At 7:15 PM I got to make my call home. It was nice to talk to my Mom. It's always nice to hear from someone you care about. She said everyone is doing well at home and she asked if my sister was approved for visitation as she'd like to come visit this weekend with my parents as long as the weather was decent. I let her know my sister was approved, then asked how my brother was doing. She said he had some job offer near Middleton. Apparently it's for a CNC machinist related position, which is his specialty, but the distance is the problem. I know he hated driving back an forth from Madison for his last job, but hell, if they paid me enough I'd drive wherever.
My brother was originally the one who asked if I was interested in doing some sort of daily log noting how everyday life is in the Wisconsin Prison System. I thought it was a great idea and just recently started, while figuring I'd only have a small amount to write about every day. Well, after starting this and writing daily for only five days, I've realized there is a lot more to write about than I thought. I just want to be as descriptive as possible so anyone who reads this can get a full visualization of how it's like in here. I just hope my brother can keep up with typing these for me. I'm sure I have much more free time to be writing than he does.
If anyone has any questions for me please feel free to post any questions and I will respond to them as soon s I receive them. Or, if you'd like to write to me personally I'd enjoy having a pen pal to communicate with.
(His address was given but this was before he was told I felt it important to keep it more anonymous. If you are really interested in writing you can contact me and if I don't see any reason not to give his address information to you I'd be more than happy to offer it. email: prison.gates@gmail.com facebook: http://www.facebook.com/PrisonGates or twitter: http://twitter.com/prisongates ~ "3rd Party")
I'd like to let my brother know how much I appreciate him posting my logs for me as I know it will be time consuming. I hope somebody takes some kind of interest in reading these as well. I'm not quite sure if something like this would be interesting to other people or not, or if my writing style is even interesting enough. I guess we'll have to see... For now I'm going to read some of my book before I call it a night. Until tomorrow...

I am finding the blog very interesting. There is a best seller out called Orange is the New Black written from the female perspective. Keep writing--you might turn it into a novel as well.
