Age: 31; Height: 5'9";weight: 170,
Eye Color: brown; race: African American; status: single; build: medium
I'm from Milwaukee, WI, I grow up on a street named First and Keefe. I'm incarcerated for party to a crime of armed robbery. As for my personality, I'm laid back, open minded, warm-hearted, goal orientated, honest and easy going. I enjoy reading, writing poetry, R&B, rap and short stories, listening to music and educating myself. I'm currently in college and have already taken sociology, valuing diversity, microeconomics, college success and psychology. I plan on taking performing arts: drama, and music. In my six years of incarceration I have learned compassion, true manhood, responsibility and how to set and accomplish real goals. I have worked on me and am now able to appreciate relationships, friends and all that come with those things.

What I am looking for: a mature minded woman for friendship and whatever may grow from that; I'm not looking for anyone who is into games or close minded to write inmates since I am incarcerated, but if you're 18 and up and serious..please contact me.

"The Missing Pieces To My Puzzle"
Lets say a woman is made up of a thousand parts: Those she love, those she do not and those whom merely pass throughout her life. The total of this woman is the sum of them together, subtracted from one another and multiplied individually. But why is the total of this woman not whole? Most women love because of the need to love not because they have found someone deserving of their love.

Do you feel incomplete and looking for that special someone in your life? Not for someone to necessarily make you feel complete but for someone who has your best interest at heart and wants to see you happy and fulfilled, well sweetie there's no need to look any further because here I am. (smile)

I am a single black man, 38 years young. I have come to the point in my life where I no longer wish to play games. I am not a player! I am not out to use you financially, physically or other-wise. I am a simple man and I'm simply looking for someone to enjoy life with. I have a lovable personality and can get alone with just about anyone but I'm not a pushover.

Yes I have flaws as we all do because no one is perfect. I have been through many obstacles in my life and I realize that everything I've seen and everything I've been through only makes me who I am today. Today I have a lot to give to someone that's willing to be the ears that listens, the heart that cares as well as the mind that understands. So if you're willing to be a friend lets get to know one another, please write to:

PO Box 900
Sturtevant, WI 53177-0900

Hello ,
My name is Vincent Pope, I am a thirty year old Leo. I am a single black male . I am five foot eleven inches, 175 pounds., I have short hair, dark brown eyes and have a peanut butter complexion. A few things about myself: I have a 5 year old son, I enjoy writing poetry and books. Before I earned this case I worked as a dog trainer. I listen to all kinds of music, I also enjoy spending time with my son. I like to cook, play chess, watch movies and play sports. I believe a woman should be treated with the utmost respect, rather in friendship or in relationship. I also believe no relationship is possible without first starting a relationship. I believe friendships are very important. Outgoing, very intelligent and can always keep you with a smile on your face. I believe communication, trust, truthfulness and honesty, loyalty and respect makes any type of relationship last. It is my belief that things should be fifty-fifty in my type of relationship. I am looking for a lady friend whom I have fun with, learn from, and who will not be judgmental. I am looking for friendship with possibility of more. If you are the one I seek, I would like to hear from you. Have a nice day.

I find myself often staring out of the window of my cell for hours. So I got to thinking how cool it would be to have penpal. I have been staffed here at Dodge Correctional since September 2nd and do not know how much longer I will be here as I have been told it take awhile to be staffed into Max. Saddly , the max prisons are full.
Okay- so here I am waiting and will tell you a little about myself. I'm 52 years old in good shape and I am an adventurer. I love nature. Fact is , seldom was inside my house-one reason this prison thing is tough. But I can hack IT!!
I'm single with 3 daughters and two granddaughters. My oldest and grandkids are living on the air base in Germany. My twins are at home and I pray doing the right thing. But I wouldn't be much of a dad if I didn't worry. Also, I 'm sure you hear this a lot! But I have been sentenced to life for a crime I did not commit. Wisconsin has this law called "party to a crime". Add that very loose law with a crook in the Kenosha DA and there you have it!!
So I am in need of some penpal and being a people person, I'll look at this as sort of an adventure.

Sincerely, John M Navigato

DELAUREN Omar Gordon SR- a low to medium- maintenance man looking for something similar in a counterpart.
meat and potatoes- I'm sane and solid and sexy! And there is nothing superficial about me. I'm 100% Toro! So if you are a Queen who has been in search of something pure and unadulterated, you need to look no further than me.
Granted I'm "on lock", I possess redeemable qualities and bring much to the table. So it is only a matter of one (you) having the ability to demonstrate an "open mind" and "creativity" towards the ordeal I'm in.
From what I've gathered, the caliber of men who exist out there nowadays lack substance and are overrated. So if you are a Queen with an urge and taste for something new, try me and see ow you like the flavor.
I'm in need of a friend, someone to exchange warm, subtle thoughts with on a letter to letter basis to help take the edge off the ay and fill the void. And I am willing to reciprocate.
Take care and stay beautiful!

I am now 30rys old and have been in prison is I was 17yrs old. My history is as follows:
•I grew up in the inner city in a single parent home along with 4 sisters,2 brothers,and an abusive mother.She left my father when I was about 5yrs old ,moving from St. Louis,MO to the state of Wisconsin.She left him because he was cheating on her with another woman,he let me know,and I told her.My father was a true criminal and as time and space allowed he taught me everything he knew.My mother allowed it because it brung money into the house, which meant that she did not have to work as hard.At the same time I somehow became her punching bag when she got made or stressed. School didn't matter as long as I was bringing money into the house,so like any child who is not forced to go to school I didn't go.When I turned 15yrs old I decided to changed for the better.I attempted to leave the criminal lifestyle behind me.I had been living it since I was lOyrs old even though it was all I knew I knew it was right.My change was met with resistence from family and friends.For every one person I had trying to help me I had 100 people trying to hurt me.Everything I tried was stopped by someone who wanted me to continue doing crime.I found work only to have someone close to me get me fired.I tried to go back to school but my mother refused to reinstate me.When I was 17yrs old, with everyone around me against and my mother deciding to move to Dallas Texas,I was left alone.In fit of rage and hurt I killed a man.I was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.I can't complain,in one way I took a life and in return my life was taking in another way my life was taken.Since I have been incarcerated I have made educating myself and understanding , people two of my main goals.I have mostly studied psychology but I also enjoy learning about different places and cultures.I don't have any family so I am looking for someone to bond with,someone to converse with and call a friend.My biggest obstacle is finding individuals who are willing to look past me being incarcerated and willing to commit to a friendship.lt takes time,patience,and alot of understanding.I believe that anyone can be friends,regardless of race or where they are in life (physically and/or mentally),if they try.I welcome all who are willing to reply...

I'm placing this ad I hopes of finding a true friend and maybe a special someone to share my dreams ,hopes, fears and goals with. I've never had a true solid friend because of the life I was living. In never really experienced the love of woman where love came for the heart. Being that I'm making changes in my life and have a different outlook on life, I would like to experience friendship and love, if it's possible. I would love for a woman to show me a different side of life and help me complete myself. I would love to find my soul mate some day.
If you can find it in your heart to give a man like me a chance to be a part of your life I promise to be the bestest friend/penpal you could ever have. I'm a different person than I as before, and I'm really trying to be as loyal and genuine as I possibly can.

To that special someone.

A lot has changed in the past two years, fought a couple cases and my girl traded places. But it's okay, I refuse to let the coldness of someone else's heart harden mine. I'm sure there's a woman out there who appreciates the making of a good man. I know I'm not perfect, I only strive to do better. Right now I stand alone reaching out for an independent, secure, ambitious, goal oriented woman who knows what she wants and is not afraid to get it. That's a reflection of me, some people wait on their big break, I believe in creating my big break> I'm not caught up on looks. The most beautiful woman could have a cold soul. I value character, integrity and most of all loyalty. I know the unfortunate circumstances that surround me, but if you keep an open mind it's perfect timing.
Your truly, Curtis Jackson

Hello, My name is Julius Wallace. i am 52 years old, 5’11”, wt.209, blue eyes and gray hair. I am a born again Christian. Things I enjoy are cooking, gardening, walks along the beach,ice skating, riding bicycles and spending quality time with whom I am with.
As you can see, I enjoy a lot of things and more than I have mentioned. One of the most thing I care about is the person I am with. I am honest with them and do not cheat on them, for I feel if I have to look elsewhere, then there is no reaon for us to be together and same goes for her as well.
I do not enjoy talking about my past relationships and do not inquiire about hers either. They are just that- PAST. There is nothing either of us can do about them and they have no room in our present or even future if that happens.
Yes I am looking for someone to be with in long term, but will be happy with penpal and friendship to start. If you are the kind of person that enjoys the above mentioned , then we have a good starting point even if it is just a few. You may have other interests that I have not mentioned but I also enjoy.
Well , I hope to hear from you soon.

