We all miss you so much. Im 35 years old now married and I have 2 beautiful little girls. I live in Florida and I own a lit little construction business. If there is anything I can do to help you out let me know. I really mean this. If you need me to show up for you make a call write a letter or whatever you may need please let me know. This family needs you home. Gunky's death was 27 years ago as of August 24th and the lord knows our lives haven't been whole since then. Please write me call me collect or whatever you can do. My address is 10121 Airy Oaks Ct Weeki Wachee Fl 34613. My number is 352-597-3538. By the way I still remember whooping your ass in karate champ back in Washington DC when we where about 7 and 9. Lol. Hope to hear from you soon.
Long have I walked around with a chip on my shoulder; angry at the world for various reasons. I feel like I'm finally ready to face my demons & the skeletons in my closet. Thank you for pouring your honesty and emotions out on a page. I truly enjoy reading your blogs :)
I know how that feeling is...I had love for a man who only cared about ice and the feelings it gave him and never saw how deeply I cared for/about him. I put myself through that for almost 7 years before I got out. It's hard; loving someone so fiercely that just needs/wants you for something like that. Granted I do not know your situation nor whom you speak of...but I know how it hurts, and how long it takes to recover. I wish you a brighter future and for someone to value you for you, not your occupation nor your 'street skills'. Keep writing tho! It helps..
O write me or call me I don't know if you still got the info but it is all the same I have not moved of yet but i stay in the phone book I know they be trippin with the phone in there so i don't know if you tryed but I will be sending you some letters and keep you faith up and your heat intack, love you unk Varick. 5301 N. 29th street apt 5 milwaukee, WI. 53209 414-535-8927
I have been looking for you and i have sent you a letter but it got returned, you have really grown up young man I am proud of you keep writing take all you see, hear,and think and turn it all to good, I love you your unk Varick.
Hi Jim, I was just looking through the artwork on Between the Bars & yours is just delightful! Thank you for sharing these with us all & thank you for putting a smile on my face today!! :)
This is Tanya's husband, Gary. I just wanted to let you know I was appalled by your blog today. Well, not really by your blog, but by your report on the shenanigans going on in California.
The first thing I thought of when I read this was that it had nothing to do with you or any of the other prisoners. Unfortunately, it is my belief the prisoners are getting caught in a (excuse my language) pissing match between your infamous governor Jerry Brown and the three federal judges. So I went online and found a few articles about the situation and sure enough, it was exactly as I expected.
The articles clearly stated that there has been a long term battle going on between the governor and these three judges because the governor doesn't believe the judges have any right to interfere with his prison system. It seems very convenient to me that they were only able to identify only 1,200 worthy prisoners to release, exactly 1% of the prison population. It is my guess that they did not identify anyone, but just pulled that number out of the air as a conveniently low number.
If I were you, I would not fret over whether or not you are part of the 1%. I honestly do not think anyone is. This is nasty politics through and through. You may be interested to hear that the US Supreme Court refused to grant a stay on the federal court order to release the 10,000 prisoners. The federal court has also threatened to find the governor in contempt of court if he does not comply with the order. So we shall see what happens.
I want to close with two things. One, I wanted to let you know that I am going to write a letter to the three federal judges and include a copy of your blog. I doubt if they ever hear from actual prisoners and their very real feelings and concerns. I want to make sure they hear from you. I will make sure you get a copy of the letters. And secondly, I want to reassure you that our God reigns. And he can and does perform miracles. In fact, I believe he delights in performing miracles and taking care of his kids. I know you have been in the valley for a very long time, but keep the faith. God knows you, he knows what is going on in your life, and he wants the very best for you. We will continue to pray for your quick release.
Thanks so much for writing! The transcription for your post is finished. Keep up the writing and art pieces! Daily workout always keeps the body healthy and mind sharp! All of my concern goes out to Cab--poor man--and his family. Life can seem so bitter many times. --Calhoun25
