I can say I do knew Sean Riker. No Casual meeting, I considered Sean a friend who was there for me in some very difficult times. He has always been a man of his word and a man of good intentions. What has happened to him is a travesty of justice.
Thank you for your message. My son's name is Phillip Torsrud. One of his most popular blogs is Prison PTSD www.healthmad.com/mental-health/prison-PTSD.106218 Hope you find it interesting. He will be very happy to receive any comments from you. Let me know if you would be interested in corresponding with him.
J Torsrud, although your message was directed to Cody, I would be very interested to read your son's blog. I am a student in Australia and use these wonderful resources whenever I can in my studies. I also have a very close friend serving a JLWOP sentence in Arizona. I have found in my studies that the voices of those incarcerated are what is missing in the big picture of the criminal justice system and I'm very interested to hear your son's perspective.
Remember that you are no longer in the gutter.If you are, you are living in the past and, if you are living in the past you will not have a tomorrow.So you have no hope. Without hope you have nothing. This is the place we have to go sometimes in our lives before we realize that we are helpless. No one to turn to not even ourselves. Can,t even trust ourselves.Did I just say that? Then I remember hearing about someone that I thought was not real.But neither was I.A thing that could change my life and give it meaning.I heard about it before but, thought I would be looked at by my so called friends as punk. I ruled everything. When in fact, I didn,t even have control of anything in my life. So being by myself one day. I decided to give this thing a try. No one else could here , so I was still kool in other peoples eyes. So to my amazement, when I called on the name of the Lord, I really didn,t think anything would happen. To my surprise, I heard a voice answer back. Since that day I have tomorrow,s, but I try to live each day as if were my last. Today thats my change of mind. That I tell you of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and you tell someone else. So tell them that they are loved when they think no one else does. God bless you Dustin Kelly and all who are locked up.
Cody, I enjoyed your beautiful and powerful poem. It brought tears to my eyes. My son is serving a life sentence in Wisconsin for a crime he committed when he was 16. He is able to survive by writing blogs and books. When (if he is releases) after serving at least 35 years, he will have no family or friends left to help him. This is a very cruel justice system, the worst in the "civilized world." I publish his blogs on the internet. He has written a lot about prisons and the political justice system. I'm sure he would like it if you were interested in reading his work. Could I send you e-mails with the links to his published work? I have, smalltownbassist@gmail.com. is that right. I hope you are doing well on the outside. You have a very good mind. I wish you the best of luck.
