[QUOTE="Star*, post: 268131, member: 4964"] klmno - I guess the answers give you a time to plan/prepare/detach/etc. It was nice that he thought of you to write the longest letter of his life. I think that's where I received the first "long" heartfelt/thinking letter from Dude....while he was in Department of Juvenile Justice. I know that every facility is different - but I do know there were gangs in Department of Juvenile Justice. Dude said a lot of kids are not strong enough to resist or stay out. It made me ill to think that he would come out with what I would consider worse problems than he went in with. I do know that in adult prison most long timers would tell you either join or be alone without protection. I don't know that this is a reality in Department of Juvenile Justice or if he's telling you this for shock value - still trying to make YOU feel a little guilty - like - Look what happened - thanks to YOU Mom and now I have to join a gang or else....so I'd be very careful about what you write back regarding gangs. Also know that EVERY letter you send - will be read by anyone that wants to. Dude said he had NO privacy - and while he appreciated the letters - I knew to tone down my worry/love/Mom business - for fear of bullying from other inmates. Do you get to visit him at all? How is that going? I would also bring the gang thing up with the woman you seem to have a decent rapport with on the phone - ask what would be best to write back to him on that cause. OR find a local chapter of Gang Out....and ask them to make a visit. Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
