Chuck,<br /><br />I transcribed your letter and am very sorry to hear about how inhumanely you are treated in solitary in TX. No one deserves to live amongst such disgusting unhygienic conditions, and there should certainly be no excuse whatsoever for you to not get your weekly allotted time outside of your cell.<br /><br />I am sure you are well aware of the state of the world outside the prison system currently. COVID-19 is running rampant and politicians are mucking things up with that as well. I live in a fairly safe part of the country, but am in a state in which the numbers of the infected are rising rapidly. It is only a matter of time before the novel coronavirus hits my part of the world. I hope it is staying outside the walls of your prison.<br /><br />Thank you again for writing. I have only begun transcribing for Between The Bars, but plan to take time out of my schedule to frequently transcribe posts in an attempt to make your voice more heard amongst activists and politicians. I know it is not much, but I hope that my efforts can help you in some way.<br /><br />In solidarity,<br />-J.H.
