Well, because I clean, I listen to a lot of podcasts to get through the day, and I kind of exhausted all the good ones, like, of course, cereal, and went through all those pretty fast.
I did it when the kids were in school so that I could go on field trips or go to their swim meets or whatever. I like cleaning, actually, and so I just stayed with it. I was just Googling one day for, like, podcasts set in Florida. Because I really just wanted to hear about local stuff, I guess. And, you know, you came up. Like, I would even...
agree to do a house I didn't want to do because I'd have four hours of uninterrupted listening, you know. The part of the podcast really, and it's still memorable, is when you played the clip of Victoria Avalon.
And she was questioning Jeremy.
You can't even buy deodorant, can you? And I was like, man, she's just, she was harsh. I thought, man, that's awful. I just felt so bad for Jeremy. So I thought, well, I'm going to send Jeremy some money, like $20. You know, I don't know.
I think it was right around Christmas. And I don't know, I just said he was, that I thought he had done the right thing to confess what he had done. I knew it had to be hard and that I felt bad because he had said he felt like he slept with ghosts that night. And that was just wanting to help a downtrodden person, really. I didn't have any plans to keep writing him like that, you know.
I think it's on like a half a piece of paper because he didn't have any money to buy paper. It's torn at the bottom, yeah. Go ahead and read it. Okay, so January 31st, 2023. Dear Ms. West, I just want to let you know that I received your letter and to let you know that you were approved. I've been trying to find out who you were.
I even sent a letter to Mr. King, the one that did the podcast on me. I have not had anyone to write me in over 10 years now since my grandma passed away. So I kind of give up on hearing from family. I hope that you can understand my spelling and writing. I haven't wrote for so long and it's hard writing on paper like this because it doesn't have any lines on it.
Oh, and yes, I did like your Christmas card. You were the only one to send me one. Thank you. You said that you want to put some money in my account. Well, I give you my word. I will buy stamps and writing paper. If you got me off podcast, you should know what I am in prison for. I've been locked up since 1988. I was 19 and I went to prison in 1989, have been here since.
I'm 53 years old now, and right now I'm on CM1 lockdown.
He says, can I ask you something? I ain't never had anyone to want to help me. And now don't get me wrong, I just wanted to know He didn't say why, but I'm guessing he meant to say why. But thank you, and I hope you are well and doing good.
In the beginning, he would send me exactly what he bought at canteen, you know, to show me that he was spending his money wisely.
Like, here's a piece in a receipt of something. He said, I still have $4 I can use. He said, I did buy deodorant and another bar of soap, and I just wanted to let you know that I used that money for the good.
The third letter I got from Jeremy, we talked about football, Gardner Minshew specifically, because that is one person in football that I know about, because he's pretty hot.
I got to say, his handwriting is... Really good. It slants evenly and pretty consistently to the right. It's in cursive. For somebody who never made it through high school, he doesn't have a lot of misspellings. So my thought is that he puts a lot of time and effort into his letters.
I just wanted to drop a line so that you would have a letter from me and then a little smiley face drawn on the paper.
I hate being behind this door all day, but I'm doing everything I can to get off CM.
He said, you ask if I heard from my son's mama, and I have not since my son was 12 years old. Her name was Jamie C. Allen. I learned she got married, so I don't know her last name. I still have family, they just don't write me. I don't know where they are. My own mom doesn't write me. My son, Justin M. Allen, I don't know where he is anymore.
It's hard to think about them knowing that they are my blood family and won't even let me know how the family are. I just don't know what else I can do. I wrote my Aunt Debbie.
He talks about he misses his grandma. He asked me one time if I could get a picture of her gravestone.
