Took a pic today,
Rockin' my chest pack, yep, I make chest packs, backpacks, quivers, and satchels and more designs. Just staying creative.
All black leather, or about as leather it can get in prison.
I've been here at Salinas Valley State Prison going on 7 months now, so I make these bags for the few standouts that are in groups, school or working to go home, yep, for free, so I make about 1 bag every monthish?
The Youngstaz call me Coach because I train them in the Sweet Science. It's going pretty good actually, I do it because it's what I love to do, and I get a chance serve others in my own way.
Although this place is "horriful", I just appreciate being here after over 25 years on San Quentins Death Row.
I still have a condemned sentence, but before I go anywhere, I'm doing everything I can to convince as many people to go home and stay home as possible.
Hope you like my pic, not bad for 57 huh?

I transcribed your letter, I hope I did not make mistakes, as I am Italian my English it is not perfect.
If you want you can answer me through the site betweenthebars.org., where I read your letter.
I could tell you something about my country and culture.
Best regards.
