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.

Thanks for writing! I worked on the transcription for your post. You're an incredible writer and I appreciate the detail of what you write. I'm sorry to hear about the situation with the Warden and the Commissary, I'll do my best to reach out to a Congressman about your situation. Take care, and have a nice Valentine's Day as well!

Hello Moe.
Hope you are well and staying safe and strong. We are in a lockdown here in the U.K., looking at three months of it now we have a mutant strain of COVID-19 direct from South Africa. Easier to transmit and of course deadlier. I continue to test negative. Not through a robust immune system though, mostly because I keep the hell away from people. My anti social personality works in my favour at last! My dad has myeloid leukaemia so his immunity is low, and we are living with him at the moment. Keep those germs at bay. Prison is a terrifying prospect, just a Petri dish of bacteria and transmitability. Hope you are keeping a regime of protection, even with the bare minimum.
I’m sort of moving back into favour with JayZ. I really liked him, then didn’t, but now I think he might be a silent genius. He understands how to make money from assets. Something I never did, born poor, will die poor. I particularly liked his Story of OJ, that was astonishingly brave. A great critic on modern society and attitudes of race. The Black Lives Matter movement needs to move smart, all their good work can be undone with one ill prepared rally, or people connected to it messing up. It looks good so far and I believe has been nominated for a Nobel peace prize. But unfortunately so has Trumps son in law Jared Kushnerfor his work bringing Israel and Morocco together. We will see how that works. It won’t. Too much enmity in Islam to want a peaceful coexistence with Israel. Not in our lifetime. There will be peace in the Middle East, but the people who will orchestrate it successfully haven’t been born yet. Ice Cube and Lil Waynes previous comments regarding Trump have stuck in my craw. So Lil Wayne’s ass kissing got him a pardon and saved himself ten years in jail, I suppose in his position I probably would’ve don’t the same. Except these are important changing times, and all the protagonists on the world stage during these strange times will be recorders of history, and recorded by it.
You are free to borrow my mental gentrification phrase. I actually made that up myself. You have to pay me ten dollars every time you use it in a sentence!!!!!
Keep on keeping on. Look after yourself.