Embraced by Words

My name is Herbert Matthew Burrows
I am a man of moderation and fortitude. I walk forth each day with respect/ honesty, and loyalty. I strongly believe these elements contain a cause to an in depth friendship.
I'm attracted to a woman of self-awareness and courage, an optimistic woman with a great personality and a wonderful sense of humor, a woman who is comfortable with herself as a person.
1 carry myself in a moderate tone, with morals, values, and the ability to make just decisions in the light that may impact towards a productive outlook for a collective future.
We learn the values of a thing when we have lost it. Honestly, I've never possessed such an inspired vision until this point in my life. What I do possess is the desire for happiness which is the incentive that moves us in all our undertakings.

An Essay: Ghetto Hero

Forward
I want to acknowledge the fact that this message is solely intended to recognize some of the struggles our communities face, further give a sense of purpose for the youth , those children who have not yet grown into their position in life, Provide hope for one’ circumstances regardless of the situation, and encourage through means of proper education and guidance.
The content of this article is merely intended to bring this struggle to light.

Ghetto Hero

Every Ghetto across America has a hero: one improvised community sees as the heart of unity, the nexus of balance, within a common struggle.
A struggle, one that has yet found peace: A lost soul- a child- one that is unconscious of the life he or she will live. Reflecting personality traits yet to be educated on. The blind leading the blind.
But before I drift further into the midst of events, let me express the very existing dimension that sprung forth such an elaborate cause contrary allow me to burden the lack of fortitude, vision and insight for this all too evident birth in America.
A ghetto is a poor community with no fair chance of acceptance. It lacks resources, appropriate government funding, housing, and is the downside of a local state economy. Within these communities there is an urgent voice for support, a cry out for a productive movement to uplift our youth and set a course of action to bridge together the pillars of our redemption as a dysfunctional people.
Poverty is complex struggle to tackle, considering the dynamics of what a welfare system is: To simply provide the minimum income needed to survive in a community structured for the disadvantaged, dysfunctional non working class.
Please note: this is my personal observation of these circumstances. These leading non working individuals represent the uneducated population and single mothers that are often young children themselves.
• And these fathers represent the youth as well. For the young adult male who once had his opportunity through means of a scholarship that supported his well developed athletic abilities. All this came to a halt when his mother used the government funding provided to maintain livelihood and schooling to support a substance abuse habit.
• For the fathers who labored hard to provide security and a steady income on minimum wage and resorted to criminal conduct to make means with overdue bills.
• And yet the girlfriend who was his only hope of a more productive cause stated, “ I’m pregnant with your child.”
These barriers suffocate the youth in Wisconsin communities. It Is safe to sate that the majority of prison facilities in the state of Wisconsin house more males and females that come from these dysfunctional areas. These areas seem to be segregated to those families that receive government assistance., which are written off as a liability on the eyes of a more nurturing society.
IN time itself as the youth age, they too can only see adversity in the unfolding events taking form in their communities. Reflecting a cycle that all have lived and experience all too well. Without proper guidance these teens often develop self –destructive concepts of what success is. These teens , male and female alike, result in anti social behaviors creating situational dispositions that leads to dis-advantage in the work force and academic institutions, leaving one without purpose and carrying the ills of crime. Prostitution, armed robbery and deliverance of drug substances, all provide an income to reach a status of comfort.
Yet , this comfort level is a misconception of living and there is turmoil that clings to one’s soul , resulting to even deeper aspects these communities face-such as high risk of violence and substance abuse.
But the exception to this struggle is the ghetto hero, that all longing voice, the presence that is felt out of a common pain,love, and story. This seed has grown and faced adversity in it’s complete essence. This one of whom I speak is transcending in all forms of human development. Fortunate enough to endure the struggle by means of suppressing and modifying these stressors. This person is me and I am this because I lacked the means and understanding long before conceived to an unjust society.
I have lived and continue to experience the very existing factor. I am able , due to the accumulation of knowledge and understanding, to speak for us as a whole.
A hero stands in the light to offer hope for the people> without the strife and tears there is no story for the hero to live. I am a ghetto hero and all who reflect a struggle can very well become a hero as well…
Works form a friend to the people: “ As long as you remember that you hold the key to your success, your heart and your sanity, no one can really lock you up-they can only lock you out!”

RecidivismA combination of Components
In Reducing Increase
By Herbert M. Burrows

Introduction:
"Individual rates of re-offending after incarceration are high. Based on available re¬search, nearly two-thirds of all released prisoners are expected to be rearrested within three years. The impact of recidivism by returning prisoners is disproportionately felt among a relatively small number of disadvantaged communities." June 2001, From Prison to Home, the Dimensions and Consequences of Prisoner Reentry, by Jeremy Travis, Amy L. Solomon, and Michelle Waul.
Allow me this opportunity to travel through a combination of cycles that, at best, provide the insight to grasp the cause for reducing recidivism.
As an individual, it's an obligation to find some means of importance in society. Relevance is a significant feature to one's cause and place in life. A man needs relevance to establish a balanced focal point in his daily routine to outweigh the imperfection of man - the age-old concept of the ruling man; if one isn't in power or in control of his overall life - like education, career, home status, emotions, etc. - he is deemed less than what his birthright implies. And I must inform you that this is not true.
Equally important, education promotes a productive livelihood and creates a structured foundation for a career setting. Therefore, purpose and meaning are huge elements to the development process in attaining goals.
Nevertheless, as men we must encourage other areas of concentration, in particular faith groups and genuine relationships without pretense between the human specimens of men and women.
When friendship arises, one establishes trust, loyalty, and respect to an appropriate degree; in-turn, this creates traits for respectable social interpersonal skills. For men, one develops the quality of the kindred spirit; in this essence, a man reveals his true form, share's himself and his soul. At this form a man contains the spirit and is able to become a supporter of another human being. Not such in spiritual guidance, specifically motivation and encouragement.
Within the bounds of cause and effect, the individual as man the foreseer and motivator gives birth to an environment of harmony between the relationships. And harmony is attainable in a community.
Furthermore, it's essential that one must find common ground with self and cooper¬ate with probation official and parole agent, such as being willing to seek appropriate job placement; therefore, to establish a steady income and create a cause to make use of daily living.
In addition, it's important to detour away from any habits of substance abuse or any environments that promote drug use. I believe substance abuse is one of the leading causes to recidivism, if not the leading cause. It can be considered a key component in why a parolee absconds from custody. For example: upon consumption of alcohol or an¬other narcotic, the parolee is subjected to a dirty urinalysis. Therefore, the parolee fails to report not only to the agent, but also the work site. And so, out of fear of being arrested for the warrant issued by the agent, the parolee terminates the conditions of work placement. As a result, the subject is without a source of steady, legitimate income and is wanted by law enforcement for absconding. This leads the subject back to the familiar cycle of crime to attain a means of income to support the habit of drugs and day to day survival, which lies in the conduct of crime.
My belief is that the majority of returning inmates who find their way back to the chains of incarceration are due to relations of drug use. On (the) condition (that) a lack in productive decision-making while intoxicated, an individual is more likely to detour in criminal conduct, in the case of armed-robbery, burglary, etc. Henceforth, in the long run one falls back into the mind frame of criminality.
All things considered, you should always comply with the conditions of your medication use if need be, your judgment of conviction, and parole agent plan. Whereas, to abstain from drugs, weapons, etc. into the community which this may be.
In essence, my message is to advise that the individual abstain from the use of a con¬trolled substance or any conduct that lies in criminal activity. Together with, promote a healthy relationship with the probation official or parole agent; additionally, encourage the importance of education. Keep in mind you can never exhaust your growth of development.
Continue at all costs to pursue understanding in life. Moreover, establish means of some form of a family outreach support system such as friend/friends or kinship for reasons of mental and emotional understanding through quality time; more so, to experience the incentive of being loved and cared for. In large part, these are significant components in the social balance of segments in society.
Remember believe in yourself as a man... .... Take care!

POETIC POETRY
If
By Rudyard Kipling
1895
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same:
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, bro¬ken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose,
and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you. but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And—which is more—you'll be a Man, my son!

Mr. Kipling values calmheadedness, honesty, humility, a realistic nature, determination, and a sense of purpose. With these words, I close for now... Research is the key to understanding the knowledge.

My Tender Experience
Herbert Burrows
Is defined as an expression at best;
This tranquility, the sensation of affection,
is magnified by the bounds of her existence.
Ripened by the core of effort and strengthened by the touch of kindness.
She is my science; for I'm her chemistry,
Together we've given birth to humanity.

