BAYSIDE STATE PRISON...PHONES NOT WORKING

I SPOKE TO THE SOCIAL WORKER TODAY, AT BAYSIDE STATE PRISON.  SHE SAID THE PHONE LINES AT BAYSIDE ARE DOWN, AND ARE BEING WORKED ON.  SO, THERE IS NOTHING ANYONE CAN DO, BUT WAIT, PATIENTLY.  I KNOW THE INMATES THERE MUST BE A VERY UNHAPPY GROUP OF PEOPLE, AT THIS TIME.  AS YOU ARE WELL AWARE OF, INMATES RELY ON THIER PHONE CALLS TO MAKE IT THROUGH EACH AND EVERY DAY, AND TO BE SEPERATED FROM THEIR LOVED ONES, IN THIS WAY, IS YET ANOTHER FORM OF TORTURE THEY MUST ENDURE, DESPITE EVERYTHING ELSE.........WHAT I UNDERSTAND IS THAT BAYSIDE SWITCHED OVER TO THIS NEW PHONE SERVICE, AND THEY MUST BE EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES.

FOR SOME GOOD NEWS, I HAD ANOTHER LITTLE STORY PUBLISHED IN THE "ASBURY PARK PRESS," TODAY  (FEB. 8, 2006).  IT IS NOT IN THE NEWSPAPER, ITSELF, BUT CAN BE READ ON-LINE.  IT IS A STORY ABOUT JIMMY'S MARRIAGE PROPOSAL TO ME.

SO, I'LL TRY TO EXPLAIN HOW TO GET THERE....

GO TO,  WWW.APP.COM

CLICK ON "WEB EXTRA BUTTON."

CLICK ON THE LINK FOR "MORE MARRIAGE PROPOSALS."

YOU WILL FIND "FRAN AND JIMMY'S" STORY....HOW WE MET IN LAS VEGAS, ETC...WELL, HE NEVER ACTUALLY PROPOSED.  HE "TOLD ME," 'I'M COMING BACK THERE TO VEGAS TO MARRY YOU."   I ANSWERED, "THE SOONER, THE BETTER!"

WELL, READ THE WHOLE STORY FOR YOURSELVES!.........FRAN

NO COMMUNICATION

THERE HAS BEEN NO COMMUNICATION BETWEEN JIMMY AND MYSELF...TOMORROW WILL BE ONE WEEK...I KNOW AT THIS POINT HE IS GOING CRAZY, BECAUSE I AM THE ONE PERSON THAT HE WANTS TO TALK TO, AND CAN'T.....SOCIETY TRYS THEIR BEST TO KEEP US APART...BUT THEY STILL CAN'T, BECAUSE JIMMY AND I HAVE A UNIQUE METHOD OF COMMUNICATION, DESPITE ALL THIS.  IT ONLY STRENGTHENS US.....AND THAT COMMUNICATION, BY THE WAY, IS THROUGH OUR MINDS....SOMETHING MOST PEOPLE CANNOT DO.

I WAS BUSY ALL DAY....RUNNING ERRANDS...DOING PAPER-WORK....POST OFFICE....LOTS OF THINGS...LOTS OF PHONE CALLS ...TALKING TO PEOPLE.

I SPENT TIME IN THE CHURCH TODAY...THAT WAS MY MAIN CONCERN.....GOING TO THE CHURCH.  I VISITED THE SAME SHRINES AND GROTTO THAT JIMMY AND I WENT TO TOGETHER ON HIS FURLOUGHS HOME LAST FALL.

AFTER CALLING SEVERAL TIMES TODAY, I FINALLY GOT THROUGH TO THE PHONE SYSTEM PLACE...IT IS A NEW PHONE SYSTEM  BEING USED AT BAYSIDE...MOST OF THE DAY THEIR COMPUTERS ARE DOWN.  I FINALLY GOT THROUGH AT 5 PM TODAY, HAVING BEEN PUT ON HOLD FOR 1/2 HOUR.  SHE CHECKED THE LINES...JIMMY HAS BEEN TRYING TO CALL...PROBABLY LIKE A MILLION TIMES..BUT THE PHONE SYSTEM HAD A PROBLEM ON IT...SHE SUPPOSEDLY FIXED EVERYTHING...THE LINES ARE ALL OPENED....SO MAYBE HE WILL GET THROUGH TOMORROW....

