I really liked the Bits & Pieces section – more of that would be great.

Could you please include more two-person games or activities we can do in our cells when locked in?

Is there any possibility of starting a pen pal system, where people can write in and be connected with others?

I’d love to see articles on how to write better – anything to help us improve.

Thanks for the paper – it’s something a lot of us look forward to.

It is not a pleasurable experience. It is very difficult to face all those emotions and reflect over the course of your whole life.

By Daniel

You can have as many support workers and parole officers as you can get, but it will never make you stop doing crimes. It has to come from within yourself.