Serving a life sentence since 1998
Convicted in LaCrosse County of murder, arson, burglary
Since my conviction I've studied criminal and civil rights law, filed many lawsuits, won some. My time is spent studying writing, writing(poetry, essays, stories, plays etc), trying to maintain my physical health and mental health . I do a lot of thinking, trying to figure out myself and the ways of the world.
As a life, not eligible for parole until I turn 72, and the I'll have to do another year for a bogus battery against a guard here at WSPF, I think I try harder than those with shorter sentences to make my life meaningful. Not only do I have several well cited published legal decisions, but I have had poems published in Hummingbird (a small WI magazine) Crazyhorse,(College of Charleston lit' mag)and on various websites. I ttry to use the life I have to make the world I am part of , even the prison world, a better place. Sometimes it seems like an impossible struggle, because so many seem intent on make the world bitter , miserable, had unforgiving, probably because that's how the people making it this way feel themselves.
I would enjoy hearing from anyone I knew before I came to prison, even if you feel we didn't know each other well. There's a lot of mistakes I made, I now realize, Which I'd like to remedy, as much as possible. Best wishes to those reading this. Don't any of you be stuck with your flawed masks or ignorant pasts. Contact me if you share any of my interests, or want to help.

I would gladly break your heart
But, there are these bars
Yet, if love from me
You really want:
Babe, we'll find a way to make them part.

Hello Ladies, My name is Glenford Willis. I'm a 31 year old incomplete black male how's seeking comfort and companionship from a strong, open-minded , loving woman, who's willing to receive and give affection in return. I've never been married and have no children, but I do adore them. I'm a loving, caring , intelligent. Honest , open-minded individual who's dedicated to what I believe in and also making the most of any situation. I've been incarcerated five years and seven months with ten years and five months ahead of me, and to be completely honest , this has been a lonely experience with no one to confide in. I was raised by a single parent and as a child my mother taught me that all men are supposed to stand strong and firm regardless of the situation. I have did so threw out the years of my life, but I have come to realize that I can only stand alone for so long. Fortunately , I have a loving caring family that supports me unconditionally but, as you can imagine, my family can only do so much as helping me find the woman if my life. I'm sure you are wondering why I am incarcerated. Well.. it would take too long to explain in my profile, but whenever you respond to my ad, I'm more than willing to explain my conviction and answer any and all questions you may have. Well I've given you some insight on who I am. I truly hope this has caught someone's attention and you are willing to know more. Take care, and God bless you all.
Sincerely, Glen

Greeting,
Since you took time to stop and check my profile out,I want to start things off by saying:as you read this message, I want you to bear with me cause at this point in time I am kind of lost for words. Being that this way of meeting someone is new to me, and on top of that it has me nervous as well. By you being on this site lets me know that you're also looking for a casual friend to build a bond with. Plus that you are mature enough not to let my small situation of being locked up stop us from corresponding with each other. I just hope your judgment don't get clouded and that you keep an open mind with things since people who are locked up get looked at with a negative eye. Well, you got my information so I hope to hear from you in the very near future.

With the passing of my brother last year, I find myself alone in the world. So I am reaching out for friendship, hoping to find an understanding person to correspond with. I am a middle aged man hoping to correspond with anyone who's willing to write. I am 177 lbs, 6' tall, considerate, loving and caring man. I'm originally from Jacksonville, Florida, however I was mostly raised in Milwaukee. I do not have kids... I love them, just never been blessed with them. I'm in prison for taking money that didn't belong to me. I have corrected my error, my only problem now is loneliness.

I'm not a person that's into looks, life has taught me to look upon the heart. Now knowing that's where real beauty comes from! I like to have fun, by way of correspondence through the mail, to talk about anything... life in general. I've come to the understanding that loneliness is such a bad state to be in. My loneliness compels me to search out friendship, someone I can talk to, who I can share with, all for the sake of friendship. We've all made our share of mistakes in life. Having someone to talk to is very important to me!!

In closing, it is my hope that I hear from you so I can properly introduce myself.

Sincerely,
Leonard

The truth I know will soon unfold.

These four walls are hard to cope,
My faith is strong, it gives me hope.
Alone I stand but not for long,
My angel calls of love are strong.
On bended knee, oh Lord I pray,
Please see me through another day.
Help me find the one I know
Will heal my heart and make me whole.

If you choose to write him or another prisoner and want to use our forwarding service , please email swansol@mwt.net .

ON 5-31-86 in LaCrosse CO. I witnessed my birth father kill my birth mother and then he comitted suicide. This all took place when I was only 3 years old. After the death of both my birth parents , I lived with my 1st cousin and her husband. On 6-02-88 I was adopted by my 1st cousin. I lived with them in Prairie du Chien( Crawford County).
During my life with them , I was subjected to both physical and verbal abuse by my step dad , I was even subjected to physical and verbal abuse by my peers. While in school, I was labeled "special ed" for slow learning problems. I had lot of negative behaviors during my school years. I did graduate high school in 2001.
I have had alot of behavior dysfunctions all my life. I have made some improvements here and there, but I still have my struggles now, since I have been an adult. I have had several situations where I self harmed Myself. A few required serious medical treatment.
I have been in prison since 2005, in which most of it has been in segregation status. For I seem not to adjust to prison life. I do alot on impulse alot.
Since being incarcerated I have had a lot of placements in observation status as well as bed-restraint placement. All dues to my mental health illnesses.
Now I have also basically had everybody give up on me. So I have been left to struggle alot. For I have no financial help with which I can get hygiene or anything else I need. I don't really receive mail that much. I mainly only get legal mail or catalogs I send out for. I barely get letters or money orders or cards.
So I just manage the best I can with my situation. My mental health and basic medical needs has gotten worse over the years.

My name is James Findley and I am a prisoner here in London –Ohio. I’m doing “life” for the crime of murder- and I’ve been “in “ since Oct 1970- 40 years and I doubt that I will ever be released- I see the parole board again in October 2013.

About a Bio- I really don’t know what to say other than I’ve always tried to be myself and treat people as I want to be treated-my first two years I spent on “death row”- got to within 22 hours of the electric chair before the “stay “ came from the governor back in 1971- so you can say I’ve been to “hell” and back. Until a couple months ago I was in the “dog program” –we’ve at London, as a dog trainer/handler. Then I got a chance to get into a cell and out of the dorm-so I changed jobs- I now work on the yard crew.

By the way, I’m 5’91/2” tall. 180 lbs-gray/blond hair with blue eyes. My hair is below my shoulders now and my beard is full. I’m a scorpio-October 23rd. on the cusp. I will answer all who write me!!
Take care and have good days. Sincerely, James

Green Bay, WI 54307

Greetings, my name is Marvin L. Beauchamp, my friends call me Bo. As you can probably gather I am incarcerated but I am searching for someone to communicate with, a very understanding member of God's greatest gift to man, a woman. A woman with a sense of humor that can bring out the sunshine on a cloudy day. A woman with whom I can share my memories, wishes, dreams and desires with. A woman who possesses beauty both inside and out.

If you believe that you fit this brief description, then let's give it a try. Know that you will be beginning a friendship with a black straight male, 6 ft., 190 lb, humorous, healthy, family oriented, intelligent, positive, outspoken, barber, who's 34 yrs old.

I am currently housed at the Green Bay Correctional Institution, PO Box 19033, Green Bay, WI 54307, #250335.

