I cn continue to write with you here on this blog, Frederick.
Can you write about your family? Do you get visits aty times? When you feel like writing about your daily life, feel free to do so; i'm listening!
Since 10 yrs by now i wrote to 2 inmates. Now I write with several people. They became friends. In June i will visit George jr in Illinois. It will be the 4th time. He could be free in September?! He is one of the longest in jails! He is an atlete and used to play the guitar. Also he is an activist and comes up for the rights of prisoners.

Wow Joe really? I can only take just so much you know. You talk to whomever you want, what i said before was true but you just tossed it out the window. Have a great life.- Poodle
Well now...I have read your posts with great interest. It gave me a progress report of your development. First, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is rehabilative in name only. Too many of the skills shops are empty and gathering dust. Out of 1200 inmates in yard four at avenal state prison, there are no rehab programs for the greater majority. The Paisas are used to work in jobs that have no work numbers, therefore, no pay. The most mis-used words are "But they have to.." Or "They can't do that to us...," or, "My house my rules..." Of coure ownership of the "house" and the "rules" change with every shift. As for the fix-all AB109, it had an important sentence in the copy: "This bill will not be implemented if the money isn't there." Oh well, the counties can attest to that line being ignored. Guess what, just last week condums were made available to inmates. There was afellow who was constantly busted smoking in the bathrooms they asked in why he did it...he told them he would stop when custody staff stopped bring in the tabacco. As for the Governor bragging about improved mental health services...there was a fellow who spent his time talking to an imaginary friend. He would actually argue with him, and they would walk around the yard, and skip. Another fellow is called "Orbit" because he spends the whole day inside walking in an orit-like circle a round four or five tables. There are so much psychotropic drugs handed out during pill call, that you didn't stand in front of the door or be stampeded. The most narcotic of the pills were sold bt inmates to other inmates.Its the culture. Well, a better stop here...but there is much more to say.
God Bless, Pablo...or are you not called Spanky, any more...lol. :) By the way, freedom outside isn't all it's cracked up to be...it's better!!!!
Hi Trevin - I love your insight about how "people only have compassion for one another when a tragedy happens". That is such a good point, and it really does need to change, because it's the only way we're going to be able to have fewer tragedies!! Sounds like you have been keeping busy between basketball, toastmasters and everything else. I have been watching the NBA playoffs, but it hasn't really been too interesting this year. Your tournament sounds better.
Anyway, don't know if you'll even get this...good luck with your fight to get out!!
i hear you...i think it is completely unnatural to be in a "warfare state of mind" all the time but I guess the mind just adapts to any situation and you do what you have to do. In "normal" life (if there is such a thing), you get into dangerous situations where you are more alert than normally and put all your defences up, but when the danger passes by, you relax and let go again. I guess in prison that is never possible. Being injured is something that just happens in life, to everyone, and in a functional society people would be extra considerate around you, offer you help and provide you assistance if you need it so you can recover as quickly as possible. In prison however it seems to be the opposite, as the weak are preyed upon. It is a very sad thing. I wish you that you get through your injured state safely and that your mind doesn't become so institutionalized that you believe that is the natural thing to happen to someone who is injured...
