Stumbled upon your blog today and it opened up my thinking in areas not normally accessed. Considering the idea that my moral judgement and perspective may not be superior to yours because I was not tested with the same circumstances but more importantly causing me to think about how what might be the best consequences for criminal acts. I don’t know enough about your circumstances to form a conclusion but you have been in there for a long time and society might well benefit from your contributions as a free man. I don’t know if you are religious but religion tends to regard circumstances as god given and clearly you are making something out of a terrible experience.

Hi Susanne,
Thank you for taking a moment to share a bit about your experience as a family member dealing with the complexities of prison. It certainly is not easy, and your husband is fortunate to have your ongoing love and support.
We appreciate your interest in PrisonNewsBlog, I always mail comments from readers to Micahel.
Best wishes,
Carole Santos

I’m a new reader to your site and have found the information very insightful and informative. I have and will continue passing information onto my husband who faces a prison sentence. He is scheduled for sentencing on 032309. I don’t want to go into his charges here but would love to speak or write after you are out. I have quite a few goals;one of which is working on prison reform. I can tell you it is a waste in more ways than one to incarcerate a good, kind, well educated man, like my husband, who had a error in poor judgement on a computer. My next goal is to educate others on the evil side of the internet and thirdly I want to help the families of those faced with a loved one going to prison. It’s very scary when those, like me, have no experience on this side of life.
Also, he may get to choose where he serves his time. He knows it will be minimum security and he’s considering Taft or Lompoc. Thoughts or recommendations? Keep up the great work. I look forward to hearing from you.
