To Whom It MayConcern-
1. MDOC systems seek to starve prisoners by denying them essential nutrients like amino acids. They stylize everything after a starch/carbohydrate – leaving many normally FIT prisoners obese. If they have a nutritionist on staff, she's probably locked in the closet with a ball gag in her mouth. I am not surprised that Tim has some extra weight, and neither should you be. If you were that smart, you would know why Tim is overweight – it's obvious you lack.

2. Because the Massachusetts Department of corrections is SOOOOO effective, we have a 47% recidivism rate in the state. I don't know about you but I want my money back. I'm not blaming prisoners for that – I'm blaming the corrupt system to send them out ill prepared to rejoin society as a normal human being. What the fuck are they doing with all that money?

Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. I pray you have gotten to see your mom and brother by the time you get this. I think it's great you were inspired by the volunteers and have been able to make changes in your life. I will join you in praying for your mom. Take care.

hello Robert,

No,one can't have too many friends, indeed. :)

I read the most of your letters, and I see the human side of you in the way you wrote about all the themes you touched.I can recognize the energy of goodwill, Robert.And that's why I am writing you.
Who am I, you'll ask? Let me introduce myself now.A Belgian woman,68yrs but feeling young(it's all in the mind), having pen pals in American prisons. From one inmate who I wrote today, Sunday 17th, I came through somebody's latter to your profile, Robert.And all has a reason. Nothing happens just like that. So, here I am.-smile
There is a lot with what I am occupied. That's for later, I guess.
I lived 7 yrs in America: Utah, 3 yrs and Ohio, 4 yrs.
Later on I lived with my family almost 6 yrs in Buenos Aires,Argentina.And yes, I had studied Spanish way back in time, Robert.Now I study Italian. I speak several languages.:) Love to learn them!
I am a creative woman and always on the go.Sportive as well.
I paint,draw,play the piano and write,also poetry,like you!I am a social individual.Could I read some of your poems, Robert?

My ex lives still in Argentina- we're still befriended-but I moved back to Belgium in 2007.We've two daughters: one lives in BE,the oldest (37) and the youngest(36), born in Utah, now recently moved with her Belgian husband towards CA, San Diego.They have two kids: a boy of 7 and a girl of 5. The daughter in BE has a 2yr old girl and had a boy born on the 28th of January.:)
Well, that will be it for now. I hope you like my new friendship.
Take care! Rita

Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. Well said. I wonder if you will get a response from the Governor's Office.

Thank you so much for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. My husband and I spent quite a while discussing what you had written so clearly; a lot of it already being things He knew and had previously discussed with me. I learned from your writing and for that I thank you. I agree it should be one world for us all, and live in hope it will happen during my lifetime. It all depends on how we teach our children and their willingness to stand up for what is right to effect the changes needed. I hope a lot more people get to read what you have written. Thanks again. Take care.

hi George,

I wondered if you'll read this? And if you still are in segregation? Our visits were so short- you were cuffed... cuffs of 'injustice' :(( I came from that far... to see you that little as 4 hours, behind glass... Is that the way America treats his sons, I wrote to Jessica. I remembered her of your position, George. Just in case!
Only for having a socialistic activism Newsletter in your possession! One you got all the time in the past.
Is that called wrong doing? Who should be punished,I ask you?
And you couldn't even warn me before I came to visit. Can wardens go ahead and just go away with it?!
I hope you were able to call your dad? I will give him a call tomorrow to know what Internal Affairs decided.
My real hope is that you are out by now... , but I fear it's not yet the end.
Gera knows by now. Just terrible,she wrote! No words for it, my love.
I will send more letters just to cheer you up in these hard times, George. :))
Take very well care of yourself, and remember always that I am there to care for you.
For you: 'The mind who believes immovably in a far,and beautiful goal,is able to keep the vital strength who leads him trough daily life.'- Gustav Stresemann.

Your sweetie, Rita xxx
