Hello Prince I am so glad that you responded and to hear you are alright. I know you think that no ones care but I think of you often. I tell the my sons about you and I pray for your protection. Its good to hear that your father is stepping up to be there for you. God is always good about bringing around people in your life to help uplift you in your time of need. Its hard to be believe you are a grown man now. I think the last time I saw you, you were about 19 or 20. I have been talking to Princess she told me she came to see you, I havent seen her in years either I havent been home in about 17 years but I am thinking about moving back. My son Genesis lives there he is 26 and Quinton lives here with me in Charlotte he is 20 and getting ready to go off to college. I hope all is well with you I worry about you but I know that God is able I pray that he watches over you and continues to move in your heart and mind. I love you.. talk to you soon.
Since you successfully received my response via this site last time, I thought I would try it again. You would be happy to have read my thesis from Pomona critiquing the crazy moralist framework underlying our prohibitory drug control paradigm. (I graduated .01 GPA points from magna cum laude, those asses; Matt came and acted mad awkwardly around all my friends' remarkably normal and functional families, and said it was "like seeing a unicorn"). Right now, I'm interning in DC with the country's biggest anti-Drug War advocacy group, working on a policy brief about the social/economic harms of drug criminalization and the potential benefits of decriminalization. Since I can't visit you this summer, and don't know that a letter will reach you for certain, I hope you see this sometime.
I really hope you're doing well and are healthy. Also, I find your writings insightful and remarkably eloquent. Matt may go to Hahhvard, but you write far more articulately than he can.
This comment is in response to a July 18th post by Paul.
With over 700,000 people being released from incarceration every year in this country, it is in our best interest that we provide these individuals with programs to help them with their eventual transition from prison to mainstream society.
I am reluctant to characterize the release of formerly incarcerated citizens into the societal mainstream as "re-entry" given that many of the people in our prison system were never part of conventional society in any meaningful way prior to being sentenced to prison. Providing education and teaching vocational skills to those serving prison sentences not only makes the offender a better person through a structured personal commitment to self-improvement, it offers him upon his release at least some chance to obtain lawful employment and to potentially become a productive engaged member of his community,granting him a "stake" in broader society that he likely as a self-identified outsider felt he previously lacked.
Given the record number of people in the United States leaving prison annually, we cannot afford to effectively exile the formerly incarcerated from larger society or relegate them to the periphery of the predominant culture without dangerously weakening the political stability and social cohesion of the entire nation.
Formerly incarcerated citizens who have served their sentence, who have paid their debt to society, and who are genuinely trying to walk the right path deserve a fair shot to derive the full benefits conferred upon all members of society, including the opportunity to become engaged in gainful employment. This is not a "boundless sense of entitlement" on the part of Daniel Labbe and other formerly incarcerated it is a reasonable expectation of equitable treatment which they have earned by doing their time and making an honest commitment to reform themselves.
It is in the enlightened self-interest of the community into which the recently imprisoned person is returned, and in a broader context, the country as a whole that the newly released be assisted in changing his course in life. This means not only telling him that this change is possible through banal sloganeering but must include practical instruction on how to make it actually happen.
Ashleyshari is right - your handwriting is very clear, but that doesn't apply to everyone! The main reason I believe, is that search engines can't pick up words in scanned documents, so when we transcribe the posts, it's easier for them to be found in searches.

I have one question for you. Did you love Nancy?
I need to know.
