Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. Sorry to hear about how things are being handled with COVID where you are. It's not much, but here's a dumb joke:
Hello Tony. Thing is it’s regular flu season now. The death toll from regular flu is approximately 200,000 Americans a year. And this is regular flu, not coronavirus. Do you get flu shots in prisons. In the U.K. most people have it. Flu can really mess with you. I know a guy whose girlfriend died from flu, she was only 25. It’s if it gets into your lungs and you get pneumonia or pleurisy. Creating some kind of lung exercising machine might help. In hospital they have that ping pong ball sucking up a hose thing. Or the expelling air tube thing. Just something with a bit of resistance that your lungs can challenge. The weather has deteriorated here in the U.K. it truly is Autumn now. I have a broken boiler and a leaky roof, so it ain’t looking good here. I read about the conditions in Mississippi jails with the brown water, mould growing and wildlife running rampant in the halls. If that happened in a U.K. jail, the inmates would be millionaires, the prison system is open for law suits. But unfortunately for you you are living in Penitentiary PLC. Hope the situation lifts for you soon. I’m sure it will. Keep writing, keep the world aware of what goes on behind the walls. T
Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. I apologize if I mis-wrote anything! Awesome to see you care about the Black LGBTQIA+ community, thank you.
Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. I hope you had a wonderful birthday. I also share your hope for reasonable and merciful sentencing guidelines. Take care. - Eva
My love... If only we had been this wise when we were younger....I look at young couples who seem to have it all together - oh, not financially nor monetarily - they still struggle to make ends meet - but emotionally. They are secure and happy in their lives, even when things are difficult. To be honest, I think that a big part (maybe all) of the difference is God...the people who are the most content live Godly lives. I do, often, look around for you when I read your words - especially if we’ve recently spoken - because I can hear you speak the words to me - and I am warm and secure - safe - wrapped in your arms. You are probably the only man I was never afraid of - I always knew you’d never hurt me physically - and the emotional hurts were never intentional - for either of us. I worry when I read your journal - about all the health stuff - wish you were next to me so that I could help to care for you. At the same time (you do remember my sick sense of humor) I chuckle about the state taking pieces of you slowly. My God, I’m macabre I love you - every day - I sleep and dream wrapped in your love.... Love - always and all ways Your Jeannie
Hello Johnny. Fellow Libran! It was my birthday on the 1st. I’m too old to even allow my fingers to type out my age here! Hope you had a great day, and that the year ahead will put you one foot ahead in being released. T
Hi William, thank you for writing. I finished the transcription for your post. Your words were very moving, and I cannot imagine what it's been like over the past couple of decades, but I want to wish you the best of luck with the reintegration process.
"I went to a psychic.
I knocked on her front door.
She yelled: “Who is it?”
So I left."