Crime incarcerated for: homicide

Marvin's story:
I am writing to you to share my story with the uninformed and those who are willing to listen. My name is Marvin Louis Beauchamp and I have been wrongly convicted. I know what you are thinking. You " hear that " all of the time. A11 I can do is tell the truth and give you some of the pieces and let you come up with your own conclusion. The #1 thing to remember is there is NOT ONE piece of physical evidence that links me to the crime. All evidence against me is circumstantial. There are 5 eye witnesses the saw the shooting from start to finish, who did not identify me as the shooter...
....... It was a sunny morning on June 16th 2006. I took my
girlfriend to a court date that she had at the Milwaukee county court house, afterwards, I drove her to her aunt's house where I dropped her off. I proceeded to work. At the time I was working as a independent contractor, painting, and refurbishing homes. I was told by my girlfriend to return to pick her up At 12:30pm to return her to the courthouse at 1:00pm. I called her cellphone several times and received no answer. I called a few more times and still got no answer, so I went back to painting, figuring that she had found another way to her appointment. Later that evening I was informed that I was being sought in a shooting that took place at my girlfriend's aunt's house. I eventually turned my self in to sort this out and proclaim my innocence. I was being charged with a homicide! Preliminary hearing comes around and the only two state witnesses that were supposed to testify against me were my girlfriend and her cousin. Both of them made numerous statements, all of which were the truth because they did not involve me at all, but there was a final statement that implicated me in the shooting. WHAT?! CAN'T BE! I WASN'T EVEN PRESENT! They were called to the witness stand, cousin first. Her statement, the one that implicated me was the only one read in court, not the other three that had nothing to do with me. After it was read she leaned toward the mic and said "all of that is a lie" because the police at interrogated her forced her to say these things. She testified under oath that she DID NOT witness me do anything to anyone. As a matter of fact she did not see me that day period! Next my girlfriend took the witness stand and guess what she said? Yep, the exact same thing, that she was coerced into making statements that implicated me, after being arrested and held for a day and a half. Simple right? Case dismissed due to lack of evidence, rihgt? Wrong! I was bound over for trial....
....... Trial comes and the story gets even more confusing.
My girlfriend's cousin's, boyfriend was the person that unfortunately ended up shot in the front yard of the house that I dropped my girlfriend off at. Supposedly he was shot numerous times and stumbbled into the street where he collapsed. A nurse that just happened to be driving by, pulled over and administered CPR on the victim and allegedly revived him. This nurse that brought the victim back to life, was not present at my the trial and nor was she invited. The second person to arrive on the scene, who also was just in the neighborhood, was a lieutenant. She called for back up and about ten minutes after the shooting a crime scene has been formed, all while the victim lay in the street. She, the lieutenant, also didn't show up to the trial, nor was she invited. Reports show that the victim suffered 5 gunshot wounds. One gunshot hit and damaged 80% of his Aorta Vena Cava- for those who don't know that's the main and largest blood vessel attached to the heart. One bullet penetrated his kidneys, also causing rapid blood loss. Another hit his spine, liver, and one was a flesh wound. These are pretty grave injuries for the condition they say he was in all the way to the hospital. By now the EMT's have arrived. One of the firefighters on the scene was a friend of the victim. He asked who did this to you, at which time the victim supposedly replied "MARVIN!". Yeah, you read that correctly, my name is Marvin, which no one calls me and this also was testified to. My nickname is BO. Think of all of his injuries and the blood being lost while I tell who else has the first name Marvin. The firefighter friend just happens to have the first name Marvin. Remember those 5 gunshot wounds? I've done research and it is not humanly possible for a person to display " cognitive functioning " with that type of internal blood loss. But this is what his friend the firefighter named Marvin testified to. A Milwaukee police Officer testified that he rode to the hospital in the ambulance with the victim and the victim told him the same thing, that Marvin shot him, at which time he allegedly gave a brief description of a person that me and half of Milwaukee could fit. Remember those five gunshot wounds? The severe damage that they have done is still present and worsening by the second. By now 25 to 30 minutes have passed with nothing to stop the internal bleeding. The officer that testified to this says he rode in the ambulance with the victim but a police report records his partner as the one who actually rode to the hospital. Once again someone else didn't show up to the trial. When we sought out the officer that was recorded as the officer that actually rode to the hospital, he had resigned, retired, just plain disappeared. The next witness was a guy that I barely knew that said I confessed to him in the county jail while I awaited trial. Of course he said these things in return for consideration on his own pending charges, which he got a was released for his testimony and promptly murdered someone, he's in prison as we speak. When he was asked when did he hear of the shooting, he replied "in May"? That's right, it happened in June, so how was that possible? My girlfriend and her cousin testified for the second time and again said the exact same thing that they said in preliminary hearing. They were coerced into the statements against me. Forced, threatened, and tricked were their exact words. Again they said on record, under oath, that they didn't witness me do anything to anyone. An eye witness testified with me sitting directly in front of him did not point me out as the shooter......
.......That was it, that simple. I'm sure that T don't have
to tell you what the outcome was, but just for verification because it's already confusing enough, GUILTY!I!
I'm sure you're wondering where my attorney was during all of this? She was there and no she wasn't a public defender. She was from one of, if not, the most prestigious law firms in Milwaukee. She was representing the police officers that were accused and found not guilty of beating Frank Jude Jr, even though they had overwhelming evidence against them, at the
same time she was, representing me,a person with, circumstantial evidence against him. You can see Why? Her iob was done I She helped the state get a conviction and in return she got a acquittal for someone obviously guilty, so much so/they were found guilty in Federal court. Ever heard of case swapping? I have......
I am currently fighting my case in the appeal stage. I am blessed with a multitude of friends, family, and a team of attorneys that believe in me and my innocence, who continue to fight for my freedom. I just felt that I had to share my story and hopefully open the eyes of those who are unaware of the injustice that is taking place right under their noses.....
....... Of course my story is heavily summarized and all details left out will further show doubt and Drove my innocence. One day it will be proven.....
......My case was recently argued before the WI Supreme Court
and their reason for denying my request for a new trial was simple. Necessity. It was/is necessary to keep the evidence that we argued, against because if they ruled in our favor the state would have no case because there is no ballistic evidence and I would be acquitted. They wouldn't want to take any chances and release a guilty man, but they have no problem keeping a INNOCENT man behind bars........
.......Can you honestly call that justice??

Devin Lee Brown #471237 GBCI; PO Box 19033 Green Bay, Wi 54307-9033 Title “Mistaken Identity” Devin Brown gets 35 years to life for mistaken identity. Could you or someone you love be the next victim of Mistaken identity? Eye witness says to police that “someone “ just walked past and started shooting and she didn’t recognize him, but after being told by someone else Brown could be involved she thinks she knows Brown from going to his house. However , when picking him out of a photo array says only time she ever saw him was on night of the shooting. Then at trial she points to different person and says she knows me from a party. I was illegally arrested on August 03 and lost trial Oct 04. I felt compelled to sign a statement after I was confronted by a signed statement by my big brother implicating me as the one that killed someone. After I denied it several times through several intense interrogations and being denied a lawyer, it overwhelmed me and became too much for me to bear for someone never in a situation like that ever before. My brother’s statement wasn’ t used at my trial , however , they used my statement and a faulty eye witness who gave several different contradictory statements and pointed to someone else during my trial in a photo lineup. In July of 04 an-out -of -court statement from a former friend of mine said I told him I shot the victim (so he could get released only later to catch another case in involving a toddler being killed) however at trial he plead the 5th and refused to take an oath to verify his statements but was compelled to testify, but I still couldn’t questions him because every question was “I don’t know,” “I don’t recall” or “I don’t remember”. A jury used no physical evidence to convict me. Now I am in the court of appeals again because the courts keep giving me the run around hitting me with technical errors because I am pro se. My appeal process is similar to the Emmanuel Page VS Matthew Frank case 43 F:3c 901 WI 2003, where they are not ruling on my issues. The circuit court sends me to the appeals court saying it’s their issues, then the appeals courts says it’s the state, then the state sends me back. The whole time the appeals court didn’t rule on my claims. This is where my problem is. I believe I have grounds for a successful appeal for those reasons also, my trial court judge is on record saying he sees a discrepancy with the detective’s version of events on how they entered my mother’s house. This was one of the most important motions I had but they chose to side with the police against my witness (my mother/ Niece) on a reason that doesn’t have anything to do with how the police gained entry into the house without an arrest warrant after ample time . I’m the victim of mistaken identity and over bearing police , misconduct, taking advantage of people who haven’t been I this type of situation and the judges are holding me to a higher standard than the people who take an oath to serve and protect. If you could help me in any way, it would be greatly appreciated. If not, please direct me to someone who can.

Waupun, Wi 53963

My name is Marion Brisco.I was born on February 23rd,1984. 1 ' m about 5'3 in height and about 174 pounds in weight. I grew up with both of my parents,2 brothers,and 2 sisters. My childhood was bad to say the least. My parents struggled with finding work,which meant lots of financial troubles. Living in poverty caused going to school to be difficult as well. My parents not being able to afford nice things cause me to be the object of ridicule and mockery. As a result of this I got into fights everyday. When I got home I was punished for fighting in school. I couldn't tell my parents that I was fighting because I was being poked fun at at school.
Once I got a little older I wanted to change not only my state of living but also my family's. So,I took to doing what everyone else in my neighborhood was doing. I started doing crime,specifically selling drugs.It was easy and the money came fast. I did what I believed I had to do. I divided the money I made between myself and my parents. Because of what I was doing my parents were able to pay rent, all of the bills,and purchase better things for my sisters and brothers so that they didn't go through what I did in school. To be honest,back then I thought that the lifestyle was great. I was respected in the streets as a hustler and I was loved in more at home as a provider.I even fell in love with a beautiful lady.
As with all stories about a man coming to prison,the life that I thought was so great began to crumble.The woman that I loved betrayed my trust and involved me in a crime that I had nothing to do with. In the aftermath of it,I ended up with I5 years in prison and strong trust issues. She began a relationship with one of my friends and my family was plunged back into poverty.
As of now,I have been in prison a little over a year and I have decided to once again change my state of living but this time in a positive and productive way.I am working on getting my HSED as well as preparing to take some correspondence college courses. I have also begun to form a relationship with God. Most importantly, I have begun to work on the psychological scars that I have from my parents and the betrayal from my so-called friends.I've realized that I can't really change my future without educating myself and finding internal peace.And in a way,me posting this is part of that process.I have not opened up to anyone about my past since I was betrayed my the woman I fell in love with.
It would be difficult for me to say what I am specifically looking for but I know that Whoever response to this has to be at least open-minded (seeing that they would have to be in order to view me as the individual I am and not as the crime I'm incarcerated for), someone who is understanding(seeing that they would have to be in order to deal with my faults),and someone who is compassionate(seeing that they would have to be in order to help me help myself become a better human being)! I encourage all who wish to, to respond.I will try my very best to respond to all letters that I receive.Thank you for your time and reading my story.

