Read moreYes, I had a couple of pen pals who rode out my bid with me. One I met in the visiting room (she was visiting another inmate), where we had a physical attraction.

Read moreThere is no single word for it. Unbelievable is close. After 15 or more years inside, freedom does not land the way most people imagine it from the outside.

The first thing you notice is the volume of choices. What to eat, where to
Read moreYes, we have more than one person write. When you're locked up you have nothing but free time. To us, the more letters, the better.
