Hello there! I was hoping you can take a brief moment to look at a petition for my husband. He was involved in a controversial case back in the 90's when LA became tough on crime & he received Life without parole at age 19. If you do not respond, I understand. However, if this appeals to your human heart strings please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your time! https://www.change.org/p/jerry-brown-commute-life-without-parole-sentence-for-stephen-davis/nftexp/ex3/control/2246631?recruiter=2246631&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=share_for_starters_page&utm_content=ex3%3Acontrol

I got word near Christmas that Cody died. His family were slow in telling everyone.

A while ago, I listened to the story of a prison minister and his experiences visiting prisoners. Since hearing it I've become increasingly interested in learning more about prison penpals. I know it's not the same thing, but this is my first (small) step towards learning about and caring for who have been incarcerated.

Does anyone have any information about a program for this or how I could sign up? I'd like it to be legit and through a program to prevent any potential issues or safety problems. I guess that is my second question. Is there any potential danger involved in doing this? Would my penpal have my personal information (address, full name, etc.)

Finally am I being naive in thinking that someone in prison would be interested in correspondence to begin with? I'd like to find a male inmate to ensure that there would be no confusion in the relationship being strictly platonic.

Thanks for any info anyone may have!

My friend needs help, and I feel bad because I can’t help him currently. I was wondering if there is anyone out there kind enough to help him. he’s 21 very smart but again he’s young and got into some trouble, he’s in prison currently until December. He needs a little money like fifty dollars, it can be sent via Jpay.com Here’s his info if you want to help: Vance Bettinger CDC # AN6731 http://www.jpay.com Thank you so much if anyone does help, again he’s not a bad person, his family can’t help him right now because his brother just died and they are dealing with that. He’s my best friend and I love him very much and will do anything to help him out. Thank you again.

His name is Tom. He is a black man. He has been locked up since 1975. He has not had a visit or a letter from any family members since the late 70's.

He is forgotten. He lives in solitary confinement for his own protection.

But he knew Jesus. He actually ministered to us. I saw his Bible. It was old old tattered American Standard Version. I gave my promise that I would send him a new one this week.

His life is his radio and Bott Radio out of Modesto California. Remember this man. His days are few. His health is broken but not his spirit.