Poem Called Father

Too young to remember
A few pictures take his place.
She's my baby girl. We resemble
He's gone without a trace. Without her affection,
Void because of infection;
A life of insurrection
Now what is this I face?
A stream of bad decisions,
Don't hate the player, hate the game.
Conquered by drug saleing
So much promise turned to shame.
Mercy m! Sin arrested..
My Baby girl's love uncontested!
Satan's plan has been bested
Could this be the case?
In Daddy's arms she can rest now,
Neither weed not death gives chase.
I'm at home, free at last now
And protected by his grace.

Terrance Prude’s Life in a few words
Born in Milwaukee Wisconisn In Highland Park projects , I was /am the only child and I was raised by my grandmother ( who just died April 27, 2011) and she taught me right from wrong. However, the streets seemed to have more control over me that grandmother . I hung out with “friends” who really were not friends. I obtained a record at 10 years old . My surroundings were cruel and unusual on the mind. I’ve witnessed person getting their brains blew out at a young age, I was taught to kill or be killed ( thank God I was never put in a position to kill). I was taught the opposite of societies norms. I learned to have a mental disorder, i.e. due to the standards of society, the word is that if a person doesn’t “effectively “ know right from wrong, they’re with a disorder. Right from wrong “to me “ meant to do what ever to stay afloat. Hanging around killer, drup dealers. Hustlers, pimps ( and everything in between) taught me what surviving meant and in turn I adopted the definitions as my own.

So, I grew up with”that” meaning of right and wrong( though I am sure I know even this definition was wrong, however , the “twisted definition”of right and wrong seemed to be more financially beneficial than the “right “ version” of right and wrong), and figured those who weren’t living as I was was living wrong, did I have a disorder? Robery ( while armed), shooting at others who lived as I did was the norm for me and it landed me in prison with 100 years. I’ve been in prison since 1999 november 20th for 5 counts of armed robbery (sentenced 20 years each armed rbbery). There is much more to this story that the short version I’m disclosing, so if you want to know more that what you see here, then please write me at the address above. I’m 29 years old now , I was 17 when I was arrested for the above crimes.
Well , my photo is posted as well, I have other postings as well and just google me to locate them. Respectfully submitted,

I’m 35 yrs old , 5’8”, 192 pounds, brown eyes and I shave my head. I have a thin goatee I have both ears pierced, and I have nice tattoos. I only have 1 year and 4 months left on my prison sentence then I’ll be released.

Im in prison for transporting stolen items to different states. Im from Chicago and I'm Italian. I do believe in God. I am catholic however, I’m not a religious fanatic. Im into weightlifting the gym is my second home. I’m in really good shape. Th ereason I’ve mentioned this is because first impressions are usually very important. I am very loyal and genuine, very romantic, and passionate. The qualities I have just said about myself are 100% true, I’m not a fake in no way shape or form.
The reason I bring this up is because there are soso-oo-oo-oo many fake, cold hearted, two faced guys in here and out there that say they are decent, but in reality, they’re fake.
I just want to find one special woman who really cares and is willing to dedicate some of her time getting to know me.
I would preferably ask for an older woman in her 40,s or 50,s but I wouldnt reject 26 and over, just as long as they know what they want in life. When im released , I want to do some traveling, camping, renting dvd,s listening to music, getting a membership to a gym, and eating some decent food. Ive never been married and i dont have any children. Just recently I watched the Notebook movie and it really sunk in my brain and emotions that life and love is very fragile .I am very sensitive when it comes to romance, love and animals, most people who associate with me [family-friends] say I wear my heart on my sleeve. Ive only put myself on a web site once and all I ran into was women who didnt know what love was really all about ..so i gave up. For those who read this im not out to feed anyone lies or play with anyones emotions, or take anyones love for granted. I am only looking for one thing....LOVE.
Maybe this is a stupid or odd way of finding 'TRUE LOVE* but i have to try it anyhow. The things i enjoy doing are, listening to music a few of my favorite artist are 3 doors, John Mayor,The Fray, PaPa Roach, Maroon 5, Staind, and Howie Day. I am a gym fanatic, the gym is my second home, i really get a rush from weightlifting, i have never done drugs, but i do drink occasionally, i like to go out to clubs to socialize and dance. Favorite movies are 'Titanic and Note book, when im released i plan opening my own gym. I have been locked up for awhile so it would be really nice to hear from a genuine woman. Before I wrap this up .I want you to know it gets really lonely at times so please don’t hesitate to write back. My biggest fear in life is to die alone.

Jeremy Loyd Deal
Waupun Correctional Institution
P.O. Box 351
Waupun, WI 53963

My name is Jeremy Loyd Deal; I am 26 years old bom on September 29, 1983.1 am 5'10" and weigh 220 with wide shoulder and a stocky build. Both by parents are alive but my father denied me before I was born, and the last time 1 saw him he was driving away as I chased him on my bike at five years old. My mother was there but not. I didn't exist to her and was more there for something to take her anger on and blame all her problems on. Mostly because I look so much like my father whom she declared every time she got drunk-every night. Her schedule growing up for me was the same. Bar at night, pasted out in the morning and work in the afternoon. When she had time, she would spend it with my sister Brooke. Whom she loves dearly. I was merely there for money as she told me and would take me to the social services and have me freak out so they would pay her more. She got money for me because I am Bipolar and ADHD. Which they tried to treat but found it hard. Especially when rny mother didn't like it if the drugs worked because she wouldn't get much money. So most of the time she would call me names insult and degrade, emasculate, and beat on. Especially when she came home drunk at night. Mostly though she would use broomsticks or well anything she could get her hands on to either hit me with or throw at me. My sister Brooke took to that quickly and started doing the same. Even when I was abused sexually by my aunt she ignored me and it continued until my aunt moved. Then my sister was raped in front of me when I was three by my uncle, Brooke my sister was five, and because I didn't do anything that also was my fault as was everything else that went wrong, broke whatever it was always my fault.
Nevertheless, when I was again raped by my babysitter Paula when I was seven my mother called me a liar again. Therefore, it continued and if I didn't perform to my babysitter's requirements she would beat me down with metal spatula and a wooden spoon until I could have sex with her multiple time a day. Which in the end she still beat me and said it was my fault but not as bad if I didn't keep to her standards. My mother in this case was forced to recognize it this time especially when the cops, social services, and the courts got involved. She denied she knewanything then beat me bad and said I'm trying to get her put in jail. In addition, I had to go to counseling for the next two years. But my mother said its for my sister, I'm male I cant be raped, that where going to counseling. All this though pales in comparison to the beatings her random boyfriends gave me. I was stomped kicked thrown around stomped down by feet, chairs, vacuums (specifically a steel Kirby-which 1 remember very vividly) whatever was available. Why to this day I don't know. When my mom moved every year because the schools started asking questions or it got so bad due to many trips to the E.R. mostly strangers taking me in or the school, I thought it was over but it just continued. New place, same, and sometimes worse treatment. A couple times it was so bad the police would visit and she would acted shocked and say it was all her boyfriend and she got ride of him then would give the police bogus information then beat me when they left and then we would have to move again. I've been to 15 different schools and been to the E.R. over 100 times. The worse was when I was sitting on my sisters bike my moms at the time boyfriend saw me called me a fagot for being on a girls bike and hit me in the face with a bat. I lost all my front teeth and my gums completely broke off my mouth. The doctors through surgery fixed my gums and based on I was only six my teeth all grew back. Thank God, or something. Anyways when 1 wanted food, I had to get it myself or starve. We lived next to a bakery and I would dig in there trash-I started this at about two. The first time I stole, I was four, Starving, my mother was passed out, and so I walked into the store a block away. I put a whole box of reeses Pieces on the counter, and when she turned her back I ducked with candy thinking I was slick, then she kidding said ow where did he go, then I jumped up and ran out the door with the reeses. I ran straight home into my mother's room, sat down next to her, and ate until I was sick. The earliest memory I have 1 was around one. The reason I remember it is that my mom's boyfriend at the time poured hot coffee all over my chest. There's a lot more but it hard to talk about or get into more detail.
By ten years old I was so anti-social 1 didn't even know anyone. Moreover, a new home every year didn't help at all. The library reading and watching movies was my escaped. In addition, since I was getting bigger neither my mom nor her boyfriends couldn't throw me around as much. So, they just continued with the emotional, mental, and psychological abuse. Say anything and everything to hurt me or to make me less secure with myself. I started isolating myself increasingly and still to this day have difficultly starting a conversation with anyone. That is how it went until I met a female at 15, who paid attention to me and showed me love. The problem was she lived in a different town. Where I lived a different town in the North woods, northwestern Wisconsin, is very far away. Moreover, my mother moved again so I stole cars to see her eventually caught and went to Juvenile hall. When 1 got out, I was good for a while getting straight A's in school mostly because the place they sent me was Youth Leadership Training Center, or boot camp. They said it would help me with my discipline problem. It did help me with my ADHD and bi-polar. It gave me focus. Well until I starting drinking and smoking weed to dull the loneliness. Then I met an amazing girl who got me to quit all that and got me focused on my schoolwork again. Then about a year later, still with that girl, my mother, and her husband were drunk and screaming really loud at one in the morning. So I started drinking and when that didn't work I left well gone I got the stupid ideal to break into the school and spray fire extinguisher down the hall to get school canceled so I could spend the day with Katie. Dumb idea. For that I was arrested, they had a camera. I was given four years in prison for making the floors dusty and breaking a hundred dollar window. Small towns go way overboard. That happened when I was 17. At 21 I got out got three jobs out the gate and kept them until they found out I was a felon and fired me. So I got another job that would hire a felon and was doing good had money in the bank, my own apartment, and a car. Working up words of 15 hours a day or more if I could get it. I figured with no girlfriend and the fact I had four years to make up, and being completely on my own I didn't see a problem. That's when my cousin asked for help. I helped him. I took him up north, northern Wisconsin so I could get my other car I bought and had up there. An 82 Camera that I could work on to keep me out of trouble. On the way back I slept in the back he drove. He was pulled over on an empty highway going over a hundred by a cop sitting between the North/South bound lanes. He had a warrant for robbing ever boss he ever worked for. Initially he tried to blame it all on me the guns too, saying he didn't know anything. That's when they found out all the victims were his ex-employers and the guns belonged to one of them. Therefore, he couldn't deny it anymore. So, he admitted to all of it but said I'm a felon and I made him do it and influenced him and all this other crap. In the end they scared me into a plea by saying because I'm a felon who's been in prison over a year will get a minimum of 15 year per gun. That would be 45 years then the state would run whatever they had consecutive. So I got scared and took the deal. They got me though they gave me ten in five out in Dane county but there was another county who waited till they were done and gave me the same charge and same time using the same evidence from the first as there own, all which I know now is illegal. They also used hearsay to the max too. There evidence the Pre-Sentence Investigator said that the detective said that my cousin said that I said. Yeah just like that. All now I know is completely set up. Also, for my appeal the public defender (public pretender) filed a no merit report. Which I also found out he should have done. He did this to end it, so he could be paid. So here I sit after years of confinement in depression I finally feel like doing something or moving around enough to even write.
While in prison I've taken just about every program they have to offer. I even graduated from college in here for computer programming and bricklaying and masonry-which is a college diploma. I graduated with highest honors on the Deans list. Plenty time to study I guess.
It is difficult for me to say what I am looking for specifically because the way I grew up I get along with anyone, no matter what they think about themselves or what others say because the way I was brought up not very much bothers me. What I do know is that I am looking for someone who is open-minded (seeing that they would have to be in order to see me as the individual that I am and not as the crime I'm in for), someone understanding to deal with my faults, and someone who is compassionate (seeing that they would have to be in order to help me help myself become a better human being. I encourage all who want to respond and I will try my best to respond to all letters. Thank you for giving me the time.

