To About Time,
During a long stay of about 6 months in prison, I came across a few fellow inmates who needed help with sorting their pile(s) of mixed documents which were kept in one or two used envelopes. All that was needed were three or four document wallets for separating all their papers eg: Legal, Medical, Parole etc. This would be especially helpful for the inmates who had trouble reading, as when they get a legal letter/document, they could recognise the headings on the front of the document wallets & file the mail accordingly. This would be a relief as they don’t then have to search through a mess of papers, and means less stress and anxiety. However, some prisons do not have or do not allow the provision of this stationary. I think we need more things to be available on the buy-up such as document wallets, plastic folders, and magnifying reading glasses.
Thank you for reading,
Jeffrey

When I paint, I'm not in prison anymore. I'm lost for hours in my artwork.
I’d think there are a lot of inmates looking for someone to talk to, for some people it might help with the healing process.
Since having my first ever grandson nearly 3 years ago now, it’s made me realise that I not only want to change, but I need to do it not only for myself but for my family.
My name is Jean. I am a wiry spitfire, 65 years young, and incarcerated for the past 24 years with a L.W.O.P. (Life Without Parole) sentence.
