You have a pretty good attitude! That’s awesome! Looking forward to seeing more from you.
In 1986 John, I did 90 days in the Hampton City Jail in Virginia, awaiting my arraignment. I was one of two white guys locked up with 3,600 black guys; and it was a challenge just to stay alive. However I met and was befriended by a fellow named D. Brown.
Everybody knew him. He had been the high schools star running back, and thought he had a bright future ahead.
But he did a stupid thing, and robbed a liqueur store at 19. After a year of down time, his release sent him back to his neighborhood, where he joined a gang and hurt some people. That cost him 3 more years.
Never going to realize his dream of being a pro football player, he became a little despondent and argued with interviewers that he was a responsible person, and could and should be hired for the jobs he was applying for. But no one gave him a chance.
After having to move from house to house, and couch to couch, he finally did the worst thing anyone can do, he robbed a gas station with a shot gun. It did not matter that it was unloaded. 3 strikes. So here was this 24 year old athlete with nothing to look forward to but the rest of his life behind bars. I wrote several appeal letters for him, without achieving any success. He was my only friend there.
I agree with Chris Lovie-Tyler, that the internet with it’s twitter and fb crap is unnecessary, but you are getting short. Only 2 years to go.
Read, read, read. Write, write, write. Be someone we want to embrace when you are freed. Best to you.