Allow me to open up with complete honesty and respect to whom that's reading this . I don't want to consume too much of your time so I'm going to jump straight to the point and give you a little information about myself.

A strong, educated , loyal, honest man who made a few bad decisions in life, but as a result of making those life changing decisions, I've grown to acknowledge and accept the choices I've made and moved on to better my life.

Yes, we've all made decisions we're not proud of, but it's the decision to overcome and not proud of, but it's the decisions to overcome and not allow those mistakes to dictate our future as well as us as people, I'm on that path and in a short period of time I've learned valuable lessons that's keeping me focused on my goal to become a better man.

I'm now at a point in my life where I'm trying to find a woman on the same path, I'm not into playing games nor wasting anyone's time. I'm too grown for that just want to correspond with someone and hopefully have a relationship that can be productive to my life and hers.

I'm not looking for any handouts, just a friend to help ease the pain and loneliness of being in this concrete jungle, so if you're interested, get at me.

HUNTSVILLE,TEXAS 77320

My name is DANIEL MART1NEZ, I'm a Hispanic male, 40 yrs. of age, but am here under an alias which depicts me as 42. My real name is Danny APOLLO. I am 6 foot, brown eyes, and hair, and weigh 200 pounds in hopes of gaining 10-15 more pounds. I love to work out, and run, and do so daily as there I find my solace. 1 have learned to become compelled to the art of criminal law, Out in IEXAS that can be both pleasure and pain, seeing that they are probably tne most arbitrarious of legislators around.

I've served 10 yrs on a 25 yr. sentence for the offense of AGGRAVATED ROBBERY which was anything but that. I had 5-25 yr. sentences consecutive of which 2 were concurrent. In English that means I had 100 yrs. But I had 3 of those reversed and ommitted finally. I now have my last 2 concurrent convictions. I come up for parole in 2 1/2yrs.

I've been given an another run at life. A chance to try things differently. I'm in college taking business administrative managemant, though I have to take the semester off as part of my reimbursment plan- I plan to go for my bachelors, and if given a set off will push for my Masters. I've had a bumpy ride at the onset of this ride, and have lost loved ones and several opportunities enough as to make me reconsider my life a thousand times over. I love to draw, and can draw all of what I see, and ½ of what I dream and imagine. I venture into all aspects of art. I have no vices accept for a terrible addiction to coffee. And still, even that I take in measure.

I'm a dreamer looking for purpose, trying to make it worth the price I paid. If there is such a thing as a happy ending to such a horrid story I beg the Gods to allow such an opportunity as to know it. I have desires to see the world, and have already visited alot of the U.S. I love to travel.I love the way Mother Earth has dressed herself in Fall, and love the cold sting of winter against my face. I love to dream, I love to talk. I love to read, and have found no book tabu save for cheezy novels. I have a great fascination for History, and my Native AnErican roots- And above all I have a great respect for that Life force that binds us all as one regardless if we choose to accept it or not. And I struggle to know that FORCE more and more each day. I'm writing a book- In fact it is my third, and I feel more from this one than the 2 prior. I feel like I have alot to share; both of my current situation, as well as seme swiftly taught lessons in life- I'd also love to hear of another's life-learned experiences, if perchance one could take me away from my 6X12 cell, if only for the moment.

I assure you that all mail is welcomed and your letter will always be responded to. I'm just a man reaching for something better, knowing that it isn't here. I thank you for your time, and anticipate your correspondence. So now I leave you with the greatest respect one could ever choose to make their own. Peace.

I would like to gain friendship by correspondence via postal mail service. I was born and raised in Texas. I am a single white male 41 years old, 5’9” tall , brown eyes and brown hair ,though I sport the bald look these days. Being in prison is not the sum of who I am, I am fun, daring, easy going, compassion for others, bit of a wild side and great sense of humor.

I’m not the average prisoner or a bad person. I believe myself to be a good man who made a few bad choices in life. Though I am in prison my outlook on life continues to be one of compassiion, optomism and joy. Hobbies, anything outdoors, fishing, boating, camping , gardening, sports, walks on the beach, etc.. Interests: God, family, music, books, writing letters, stamps collecting, etc. All who write will get a response.

Sincerely, Danny

Sometimes we often meet in the wrong place at the wrong time but that’s a negative reaction to thinking assuming worse in thinkiing absent positive thoughts and a greater understanding of sensitive acceptances to each others emotions who knows? We can’t predict the future but we can cleanse it of any negative sensations through letters of deeper integration we will become as one.. “friends”. ..

