE A JUICER, HE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THIS HIMSELF, MAKE A JUICE EVERY MORNING, 14 TO 16 OUNCES EACH OF FRESH PRODUCE OF KALE, SPINACH, CELERY, BEETS, APPLES OR PEARS OR CARROTS FOR SWEETNESS, AND A FRESH CARROT JUICE EVERY DAY FOR A MONTH. HE COULD HAVE THE PRODUCE DELIVERED ALREADY CLEANED AND TRIMMED AND CUT FROM A SECURED COMPANY.

12. HE SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO REAL GOURMET COFFEE LIKE STARBUCKS AND REAL ESPRESSO. SO, EITHER HAVE PEOPLE AVAILABLE FOR STARBUCKS OR PURCHASE MACHINES FOR IN-HOME USE. WITH WHATEVER FLAVORS HE CHOOSES AND OR MILK PREFERENCE. HE COULD HAVE AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE COFFEE AS HE CHOOSES IN A DAY, AS LONG AS HE DRINKS AT LEAST 64 OUNCES OF WATER IN A DAY.

13. HE SHOULD BE DRINKING AT LEAST ONE GREEN TEA A DAY, FOR THE ANTI-OXIDANTS, HOT OR ICED WITH ORGANIC HONEY, IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE LOCAL. HE SHOULD HAVE IT SEVERAL TIMES A DAY, ESECIALLY IN HOT WEATHER.

14. HE SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE ORGANIC HONEY AVAILABLE, WHATEVER HIS PREFERENCE, SO LET HIM CHOOSE AND RESEARCH IT HIMSELF BECAUSE IT COULD BE ORDERED INSTEAD OF A STORE PURCHASE, HE SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE HONEY AVAILABLE. HONEY IS VERY MEDICINAL.

15. I WOULD ORDER A CLEANING SERVICE FOR HIM TO CLEAN HIS HOUSING WHEN HE IS, PREFERABLY, NOT AT HOME, DONE BY MEN, STRAIGHT MEN ONLY, AND HE IS ABLE TO CHOOSE, IF HE WANTS, HIS CLEANING SERVICE PEOPLE, WASH HIS SHEETS, BEDDING, AND CLOTHING FOR HIM, AND CLEAN HIS HOUSING. I WOULD PREFER HE DID NOT CHOOSE BLACK MEN, OR A BLACK MAN, JUST TO GET HIM OUT OF – THE TEACHER TRAINING THEY DID TO HIM – MODE.

16. HE NEEDS SOMETHING TO CARE FOR, LIKE A SMALL GARDEN, PREFERABLY OUTDOORS, THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT FOR INCARCERATED MEN. HE SHOULD BE ABLE TO CHOOSE WHATEVER PLANTS, WHATEVER PLANTER, FROM WHATEVER LOCATION, EITHER A STORE, NURSERY, OR ON-LINE, EITHER FLOWERS, OR A TREE, OR WHATEVER HE LIKES THE LOOK OF.

17. I WOULD ORDER HIM FRESH, NEW CLOTHES OF A BASIC WARDROBE (AT A MINIMUM DEPARTMENT STORE STANDARD LIKE DILLARDS, PREFERABLY NEIMAN MARCUS, PREFERABLY AT INTERNATIONAL MALL, AT LEAST TWO PAIRS OF SLACKS, DENIM JEANS (MINIMUM ONE), SEVERAL SHORTS, SEVERAL T-SHIRTS, A FEW NICER-THAN A T-SHIRT-SHIRTS, A DRESS SHIRT, NEW SWIM SUIT, ATHLETIC CLOTHING SET, TRACK PANTS, SWEAT PANTS, RUNNING SHORTS (3), LONG-LEGGED SPANDEX PANTS, FIVE ATHLETIC SHIRTS OF HIS CHOOSING, INCLUDING ATHLETIC UNDERWEARS (12), RUNNING OR TENNIS SHOES, CASUAL DRESS SHOES (MINIMUM 1), FLIP-FLOP SANDALS (MINIMUM 1), THONG-STYLE-ONLY, A BASEBALL HAT, AN OUTDOOR SUN PROTECTION HAT WITH WIDE BRIM, AND ANOTHER STYLE HAT OF HIS CHOOSING.

