I have a book about my personal journey of 45 years in this system which fails to use the time of incarceration to form offenders into better community members. Continuing to focus on punishment is only going to create future victims of crime. I write about the stories of those who have interesting lives before coming to prison. I also have been married to a wonderful woman for the past 21 years of this time. She has taught me so much. I plan to write about prison romance and the high cost folks on the street who love prisoners pay for that. I have a manuscript partially finished about doing time in the 1960's in one of the old castle-like prisons in West Virginia. I came to prison at 23 years old and am now 66. I messed up my life. I also want to attend to victims of crime. People should be told there are prisoners who actually understand the damage done and the need for someone to apologize.view less
