This was Frankly's idea and I'm gonna let him explain it! I think it's a good one of course.

Why does a person in a foreign land listen to american music?because that person might like it! and why does he care about american inmates.like i wrote above this campaign was started in the days when RELIX was still a 100% DH-mag.they made a special edition about this problem and there where tons of adresses from people sitting in.a person who is in jail for who dont know how long is in every federal computer,...or you are afraid that i might steal regular US-prisoners out of their cells?P.S:i tried to explain it all above......
this is a pure american organisation,which trys to help people who were locked up for incredible times.they have the cases,the names and the stories which led to the incarceration of these poor souls.hey stu, im a DH so i posted the idea of helping some of the brothers and sisters simply by writing them, on the Dead-net.seems logical,no....?
Stuman!! What kind of question is that "why does a person in a foreign land worry so much about inmates?" I think you owe Frankly an apology for that nasty bit of suspicious mind, about a very good and humanitarian idea.

Identity`s are stolen all the time , Badger , TL, i think you took this in the wrong context.
and look at Frankly`s post , the type and font is completley different ,he never writes in ALL CAPS , i beleive i have good reason for suspition.. now if you have freinds or familly in prison and they would like to have some pleasent mail , i think their names and addressess
should be relay`d via PM`s . for their own protection ..can you imagine coming out of prison and being stalked by anti-drug people or finding that someone else has a drives liscens in their name . or apply for credit and have bad credit even though they have been in prison for years and years . having bank accounts and bad cheks being writen , then the arrest warrents start , for something that they did NOT do . just think about it , thats it just think about it .. protect the ones who can`t protect themselves...
..Frankly the suspicious foreigner has set this thing up so he can steal the identities of prisoners?
I just checked and there are loads of websites where inmates openly post their names and prison addresses so people can write to them. I agree 100% with the need to be cautious and not do anything without the permission of the inmates, but I really don't think Frankly has bad intentions.
or sometrhing like that I really don't think that you can have your identity stolen buy having his cell #. witrh that said I will be glad to tell you that I just recieved a letter from Troy and he was super stoked to get letters from the ones who did send them so..... SO COME OFF IT STUMAN AND STOP BEING SO PARANOID BROTHER....
I was just expressing concern bro . I feel for your brother man , I know jail sucks , been there ,, i personally know people that the identity thing happened to .. like i said , just expressing my concern , thats all . I`ll leave this forum alone now .sorry if folks take what i posted the wrong way , i should be used to it .. and know better not to post what`s on my mind ... it`s always taken out of context ..
"speak your mind not someone elses" don`t seem to apply around these parts .
Come on brother!! I am sorry if I took it the wrong way..I just think the idea of having you identity stole from giving a prison addy and his cell # crazy..It really made his month to here from ppl that share the same love for the boy's that he does.Just think you might be a lil over paranoid in this case and what this thread ias about, but please don't ever hold back what you have to say.The one thing I love about this place and the ones I love is the fact they speak there minds.So please don't shy away fr9om this thread tell me all that you know and I'll show you........
Stuman, you should not worry, as the information that has been posted about Troy (and might be posted about other inmates in the future) is public information that can be found many different ways. Inmate information is not considered private, and so can be found on the internet or with a simple phone call to any facility.
Having somebody's name is not enough to steal an identity. Having somebody's prison address will definitely not do it, as credit card companies aren't likely to extend credit to someone in prison.
So, please, don't worry, if your family in prison wants letters written to them, posting their address here will not bring harm to their credit in the future.
included some of this transcript here, so he knows people are thinking of him & discussing the issue (included the url in case he gets access to a pc) - also included a personal note & a pictue of Jerry. Can't imaging what his life must be like - we all should count our blessings.
