You are living in hell! Thanks for sharing your experiences. This is really hard to read. I can totally & absolutely not understand how people can survive in such an environment. But they actually do. The question is at what price.
Hi Kiyoshi! I would like to send you some more words into your reality. I'm not sure what to write. I sense a lot of humility in your words. It's difficult to write someone I don't know. I read a lot of blogs here lately and transcribed some pieces as well. Your style touched me in some way. It seems to be genuine. I'm writing from Europe. I have a pen pale in a florida prison since a while and that's how I find out about this website. I think it's a really great idea to let people in prison write about their dreams and thoughts on a blog. There are so many different stories you can read here and every single one is kind of special. I would like to send you one of my favorite poems. Maybe you will like it. :)
Illusion and recollection
And through clouds moonlight lightens, dark waters reflect reminiscence of beauty, old responses that awaken.
Remembering their illusive promise, they show, for an instant, your smile and how it descends from the corners of your mouth.
The clouds move, hiding the light. And recollection becomes a vision.

This should be all for today. I hope you are well and in good health. If I could brighten your day by sending this than I succeed. :) I wish you all the best! Keep on writing on this blog, I like your posts and will try to reply the future ones too.
ACDC is mine & David's initials LOL I was thinking, I hope he doesn't think I'm like some old 70's Rock n Roll chick haha! Yes they definitely have a delay. But this is a very cool website. Is it only for people who are in for life? David said to tell you we will keep you in our prayers for good to come to you. Hope you are doing alright. You write a lot like David! Same handwriting. Keep your head up Jesse. -Amanda and David
I finished the transcription for your post. I haven't read the letter you were replying to, but I agree that we should all be learning - well we are all learning throughout our lives, life is a learning experience. With regard to education, I'm sure in the USA - as is the case here in the UK - there are classes/courses available to people of all ages, be they evening classes, access to University at any age (we call them mature students). However, one think I do know with regard to myself - however much you learn about 'subjects' in school/college, once you leave those institutions you learn a lot more about so much, from politics, religion, society, tolerance, all the things that affect us in our lives.
I like that you're interested in music ... it's the universal language, or so I call it :)
Thanks for writing! I worked on the transcription for your post. I'm in the UK and found this website through an e-volunteering site. Haven't read everything as yet, hope to catch up at some point. I enjoy typing, and hope to contribute some of that minor skill to this very interesting Blog site :)

You had me chuckling about the idea of escaping digitally. :-)

Illusion and recollection
And through clouds
moonlight lightens,
dark waters reflect reminiscence
of beauty,
old responses
that awaken.
Remembering
their illusive promise,
they show, for an instant,
your smile
and how it descends
from the corners
of your mouth.
The clouds move,
hiding the light.
And recollection
becomes a vision.
