Hello,

This is Jason L., sorry I haven’t had the chance to write you as often as I would have liked to.

I don’t have bread/money on my account to get stamps, but I’ll send it soon as I can.

What if, what could/should I have done to avoid this…Thoughts of my daughters and family matters can be overwhelming at times and I go into this sort of “funk.”

I’m doing what’s required of me, in order that I’ll be able to submit my request transfer request whenever the time arises. I don’t want any infractions or disciplinary problems to hinder that. So, I’m pretty much what you’d call “a model prisoner.” Continue reading
