Do not forget Prisoners this Holiday Season

This holiday season, do not forget friends or family who are prisoners of the state. It's taboo for us to discuss, but lots of us know someone doing time, reach out to someone who will be held captive away from their homes, friends and family this year. If you do not know anyone personally, here is a list of people who could use an encouraging word. Often times people will look to volunteer at local missions doing soup dinners ect. Not many stop to think of the people who are locked up. Just because someone is in Jail or Prison does not mean they are a bad person or that they should be forgotten. http://www.abcf.net/prisoner-contact-list/

I dont either right now luckily, but there are 2.2 mil people behind bars, many of which do not deserve to be there. Some of which are people who fought for safety and light in the war on drugs, check out this list for someone to write http://www.abcf.net/prisoner-contact-list/

Wonder if that kid that got popped for making brownies is still in the clink? That'd be someone I could send a few straight-from-the-publisher books to.

If you know where he was locked up, that is very possible, call the facility and ask about stipulations for sending and they might be able to give you his number to write to, just say you're an old friend

I'm in FDOC right now. Though I'm in the work release phase right now(thankfully, I'm almost done! March 21 I'm free!) But I just wanted to chime in and say I really appreciate this thread. Something as small as a letter or even just a picture in an envelope can make a prisoners day. Its especially tough right around this time.

Fixed. I was reading one of those cracked articles from someone who had been locked up and he said the guards would tell a prisoner he had visitor and he would get all excited and then say "oh wait it's not for you it's for another prisoner named Smith" and laugh. That is some sadistic shit right there. He said they even did the fake out "oh wait it's a mistake you have to go back" on his release day. Like brought him to the gate and then back, just to fuck with him. A power trip. No way this shit makes people better. I feel for anyone in that.
