Someone poured water in our new TV so the new year begins with 34 women forced to find ourselves with one less diversion to keep us bound to self-delusions. As hard as it is to face reality, prison leaves you a lot of time to face up to the mess of your own making. Whoever…

I received another letter from my ex-husband, two in a month. What a nice surprise. My fan went out last week so I have been begging everyone for fan funds. Today I will attempt to blueslip a fan… I stand in faith that money will be there. I earned my first dollar from my writing.…

Halloween just passed and we didn’t even get anything special for dinner. What a sham! Not even a little piece of candy. I hope they do better on Turkey day because I sure would like me a piece of some turkey. Last Christmas or I mean last Thanksgiving we didn’t get any turkey so I’m…