Hello,
My name is Steven York Harper, and I'm looking to meet some intelligent, attractive women of all ages prior to my up-coming release from the department of corrections. So, with your kind permission I'd like to tell you a little about myself:
First Off, I'm hardly your average prisoner, I was the head dancer of a male revenue first known as "THRILLER", and later as "FOURPLAY" from 1980 -1987. I sing, and was signed to a three year Nashville recording contract (country music). I'm a certified in massage, fitness, nutrition, and acupuncture.
I'm physically fit, and look and feel much younger than my chronological age (see photos). I stand 6 foot, weighing a healthy 190 Ibs, with a 44" Chest, 34" Waist, and 16" Arms. I enjoy Counrty music, Elvis, Suits and ties, Dinning out, Romance, Dancing, Motorcycles, and Sports & Muscle cars. Having owned two Corvettes, a Lotus, and a number of Jaguars, including my last car, a Jaguar XJS V12. I love the ocean, and plan on relocating back to either California, or possibly Hawaii?
I am one of the highest ranked, non-Asian Martial Arts in the United States Today! With over 20-years of practical experience as a full time Aikido Instructor, having taught classes all over the country. Training Men, Women, Children, Police, U.S. Marines, and even Special Forces! Earning $500.00 an hour for private lessons, teaching various executives and celebrities. I've also taught countless Anti-Rape classes, Seminars, and Crash Courses across the Nation! I've been written up in newspapers for coming to the aid of others. I offered FREE classes to under privileged children, and the elderly.
I'm currently serving a 10-30 year sentence for "Pandering." This is the politically correct way of saying I was a pimp. Which I assure you, I was NOT! The truth is somewhat of a long story, but one I'll gladly share should you be interested? I am currently awaiting release to a federal detainer, where I may have to serve upto one more year. Though, I doubt that. I fully expect to be on the streets within the next few months. I look forward to rebuilding my life, and once again being a productive member of society. I love teaching, and helping others. I tell you all of this to give you a better idea as to who, and what I am. As I want you to be as comfortable as possible, should you decide to start corresponding with me.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Hey!
My name is Nathan Dunmall and I just turned 22. If I had to describe myself with one word it would be "interesting." I am always up for trying new things and my personality reflects that. My current lifestyle is focused on living as healthy as I can. I love being outside and playing sports like rugby, football, softball, etc. I love to laugh, and try my best to be as positive as possible in every situation.

Some of my favorite activities are reading, listening to music, playing bass guitar, working out, snowboarding, swimming, boating, and basically anything active.

The music I like to listen to it very diversified. I like almost everything depending on the mood I am in, or trying to get into. Most of the time though I listen to 50 Cent, Eminem, Ramstine, Desterbed, Tool, System of a Down, Seether... way too many to list!

Right now I am looking for someone who has time to write and wants to become friends... possibly something more. I live in the moment and wherever life takes us, it takes us. Good friends and sincere relationships make all the difference.

I believe life unfolds as it should, and there's a reason you are reading this. Our paths have crossed, and it's up to you to take the next step. Grab a pen and paper and drop me a quick line... you'll never know where our path will lead until you do. I hope to hear from you soon! Our journey awaits...

Sincerely,
Nathan."

Finally:
I believe in God, and live in the now. I enjoy life to the fullest - moment by moment, and pride myself on helping those around me achieve their goals. I love working out, but am not not vain - beauty definitely comes from the inside. I also enjoying sports, and love to draw. I have an entrepreneurial mind, and am looking forward to starting my own business when I am released. I'm looking for friendship, and ideally a kindred spirit to share the journey of life with. Drop me a line. I'm looking forward to getting to know you!!

In life we all make mistakes – we choose a path which at first seems to be the right one – However, half way through the walk you realize you were so very wrong – It’s not how you lose but how you pick yourself up and dust off –

This, you, are my new road –

Don’t worry about pot holes or sharp turns - I’m a straight shot – honest, loyal, no games or drama – just one human looking to meet another who loves life, laughing, music and is willing to risk a little in order to get a lot. Are you her? If so, take my hand and let’s start the journey of friendship-

What can I say as an introduction to who I am, that in your thoughts will set me apart? What can I say that will peek your interest and make you feel that starting a friendship will be worth the start? Now I can be bland, you know, average and describe the color of my eyes, weight, and height; but what would be the fun in that right. I can be sweet and kind. I can be cruel and bitter; that's something to consider. But unlike beauty something that won't fade with time is a friendship with me.

Hi,
My name is John but everybody calls me Jay since I can remember ( there were three other Johns in my family). I live in a small resort town outside Ashville, NC in an area known as the ”Land of the Waterfalls”. It is a stunningly beautiful region that continues to amaze me even after living there for over twenty years.
I’m a 46 year old white male, 6’3”, 180 lbs. I enjoy mountain biking, back packing, whitewater and occasionally snow skiing. I’m serving an 80 month sentence for felony larceny and some lesser drug offenses- a sentence I’m about half way through. I’m now a a small minimum custody center waiting to begin the spring semester of a year -long electrical writing program, after which I hope to spend my last 24 months on work release.
Guess it would be easier to describe what I miss rather than what I like. I miss sunsets and sunrises, I miss dog collars jingling when I slam the car door. I miss watching thunder storms form my front porch, the smell of freshly turned earth and the smell of tomato leaves. I miss the smell of coffee brewing when I step out of the shower in the morning. I miss driving down a dirt road or hiking down an unmarked trail simply because I don’t know where it goes. I miss the ability to get away.
I hope to hear from anyone who wants to write.

I am a 24 year old male with blond hair and blue eyes. I grew up in LaCrosse, WI, where my brother and I were raised by our mother. I spent many long days babysitting my brother while my mother worked 13 hour days 5-6 days a week. This was hard on a young boy not being able to be out with friends and stuck inside all the time.
I was never really close to my mother until I got older. I grew up with a lot of anger in my heart. I think all that anger led me to a life of crime. I’ve had a few jobs but they never lasted long.

Waupun, WI 53963

My name is Jared Fischer. I’m a 34year old white male that has been incarcerated since 5/04 and have just under 23 years left to go. The majority of my time stems from stabbing a police officer –the rest followed as a night of bad choices ran out of control. I have reservations about going into it further at this time as it is hard to understand how a person can do something like this unless you have been in a similar situation. I have no illusions about my crime, there is no one to blame but myself. I have accepted full responsibility for my crime and now find myself on a hopeful path to a better tomorrow.
Since my incarceration I have bettered myself by finally following through with my HSED and some vocational courses- I’m also trying to reestablish my faith in a god that I feel has ultimately left me behind. I’m finally to a point where I realize it is okay to reach out again and open , myself up to some else-always taking a chance. Because, to me , it is taking a chance.
You see, I was raised with an abusive father and ion our home there was no closeness, or real family values at all or anything of a normal nature. That being said, any relationship I entered into, whether it was friendship or otherwise, I was more “passionate” about it-always trying to find that ”closeness” that I lacked growing up, but in the end I am always the one loving or caring too much, always the one ending up getting hurt.
This chance is mine to take and I am doing so because I need someone that I can just talk to, someone that can look beyond the bars that I sit behind and see me as the person I am. I am lonely and alone and feel I have so much to offer to that person who is willing to take a chance and extend a hand in friendship. I guess I am saying I am so much more than a number, I’m a person that puts real value on companionship. If you are willing to take the chance and the time on a n interestingly unique type of friendship,, hen please write to the address listed above. I will be waiting.
p.s.: Any age welcome
Only sincere people please.

I have more than a passing interest in the struggle and how it effects prison life, whether bit be improvements in living conditions, resolutions for abuse and/or prisoner rehabilitation. I’m in my 23rd year of incarceration but the longevity does not decrease my love of life. I love everything about life, the joys, the struggles, the familiar, , the new, the hope of understanding some of life’s mysteries. I’m in administrative segregation, have been for three months and I’m at a prison that has the distinction of being the only prison in America and possible the world, that has its death row prisoners in all parts of the general population :they cell , eat, rec with general population prisoners. Potosi is about 40 miles south of Saint Louis in a VERY rural area, The prison, PCC, is so rural that it has only had 6 Black officers presents several problems-if you’d like, I could share some very interesting stories.
Since I am in ad seg and have no access to a typewriter, I will submit a poem everyone seems to like.

