Perdi a mi familia y eso noce ymajinan cuato duele. eso me enceño que tenia que cambiar aora que tengo la oportunidad y el tiempo: bueno quiciera contar mas de mi bida pero ya tengo que irme atrabajar. A.T. Jesus Calvo Translated by Collantes and Potzernitz My name is Jesus. I have been in the Boise prison for a crime that I committed. They sentenced me a few years. I have already been a prisoner for 2 and a half years. In these two years I have learned many things. At the beginning, I was very sad and angry at the same time. But with time, I realized that I have to get rid of that sadness and resentment. Then, I realized that I have to be very strong and intelligent to survive in the prison because here, inside, is like a war but a silent war, you never know when you have to fight to defend yourself. I have to take care of myself a lot, day and night in order to be well. I try to get along with my roommate in order to not have problems between us. I try to respect everyone so that they respect me and this avoids problems. I am very careful choosing who I hang out with because one never knows. The best way I pass time is to do a lot of exercise, it relaxes me and it helps me not to think of my family a lot, because with time my family and my friends have forgotten about me. Well, they don’t write anymore but I understand them, it’s been a long time and now I find myself lonely but I don’t give up. I try to keep myself busy: I study and work. In addition, something very important is that I read the bible a lot, and this has helped me a lot to continue moving forward. Here, inside, there are good things and also bad, like there are outdoors. Here and I can learn many good things. And I have decided to learn everything good that I can because when I leave, I want to be a renewed man and not commit the same errors I committed, because the crime that I committed has cost me a lot. I lost my family and this, you can’t imagine how much it hurts. This has taught me that I have to change, now that I have the opportunity and the time: well, I would like to tell more of my life but I already have to go back to work.
