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.
Randy; I'm so thankful for the hope and joy we both have in Jesus Christ! You were moved to Jackson CI couple months ago. I wrote to you there. Haven't heard back. You still there?
while I hate to share too much info, I'll tell you that the crime inflicted on my family was RANDOM. We were just mom/dad/kids. we both worked. kids in daycare until 6pm. i never missed a payment or a pick-up time for them.
the ugly is a random f*ing asshole who decides he wants what we have. I guess he didn't work.
Both my hb & I were college graduates. We sent our daughter to catholic school (tuition).
some bastard (now convicted and on death row) decided to change my life. so, with that little info Mr. Blackmore, I hope you will re-evaluate your responses. Im hoping.
thank you buhgrunon. i will respond to Mr Blackmore.
yes, Mr Blackmore, I call myself a victim. my life was taken from me and since that day I have not gotten myself back. Not to say Im not surviving because I am. It's when the darkness starts or things like holidays/birthdays. there is so much my life is missing.
i find *nothing* tongue-in-cheek for survivors of horrific crimes. The Jerry Springer comment was over the top.
I post here (both positive and negative)because it is my right unless this website bans me.
Yes!! You did it , your fucking kidding me, all these years I was led to believe you were there, with your little motorcycle gang buddies, some how something terrible happen, but that's not what happened, you and you alone killed this poor girl, knowingly and willfully took this girls life. I'm totally disgusted! First let me start with this motorcycle gang, what kind of man has to wear a leather jacket, hang out in numbers to intimidate people, commit crimes, against other people, no man I want to know, and you say your a man, but didn't you let a couple of your little buddies go down for you instead of standing up in the beginning, and say it was you that did this terrible thing, you and you alone.You say your a change man now? That you had to change from the man you were in Germany, well that's the only man I know, and if you had to change, then I don't fucking know you at all, let me tell you I don't have to change from the man I was in Germany, I just had fun made love, and never hurt anybody, I don't have to change from the man I am today, because at the core I am still that same man, I never knowingly or willfully hurt anybody in my life, that's who I am, that's who I've always been, your shit is one big lie. All these years I felt sorry for you, when I should have felt sorry for your victim, and her family. I have to many things going on in my life to worry about you, don't write me back, we will never get together again.
