By the way your poetry is great and i think your out look on life and the majority of folks in this world is different so thats why i can dig your poetry. Rather you killed the two people or not is something i dont mind people do stupidity when their on drugs not saying its right. Were only human we all make mistakes!
I feel the same way infact i do right now. My attention is everywhere cant verbally express myself only through writing can i do so. I just got finished serving my sentence in county jail but i really feel your pain though. Still trying to get my mental state back psych meds just make you worse finding inner peace is best. State appointed public defenders are useless and are against you in the end. Done with drugs doing dry walling but i hope john hatch gets his seems like hes a snake in the grass
I finished the transcription for your post. It's amazing that you have found such a positive way of looking at life given what you have experienced in solitary. Thank you for writing! My best to you. -Melanie
hi Luke, I am from new Hampshire and in a wok program and heard about his site, your letters were the first ones that I read and this one hit a nerve, I think that if an inmate has taken the obstacles and are trying to better themselves then their sentence should be reduced. it shows that they are willing and able to change their ways, that they are trying to better themselves. I believe that everyone deserves a second chance. I hope you are doing well and I hope you get that second chance that you so much deserve.
Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post.
Wow. Just wow. Daniel, your blogs are amazing and not at all what I expected. I share a lot of the same views as you on many of your topics. I have never been incarcerated, or really in any major trouble. However, I feel strongly about the way our prison system works.. or doesn't work, rather. Also, by boyfriend is currently up in Concord State in NH. I wish he was surrounded by people like you in there, I feel like he would learn so much from you.. since he doesn't listen to me haha.. hes been in since 6/10 and we're looking at a release in 3/17 so far..I'm sure you know how easy that release date can change tho..it was originally set for 2014 and has been extended twice now. Been by his side 100% for over 4 years now, and I am proud of his many, many positive changes.. but I will be sending him many of your blogs to read I think they would be the kind of inspiration he needs..maybe he'll finally be able to change the way he views life and look at things from a different point of view.
Also, as a mother, I can't imagine the pain you must feel with not being allowed contact with your daughter. I do not think that is right, but I will not elaborate on the subject right now. From your blog and your age, I guessed she is about 16 or so now? 2 more years and she is 18 and I hope you will reach out and contact her the second you can. Write her a long letter, direct her towards these blogs, and I hope and pray that she will be reunited in your life!! You BOTH deserve it!
Your blogs are wonderful, keep writing even when you get out, they truly are inspiring. You have such a great outlook, that alone will get you far in life!
Just wanted to say that I was really moved by your reflections on your grandmother as I was transcribing them. Really hope that you can find it in you to forgive yourself at some point.
I really enjoy the letter you make about the Warehouse. We only have a Life to live and we need to learn from our experiences and forgives our past. We all deserves a 2nd. chance or a 2nd. opportunity.
Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post.
I appreciate your perspective on this issue. In my area (rural northern New Hampshire), the average pay for an entry level fast food worker is around $7.75/hr and most of the employees that I see in these types of jobs are adults. This seems to be true of many jobs that used to be considered first jobs/teenager jobs. A by-product of our wonderful economy, I guess!
I enjoyed reading your post. My best to you... -Melanie
Sorry Kelly it took me that long! I had to change my password in between. But here I am back.
I read your news!Too bad you were placed where you shouldn't have been. I hope life gets easier for you. You deserve it, friend. I feel the positivity will follow! That's all I wish for youi :)))
Waiting now a little longer but there is light at the end of the tunnel, at last... I feel so happy for you, Kelly. Leave all the ugly behind and start with a fresh mind. I just wrote something similar to George as well.
My striving should always be positive and caring that nothing lays in the way of that goal.When something happens that depresses me, I will tell myself that the best manner to beat the negativity, is a positive attitude.

You heard Martine broke with me?it was her choice; I respect it. I made new friends instead. Lucia, 60, with who I bicycle a lot! The very first time we were 4 hrs on our bikes!!To eat delicious ice cream, haha. The other friend is Marleen, 51. I got to know her in Bruges, Brugge.She wrote a book of carillons.Tomorrow I am going to Bruges and listen to a concert and she signs her book afterwards!Then the next day we go with a boat trip to Damme, the book city and we assist to an Art Festival. She asks me to paint something for her book about the vegetarism. She'll write another book. We'll discuss it tomorrow. I aam back on Saturday evening. I did baby sitting at Lynn's, now 7 months.I carry her in front of my body in a bag and we walk.Fun!!
Did you get my letter? A friend I made in Galesburg now writes with George, so he has a new friend! He has a PhD in Science and Psychology.He can help George when he is free. We will know beginning of Oktober.
Peace of mind and I pray for you, Kelly. Be blessed and stay tough!
