Text (TR_WF): Different view, different you, different sight, touch, and feel, wheel me in center stage and have a quick glance, lance open your perception and see what keeps the thought whole; always falling apart, domino effect, we all fall down - a well and never come out, drowned by your own selfish ways, spoon yourself to death because there is no sharps, safety proof, always guarded, no concern for any rule, regulation, or even request, a test of my attitude and unstable thoughts, a constant accelera...

Text (TR_WF): Prison Politics (Part 1) Intercom: "Count time.

Being that the gang was just delivering a light-weight ...

Text (FT): The Letter by Stephen Whetzel Last summer, I received a letter from Misty, my little sister-my first contact with anyone from home since coming to prison, my first letter ever from anyone in my family.

Text (FT): You'll Be OK by Stephen Whetzel The van sliced through the dense morning fog like a jet through vapor.
