JIMMY JUST CALLED.  HE SOUNDS GREAT!...LIKE HIS NORMAL USUAL SELF.....THE BOARD DID NOT SEE HIM TODAY, BECAUSE OF THE BIG SNOWSTORM.  (however, there was no snow here, where i live).  THEY WILL PROBABLY SEE HIM ON MONDAY, AND WILL TELL HIM WHERE HE WILL BE SENT.

AS FOR NOW, HE IS STILL LOCKED UP IN THE LITTLE CELL,24 hours / day...... HE HAS SOME TERRIBLE CHILDREN'S BOOK TO READ, AND THEY JUST NOW GAVE HIM A PUZZLE BOOK, SO HE WAS HAPPY ABOUT THAT!

hHE NOW HAS A ROOM MATE, WITH HIM IN THE LITTLE CELL.  HE SAYS HE WILL ONLY GO TO THE BATHROOM AT NIGHT, AS IT IS EMBARRASING TO GO BEFORE YOUR ROOMATE, WHO IS SITTING ALMOST ON TOP OF YOU..........

I SAID, IN SHOCK, "WHAT! YOU DON'T HAVE A PRIVATE TOILET!"   THAT WOULD CERTAINLY BE THE MOST DIFFICULT PART OF PRISON FOR ME....THAT THE TOILET IS RIGHT IN YOUR SMALL CELL...HOW DISGUSTING!

AND SO LIFE GOES ON....I LOVE MY HUSBAND SO MUCH..........

SOME OF THE PRISON GUARDS THAT ARE IN CRAF, REMEMBER JIMMY FROM MANY YEARS AGO, WHEN HE WAS IN "JONES FARM," WHICH IS CONNECTED WITH CRAF...............HE WAS IN PRISON AT THAT TIME, AND HAD BEEN GIVEN A WONDERFUL JOB, PLACING INMATES IN JOBS..........HE WAS THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR PLACING HUNDREDS OF INMATES IN JOBS WITHIN THE PRISON.....ACCORDING TO WHAT THEY WERE SUITED TO DOING........

ALSO, THEY ARE ALL SURPRISED THAT HE GOT MARRIED!...JIMMY TOLD THEM WE MET EACH OTHER, AND THAT I AGREED TO MARRY HIM, DESPITE THE FACT THAT HE WA GOING AWAY TO PRISON....................SUCH IS LOVE!.............

TALK TO YOU LATER!..................FRAN

Poor Jimmy having to be in those conditions while he waits to see where he will be sent. No privacy at all....so unfair....

I can understand being locked up for crimes, but I can't understand how prisoners are treated. Yes, there are some terrible people in prison, but there are also people like Jimmy who did a stupid/dumb thing and are paying their dues so to speak. They need to be treated with respect or how can they expect to come back into society after being treated like an animal?

You know all this, Fran; but it just irks me about the prison system.

You and Jimmy seem upbeat and that is what matters. You guys will lick this and get through it.

I can only imagine how that is myself.  I hope they get to hear his case soon.
