Hi. I am going to write about one of your poems for my college literature class. I am extremely interested in hearing your perspective of what it's like to be (have been?) an artist in prison. If you are interested in a phone or email interview, let me know how to get in touch. I am a passionate prison abolitionist (and I'd really like an A on the paper heh). My name is Mel. Thank you.
Really glad to see your still writing your poems brother,keep it flowing,stay pissitive an tell everyone I said hello and send my utmost love an respect ....Monster..
Russ, Thank you for the letters you've sent me about your book and Christmas greetings. I will respond in greater detail about publishing your book in another letter. I sincerely pray that your new ministry "Freedom's Way" will be a blessing to not only those being released, but to the benefit of everyone in this country.
Regarding your recent post. We all face challenges in our life by the very nature of our life journey. As believers in Jesus Christ, I am called as you are, passionately, perseveringly to a union so intense that words are useless. Christ's call to everyone is one centered with absolute clarity that to follow Him is a journey that requires utmost faith, hope and love. It is not just an invitation. Unless we choose to say "no," His love will transform us. How our transformation is achieved is His affair, and we cannot comprehend it. Our fundamental response to His call is trustful patience. To enter deeply into patience means accepting our lowliness and equally, Christ's power and will to transform us. Sometime's our helplessness, or accepting the ordinariness of our day, is the divine means of purification: all this can be PAINFUL.
By centering our thoughts and prayers in seeking patience, we affirm Christ's pure love as the power to transform our life, and affirm that nothing is left to "self" to want to push ahead to "take it by violence.
May the Peace, Mercy, Grace and Love of our Savior always embrace you. Ron
I just stumbled on this site and its just so sad to read. I'm a former inmate. I started writing a blog about the FPC Montgomery. Here is the address http://www.prisonexperts.com
I feel very strongly that, since you are responsible for someone's violent death, that your complaints are without very much merit. What about all the time you robbed from your victim? I feel that it's only right that you have a very long time to reflect on what you've done, and the unfathomable amount of pain you've caused, if you are able to do that.
