  • Hello James, I just found out about this site today (26. June) and I'm surfing through all the profiles like crazy. But you're the first one who I'm writing to, and I hope you'll get my comment. I would prefer writing an actual letter or e-mailing you, but I live ...

  • Hello, I just wanted to say that I really like your poems. I never really cared for written poetry, I just enjoyed listening to poetry slam, but I feel like I have to overthink that. :) Also, your writing looks beautiful. Mine just looks like the scribbling of a 7-year ...

  • Hey! Oh man, that list was so funny and so sad at the same time. The first points made me laugh but then comes number 1 and I feel so sorry. I really look up to whoever had the "betweenthebars"-idea, this site is doing something so good. (Sorry for my ...

  • Hello Richard, I can't even imagine what it's like to be with another person 24/7. I'm female, but male and female would probably annoy me the same. Like you - I need my alone time. I think everyone does. Prison in America sounds so bad in general. I'm from Switzerland ...

  • Hey, I think it's really hard to decide punishment for murderers. But I want to believe that most people deserve a second chance.

  • Hello James, Hope you're doing alright. Personally, I'm an atheist and don't believe in any god, but I think if there is a hell and you truely regret what you've done you won't go there. I think god should be fairer than humanity. :) I just think "heaven" and "hell" ...

  • Hello, I've never written you before, but I hope you get well soon. :) Hopefully, when you get this letter you'll be feeling perfectly fine again. Well - as fine as you can in prison at least... ~Jamie

  • Hey Eric! Or Maze. I'm confused, what should I call you? Where does Maze even come from? :) Sorry if you've explained that somewhere already, I didn't really read all of your posts... Its 00:34am at the moment and I should probably go to sleep soon, hehe. But I want ...

  • Hello Eric/Maze, It’s me, Jamie, again. Hopefully you get this letter with the last that I’ve written, as it’s just been 2 minutes since I finished it. :) A lot of people actually mistake Switzerland for Sweden, haha! Sweden is a lot bigger though, and Switzerland is probably richer. :P ...

  • Hello Jesus, Somehow saying that feels weird. Like I'm praying... And I'm not even religious. Sorry if that was inappropriate, haha, I feel like you must get that a lot. Yeah... I never really read anything. And the interpretations of really old poems that we did in school kinda scared ...

  • Hello Robert, And hello prison employees who read this!:D They do, right? At least that's what i heard. Oh, just to clarify: I'm female. I tend to forget sometimes that men can also have my name because I only know female "Jamies", sorry. :) Well, if you want to get ...
    on Love, Hate, Violence, Murder. When Is Enough Enough? by Robert Pezzeca Aug. 5, 2016
  • Hello Rich, To be honest, I think drugs shouldn't even really be considered a crime. Except when you take them and someone else is suffering because of them. Like if you have children and neglect them because you're too busy taking drugs. As long as it just damages yourself... Well, ...

  • Hey, I was just writing the reply to another letter of yours, but I wanted to do the name quiz-thingy. :D 38 - Maybe he (all are guys right?) has a big tattoo with 38 on it! I just hope he hasn't killed 38 people.. Big Jit - I had ...
    on What's In A NAme by Eric Wilkes Aug. 17, 2016
  • Hey, The names are so creative! Sometimes really disrespectful but oh well, still funny. ;) But who even comes up with the names? Does one random person have the idea and just spreads it everywhere? And I forgot to ask in my last letter - Do the officers also call ...
    on What's In A Name? (The Epilogue) by Eric Wilkes Aug. 17, 2016
  • Hey Maze, Hah - Go me! Always with the good questions. :P I just read your "What's in a name?" article and guesses where the names come from. It was fun, but I'm probably wrong with everything. The labyrinths/mazes look so cool! They remind me of brains. I actually did ...

  • Hey again! Soooo, you were asking me what kind of music I listen to. Everything, really. But mostly rock. I've been listening to a lot of indie rock lately (Arctic Monkeys!♥). And my favorite band is "The Pretty Reckless" (Alternative-rock band) and I also really like Marilyn Manson. My taste ...

  • Hello Milo, Your welcome! End of the year, damn, that's actually long. Are you just physically weak until then or what's "not normal"? Sorry for my ignorance, I don't really know anything about having strokes.. I read a little bit, but you write a lot about religion and I'm actually ...

  • Hey! Oops, sorry for making you feel old. :P You're 29, aren't you? Hope my math is not off... (Like it always is, haha) Mind if I ask where you come from - I mean, nationality? How old are the people who write you on average? Sometimes I feel like ...

  • Hello James, No problem! I don't except instant-messaging like answers from you, given the circumstances. ;) Mhh, I'm perfectly fine without religion to be honest. When I was very little I was kinda catholic...ish. At least I used to pray with my grandma, but someday I just didn't believe in ...

  • Ciao Robert!:) Yeah, I'm new here, haha. Well, I wrote you a really small comment once before but that doesn't really count. Yea, it's better to cut out the toxic people in your life! So if it's possible, you definitly should.:) I mean, I really do kind of understand where ...

  • Hello Robert! So, here is part 2 of my letter, haha. It's really nice of you to spend your time with the dying guys.. :( Are they sick? Or just really old? Or both..? I'd like to draw them something and mail it to you, but like I said, I ...

  • Hi! Well, I don't know who you're writing about. Yourself or another guy? But anyways, I just wanted to say this: I think being softhearted and kind in a cruel world is tougher as being the "real tough guy". :) (Having a soft heart in a cruel world is courage, ...
    on Hey! Tough Guy by LeVar E. Jones Aug. 31, 2016
  • Hey! Yeah, a lot of things would have to change, but like you said - that'd actually be really good, haha. I watched a documentary a while ago, called "The House I live in". It's about the 'drugwar' in America. And it really shows how its all about money - ...

  • Hello Milo, Yeah! It did find me well, thank you. :) Although I do have a slight cold. Damn everyone in my class for getting sick and infecting me..:P Yeah, it made sense! How old are you exactly? Maybe I just didn't read correctly... I'm going to take a look ...

  • Hello James, Oh, I see. :/ Wait, you can tattoo in prison? Isn't that kind of dangerous? Ugh, school. I'm always so demotivated when holidays end and school starts... But yeah, I'm doing okay. Mhhh, I'm best at languages I guess. English, German, French. It's funny that I write good ...

  • Hello Milo, Sorry for taking so long to answer! And I'm really sorry but I'm afraid a can't do anything about your finances. Don't forget, I'm just a student. I don't have any money myself... :D What do you mean by direct contact? Take care, Jamie

  • Hello Eric, Sorry for the confusion, I'll always write the date down from now! It's the 12. October. And with that, sorry for taking so long to answer! :( Ew, so much math, haha. You were absolutely correct when you said that I don't like math. I'm glad I only ...

  • Hello James, Did you draw a fly on the letter? It looks cool! Kind of creepy, but cool. Sounds really dangerous, to be honest... Do the tattoos that the inmates get often get infected? Very understandable that you don't do them! But I think it must be scary when they ...

  • Hello Robert, Sorry for answering so late. It's the 4. December now. Happy belated Birthday! You're as old as my mother now, she's 40 too.:> I'm glad you got to talk to your daughter. And it's unfair that you have to work so much and get nothing for it...:/ I ...

  • Hi Maze, it's the 4. December now. Sorry for taking so long to answer. I'm very forgetful. :( Good luck with the Astronomy-magazine-thingy! :D Don't worry, I won't tell anyone that you were actually wrong about something...;) I didn't know about the Band "Staind" but I listened to the song ...
