Kimorn:tyrone

This is something that one of kimorns friends wrote for me to put up on my blog I will say something at the end.

I am a second time offender and I made one of my greatest mistakes ever. I went home unprepared and when I went out there I started to commit crimes cause I was not ready to be let out in the world. Can you imagine that I am saying that I was not ready to go home and be out in the world you may say that I was insititutionalize uh? But it is quite the contrary I am just being real. My family has basically written me off and said that I have taken them down that road too many times and was not goin 2 ride down the rough road of incarceration no more. I dont blame them,so what i learned from my mistake was that I should prepare,but a high price to pay for the lesson that I learned. The game is not mean to be told it is meant to be sold uh? Well I paid the ultimate price, first my family abandoned me, then I turned to drugs then my money abandoned me,then my freedom..That one didnt abandon me it I gave it away for nothing...Well I am in Prison with a life sentence and I have recently put an ad on the internet to see if someone out there can help me carry the load of this heavy sentence...But time will tell but for right now I have already understood that it was me and the system that was created to rehabilitate did not help me in the ways that I needed. I know that I need to help myself so I have been so much reading and research to fight my case and go home and reclaim my freedom...Thank you for listening to one mans outcry...

And now what I want to say..just recently I read an online article about an elderly man who had been released from prison after spending most of his life in there, last year he had committed bank robbery and why? Just so he can go back to his "home" in prison. I think it's such a sad thing that these guys go through that. And what Tyrone is saying is just something everyone else must feel, I think that it's all due to the lack of preparation to help the convicted to get into the real world. Some prisons so I've heard do have programmes that help them to prepare before their release but some don't.  What hope for the future do they have if the justice stysem over there or anywhere else won't help them to better themselves,won't help to give them reason to do better? I think I'm saying the right thing. One thing they do need I know for sure is a support system. Even though they've done wrong in the past doesn't mean they won't do wrong again and again. A lot of people may not have faith in them and that's why they do not have faith in themselves. Because they feel no one cares,no one believes in them, I think having a penpal a friend to talk to though will help them to move in the right direction and when times are tough on them they can have someone to turn to talk to, to ask for advice when they need it.

Thanks for reading