18. BRAND NEW SET OF UNDERWEAR, WHATEVER HE PREFERS TO WEAR, OF AT LEAST 10 TO 12. HE SHOULD HAVE A TWO WEEK SUPPY.

19. BRAND NEW SET OF SOCKS, AT LEAST A TWO WEEK SUPPLY.

20. A BRAND NEW BELT.

21. A NEW RAZOR TO SHAVE.

22. HE SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST 64 OUNCES OF FILTERED OR BOTTLED WATER, A DAY, OF HIS CHOOSING, EITHER BOTTLED OR A PURIFIED OR FILTERED SYSTEM.

23. HE SHOULD HAVE AN IONIZER ONE FOR HIS BEDROOM, LIVING AREA, AND OFFICE OR WORK AREA.

24. I WOULD ORDER HOT MUSTARD PLASTERS FOR HIM AT LEAST THREE TIMES A WEEK, TO BE ADMINISTERED BY A STRAIGHT MALE, A MAN FAMILIAR WITH ALTERNATIVE, EASTERN, HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINES. ONE FOR HIS CHEST AND ONE FOR HIS BACK, THEY DO NOT HAVE TO BE DONE AT THE SAME TIME, ON THE SAME DAY. HE COULD TRY EITHER THE CHEST OR BACK FIRST, AND IF HE FEELS COMFORTABLE HE COULD HAVE BOTH DONE ON THE SAME DAY. HOT MUSTARD PLASTERS FOR TWO WEEKS TO A MONTH.

25. I WOULD ORDER HIM EPSOM SALTS OF HIS CHOOSING, WHATEVER SCENT HE CHOOSES, TO HAVE A HOT BATH (MINIMUM 20 MINUTES SOAKING), IN THE EVENING, CLOSE TO BED-TIME, AT LEAST THREE TIMES A WEEK FOR AT LEAST A MONTH.

26. I WOULD ORDER HIM A SPA MUD, OR MEDICINAL MUD, OF WHATEVER HE CHOOSES, SO LET HIM RESEARCH IT, TO APPLY HIMSELF, AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK, PREFERABLY WITH A HOT BATH AS WELL, FOR A MONTH.

27. THE TEMPERATURE IN HANNIBAL’S HOUSING AT BEDTIME SHOULD BE AT LEAST 76 OR COOLER DEPENDING ON WHETHER HE IS A HOT-SLEEPER OR NOT. HE SHOULD BE SLEEPING WITH A COMFORTER OR DUVET WITH HIS SHEETS OF 500 THREAD COUNT OR HIGHER, NOT A THIN BLANKET, SO IF HE IS A HOT-SLEEPER, THE TEMPERATURE SHOULD BE 76 DEGREES OR COOLER TO ENSURE A BETTER, MORE SOUND NIGHTS SLEEP. IT SHOULD ALSO HELP WITH BEING ABLE TO SLEEP THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT ALSO.

28. I WOULD ORDER ALL NEW PILLOWS AND SHAMS OF THE QUANITY HE WANTS AND CHOOSES, INCLUDING ALLERGY-PROTECTOR COVERS, AND THAT INCLUDES THE MATRESS TOO.

29. IF HANNIBAL WOULD STILL LIKE TO WORK ON PROFILES, I WOULD LIMIT HIS HOURS TO NO MORE THAN THREE HOURS OF WORK A DAY, STARTING WITH ONLY ONE HOUR, MAXIMUM, FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS, THEN TWO HOURS, FOR TWO WEEKS, THEN NO MORE THAN THREE HOURS AFTER THAT.

30. IF HANNIBAL WOULD LIKE TO DRINK ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, I WOULD LIMIT HIM TO WHITE WINE ONLY, OF NO MORE THAN FOUR BOTTLES A WEEK, START WITH JUST TWO BOTTLES IN A WEEK, FOR TWO WEEKS, FOR STARTERS, IF I APPROVE THAN IT COULD GO TO FOUR, OF NOTHING CHEAP, MINIMUM $30 TO $40 BOTTLE, PREFERABLY DRY WHITE WINE. NOT SWEET WHITE WINE.

