Thanks you for the powerful reflection on a struggle that so many going through unemployment face. I finished the transcription for your post. God bless.
Hey my name is Bella I’m 25 and something about you called my name I know ur looking for a friendship and here I am. I’m Dominican and it’s crazy some times I feel so alone despite having everything I ever needed and wanted from house, to car to job but I be feeling alone and I could imagine out of all the inmates I saw you’re the only one that caught my attention.
Reading your eloquent writing, I'm almost tempted to feel sorry for you. But then I think of how Romona died and all I can feel is satisfaction. You deserve your punishment. May you live a long life in that place and think about what you've done.
Could you tell me which drawing you were talking about in your blog? Cause Re except that was attached to your message, (if my memory serves me right) had a drawing (in colored pencil) of a battleship under full steam inside a bottle with water. But the "letter" portion you spoke of was a much later blog, and I don't xactly recall which drawing/painting it was I clipped that to.

18 to Life: Institutionalized
40 Hadith: Me, Islam, & Prison
We would greatly appreciate review copies sent to our committee. The addresses are listed here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/10LDiRRmVq9LZTgsKPwqboaSFZLB_y03ntzZIhSkVAqY/edit
If you cannot connect with our committee members' addresses, they are below:
1. Sabrina Carnesi, 425 Bryan Court, Newport News, VA 23606 2. Isaiah Hurtado, Marin City Library, 164 Donahue Street, Marin City, CA 94965 3. Marvin DeBose, 1129 E.

The committee members seek out and highlight books from middle school through adult fiction and non-fiction titles which would appeal to and inspire youth aged 9-21 who may fit into one or all of the following categories.
• living in poverty, on the streets, in restrictive custody or all three
• multicultural (primarily African American, First Nations, and Latino)
• reluctant readers
Titles of interest may be unusual, possibly unreviewed, have multicultural characters, dealing with difficult situations including (but not limited to) street life, marginalized populations, crime, justice, foster care, war, violence, abuse, and addiction.
