William,

Let me explain about bulletin boards like Between the Bars. Many, many people read every post. I have been reading here for a long time, perhaps even ten years. Just because people do not reply does not mean they do not read. People often don't know what to say. Sometimes people are at a loss of how to relate to someone whose life reality is so much different than their own. Other people seek to relate for reasons that are their own, not for the benefit of the incarcerated. I am different because I fit in neither of those categories. I have many correspondence inside, so I am well aware of the lifestyle and I seek nothing from anyone. I do actively seek criminal justice reform. What I do is a ministry of listening, I listen. So, when I read your poem, I heard you. Your message deserves to be heard, William. Do not stop trying to communicate. Believe me, other people 'heard' you, even if their response was not verbal. Posts are an echo through time that lives on, even after this physical reality is gone. This letter seeks to encourage you to continue writing. All the best, John

Hello. I don't know if you remember me, but I remember you from when you work at baywoods apartments in Antioch. U worked with my "dad" Billy. I'm so sorry to hear about everything. I hope you're doing well for the most part. I remembered you after all these years and I'm glad I finally found you. I know you may never get this, but it was worth a chance to talk to you again. Take care

Hi Robert, this is Greg Outman . Wayne's son, I last saw you in 1993 I believe. I'm certainly saddened by your situation and wish things were different. I've been married to a wonderful woman for the last 9 years, and have a whole bunch of grandchildren. Unfortunately I have diabetes as well as other problems. I'm thinking that I won't be around very much longer actually. I agree with a lot of your points actually. I do wish things had been different
Outside of my cousin's I don't really see anybody else in the family. Things have been pretty tough out here as well unfortunately. My prison is my health. And I won't be getting out alive. Well I do think about you and Hope you can find some peace as I am trying to do myself. Thanks

Thanks for writing! Your transcription was fairly easy because it was already typed out. Thank you!

Hi, my name is conner tucker, until about the age of 9 i was convinced Doy Tucker was my biological grandfather (because of my last name). i was told by my mom (my dads first baby momma out of 4)a belief of what happened and the truth about you being my grandfather. i know my dad (Eric Tucker) reached out a while back and never got a response which really bummed him out. I've always read your letters online. I am 15 years old now and ill be 16 in a couple days. i got my own vehicle and i guess i get some genes from you because I am on probation until the end of April for one of my charges last year. I do not know what my goal was other than to introduce myself. when my mom gets her own place and I am not bouncing between friends' couches, I am considering maybe writing a paper note because i recognized you and my father both have sloppy hand writing, as i dont.
