Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor:

I enjoyed the articles by Jawwaad Hasan and look forward to reading more from him. Can I get his personal address so I can write him directly?

Dear Editor:

Jawwaad Hasan is a welcome addition to your newsletter. I really liked his article and thanks to you guys at I STAND for giving voice to talented Black men like Jawwaad in prisons. We don’t hear enough good stuff that they do. Everybody is redeemable. Hi Jawwaad! I am a new fan!

Tamera Jackson, Chicago, IL.

Dear Editor:

I am happy to say I received a complimentary copy of your newsletter from my brother Jaime Harrison who is in prison in Texas. He sent it to me to prove his point that there are men in prison who are intelligent and thinking positively. Jawwaad Hasan proves his point well. This article in the September copy I got is very interesting and I even took it to work and shared it with my coworkers. Of course al the women think Jawwaad is cute, but we like his writing too!

Dear Editor:

The article on “The National Emotional Literacy Project for Prisoners” (September issue), was interesting and a program that should benefit all inmates. I also enjoyed the poetry and the two articles on “Boot Camps”. Keep up the good work.

Dear Editor:

My daughter was recently arrested and my son who is in prison sent me I STAND Prison Newsletter with the article “What Parents Should Know About the Juvenile Justice System” This article helped me going through the process with my daughter. She is home now, on probation and seeing a counselor. I also got her to join an afterschool program because she told me she shoplifted because she was bored and I wouldn't let her go anywhere. I just don't want to see her in prison like her brother.

I am hoping someone would write to my brother, he is incarcerated and
in need of friendship from both male and female, please feel free to
write, he only wants to make friends and to be encouraged.

Greetings,

I just visited your web site and was looking over some of the pages.
We are a prison ministry that was begun at the request of an inmate,
our
"son" Christopher Dunn.

I wanted to find an address of the main person who is doing the
newsletter
"I Stand" but didn't see it. So I will give you Christopher's address
and
hope someone will write and also send him a copy of the newsletter to
preview.

God bless,
Beth Michael

(note: At this time we do not wish to be promoted on the inside as we
already get twice as many inmates as people to write to them)

Are you for real? Do you really look like that close up? Are you married and do you have a family and what is it you look for in a woman? I am single, Puerto Rican and live in New Jersey.hit me back!

Im trying to contact you again, because I feel that it is important that you get to know me as an individual and not look at me as only a white woman. I know you may consider yourself a revolutionary. But I think that if you got to know me as a person and allow me to show you that there are some white people who are genuine then you would change your views. Just give it a chance.

Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:

Oh what a wonderful publication is I STAND!! My son is in prison in Illinois and I sent him the paper and he wrote me back saying that I should read it every chance I get. Good luck from a caring mother in Los Angeles.

Another email to let you know how much I love the I Stand and would love to get to know you. If you married or something I know you have friends that are like you so I can meet them if you are not single. I know you probably getting a lot of emails now from the cover story on the site. But I am willing to show you I am something more special.

Dear Editor:

I have been a loyal reader of your paper since 1999. I live in New York and was amazed to discover the paper I thought long dead was not only alive but ONLINE!

Its been 2 long years since I heard a word out of you brothas. So instead of asking a lot of what happened questions I just want to know is this the new concept for the paper from now on and will it only be online?

Congratulations on a great comeback!

I am not a prison groupie but the fact is that most good brothas are imprisoned. On the outside I know brothas that are married or gay or playas and I have had several penships over the years with men in prisons. They usually just want a solid friendship and consistency in letters. Sometimes a card or a book helps. There are users too, but a smart woman can see through the bull... I enjoyed the readings and art on the BWP Internet site, and look forward to reading more on a monthly basis. I am 32, Latin Black (Puerto Rican and African parents) I am 165 lbs and 59 honey brown with natural long wavy hair. I like to read and work out doing Boxing at my neighborhood gym. I work as a computer operator and live alone with my cat Dusty! Write whenever you can and I will reply! Looking forward to a new friend?