SO, THAT IS IT.  LIFE GOES ON........FRAN

good morning

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE....

IT'S A BRIGHT, SUNNY DAY, HERE IN SOUTH JERSEY...COLD AND CRISP.  I'LL BE GOING OUT EARLY , TODAY, TO DO SOME ERRANDS.......WALMART, TO BUY CASES OF CAT FOOD, AND THEN FOOD SHOPPING IN SHOP-RITE. 

I'M SITTING HERE SIPPING ON MY MORNING CUP OF COFFEE....I HAD A VERY NICE PEACEFUL SLEEP LAST NIGHT.  I WAS READING ONE OF EDGAR CAYCE'S BOOKS LAST NIGHT, ABOUT THE CIRCLES AND CYCLES OF LIFE.  CYCLES IN LIFE ARE IN 7-YEAR CYCLES.....AS WE GET OLDER, THE CIRCLES OF LIFE TEND TO BECOME MORE SPIRAL,  INSTEAD OF GOING AROUND IN CIRCLES.......WHEN WE REALIZE ALL THESE THINGS HE TALKS ABOUT, WE WILL REALIZE THAT WE ARE ALL PART OF A BALANCED AND ORGANIZED UNIVERSE...NOT CHAOTIC, AS WE MAY SOMETIMES FEEL IN THIS CRAZY, WORLD OF OURS, WHICH APPEARS UP-SIDE DOWN, AND MIXED UP AT TIMES.

I'LL LET YOU KNOW LATER, IF JIMMY CALLS....

bayside prison

IT'S MONDAY EVENING...STILL HAVEN'T HEARD FROM JIMMY.  LAST CONTACT BY PHONE WAS LAST WEDNESDAY...THAT IS 6 DAYS AGO. 

NO PHONE CALLS....ONE LETTER RECEIVED.

I SPENT 2 HOURS ON THE PHONE TODAY, GETTING THE RUN- AROUND.....ONE BIG CIRCLE...CALL HERE, CALL THERE....NOBODY EVER SEEMS TO KNOW........AND THAT IS JUST HOW IT IS...YOU'D THINK I'D BE USED TO IT BY NOW, BUT I'M NOT.......

I FINALLY GOT SOME SATISFACTION FROM AT AT&T, CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION DEPT.  A VERY NICE WOMAN SPOKE WITH ME.  SHE CHECKED EVERYTHING ON THE COMPUTER FOR ME, VERY METICULOUSLY.  SHE SAID THERE WERE NO BLOCKS, ON THEIR END.  SHE SAW I HAD PAID THE $700.00 LAST WEEK.  THERE WERE NO PAYMENTS DUE AT THIS TIME.  SHE SAW THAT JIMMY'S LAST CALL WAS AT 7:20 AM, TO CALL ME BEFORE HE LEFT.  SHE SAW THAT WE HAVE AN ACCOUNT WITH AT&T CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS, SINCE 2003, WHEN JIMMY FIRST WENT TO BAYSIDE...SHE SAW I HAVE BEEN PAYNG BETWEEN $700.00 to $1200.00/MONTH, FAITHFULLY, EXCEPT WHEN JIMMY WAS AT KINTOCK, THE HALF-WAY HOUSE, BECAUSE HE COULD USE A PHONE CARD THERE.

SO, I Will SIT AND PATIENTLY WAIT.

DID YOU KNW THAT ONE OF THE CORPORAL WORKS OF MERCY, IN THE CATHOLIC FAITH IS,  "TO VISIT THE IMPRISONED."

AND SO, I PUT MY FAITH IN THE LORD, AND PATIENTLY WAIT FOR MY HUSBAND........I PATIENTLY WAIT FOR THIS NIGHT-MARE TO BE OVER ONE DAY...HAVING SOME ONE IN PRISON IS A NIGHT-MARE, BY FAR AND LARGE....

