Hello,

I just wanted to say that I really like your poems.
I never really cared for written poetry, I just enjoyed listening to poetry slam, but I feel like I have to overthink that. :)

Also, your writing looks beautiful. Mine just looks like the scribbling of a 7-year old.

Best wishes and greetings,
Jamie

Hello James,
I just found out about this site today (26. June) and I'm surfing through all the profiles like crazy.
But you're the first one who I'm writing to, and I hope you'll get my comment.
I would prefer writing an actual letter or e-mailing you, but I live in Switzerland (so excuse my English, it's far from perfect), so that would be pretty expensive and I'm a student with no money.:')
Actually I just wanted to say that I love your artwork, it's beautiful.

I think prisons are really weird. You see, I read up on your crime and to be honest - it scares me. I will never understand how someone can kill another being so easily(humans or animals alike).
But at the same time, when I see that you've been in prison for more than 30 years, I'm shocked. I think, how can someone just take someone else's freedom away?
So weird. I don't know you (and all the other prisoners that I found on this site), but after reading a lot of posts and profiles, I feel sad and sorry for all.

Hope you get this comment and hope it makes you feel a little better,
Jamie

Thank you very much for taking your time to write this and share the stories of some lives we may not hear. It was a moving time with the passing of Muhammed Ali which sent shockwaves around the world but in his life he inspired many others to follow his ideals and way of thinking. This was a very interesting read and brought forward a story I had never heard before

All the Best,
Ben
