Dear Between the Bars...
I pray all is well and
everyone is healthy and Covid-19 safe. As
for myself, I am well and Covid-19 free.
I received 2-doses of Moderna Apr and
May. As many have gotten vaccinated
Some have their choice.

I'm wanting to talk about what is
in the news "CRT" I listen to AM-
Radio. Also NPR. We have 2-flat
screen TVs in the dayrooms, one
stays on ESPN, every now and then we
watch local news and at times world
news but as always, all day we're
on a in and out. We can go [illegible] to the
dayroom all around 7ish in the morning to
sit either at a table or on a bench
while we wear a mask.... we haven't yet
been allowed not to wear them.
Unless your in your cell... or the
shower...

I was born and raised in
the Southweast side of Houston.
You can Google [illegible] 10615 Atwell dr.
