Mr. Santos:

In you article entitled “When prisoners ask me for guidance” you indicate that other inmates approach you with help on their legal cases. You briefly indicated that you do not like helping inmates with their legal things, but you do advise them “that they must not expect the prison system to change their lives for the better. Instead, they must expect interference from both administrators and their fellow prisoners. If they can understand the negative influences of the penitentiary, they then can make strategic decisions to thrive in spite of the atmosphere.”

My question to you are; How often do prisoners ask for your help or advice and why? And how often do the inmates take your advice/suggestions and make it, in prison?

I appreciate that you have been taking time to contribute to my education and the understanding of corrections. I have enjoyed reading your book and other articles/blogs that you have posted. I am looking forward to continue to read on what you need to say about life behind bars.

Thank you,
Johanna Monique Galaviz