31. I WOULD ORDER HIM FLOWERS OR GREENERY ARRANGEMENTS WEEKLY, THAT HE COULD DECIDE, EVERY WEEK, IF HE WOULD LIKE FLOWERS OR GREENERY, TO BE PLACED IN HIS HOUSING.

32. I WOULD LET HANNIBAL HAVE SUPERVISED, OUTING EXCURSIONS, AT LEAST MONTHLY, TO PLACES LIKE THE BEACH, OR STATE PARK, ETC, OF NO MORE THAN 6 HOURS, WITH A MAXIMUM TIME INCLUDING DRIVING THERE AND BACK OF NO MORE THAN EIGHT HOURS, STARTING AT A MAXIMUM OF FOUR HOURS. IT IS HEALTHY MENTAL STIMULATION THAT IS NOT FOUND – ANYWHERE ELSE.

33. I WOULD THROW OUT ALL HIS FORMER CLOTHING.

34. I WOULD GIVE HIM A READING ASSIGNMENT EVERY WEEK, FOR HIM TO READ A REAL BOOK, AT LEAST ONE HOUR A DAY. HE DOES NOT HAVE TO WRITE ABOUT IT, LIKE A BOOK REPORT, UNLESS HE FEELS INCLINED TO, OR GOD TELLS HIM TO.

35. I WOULD HAVE HIM READ THE BIBLE FOR ONE HOUR A DAY, WHATEVER TIME OF DAY HE CHOOSES, TO RE-DIRECT HIS MIND. FOCUS HIM, CENTER HIM, AND TAKE HIS MIND TO ANOTHER PLACE.

36. I WOULD ORDER HIM AT LEAST ONE MONTHS SUPPLY OF B-COMPLEX VITAMINS, SUBLINGUAL B-12 VITAMINS, PREFERABLY LIQUID. I PREFER GARDEN OF LIFE VITAMINS. I WOULD LET HIM CHOOSE WHATEVER VARIETY OF GARDEN OF LIFE B-VITAMINS, HE WANTS, AND I WOULD START HIM WITH ONE B-COMPLEX WITH EVERY MEAL, THREE TIMES A DAY, AND THE SAME WITH THE LIQUID B-VITAMINS AS WELL.

37. I WOULD ORDER HIM ONE HOLY BASIL A DAY WITH A GLASS OF WATER FOR HIS ADREANAL GLANDS.

THIS WILL PROBABLY TAKE A TEAM OF 10 TO 20 PEOPLE TO HELP HANNIBAL WITH, AGAIN IF FEMALES OR WOMEN ARE PRESENT WITH HANNIBAL THERE MUST BE A MAN WITH THE FEMALE AND WOMAN, AT ALL TIMES, HE IS NOT TO BE ALONE WITH WOMEN. I WOULD ORDER THE SAME OF EVERYTHING FOR PAINTED JOSIAH BUNTING, IF HE SO CHOOSES. I WOULD ASK THAT THIS BE DONE IN THREE DAYS STARTING TOMORROW MORNING, NO LONGER THAN 7 DAYS OR A WEEK, NO EXCEPTIONS, NOT EVEN FOR THE NEW FLOORING, PAINT, OR BEDDING.

HANNIBAL IS NOT TO BE OVERWHELMED WITH THE DECISIONS AND RESEARCH, THE WARDROBE SHOULD TAKE NO LONGER THAN THREE HOURS, MAXIMUM FIVE HOURS IF YOU DRIVE THERE AND BACK (SOMEONE ELSE SHOULD DRIVE HIM OR THEM), IF HANNIBAL GETS TIRED, THE SAME VENTI LATTE WITH TWO SHOT OF ESPRESSO IN WHATEVER FLAVOR AND MILK HE CHOOSES WITH A BOTTLE OF WATER, IS ALL HE NEEDS.

SOMEONE(S) ELSE SHOULD PRESENT HANNIBAL WITH THE DECISIONS FOR HIM TO MAKE, INCLUDING IF HE ALLOWS SOMEONE ELSE TO CHOOSE FOR HIM, OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED ITEMS.

THIS IS JUST A START AND WHAT I WOULD DO IF I WAS IN CHARGE.

DON’T TRY AND TELL ME – YOU DON’T WANT TO BE TAKEN CARE OF – BY ME!
