Hi Roland! Thank you so much for your response it was so thorough. Just to let you know I asked these questions for a psychology class that I am taking in college. I am doing research on human interactions and how a lack of intimate contact can change a persons personality and outlook on life. I am specifically looking at correction systems. I asked men and women about how they deal with the lack of contact with each other and I have found similar results in some instances and very different results in others. It seems that masturbation is a similar thing that men and women both use as a coping mechanism to deal with the lack of contact in prison. ( Dont blame anyone for that. lol. Got to have some kind of fun in prison I bet. I know I would ;) ) Also most men responded with saying they have a stronger appreciation of women than before they were in prison. Women seem to just miss the interaction in general with men. Roland I appreciate you responding and I really do enjoy all of your blog posts. I will keep reading and feel free to comment back on this and maybe we can keep this conversation going or whatever you would like to talk about. I am doing research and my paper wont be due until the end of the semester so I could alway use more inspiration on what to look up and dive deeper into this topic. It was interesting to see your perspective with having a conjugal visit. It is also very interesting that California has eliminated pornographic material. I think it is very unhealthy for any human being to not have any form of sexual release. I would be curious to hear what you think this does to people in prison? Do people get around this or are they very strict? I feel this would create a very hostile and angry environment if people can not release themselves. Do more people result in turning "gay" because of this? Do you think conjugal visits help control peoples behavior knowing it could be taken away? Do california prisons look down on any masturbation or do they look the other way? That is all the questions I have for now. Answer all or whatever questions you feel comfortable answering. Also you can add any info you think would be helpful for my research. Thank you again Alyssa :)

Hello Nate! Thank you so much for your response to my questions. I really loved your responses and your wittiness ;). Just to let you know I asked these questions for a psychology class that I am taking in college. I am doing research on human interactions and how a lack of intimate contact can change a persons personality and outlook on life. I am specifically looking at correction systems. I am glad I stumbled upon this blog website. This is going to give me a first hand perspective into the system through people like you. Your responses were very thorough and will help me immensely. One thing you said and other people have said is that people seem to appreciate women much differently than before they were in prison. People also talked about being reserved when they get out of prison and also scared of women. Another thing men and women both talk about is they masturbate in prison to cope with the lack of intimacy. These are just a few things I wanted to share that I have found so far and I appreciate you helping add to this data. If you can think of anything else that might help with my research I would really appreciate it. I really like your blog posts and I hope you continue to write. I guess I have a few more questions to ask if you dont mind answering if not, no big deal. Does your state offer conjugal visits? if so do you see any difference in men who get them? if not do you think it would help or not? Do you have access to regular pornography magazines? Do prisons discourage masturbation or allow it openly? Do you think some men abstain from masturbation and show other forms of emotions to overcome these frustrations (like anger, depression)? Do men who have a significant others on the outside act any differently than men who dont have a significant other on the outside from your observations? That is all I can think of for now. If you dont feel like answering these questions dont feel obligated. I want you to be as comfortable as possible. I really appreciate anything you can answer. If you can think of anything else that might help let me know. Also I shared your blog on my facebook to hopefully get you more followers. I really love your writing. Thank you again Alyssa :)

I am glad I stumbled upon this blog website. This is going to give me a first hand perspective into the system through people like you. Your comment on missing the scent of a women and just their touch seems to be very consistent among men in prison. People seem to appreciate women much differently than before they were in prison. People also talked about being reserved when they get out of prison and also scared of women.

Hi Robert! Thank you so much for your response it was so thorough. I see someone commented above me with a negative comment but you did nothing wrong. You answered all the questions that I asked. I really loved your responses. Just to let you know I asked these questions for a psychology class that I am taking in college.

I am doing research and my paper wont be due until the end of the semester so I could alway use more inspiration on what to look up and dive deeper into this topic. I appreciate that you respect BTB and didnt want to be blunt. (Even though I wish I could read more steemy writing other than bland research papers ;) lol.) I can also be very blunt so I appreciate that quality in anyone else who has it. I dont care what I say or how I say it. haha. On that note, Im sorry you have been in prison for how long you have been without intimate contact. That should really be a crime in itself. So many studies show how bad that is for the human body and mind. I wish I could help :). I guess I have a few more questions to ask if you dont mind answering if not, no big deal.

