I've just finished the transcription for your post. Would you say then that America is currently guilty of as severe crimes as Nazi Germany, or worse? Personally I do not agree. I also don't agree with you that murder is a justifiable response to an ill. You say in your profile that you cannot blame everyone around you for your life...I can have no opinion on that as I don't know you, but what's changed? Do you still have Faith?
you're tattoos are awesome I love you're back tat and ( from you're picture)!you're bread is the effing best! I wish I could grow bread like that.. but I'm a girl.. oh well.
Dear Rodney, I really enjoyed transcribing your post. You seem like a thoughtful guy. A woman myself, I appreciate when a man can notice and admire someone strong and feminine like Michelle. Thanks for taking the time to write and submit to Between the Bars. I hope you find your Michelle!
Doug - your open, honest communication INTRIGUES me. Something tells me you WILL make parole in 2014. Please continue to use your communication skills to your advantage.
I'm going to snail mail you a letter. In the interim, take care and know that you're not alone. People truly do care about inmates are upfront, honest and capable of change.
Hey Ronnie its john Damn you can draw good i like your art work i hope you have ok holidays try to hang in there i will write you some more i got your card you mailed me it was real nice i got it on my wall talk to you latter
I find that everything you write in you're blog posts are always so honest and it's wonderful. I think it's great that you admit to the 'silly' things in you're past and be wide opened through social networking.
This one post hits me an awful lot. I feel like its relates to someone very close to me, my sister. I believe that every word you said about being there for someone, and just talking to them and basically every thing you said to the very end is exactly right. My older sister, now 21, is a drug addicted. She also started at a very young age when we moved she did start hanging around the wrong people but I believe that is was something to do with a past 'situation' that happened when she was little, it didn't involve family but basically a stranger. I remember when I was 10, being around her and her friends all high as a kite and also being the time I caught my sister, cutting and not really knowing what to do really gave me mixed signals so when i hit highschool i thought thats what i was meant to be doing, doing drugs, drinking constantly but i got my head screwed on pretty fast and realised that wasn't the path i wanted for myself. That was also because of my sister telling me that 'she had made many mistakes and she wont let me become her' All the silly things my sister has done just to get whatever she can get her hands, really did break down my family and still is to a extinict. Although through all the shit she caused my mum, dad and myself. All the fights, no matter what we still stuck by her, my parents still do/did everything they possibly can. Sticking by her, through hard times did get her to sobered up, she got a steady job and life went back to normal. It latest for two years, I don't know what went wrong, I don't really care because I know, no matter what my big sister is still there. And she's still has a good heart. When I do see her or even if I don't I'm still texting/calling her making sure she's alright, making sure she knows I'm here, it's does help. (to anyone reading this comment it really does help if you are in a similar situation) It was easier before, now she's 21 my parents don't have any legal right to help her really, besides very minor things. I can't trust my sister without thinking shes going to steal, or do something just to feed her drug habit. But I know I count on her being their for me, because she always has, just us being their for each other. Although it may sound silly.
Sorry for my extremely long rant, but I'm glad I came across you're post. It did help me, and it may have proven to me that I might be doing the right thing.
