Readers' Comment Feedback

July 14th, 2012

In keeping with my committment to provide an open dialogue with readers, I'll post my feedback to readers' comments.

Muzuzuzus - Thank you for the kind words and I'm glad that you joined the PPP readership. As for your interests in age-old methods of healing long-ago (and some still used) used by indigenous peoples, I think that if properly used, and not abused, as well as respected and utilized to heal rather than to gain financial wealth, these methods would hugely benefit our committments and make society less dependant on unnatural chemicals, which are plaguing our planet. Having both abused both natural and unnatural medicines, I see only two differences between the two. Who prospers the most and who legalized / outlawed what. Think about it... who legally makes, sells and gains from Wellbutrin (antidepressant)? Who would grow, sell and gain from an all-natural plant that indigenous peoples have known about and used to treat the same condition? Who cares less about pollution and our planet's wilderness? Who has tried to protect and conserve the natural resources?

Shaun's Anonymous Fellow Countryman - In addition to humility and kindness possessed by humanity, in some places there's also the freedom to choose. If only more chose humility and kindness.

A.J. - Currently my release date is February 2013, despite ADC's assertion it's December 2012. I lost alot of good time the past year. Why? I'll wait until after February to discuss that. ADC records reflect many drug-related tickets. I'll only admit that an addict can only take so much exposure before... however, don't let ADC records fool you. Today, I'm clean. Wary of what I blog and what I state to local publications.

Big Jason - It's great to see you're still reading (since PPP's start basically). I'm so looking forward to being free! I'll certainly keep writing and putting my voice out there.

Jon - February 2013 begins another chapter in my life. The cuffs (gloves) come off and the real fun begins. (Like a high-profile madam's tell-all autobiography hitting the shelves! LOL)

Arizona Prison Discussion

June 24th, 2012

For the past year or so, I've seen many articles and stories in Arizona newspapers and broadcasts dealing with medical care, security, corruption, murders, suicides, drugs, escapes, violence & assaults on inmates / staff, drug over-doses and budget related issues inside Arizona's state prison system. What I haven't seen is the public's opinion, questions and answers.

Today I ask all Persevering Prison Pages' readers their concerns & opinions and offer to answer questions you might have regarding Arizona prisons and what you've been hearing. Your opinions, concerns and questions have been absent in these articles, despite nearly $2 Billion of your tax dollars being provided annually to Arizona prisons, and your lives being affected by this in one way or another.

Let your voices be heard.