Hi sweetie
A really brief note so you know the cataract surgery went well - now hopefully I'll be able to see in a few more days. Of course things did go slightly off plan - my cornea is swollen so I can't see on that side should clear up in about 2 weeks and then they will schedule the right eye
Anyway this is just to let you know I'm fine and thinking o you

Love you. :)

Their actions not only snuffed out a 14 year old child’s life but also negatively changed the lives of that child’s whole family. To me that is even more unjust to my family then what happened to Mr. Rose not getting his proper medication.

Again, individual responsibility goes a long way. The action of these four men wasn’t sporadic as they left and came back hours and hours later. They had much time to think about falling back instead of driving a 60 mile round trip just to come back emptying a magazine of 9mm bullets into a crowd with woman and children in it. There is no excuse in the world for inhumane crimes against our children. In fact I feel that with the system being so flawed it is that much more of a reason we should work on ourselves. The real victim here was 14 year old Daniel “D.J.” Correia who at the tender age of 14 was fighting for change and would have grown to be a fighter had he was given the chance.

I will always hope for change that will bring out the best in everyone and will never give up. It will one day come but we as a people need to hold ourselves just as accountable as we hold the system. It is only then we will see the change we all seek. It won’t be easy.

Respectfully,

Michael Jo Santos

Dear Mr. Timothy Muise,

My name is Michael Jo Santos and I am the brother of the 14 year old child that was murdered by Timothy Reeves, Scott Rose, Richard Hazard and Michael Coul. As I appreciate your diligence for well needed change I feel that your readers are not getting the whole story, at least when it comes to your article in reference to Scott Rose. Before I begin please know that I empathize with the families of the four individuals that were convicted because just like my family they lost someone also. They are grieving as my family is grieving. In fact when we heard the news about Scott Rose someone said to me “you must be happy” and my reply was “why would I be happy? This not only doesn’t bring my brother back but now his family is grieving even harder. “

I noticed that in your article you failed to mention my 14 year old brother who was murdered before his life even began. In fact this happened in my presence and it almost destroyed me. No mention in your article on the families that were destroyed, (not just mine but the convicted) just the system that seems to punish more than it does rehabilitate. You see, I am a firm believer that the justice system needs a huge makeover and has been long overdue. I also believe that with the 13th amendment having a loophole that states (and I’m paraphrasing) Slavery is unconstitutional unless one is a prisoner needs to be amended so there isn’t incentive to criminalize people for profit. However, I also believe in personal responsibility.

I am aware of all the obstacles we face with poverty, guns, drugs, mental instability and the list goes on and the prison systems that need to be restructured in a way that the recidivism rate declines to the highest minimum. With that said I am going to quote a great man you should research that I refer to as the father of the West African revolution and sparked the armed struggle for the Portuguese colonies of Africa, His name is Amilcar Cabral. “Who is this enemy who dominates us, stubbornly scorning all laws, all international legality and morality? This enemy is not the Portuguese people, nor even Portugal itself: for us, fighting for the freedom of the Portuguese colonies, the enemy is Portuguese colonialism” What he meant by that was it was the system, not the people that was in need of change and so the people wasn’t the enemy. He knew as human beings we all want the same things in life.

I don’t think that what you’re fighting against is a Josh Wall problem and it seems that he and a few correctional officers being targeted in your writings and being classified as “murderers” defeats your purpose and is to me a false statement. They are human beings, they’re not the system. They have families and problems just like any other person. I feel that you calling them murderers but painting Scott Rose as the victim of Josh Wall is wrong.... (Continued in next box)

Hello Harlan, I, for one, look forward to your blogs. I like to hear your opinion on all these many topics. Your beliefs coincide with my own. I, too, have been very disappointed in our elected leaders. And in those who elected them. I am incredulous! As a former teacher, I feel Governor Walker has given teachers a very bad rap. He has certainly discouraged them, disparaged them, and made good ones leave the profession. And all of these issues that we discuss today pertain to the education of our young.
(FYI, I am still using the dish cloths that were made by your hands years ago.)

Be well and be blessed, Harlan.
Michele
