Sitater fra innsatte
- “In here a friend's letter is worth more than gold. Although I'm surrounded by people 24 hours a day, I often feel as if I'm here alone.” (Q.B., Reidsville, GA)
- “Mail is the only thing to look forward to in here...” (J.S., Camp Lejeune, NC)
- “I’ve been down for 15 years on a life sentence for murder robbery that I committed when I was 18. At that time of my life I was very confused and used drugs and alcohol, trying to find myself. Because of all the choices I made, all those years ago, I have spent my adult life in prison. Aside from the few family members I have left, I have had little contact with the streets and would like to meet someone who won't pre-judge me because of where I am and for the mistakes I made. I deserve to be in prison for what I did, but I am no longer the same person who did those things.” (T.Y., Hagerstown, MD)
- “Prison has taught me the true meaning of loneliness - what it means to be separated from everything that's real... My struggle is not to become a product of this environment...” (G.S., Malone, FL)
- “I'm terribly lonely. Whenever the mailman passes my door, which is often, my heart sinks to new lows.” (R.V., Coalinga, CA)

Ah... Inspirerende ord, ja. :) Forstår så mye som at det betyr enormt mye for h*n som sitter inne bak murene... Både interessant og vondt å lese.
