Hello eric its kyla again. I hope you dont mind me asking what you meant about being a typical inmate. If im going to be honest i want your insight. What would make you trust a prison counsler? I want to be a corrections counsler for 2 reasons. 1. Because i want to impact others lives and make them feel like they arent alone and 2. I feel like as an idivdual i can learn alot. Thank you for taking the time out of ypur day tp write back :)
Hello jack its kyla again, i was looking into being a counsler in a prison. I love helping people and veing someone that is easy to talk to. My friends come to me for advice or to vent about anything. And one day i got to thinking about inmates and how you have all the time in the world to sit in your thoughts. People shouldnt have to bottle things in. I am the person to bottle my emotions up until i burst, but for me if i were to at least help one person or have the oppurtunity to impact someone elses i would be entirley grateful. And you dont have to worry about the time. I have plenty of patience. But what i had written you for was to see how i could be a good counsler. What kind of stuff would make you trust a counsler with helping you on a bad day? Would i be more effective if i went above and beyond my work and did daily check ups? I really do appreciate you for taking the time to write to me. I hopw you are having a wonderful day
Hello! I hope this finds you well. I have been reading your posts and I read your bio on fossilsandfeathers.org and I must say it is truly incredible. I grew up in such a very average and normal (I guess we should define normal! Haha) household where nothing ever happened that I can’t imagine the things you went through and endured. It is truly remarkable what you have overcome and I applaud you! I’m sorry for your recent loss. I lost my mother at 25 and I’m now 45 so I struggled with that loss and still do to this day. I’m a cancer survivor, I had AML leukemia and thought that I was a warrior but after reading your story I realize maybe I haven’t had it so rough. Anyway, I wish the best to you and your daughter. Best wishes! Heather
Eric, hope all is relatively well on your end. John here, UNCguy. Just poked in to the site to see whats new in your world. I see you are trying to come up with new things to write about. You may not realize it but you have much to offer in this, as your situation is (in my opinion) one of the most intriguing and interesting to me. Not because I want to be there obviously, but because it's kind of a glimpse into the rawest form of human interaction -- and hearing your perspective is like hearing what I would perceive/think in those situations. So even something you'd consider boring to us, it'd probably be interesting to hear what that "boring something" is like -- in prison. You know, as in -- I don't know, maybe -- you accidentally bump into somebody walking down the street. Usually it's an "excuse me" and you're both on your way. And, maybe it's the same way in prison -- or maybe it's not. Maybe there is that element of people trying to project toughness and a tiny accident turns into an ugly incident on a regular basis there. I have no idea. So please fire away with anything you have in mind.
With that said, here are a couple questions that just popped into my mind:
1. Leaving out what you've already written about, what "codes" or unwritten laws are there in prison that, perhaps, most people would not know about? Do's and don'ts, etc.
2. Are there whole days that you don't feel fear for your safety? Or is it everyday? Or is it basically never? I'm sure it depends on the facility and if you're dorm or private room.
3. What do you miss the most about the outside?
4. What about yourself has changed the most since being in?
5. Do you have any more "business" ideas for the future, like your candy-selling endeavor?
Hey, my name is Eagle. Never have I met you, but I'm sitting here at my work and you were on Netflix. The Lord pulled at me to reach out to you. Stranger things have always happened. Lord has gifted me with the ability to free style. Here very soon I'm going to be lyrically spreading the gospel and the good news Lord has done for me. I'd like to figure out a way to be able to visit you if possible. How are you? Are you eating okay? Check it... Beloved think it not strange the fiery trial that is to try you as tho some strange thing has happened unto u. But rejoice inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed you shall also be with exceeding joy. Praying for you Chris. I love you. Keep your head up. You are loved. You are enough. "I'm not a monster. I am you". This worlds gonna suck but God's got you. Steady. For the love of water, please stay hydrated and continue growing.
