Jesse Powell

Hey there, potential new friend! I’m Jesse. I’m incarcerated in Minnesota (my prison is so Minnesota, in fact, there is a lake across the road) until April of 2027.

First: I accept full responsibility for my crimes. I’m fine talking about what brought me here, so please ask if you want. No person is solely defined by their worst days.

I’m a writer and poet, and have had a poem of mine published. I’m also a guy who loves reading; I have a great list of books I can recommend to you in most genres, but memoir tends to be my favorite.

Minnesota sports teams break my heart, but I love them no matter what. I like most sports, especially football. I also thoroughly enjoy fishing and multiple forms of auto racing. Oh, and the Olympics, both summer and winter.

Currently, I am a full-time carpentry student, which I am loving. I used to work in prison maintenance, as a mason. Prior to coming in here, I was a lawyer in the real world.

I’m a caring, empathetic person, who is extremely close with his family. I love them fiercely.

While in here, I have been involved in restorative justice programming, and I’ve been a bible study group leader. I’ve also been in several creative writing classes through the Minnesota Prison Writers’ Workshop.

I hope you consider sending me a letter (there’s not much better than opening the mailbox and seeing someone cares enough to write you!) or an email. Take care of your loved ones and neighbors, and thank you for taking the time to read about me.

P.S. I look like I do in the picture on my profile. My beard is just a touch longer.
