This web blogging site is pretty interesting....I am currently in school and intested in psychology. I read your blog and no offense, but, it was a little vague..... How does a south bay boy go from the beach to the pen? I am just very curious to learn more about what exactly goes through someones mind from committing a crime, doing time, parole and then making a conscious decision to do something that will most likely land them back in prison. 25 to life is a crazy amount of time, especially for that offense. Did you know that you would most likely pick up that third strike? How has it affected your family? Where do they fit into all this? What do you plan on doing in the future?

At first, sorry for my mistakes in English, I am brazilian, and my English vocabulary is still poor. Second, I m only interest in friendship, nothing more. I read your very nice letter. I think you are very sensitive person. I can imagine how difficult is for you to be in a prison. If you dont mind, I would like to know why are you there? I am Portuguese and Literature teacher, I was born and raise in Brazil, Have you ever been here? Where are you from? What did you do before to be there? What are your favorite hobbies? food? book? movie? God bless you. Sincerely, Claudia
The rest of MIT might have other motives; but as for me: I work on this project because I want to change the way the general public perceives prisoners. I believe that we're all people, that we all have the possibility of screwing up, and that we all deserve a second chance. I think that punishment-focused incarceration is counter-productive; and social stigmatization of prisoners is even doubly counter-productive, for everyone involved.
That said, I agree that the framing is what it is: this is a blogging platform for prisoners, and each blogger is a prisoner. So people will already be thinking about that when they start reading. My hope is that if people come by and see thoughtful writing like what you have here, they will be surprised, for the better - because it doesn't match their stereotype of prisoners as heartless, thoughtless thugs.
My dad left when I was about 4. I didn't see him again until I was sixteen. There's many reasons why - at first when I was young my mom kept me from him, when I was older I didn't want to see he. By the time I got some maturity and some sense in my head when I was 18 I decided I needed to see him. It took some time but eventually I called him pops again. That was 25 years ago. I talk to him every day now.

Thanks for making me think!
Hang in.
That's a great line. I get it, I can see it, I can feel it.
