there are Tens of thousands people in the USA locked up for non-violent first offender crimes.many of them simply stepped into a trap set up by the DEA,others where at the wrong time at the wrong place, but as anyone knows the mandatory minimum sentencing has sent these people into jail for tens of years,sometimes for life.IF YOU KNOW ANYBODY WHO IS LOCKED UP,THAN YOU CAN PUT HIS PRISON ADRESS HERE (with his 100% agreement,of course)ON THIS PAGE! AND ANYONE WHO WANTS TO SEND A LITTLE LIGHT TO A DEAD-HEAD LOCKED UP IN HELL ,THAN YOU CAN DO SO.NEVER FORGET,THAT FOR EVERY BROTHER AND SISTER WHO IS IN PRISON,SOMEONE ELSE IS FREE.....

with Frankly. I know from the time I have spent in the hell they call jail the onloy bright spots where the letters I would get from thoghs that I knew and loved and speacily the one I got from friends of friends it always ment alot to me that ppl that did not even know me took the time to right with that being said I have friends that are inside but two very good friends that are doing hard time in Ohio that where set up about 4 years ago one should be getting out in about two years but the other will not be getting out for another six or seven I am AWAITING a letter from them both askin them if it ould be cool to post there names and prisn addy on here. I am sure that they would not mnd but just want to make sure first.

So here is a lil bit about his story.My brother Troy,who is one of use and one of the kindest souls you will ever meet.He would consider you family the second he meet you and would give you the shirt off his back and the sneakers off his feet when he meet you if you needed them.He shares the love for the Grateful Dead as we all do.
Him and his girl friend were set up buy someone they thought was there friend,this person had gottin busted with some LSD.The cops told him if he would help them that he would go free.The kid agreed to help them,and set up three buys with a undercover dea enforcment officer.The officer got a warent and the apartment was raided.A lil over a half gram of LSD was found.Troy being the person he is tried to claim it all for his own,so Tyra(his girl) would not get into any trouble.The cops did not want to hear that.They both were charged and convicted.Since they would not be come RATS,NARCS or not set any one else up under the promise of a "LESSER SENTENCE" he recievd 13 years and her 12. They are both just a few years into this sentence and though they are doing as good as they both can be under this BS.They are missing the scene and family and music terrably so.And not surprising that many ppl have not writtin or tried to do anything for them.I am not askin for any one to give money or buy them anything but it would mean so much to them,and what we take for granted every day they do not have,If any one even if it is just one person could take two or three min. to write a letter aboutr the familer things that they so miss(music) I am sure that it would mean the world to them.Just to let them know that there are kind ppl that even though they might not know still care.There are way to many of are brothers and sisters in prison for non violent crimes.And are govrnmnt spends way to much $ every year on keeping these ppl locked up while the real crimanls walk free (MUDERS,RAPISTS,MOLESTERS ECT...)sO IF YOU CAN FIND THE TIME TO WRITE JUST A SIMPLE LETTER IT WOULD MEAN SO MUCH MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER IMAGIN.
HIS PRISON ADDY:
TROY RICHARD WILLIAMS #A527-230
P.O. BOX 7010,UNIT 8A, CELL 263
CHILLICOTHE, OH ,45601

He also asked me for some photographs of the good old days.If you have any pictures of the boys(Jerry,Bobby,Phil,Billy,Mickey,Brent,Pig,Donna,Keith) That you could spare.(he can receive three per letter) it would MAKE HIS YEAR and his time a LIL BRIGHTER.Also any pics of the lot scene. He says he has no one in there to relate to (no deadheads)witch in his word"is kinda a good thing cause that means they are not locked up" so this would help more then you could no.
If you do write to him just tell him that you got his addy from me~~~Bear~~~
I will post Tyra's addy soon as recieve it.PLEASE SHOW SOME LOVE AND TAKE TWO OR THREE MIN. TO WRITE .WHAT TAKES YOU JUST MOMENTS WILL GIVE HIM A SMILE FOR WEEKS. And remember that even though you might not no him we all share the same thing incommen (The Grateful mother frickin Dead)

be careful what you post ... with this kind of imformation it would not be dificult to hack into the prisons computers .. before you know it your freinds are out of jail and they find their identity stolen... no credit, warrents for stuff they did not do ect..ect .. should I go on ...
and why does a person in a foreign land worry so much about American inmates ?
something is wrong here ...this also seems to be scaring people away from the famillies forum .. just be carefull folks ....

don't knock 'em Stuman. there aren't many left ;-)
