[crossed out: 1] Translated by Collantes and Potzernitz My name Is Valentin. I am from Mexico from the state of Veracruz. I arrived here to the United States at the age of 15. I worked close to 7 years in a dairy until the day that they arrested me. I have been in this prison close to 3 years I only have 1 left and then I hope they let me go. In my personal life, for me it is very difficult since all of my family is in Mexico and I don't have contact with them. I have tried to communicate with them but it is very difficult because in the ranch where I live there is no telephone or mail. I only hope that the day in which I leave I find all of my family since my mom is alone and very sick. My dad is no longer alive; he passed away when I was approximately 8 years old. Since then, I was in charge of my mom and that was one ofthe reasons why I came to the United States.
