Halloween in Jail

Well today is Halloween and the first of the holidays that I will be spending in jail. And in my line of work, "the business of smiles", I am personally taking it upon myself to raise morale and spirits in the yellow tent with the little resources that I have. So I jimmy-rigged a costume with some of the odds and ends I picked up at the kitchen and around the tent. People here responded well, and had a good laugh.

We got a whole bunch of new people in here today, some of them with really bad attitudes, others are just dumb. but I am welcoming as many people with as much time as possible to yellow tent because there will be a lot more coming soon after the other holidays. And if this facility and the others are at full capacity towards the middle of December there is always a possibility that they may give holiday kicks to those inmates with less than 30 days left on their sentences. Which around the middle of December would be me!
I am trying not to get my hopes up too much. I know if it is God's will for me to receive that blessing then I will. All I can really do is pray about it.

Hey, one more thing, everyone. I am able to receive books here if they are sent from a publisher or like Amazon.com or Borders.com. I regretfully inform you that there really isn't much stimulating literature in yellow tent that I haven't already read. Since I have been here I have read 6 books, and 3 of them were good. So if you want to send me a book to help pass the time, please do! I would love some Hemingway, or biographies about people like John Lennon or Johnny Depp. I am trying to stay as busy as possible to pass the time, and reading really helps. I will appreciate anything. My address and booking number are on this blog on the right and you can have books sent there. Also please write to me in here if you get the time. I love nothing more than getting letters and then writing people back. So thank you all, and don't stop praying for me!
