a prison cell is made for a man that breaks the law.
it is a small box with four walls that makes a mans heart not warm at all.
it takes a solid and mentally strong individual not to lose his mind in a place like this...
ive seen murderers and rapists and thieves wish they didnt exist.
i put myself here so i dont ever complain.
i occupy my mind and and i keep busy...i strive to keep myself sane.
in the state of Texas a confirmed gang member is to be confined twenty three hours a day
and this prison system is crowded with gangs that grow day by day. 
some fellow inmates have been incarcerated for tens and tens of years...
and they have repented thier sins and turned to God for religious careers...
sixty percent of offenders in TDCJ have no chance for parole.
ive seen fellows pass away in thier cells some of sickness and some of disease and some were just too old....
this is a letter for all productive member of society who have a slight interest in a man or any individual who is isolated...
but i leave you with one question...:
what happens to a changed man that dies in his prison cell???
