JoePutin100, (Took THIS long to get your comments!) Still LOLing at the screenname. :) Your comment to Tervin over "the Parent Test: Addendum" post says a lot more, and I replied to you there in a combined response with AbolishBorders. I really appreciate your insights and general vibe. Thanks. No one has commented on this post for a long time. I'd tried to speak to reasonably with Tenzin when she first appeared here, but she shot back with more toxicity and I decide to leave it alone. I regretted it for a long time, but I'm trying to make-up for it by setting the record straight over at "Parent Test." Who knows, maybe some of this unpleasant exchange will be of some value to a reader or two. I hope others follow your lead and comment, though! It's always nice to see people reading, but it's EXTRA impacted for everyone to see people take a stand against this kind of bullying, and frankly, the ignorance of assuming that prisoners necessarily did what the cops say they did. We often didn't! Thanks again, Dym.
Will be heading to the cemeteries here later this month and one stop will be your Grandma's. You,your brothers and mother were always in her thoughts and prayers. So wish she could have seen you before she passed.
So wish I could have reconnected with your mother. As a child I absolutely adored her.The last time I saw her was when your family moved from Monroe.
As I sit in a prison cage for my 18th year of my 50 years to life sentence, I am ashame I once participated in the genocidal culture of gangs. It breaks my heart to hear how our young people are murdering one another in honor of gangs. For too many generations we continue to lose our children to prison and/or senseless gang violence. when will we decide enough is enough?
It is my belief, that only us who understand and lived the gang culture can stop it. How? First, by telling the unequivocated truth about the fruitless and calamitous nature of gangs. Those of us in prison know the truth. And the truth is; we have thrown our lives away in honor of gangs who have taught us nothing but how to fail, destroy, and victimize our communities and families. Now we perish in prison cells, miserable, feeling shameful, missing our families, fed up with prison and, facing the dire reality that many of us will die in prison. But yet many of my fellow incarcerated brothers, still get on the phone with our youth and pretend to be thriving gangmembers(we all know what I am talking about). when in reality we are dejected, depressed, and hate each and everyday we wake up in prison, especially those of us with life sentences.
Unfortunately, due to misguidance, many of our youth idolize and look up to us in prison. which gives us an opportunity to use our influence to tell our youth, "there is no joy or honor in rottening away in a prison cage!"
So my question to you is; how much longer will you sit idle and enable our youth to follow us into lives of Jail Cells and coffins?
With that said, today I call on all of us who know better, to do better! By telling the truth, to our youth!

Hi free people!! This is Jimmy. I am incarcerated at Mule Creek State Prison. I am interested in anyone who would like to talk back and forth. If you are interested in emailing me then contact gettingout.com. I look forward in meeting you over some shared interests. I am not looking for any relationships, just a voice that I can enjoy to take away from the hard edge of prison life. Hope to hear from you soon.
Dear Dori; Do hope this is finding you and yours doing well? I would just like to take this time for you responding to my blog site. What a surprise to get it in the mail and what a good blessing it was, as well as very uplifting for me at the time; plus someone on my mothers side of family is a gift.
You made me so happy to know even though I'm locked away, that true family; that you've never met before, let's you know that I wasn't forgotten by family. So many miracles have came into my life since my mom's death, and it seems that it doesn't stop these past 10 yrs. Hope it never does! Thank you so much and may you be blessed. Always: Richard
Please read the following lines and try repeating them when you are feeling anxious or upset. Sorry, I don't know the original Japanese, but this a pretty faithful translation. Just say them out loud.
I find it works best to repeat them like a mantra, speaking clearly and steadily, where others can hear you. You might prefer to do it with one person or a small group. I promise, you'll find you feel better in no time. There's a lot to be said for the ancient Eastern meditation wisdom!
Get comfortable. Get relaxed. Speak clearly and loud. Repeat at least three or four times.
Thank you for posting this. The book is also a valuable resource for eroding stereotypes about people who are in carceral settings because it addresses how certain patterns of thinking are built. Wish i could have access to the whole book. Hope you can post more pages in the future.
I came across your case yesterday, and the details of it are horrific to say the least. I’m not here to bash or criticize you, that would only lead to more negativity, but after reading your post I’ve come to the realization that you are not only imprisoned physically, but also mentally and spiritually. You are not at peace with yourself, and this is due to the fact that you have refused to take accountability for what happened. Without taking accountability, how can you then in turn forgive yourself? Forgiveness of one’s self is what leads to inner peace within one’s self. I know the thirst for physical freedom will cause you to continue to refuse taking accountability, but I promise you that if you continue to go down this path then you will never truly be free even in the rare event that you are physically set free from behind those walls. Without seeking inner peace you will forever be imprisoned in the two worse prisons of them all which are the mental and spiritual. You now know what you need to do to truly free yourself, but the question is will you actually do it ?
