Loved Ones in Prison

[Jessica]

I am disturbed. I just found this. I talked to Pimp last night, and he didn't say anything about it. He just sounded depressed.

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) Corrections officials say a state prison inmate has died of an apparent suicide.

Twenty-six-year-old Webster Running was found unresponsive in a cell at the Mike Durfee State Prison in Springfield on Tuesday. He was pronounced dead at a hospital in Tyndall. An autopsy is planned.

Running was sentenced in 2006 to eight years in prison on a drug charge out of Lincoln County.

that's terrible

me & my little hood on his 18th...

He looks like a guy I know.

 

[JanieDough]

:homo:

so Pimp just called..

and he was telling me they have this chomo in there
who was caught on the predator show with Chris Hansen

also, there's a guy in there
who's been imprisoned for doing unspeakable things to chickens
they call him Cluckers...

 

[Jessica]

wow weird crimes

People like that would be segregated over her otherwise the'd probably get killed by the other inmates.

 

[DuhhhBlond]

yeah, he said those two are in another level called D3,
but he sees them at meals
although some of the chomos (like the statutory rapists)
are in the same area as pimp

the part of the prison pimp is in is minimum security
it's a giant polebarn
filled with bunks
absolutely no privacy,
but he says they keep it heated nicely

in his area of the pole barn
he is surrounded by kids his age
with similiar crimes
and most are college screw-ups like him

in minimum,
he can move freely
going outside whenever he wants
and to the rec rooms
to play pool and poker, and lift weights

 

[Jessica]

at least he can move freely...

one night a few weeks ago
I was driving home from work through a snowstorm and alot of curves
and the song Killing Me softly came on the local radio station
i used to always sing that to Pimp when he was little
I cranked up the volume and sang as loud and with all my heart as I could, when I heard it


the next night Pimp called home and said,
"Mom, last night, I heard that Killing Me Softly song that you used to sing to me."

Oh babe....I dont know how you can stand it.

 

[DuhhhBlond]

I don't know, either, Cam, I really don't....

thanks for commiserating, though

I have hope again!

I'll explain...

when i drove out to visit Pimp before
that was when he was still in jail awaiting sentencing
I hadn't been to the prison yet because I was denied visitation
(I never posted that part before because it was too depressing)
a convicted felon cannot visit at a prison
but my prior felony convictions are minor ones and old
or the most recent (2007) was a felony charge pled down to a misdemeanor
of course, giving me an extremely questionable record
(my name isn't Duhhh for no good reason)

but I appealed to the warden
and have finally recieved clearance to enter the prison!

Yay!
I am happy again!

I have close to half the money saved up for the trip..
gas for a 3000 mile drive there and back, motel rooms, and food
I can't handle driving straight through anymore
it's just too hard of a trip
I'm going to do it right this time
and drive from daylight til dusk
and get a room and sleep
I may be able to see him three days in a row!

Thats great. I bet he;ll be happy to see you too

 

[DuhhhBlond]

I have to take tons of quarters with me
so he can raid the vending machines...

 

[DuhhhBlond]

Pimp is in the hole again for fighting
supposedly, it wasn't his fault
from what his buddy said on the phone
and he should be out in a few days
because it was a minor confrontation

one more fight within the enxt five months and it will count towards his parole

I will seriously be surprised if I am not committed by the time my son is released

we are just fucked

 

[DuhhhBlond]

Pimp is already out of solitary! It was a minor skirmish. He seems to think this won't affect his parole. I hope he's right.

Yesterday, a little package came here addressed to him. It was a sample of ThermaCare heat wraps for lower back and hips. It may not seem like a big deal to anyone else, but I found it very sweet. Obviously, he found an advertisement to get a free sample, probably out of one of the magazines I send him. He knows how bad my arthritis has been this winter, and how it affects my hips.
I think it's his way of trying to contribute.

 

[Peter Parka]

When's he up for parole?

 

[DuhhhBlond]

the sentence was 18 years
but he's up for parole late in 2014

he'll be close to 26 years old then

that was thoughtful. and no, its not much but most likely all he can do from prison
