The people on TV are like the little dude on Paradise Island, but instead of "De Plane, De Plane," it's: "De Base, De Base!"

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

A Balm For Stressful Times

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.

-----------------

I am We;
Todd did.
I am Sofa King
We,
Todd,
Did.

Take care of yourselves. Smile! :)

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 ?

Hi Piankhi, I was curious if I can deal with hieroglyphic writing still, almost 100% decoded! Warm greetings, I hope you are well, Julia

Comments made on these blogs that are specifically tied to public material regarding a case or an appeal are not "just" offensive. They are far more than offensive because information from posts can be shared with those incarcerated in the same prison or even in the same cell, through the telephone or email. This information sharing is wrong on several fronts. First, it can endanger the life of those who stand accused of crimes. Secondly, they assume guilt, as determined by the court, is truth. Anyone who has dealt with the system understands that the court does not always get it right. Sometimes guilt is capricious, decided by a pointing finger, circumstantial evidence, or prejudice and bias. Thirdly, sometimes a blogger is acting out from their own experience, in other words, they have an axe to grind or a chip on their shoulder. I apologize to you if my action offended you. Many things might be said about me, but judgmentalism is not one of them.
