everything is ok, Brad is starting to believe he actually might be released in august. How? why? strange rumors, whatever. He knows, understands the danger of false hope, and still every time he gets ready to walk out the door. The system seems based on hope, " keep'em happy" kind of routine.
we talk nearly daily on the phone, he calls, i call, sometimes he has important news, like when the wandering dog watched the inmates football game with him, or the time they got a second mango! often about his writings, he is nearly finished with the script for a movie and the hero just got shot and is dying.
and sometimes he wonders and worries about something small that happened when i was a kid, or when linda's twins were born.
all things considered he is fine, works in the prison library. Yes, the even have english books there, left behind by other inmates. He told me of the other Gringo, an american who got 12 years for seducing a minor, a 16 year old who happened to be the niece or cousin of someone important... What he actually did was smoke a joint with her and her 2 girlfriends. he will sit there till 2012. This gringo has read every book in the library and is starting afresh, by book 1.
Dear readers,... Please send books for them!
Kiss to all, from Bradley and from me
