This inmate is not a liason to the Lifers Group inc. He has very recently been returned to Norfolk. He has spent the last 5 years at Shirley Medium during which time he had nothing good to say about Norfolk Lifers Group.
Appending his name to their content is despicable.
Dear Shawn Thanks so much for answering. I was never sure if you ever ended up finding out................about sweet Auntie Carol?? She passed away quite unexpectedly in August of 2014. So sad. I speak to Franny once every while. I was so sorry to see her go. Take care Peter
Hello Richard, I can't even imagine what it's like to be with another person 24/7. I'm female, but male and female would probably annoy me the same. Like you - I need my alone time. I think everyone does. Prison in America sounds so bad in general. I'm from Switzerland and when I look at some prisons in other countries I can't believe what I'm seeing. What a great country America is... Yeah right. Here, inmates are at least still seen as humans. The only thing that is just plain stupid is that sometimes drugdealers get more time than killers or rapists. Hello? Stupiiiiid. Mind if I ask why you are in prison?
Alright, keep doing what you're doing George! Keep studying and thinking about what you can -- it makes for a brighter and more full human person. If you can, let me know what's going on. Take care now. --Calhoun25
Hey George! I hope everything has been relatively restful for your 2016. I've been thinking about your description of the shakedowns. Sometimes when people are in an authoritative position, they rationalize unjust treatment under the guise of "necessary to discharging one's duties". They should not treat your belongings so (deliberately?) without care. To be fair, it is a very natural inclination. Some school teachers are unfairly harsh on their students, but think it justified because the only way to teach them. A healthy dose of patience, understanding, and peace can fix these situations up. In fact, I think this dose would go a long way in fixing broken marriages! Sometimes I wonder whether we treat strangers better than those we know by day-to-day interaction.
Now about the politics. I am sure you heard about Brexit! David Cameron is no longer the prime minister; the EU referendum was in effect a vote of no confidence. Based upon the little I know, I judge there will be negative economic consequences, both in and out of Britain. Supporters of Brexit would likely contend that (1) there are benefits of increased sovereignty and border control; and that (2) these outweigh the negative economic costs. If you learn anything more about Brexit, let me know!
I hope you find another kitten as companion. Sometimes I think dogs and cats understand one's feelings better than other people! I've never owned a cat or dog, but it might be something I look into later on. Some breeds require a lot of space and attention; others are more low-key and low-maintenance. I have had some pet birds, though. They were pretty cute and uplifting. My parents had this one bird called "Sky". It was a smart and adventurous one! It would come to the table for breakfast, and eat foods such as eggs and spaghetti. One day it got too smart, and flew away when my dad was trying to clip its wings. I hope Sky lived the rest of its days out in that light-blue expanse above our heads. Let us believe that there is a Heaven for pets!
Lastly, I wanted to let you know that my friend has an internship this summer at the Cook County jail. He is studying psychology, and so will be working with inmates in this direction. He told me that Cook County is America's largest mental health facility! He is especially motivated in tending to the mentally sick because of his Christian love. He said he was praying to find a good internship that combines his passions for mental health and community with others: I am overjoyed he was granted just that. I don't know if they have any mental health facilities where you are at, but I believe they can be very helpful if done properly. I know many college campi encourage their students to seek mental help if they need it. There is often a stigma about seeking this help, and many times for good reason. However, it seems the benefits of getting cured outweigh those costs in the long run. I don't know; maybe I'm just crazy! (Pun intended)
Talk about patience! I remember when the Wisconsin protests erupted in 2011. It was even a hot button issue among the public school teachers in my area. If a law or bill is being passed in one state, it might be passed in your own. I guess this "money judgment day" teaches us that sometimes we need to be ready for the long haul, when it comes to legal battles. Even though the outcome seems invisible, it is still there, and will be upon us someday. Speaking of which, I looked into the Jeff Decker stories. Apparently he has been banned from the Oshkosh campus for a year; this ban started in February 2015 or so. Some people make protesting what they see as systematic injustice their lifelong passion. For example, community members called on one university to put in a trauma center, on account of nearby gang shootings and car accidents. They wanted a center close-by and equipped to deal with trauma-level injuries. Both community members and college students protested to have this center built. Many were even arrested! It was a very serious affair. Eventually the university agreed to building the trauma-center, I think. While we're at it, I recommend looking at the case of Shirley Sherrod. She got into some hot water back in 2010. Evidently she was portrayed falsely, and filed a defamation suit against Andrew Breitbart and Larry O'Connor. The suit was finally settled on undisclosed terms in 2015. Again: patience in those legal matters. It's a long battle, but it has to end someday. Alright, thanks for the update! Keep doing what you're doing -- staying on top of legal matters, both local and national. It keeps an honest and informed American citizenry. Take care! --Calhoun25