Goddess of the Ocean
You came into m life so suddenly it seems,
You took me through reality, then placed me in a dream.
I woke reaching for you only to find that you had gone.
You revealed to me your mystical charms and then left me all alone.
My mind was in a cloud high above the world,
Soaring like an eagle because you were my special girl.
I never thought a man like me could fall from just one glance,
But now I’m caught up so deeply cause I dared to take a chance
I thought I was the captain and ruler of my destiny
But I as a mere tow-a -way on a lost and lonely sea,
My heart was shipwrecked on a dark and desolate land
I had no will, no future, not even a simple plan,
My soul was wondering with no course or direction
Seeking for warmth, shelter, or just any kind of protection,
It’s so strange how you entered my life when there was no open door
But then I saw you coming from off a distant shore.
I tried to introduce myself and tell you why I was there,
But you placed your hands on my lips and whispered you didn’t care.
You said you already knew me fro you had watched for many -a –day,
You knew my name, my past and the troubles that caused me to stray
I never dreamt someone like you could care for me so much
But you erased all my doubts with your smile and intimate touch.
I thought you’d always be with me and I forever you man
But the only thing you left me were our footprints I the sand
I try to remember the things you taught me about life and what it will unfold
But the only thing that comes to focus is the woman I long to hold.
Now my mind tells me its all a dream, made real my confused emotions
But my heart says that you’re out there, somewhere,
My lady, my Queen, My Goddess of the Ocean

I think that this prison eats your life. Like I feel is this role of this
lifetime looks here to be forever. Here you can see the same faces, same problems, same thing. I hate to get up when I’m asleep because in Puerto Rican Prison they always say: when a brother is sleeping, he is free and that is right. I write all this in Spanish like a poem and I even write about the hole 20 times. They all are not the same stuff. It is good for me because people can read something that is real. . Like I’m living it. Sometime we dream about the past or we dream about stuff that we never have – over and over. I know how to kill time but always one day play hard. I’m ok here in the hole. I get time to realize who is who . I get to realize who is who because of Ms. Peg. Here the hole is the real prison – not the population and when I come here I feel peace (Paz) because I not wanna be here for one year no no, I may do 45 days and on that time I can see clear the people but God do something for something and that is real. When I get out , I, yes, want to think about me – myself. I wrote to the women’s prison so she can find me a girl because I think I need one right now.
I don’t want to take more of your time, if you put me down on the Pen Pal, let me know if ok and if you want to write back is ok too, God bless always, with all my respect.

Now please allow me to formally introduce myself. My name is Carlos, but people call me “ziggy” coz I’m short!! “Hey” I might be short, but I got a big heart” I’m funny, open minded and have a good sense of humor, and enjoy writing, reading I like mystery books, making pop-out cards, camping, fishing, having fun, meeting and the most important thing I really enjoys is making people laugh and smile.
Now I know that a lot of people are under the impression that just because we’re in prison we have some how lost our human qualities but, that’s the result of negative propaganda. Not all of us are cut from the same mold. I’m very humble and affectionate… Living behind these walls has become a very lonely experience for me, I need the warmth and companionship a friendship can offer..I need a friend and hope you give me the opportunity to share some thoughts and a few laughs with you!! Writing me… I’m looking forward to meeting you.
Carlos

P.S. It’s true we don’t know what we had until it gone.” But it’s also true we don’t know what we been missing until it arrives.

WILLIAM DAVIS

Dear Lord save me I confess to my sins but the life that I chose is messed up. I rather die then to live this fast life . I analyze my surroundings seeing my people fall victim to the system – 25 years to life is what they giving. I see no evil, speak no evil, hear not evil but all I think is evil. The devil keeps coming at me from both sides. I cant no better yet I wont let him get to me cause I have self pride. But I pray and pray but nothing seems to go my way. Mama always told me a hard head make a soft ass. And that you can make the bed now lay in it. They say knowledge is understanding but so many people don’t have knowledge itself and it’s a shame. Brothers killing each other for nothing instead of coming together as one to fight for out rights and the system for holding us down so long. They tried to destroy us byu throwing us in this helluva place. We need to educate our young so they will be filled with so much knowledge and wont fall face first. I’ve been in the darkness but now I see the light cause it’s never too late to learn new things.

I would like my ad to profile that bad things happen to good people and I am one of God’s people. It was said that he brought you to it, he will bring you through it-well , I was given 16 ½ years in and 13 years out- for 2 counts of reckless endangerment. I was given 14 years in and 10 years out for a car accident and an almost accident. One care crashed into the truck that I was driving and a separate incident which the care said they almost ran into the back of the truck. That one I was charged with two counts but one was thrown out at trial which they all should have been. I also got one count of domestic violence which was for when I slapped my girl friend and one count of disorderly conduct. I’m currently waiting for my appeal which my brief was sent to the courts a week ago. The D.A. on the case was fired for the stuff that he pulled to get me here

I’ve accepted the guilt for the domestic violence and I have identified the problem that I had with drinking alcohol. I’m currently on the list for A.D.O.A. program that is not at the placement where I am . But I am hoping that I can get the treatment that I need cause I would like to be delivered from alcohol. I’m currently at CCI . I am approaching 38 years of age in 4 months. I am alone at this time and would like to have a friend to correspond to . My friends call me Fleet. Hopefully, that someone is you . God Bless you.

ROLANDO GIL
Dear Readers, please hear me out:
How are you? I hope and pray by the time you read this scripture coming from a voice behind the walls it will find you and your loved ones in the very best if health both mentally and physically as well as spiritually.
My name is Rolando A, Gil. I was born 11-01-75 in Havana, Cuba. I came to the US to be united with my mother at the age of l4. I lived in Miami Florida and Milwaukee Wisconsin. When my mother send for me to come to United States she has highly expectations for me giving me a chance to have a better future, but the path of my destiny was expose to the gangs crime of society when I attended high school… My mother was too busy trying to raised my two younger brothers by herself, so she was completely blind to who was my daily associates and what I was doing within the outside of her house. I remember at a time working a full time job in a grocery store as a “bag boy” putting customer grocery in plastic bag. I was in the 10th grade leaving school at 2:30 pm and starting at work 3:00pm to 11:00 pm. I was giving all my pay checks to my mother. I only kept the tips from customers. It was a very hard thing for me because English was a language I needed to learn and 70% of my classes was only English classes, so I end up going to summer school to be able to pass to the 11th grade by gathering the credit I needed to pass. By my junior year I only worked in the summer time 2 jobs – a part time and gull time. When I became a senior in high school I left my mother’s house .. she was very upset with me and she told no matter what - I better graduate from high school and bring her the high school diploma. So no matter what I did in the street I staying going to school and 1993 I graduated from Riverside High School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I took the diploma to my mother and I started selling drugs to provide for myself within the street. I always help my mother with the bills telling her the money was coming from a legit job

I was well respected in my neighborhood not for being a bad ass, but for always helping others in need. If you had no money to feed the kids I would take you shopping in a grocery store for food for the kids. I always give the kids money for candy and ice cream in the street. No one would intend to fight me in a hand to hand battle because I was a very good fighter – a skill I develop since my childhood. In Cuba by attending boxing classes and wrestling- judo. I always won my street fighting battles, eventhough I learned how to use a gun, I never hurt anyone with a gun, so I was never out carrying a gun. Most people always believes I have one with me at all times, but I didn’t always kept the gun at my house.

Well, by the summer of 1994 money was growing fast and rival gangs starting to moves to my neighborhood. I end up getting shot coming out of a corner store in the chest with a 45 caliber gun. I got shot 3 inches from my heart. Somehow I survived. I left the hospital a week later after being shot.. and started to get back on the street . Once I heard from a friend there is someone in a hotel with 10 pounds of weed. I decided to go in there and take the weed from the person, but this person end up to be a police informant who was setting us up and we end up getting caught at the hotel room and my friend shot the informant twice. Once in the chest and once in his neck, but he didn’t die THANKS GOD.

I did not want to have such a death within my conscious, so I end up getting 32 years in prison for my involvement in the crime. I got parole 111\2 years later. So emigration pick me up and I did 6 months in a emigration jail and I got out Aug. 25, 2006. Twelve years behind bars goes within intriguing flow, so somehow I make it out of prison. I starting working for temporary job services agencies for the whole year I was out on parole, plus I end up finding a legit hustler selling hip-hop clothing and shoes out of my car. I went to the city hall and got me a commercial license, so the police could not take none of the clo0thing within my car or in my house. A friend from New York hook me up with the clothing and shoes for good prices, since I knew who was the people selling the drugs in the neighborhood I used to drive around selling the clothes to drug dealers, plus in barbershops and anywhere the opportunity present itself..

Some young guys starting to get jealous and burned one of my cars from the back yard of my house . I end up getting 2 guns to protecting myself in my house, and someone call the police telling them I was a convicted felon with guns in the house. They came in by braking the front door and arresting me. They found the 2 guns. I was revoke within the parole sentences plus 5 years federal time running consecutive to my parole time. The Feds got mad at me because I refuse to tell them about the drug dealers in my neighborhood and they call the region chief of the parole board so I get revocate it for all the time available for revocation – 20 years!!
I end up getting those 20 years for a parole violation which its completely insane to received 20 years of revocation for possession of firearms, since I did not have a good attorney to represent me within the revocation cases it hurt me badly.

The prison system have good programs for those who are trying to chance to become better individuals.. I strongly suggest that the public look into the prisoners life with a open minded because we are not all killers or rapers, there is men in prison who deserved a second chance. We are all men have flawed within ourselves- as well as women …

Society should explore more about embracing inmate back to the street then trying to keep them within prison walls. There is young men in prison who have the potential to overcome the shortcoming.

Young men with a conscious of humanity, with the tools to prevail within society, when it become a crime to protect your property?? Thank you for reading this scripture. I hope and pray who ever reads this scripture could define a better view of prisoners and be able to break free from the shackles of deception the media and others have created toward inmates!
