Poor Troy. I am praying for you and though it may feel lonely as ever in a tomb alone there are people that love you and care for you. It may seem as if all hope and friendship is lost but you are never alone in this universe. I hope the best for you and hope that your soul may find peace. It seems to me that you have such a pure soul and your writing is so emotional and is truly touching for me. What you have written is beautiful and your heart is beautiful as well. May you find some solace in all the despair. May there be some sunshine in such a dark and gloomy place. Much love and peace

Dear Troy, I'm not sure whether you are still in administrative confinement but I pray to God that you are not. Recently the horrors of solitary confinement in this country have come to my attention it has grabbed my life by the throat. Not many people are aware of the dehumanizing torture that happens in prisons for years and years with no one policing them and telling them to stop it. I'm planning to start a protest at my school against solitary confinement but my lack of knowledge of the prison world leaves me blind to what exactly goes on. I pray that your soul is finding peace because you seem to be a beautiful and pure human being from your writings. The system uses solitary to break away at a humans spirit and only the truly strong can attempt to maintain it. Your strength is infinite and is stronger than the concrete walls. They may have confined you physically but your beauty and strength has pervaded beyond those walls. The universe watches over you every day and every night and the sun the skies and stars are watching over you. May your heart find strength and peace through all the oppression.

NGR Prologue File @Papyrus Collective Group

Welcome to NGR,a different direction, and take on the multitude of
unique topics and situations that a New Generation is Rising from
through effective dialogue and action oriented solution based
ideas.

Here, you'll see The N-Word viewed from angles intentionally and
defiantely non-politically correct, as a desired catharsis for some,
and an opportunity for others to display xenophobia against societies
younger population and urban culture.

This conversation is open, and waiting for your two cents, as
your opinions are valuable and vital to the overall conditions
that our youth face in thesecriticle times that go well
beyond The N-Word, also uncluded.

Although we dont always need to agree, in order to move forward,
unity based movements require that we agree to move forward
together, inspite of our disagreements.

So again, Welcome to NGR, inspite of our differences.

Jesse this post has me in tears. Surely you are not an inmate in our eyes you are a beautiful elegant soul with a pure heart. If only the government could understand that we are more than just one action. We all are. Your being is defined by your loving heart and caring soul which we all know you have. And although these guards may treat you as an inmate in our hearts you are Jesse Wilson a beautiful writer and a loving human being. We love you and I pray for you every night and day. The universe watches over you every night and day and the sun the skies and the stars wish you peace with every passing day. You are Jesse. You are eternal. Your being is far more than the penitentiary pain and your soul will find peace.

Dear Jeremiah,

I wish you could call. I miss your voice and talking to you. I love your writing and will finish reading your blog soon, so don't take it down. I'm very sorry I couldn't visit June 4. I'm sure I will July 2. Hopefully things won't keep getting in the way. I have time to myself since Aja is with my mom for a few weeks, so I will send a letter soon also. I would read and write this evening, but Aja wants me to make her a card and send it tomorrow to get there in time for her birthday, so I need to get on that.

Work is okay, but it's not the mindless kind where my thoughts can wander all day. It's very fast-paced and I have to pay careful attention so I don't forget anything or fall behind. It's good for me, though, because it's not too repetitive, so nothing gets strained too much. Also, no overtime!! 40 hours a week wears me out enough. I must be pretty out of shape. I miss the days where I could run around a restaurant for long shifts with hardly a break and not get wore out. I guess I thought I'd feel that way forever or I would've taken better care of myself. I used to go on long speed walks at the state park to de-stress, but I wasn't a healthy eater. I really didn't know how to be. And I should've slept more. I had a lot of problems, though. I was reading some of Michael Ian Black's memoir, and he said "If youth is wasted on the young, billions of dollars is wasted on the middle-aged trying to get it back." How true. I've always wished we came with a set of instructions so we wouldn't have to figure it all out as we went.

I love sitting with you for hours and talking. I was disappointed I didn't get to see you. I know you were even more disappointed, so I feel really bad when I let you down. I know you have a hard time in there. I hope you find/found a good cellmate. I hope your cats are happy and healthy.

Not much to talk about in the news that I know of. One of the Navy's Blue Angels fighter jets was practicing for the airshow in the next town over, Smyrna, and crashed in a field, so the Blue Angels had to cancel other shows it was scheduled to do soon. I haven't been to an airshow since Aja was 2. You been to one? My dad took us to at least one when we were kids.

I haven't been keeping up with the political debate much. I got burned out on it I guess. I couldn't imagine having to be involved in it. I guess you have to be really into politics. I still don't know enough about Trump or Hillary to have an educated enough opinion.

I gotta go. Talk to you again soon.
