Thank you for writing this post. I have finished the transcription. I agree with your thoughts on mass-incarceration. It is a deep issue that is detrimental to peoples' mental and physical health. I want to ask you do you have ideas on what could be done to improve the current system? What I could do to work towards change with this issue? Thank you again for sharing your thoughts.

Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. Your ideas were well articulated, and I don't believe I have heard a similar perspective before so it was very interesting to read and think about what you had said.

hi George,

Talking of a choice... your people didn't make a good choice... but that is now the past.
This president is the man you need in these times.
I guess it's more peaceful nowadays.
I hope you read this letter?
Today, a letter left for America!

Leslie called tonight.
She asked how my back was? (the trapezius muscle) Well, it's moved upwards to the neck and the upper arms.
An RX and an echo showed I've an infection at the tendon called: Subscapularis and the Supraspinatus). On the first one I've an infection.I take some infection medication.I've another 18 sessions at the kinesist.3 tmes a week. Kinepoint luckily is not far away.

Everyday now I play piano for half an hour, classcical music and jazz.-smile

No news from Jessica yet. Did you get some news from her?

It's about time we pick up to write here, as we don't see each other anymore on video. :((

I read the comment having difficulties with writing words etc; it is happening here with people also.
It will restore within time, George.

A warm (((hug))) from Rita! x

Hi James,

First off, I'd like to say you're aan impressive writer. You have imagery concocted in my head!

I really liked the way you compared how it was and how it was then and how it is nw. So sad.

Can you elaborate on what you meant when you just hold your breath at low tide?

I really enjoyed transcribing your letter and writing to you!

When is your out date? What state are you in?

I hope to hard back from you soon, James!

Best Regards,

EndSolitary (Lisa xoxo)

Hello Anthez

It doesn't appear like there's been any meaningful continuity in communique during the oandown lockdown Glad you liked the oysters and pearls. One of the few times I got to use oils and pastels. We have to be supervised when we use those. Now we're locked down tight. About 50 staff and nantes infested with covid in this prison. So luxuries like oil pastels for convicts not a big priority!

Can you tell that way back long ago before prison I use I to rive for lobsters close to shore? I had tanks, but I usually didn't use them, they're heavy). I'd just hold my breath at low todar. I miss all that sincerely.

James

Thanks for writing! I worked on the transcription for your post. You had quite a lot to say and it was really interesting to learn a little more about your life in prison, especially the changes made during quarantine.

Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. Beautiful poetry! Excellent use of personification and metaphors to portray the feeling of crying.
