Text (TR_WF): Deceptive Justice By Jerome Williams, IN We have all heard or recited the United States Pledge of Allegiance, specifically that part which states "with freedom, liberty, and justice for all."

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. For eleven lonely years. years when I felt forgotten, I had written and sent countless letters and cards to my parents, hoping to fan some imagined glowing cinder of compassion.
