Write a Letter to a Inmate - 46 year old male in Soledad, CA

Hi, my name is Jonathan; they call me K.O. I'm serving life. I've been down almost 25 years, I'm 45. I get to board every 3 years. The laws change a lot. The year is 2024, and laws are going to continue to change. I'm 6'3". I've played soccer, basketball, football, and baseball on the street. I was basically a jock that got into drugs. I've been sober for the most part in prison. I don't use needles for obvious reasons. I've been drug-free for quite a while; the desire is gone.

I play guitar in prison whenever I can. I'm also Irish, German, and English on my dad's side and French on my mom's. I've worked construction and sold pot, and I guess I was one step ahead of the government. We built stores and stuff like Chief Auto Parts and Pet Co. My favorite music is Ozzy Osbourne, Slayer, Slipknot, Nirvana, Hatebreed, Shadows Fall, Bad Omen, and the list goes on. Sepultura, Metallica, Guns N' Roses. I sing and play guitar. It takes me away from here. It is what it is. Go ahead and write.
