When these blogs get posted on the betweenthebars.org website, there's an option for volunteers to transcribe the letters into text. I assume this is largely for individuals with less-than-stellar handwriting, though yours is rather nice. Also, this might make the content of the messages searchable, which would be helpful for friends and relatives looking for particular messages. Just a theory.

This one he wrote for his daughter on 2/25/07 Tiny and Precious A child is swallowed by a sick and darkened world, abuse and pain leaving him torn inside, searching for a God that might rescue him from the crushing confusion and pain. Hopes and dreams fading fast, no miracles, shattered faith - can't escape the horrible shame, nor pain inside. Along comes a lady; caring and compassionate, an understanding friend, trying to rescue him from the clutches of an evil world, with an abundance of love he'd never known; from friends to lovers, to husband and wife. Hopes and dreams fading fast; a miracle a lifetime too late - love, alcohol nor drugs; couldn't eliminate the shame nor pain inside. A child is born; tiny and precious, a miracle of life right before me; Hope revived within a lost and tortured soul - looking up at me, with big beautiful blue eyes; A baby girl smiles. Hopes and dreams come alive right before my eyes as I held this little angel, easing both the shame and pain inside. How quickly my little angel has grown, from infant to mother; so precious and dear. My fate was forged, who knows? Maybe, long before I was born, many times I've wanted to escape this clay tomb - yet this little girl has kept me alive inside. Hopes and dreams quickly fading, a life destined to fail beneath all the crushing pain and shame inside. A baby girls unconditional love has given me reason and inspiration to seek and look within for that perennial knowledge that leads us to self-realization, which itself leads to the enlightenment of the Supreme Creator. Hopes and dreams die so quick when one is cast into a cold and heartless prison-cold stone walls have no love; draining all life within. Yet here I sit, alive and well behind these cold stone walls, all because of that beautiful baby girl - that precious miracle of life, G-d's gift in which my faith was renewed. Karmic debts I know must be paid, a balance must be found, I've accepted my destiny and position in life's long winding roads; For this baby girl has given me the desire and courage to see this journey through.
JUST BEAUTIFUL DAVID. I LOVE THE WAY YOU CONVEY YOUR FEELINGS THROUGH YOUR WORDS. YOU ARE AMAZING. Lauren, aka: Zahra
I think your goals are really admirable and I wish you all the best for your parole.
