That was beautiful! When our children get to this stage of realising what matters, we know we've done a good job as mothers :)

Thank you for this post. I've replicated it today as part of a University assessment. I hope you don't mind (I promise I referenced you correctly :) I'm doing an ethnographic study into a virtual network over several weeks & your post related to this weeks material.

Your art is very striking, I do hope you're able to continue! As for it being seditious... I can't see any sign of that either - not even if I turn it upside down. Maybe that was his new word of the day & he didn't quite get the context... who knows...

Can you tell me, please, what "strong, mentally tough, loving, caring, kind, compassionate, intelligent woman" would choose a LWOP or death row inmate as her mate? I know that some women do. I've read about them. Special kind of crazy (in my book). My man will have to come home reasonably after work. My man will suffer my spaghetti dinners and cheap wine - and take out the garbage in the morning. My man will take my dearest treasures (my grandkids) to McDonalds on sunday morning while grandma sleeps. My man will sleep like he's never slept before when we finally get to bed.

Please stop with the lovefest stuff. I read somewhere you posted about all the "love" proposals you've gotten (mostly out of the US)?

Stop whining. You did your crime now you'll do your time. To think you would be advertising for a "lover" on a blog is pathetic. I guess you didn't learn your lesson (or she didn't) from your last liason?

I didn't know much about this person but I got to this website and read some of his postings. I must also voice my disdain that Ronald Clark decides he needs a woman. I did a quick google search about the attempted helicopter escape. If I voiced my thoughts about a "man" that would put a woman at risk you probably wouldn't print it. Having read (and enjoyed) most of Mr Clark's writings - I find this latest article about LOVE deeply disturbing and dishonest.

I've been wanting to leave a reply on this post but have been thinking for the last few hours about what to say. I knew immediately that what you described here was wrong, but my mind wasn't processing it, not the way I wanted to make sense of what you said at least. It seems to be easier to comprehend if I switch the genders... a female prisoner, being watched by a male guard - then it makes sense in my mind how wrong it is.

Then I think about 'that' & the way I needed to process your pain and I realise that's how we're conditioned, so then I'm left thinking about how wrong THAT is also. Obviously sexual harrassment is sexual harrassment in all its forms!

I guess a prison sentence means losing 2 things immediately, the first being freedom and the second privacy but what you've described here is more than that. You have to consent to losing your privacy but you should never have to trade your dignity (which is how I have understood what you're saying here).

What you describe is definately a power imbalance and it seems that at the very least, these female guards need re-training. It's one thing to do your job and all it entails, but it's another to violate someone's dignity in that process. I am sorry this has happened to you. It's not ok.
