⚡ 336 DAYS SHAKEN ⚡
An Exposé by LeRoy Nellis II
From August 9, 2024, until July 10, 2025—three hundred and thirty-six days—my body was a tuning fork and the jail was the hand striking it. This wasn’t a guard roughing me up for a few minutes. It wasn’t an isolated outburst. It was engineered torture, running for almost a year, day after day, night after night, until my chest, my nerves, my very sense of self felt like they belonged to the machine.
The floors weren’t just poured concrete. They were wired.
The walls weren’t just cinderblock. They breathed.
The bed wasn’t just steel and bolts. It hummed like it had a motor inside.
I could lay my palm flat and feel it vibrate back, like it was alive, like it was whispering:
You’re mine now.
Dialed low, it left me stumbling like I was drunk.
Dialed high, my eyes jittered in my skull, my teeth chattered, and my heart pounded so hard I thought it would burst through my ribs.
For 336 days, my body was played like an instrument, and the room was the musician.
This wasn’t punishment.
This was science twisted into cruelty.
This was a program.
🧠 The Physiological Wreckage
- Heart overload: pounding chest, copper taste in my mouth, adrenaline spikes that never cooled.
- Nerves lit up: fire-ant crawling pain when my real meds were denied.
- Muscles strained: joints aching, vision tunneling until hallucinations arrived like clockwork every seventy-two hours.
🕳 The Psychological Toll
Solitary is supposed to erase you.
With the shaking added, it became an erasure machine on steroids.
Time didn’t move—it dripped.
Meals shoved through the slot were my only clock.
Slot slams—always twice, bang then bang again—became the punctuation of my life.
Every slam said the same thing:
We own your body. We own your sanity. We own your heartbeat.
🧾 The Lie They Branded Into Me
Here’s the truth:
I passed an independent psychiatric exam two weeks before they branded me “crazy.”
Stamped competent. Sane. Stable.
That was documented fact.
Yet when I called my father, desperate, voice cracking after another session of shaking, his answer was flat:
“You need to go get you some help.”
Psychiatrist help. Shrink help.
In other words: you’re crazy.
Even my blood echoed the lie the program wanted to brand into me.
That betrayal cut deeper than the machines.
🌐 The Law Is Clear
The United Nations Mandela Rules say anything over 15 days in solitary confinement is torture.
Amnesty International. Physicians for Human Rights. Harvard Law.
They’ve all said the same thing.
I didn’t do fifteen days.
I did three hundred and thirty-six.
I lived almost a year of torture that the international community says should never happen at all.
🧩 The System Was Designed
It wasn’t random.
It was systemic.
A design.
Cracks in the concrete showed the stress points where the machines were bolted in.
Deputies laughed about “programs.”
Medical staff dosed me with insulin I didn’t need, stimulants I didn’t consent to, and then lied to my family by writing “suicide watch” in the paperwork.
Every element—from food poisoning with eyedrops, to kiosk sabotage, to vibrating floors—was part of the same orchestration:
Break the man. Harvest the plea. Bury the evidence.
I survived 336 days of it.
The walls shook me.
The floor rattled me.
The bed played me like a drum.
They wanted me erased.
They wanted me labeled insane.
They wanted me gone.
But I don’t fucking lose.
This isn’t memoir for sympathy.
This is testimony.
This is evidence.
This is a record of one of the longest, most deliberate shaking torture programs ever carried out inside an American jail.
And it happened in Williamson County, Texas.
Remember that number: 336 days.
That’s not incarceration.
That’s state-engineered torture.