ANYONE THINKING OF COMMITTING A CRIME SHOULD READ THIS JOURNAL, AND SEE EXACTLY HOW IT IS......IT IS A LIFETIME OF TENSION AND STRESS...FOR YOURSELF, AND OTHERS............

BELIEVE ME.  IT IS A BEAUTIFUL WORLD OUT THERE........NOT WORTH IT TO BE IN PRISON...........IF YOU DO IT THE RIGHT WAY IN LIFE, YOU CAN HAVE EVERYTHING, WITHOUT COMMITTING A CRIME....AND IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO CHANGE.

BAYSIDE STATE PRISON, LEESBURG, NEW JERSEY

JIMMY'S FIRST LETTER FROM BAYSIDE STATE PRISON, ARRIVED!  (it got here yesterday, Saturday, but I got it out of the mailbox today).

HE SAYS HE IS DOING GOOD, BUT MISSES ME. ...HE WRITES, " I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH, I CANNOT STAND IT."

"I HOPE TO HAVE MY PIN NUMBER ON MONDAY, THE 6TH, SO I CAN CALL YOU."........IT IS NOW 4 OR 5 DAYS, SINCE WE SPOKE ON THE PHONE.

"YOU ARE ALL I LIVE FOR IN THIS WORLD."...."PLEASE HOLD STRONG!"....'NEVER AGAIN WILL I BE AWAY FROM YOU...NEVER!".........JIMMY WRITES.

"I KNOW YOU WONDER HOW I AM HERE.  I AM OK.  AS OK AS I CAN BE WITHOUT YOU."

"THEY HAVE ME IN THE TRAILORS.  I MAY BE PUT ON THE "FARM."......."I DO NOT CARE.  ALL I WANT IS TO BE WITH YOU."

IT IS NOW, AS OF TODAY, 28 DAYS UNTIL JIMMY IS PAROLLED.  THAT IS, 4 WEEKS AS OF TOMORROW, MONDAY.  I CONTINUE TO CHECK THE DAYS OFF ON THE CALENDER THAT JIMMY MADE FOR ME, THAT HANGS ON OUR BEDROOM WALL.

....HERE I GO AGAIN, COUNTING DAYS, WEEKS...LIVING IN THE WORLD OF COUNTING, AS WE ALL DO IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!

ONE OF THE READER'S OF THIS JOURNAL ASKED ME ABOUT CONJUGAL VISITS.  AS FAR AS I KNOW, CONJUGAL VISITS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY.  I BELIEVE IT DIFFERS STATE TO STATE.  IF IT WERE ALLOWED HERE, I WOULD BE THE FIRST TO BE THERE, THOUGH.  IT WOULDN'T BOTHER ME AT ALL, BECAUSE I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO BE WITH MY HUSBAND, EVEN FOR JUST ONE NIGHT...JUST TO SLEEP IN HIS LOVING ARMS......ONE PERSON TOLD ME HOW STRANGE IT IS...YOU ARE PUT IN A STARK, BARREN ROOM, WITH 1 PILLOW AND BLANKET...1 TOWEL AND WASHCLOTH.  IT IS ALL VERY ODD, AND "STERILE," FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD...VERY IMPERSONAL, LET'S SAY.  AND THEN, YOU FEEL AS IF PEOPLE ARE WATCHING YOU...THAT YOU ARE ON CAMERA, WHICH I GUESS YOU MAY VERY WELL BE..........WELL, I'M THE TYPE OF PERSON THAT WOULDN'T CARE......I WOULD BE VERY HAPPY TO BE WITH MY HUSBAND, THAT'S ALL!

I SENT JIMMY 2 VALENTINE'S DAY CARDS.  I HOPE THEY GET THERE .

I AM DOING OK, HERE AT HOME...THE HOUSE IS QUITE...THE PHONE NEVER RINGS....IT GIVES ME A CHANCE TO BE MORE IN PRAYER, WITH THE LORD...........

GOOD-NITE EVERYONE.........MAY YOU SOON BE RE-UNITED WITH THE ONE YOU LOVE!............FRAN
