  • Perrie, Thanks for taking the time to write this letter to our youth! You speak the truth. Prison is not a good place for anyone, and most people don't realize how horrible it is. I'm sure at least one person will be helped by your letter. Hang in there, j.

  • Thanks for writing your post! Little glimpses like this into prison life is fascinating to me. Your warden sounds very progressive and the pizza program is a big hit, I'm sure! j.

  • Hi Milo, My mom had a stroke, a small one, but it took her a long time to get back to normal, so I know how it goes. Hope you continue to do well. The panic attacks are understandable, especially in your situation. Have you ever tried any breathing techniques ...

  • Perrie, I'm glad to read that you are so positive and on the right track! All the activities you mention will continue you on this good path. I would be interested to read more about your experience with the self-help correspondence courses. It would be cool to hear what's out ...

  • It is true, the small moments like the ones in the grocery store, make up your life. It is a good reminder to notice and appreciate everything about the present moment. I'll bet if you look hard, you can find beautiful moments to appreciate where you're at. It's much harder, ...

  • Hi Jeremiah - I read your initial post and felt the very real pain in it. Your follow up surprised me (in a good way) that you were able to work through this so quickly. I think you are making the right choice by leaving it alone. But know you ...

  • What you say is spot on - "Something happened in their lives that created the conditions which resulted in a trip to prison. These people should be helped and healed and encouraged to get their lives back on track." BRAVO! I couldn't have said it better myself! I'm supporting a ...

  • 10/29/16 Hi Perrie, Hope all is well in your world! Thanks for replying to my comment. I wish I had drawing talent like yours! To answer your question, I'm female, happily married for almost 15 years. So I get where you're coming from when you talk about looking for a ...

  • 11/22/16 Harlan, thanks for your kind reply. I hope you are doing well and send good thoughts to you this Thanksgiving week. I know it is hard to stay positive in there, I see it in my friend all the time. She is in quarantine and has found out she ...

  • 1-8-17 Hi Robert, I received your first reply a few days ago, and this one to my short comment today. I was waiting for the weekend to write back because that's when I have time to do all my stuff - I'm often worn out during the week after work. ...

  • 1-8-17 Rob - It cut me off on my other reply so thought I would bop over here and make sure I answered all the questions you asked. I see you wrote a lot of posts around Christmas time - very good writing! You do a great job of painting ...

  • Rob - just had to add my voice that the phone calls are indeed a racket! It is worst in the county jails. We were paying $7.50 for a 15 minute call. Adds up soooo fast. It's better at the prison, about half that, but still cost prohibitive for so ...

  • Hey there, glad you had the opportunity to take some meditation classes! Have you found the practices to be helpful? I'm sorry to hear the other prisoners were inappropriate to the instructor. How rude! Makes you wonder if they will continue classes like that in the future. It sucks they ...

  • 2-7-17 Hi Robert - I put the email addresses for the PA Representatives in the mail to you along with a letter. You will probably receive that first. I realized I didn't speak to all the points you brought up in your letter. I will raise the penpal idea with ...

  • Hi Robert - So glad to hear you got some special time with the black lab pups! It is so much fun to watch dogs play, isn't it? I can't get enough of watching our dogs play and wrestle - they are so funny! I looked on your FB and ...
    on Must Love Puppies (: Thank you JC by Robert Pezzeca March 11, 2017
  • So you asked about our trip to CA. We try to take a trip every Feb to somewhere warm. The last few years we've done Sedona, AZ. We like the scenery there and the hiking is amazing. But then we got worried we were not seeing other places in the ...

  • Thanks for bringing my attention to Marley's Mission! What a cool program! I'm going to follow them on Facebook. I used to volunteer with an equine therapy program, but it was geared toward people with physical disabilities. The horses helped the clients with things like confidence, too, but it was ...

  • Hi Robert, I did get your other reply - thank you! And I think I said in another response that they have your old address on your profile page. I have the correct one now, but you might want to get it corrected on there if you can for others! ...

  • Hi Rob, It feels good to chat on here where we're not limited by number of characters! Thanks for the additional info on the Lifer's Organization. It sounds cool and I think it's great you do that. I'm not sure if there is any program like that in the MI ...
