A writer wanting to write you! I’m incarcerated in Washington State. I am an editor of my unit’s newsletter and am presently writing a book on the history surrounding Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla. I am also the creator of the site www.SexDrugsAndConsequences.info.

I am an Irish boy from Port Angeles (famously known from the Twilight Saga as neighboring Forks). Less famously known as being named the backup capital by President Lincoln. In theory, if a major catastrophe befell Washington D.C., then the capital should become P.A., Washington.

I am looking to meet a friend to share ideas, laughs, and experiences with. Tell me your thoughts on life, books, movies, current/historic events, religion, pets, tattoos, etc. I’m open-minded (even to opposing thoughts), so any viewpoint is invited without creating abrasion. Tell me about who you are and share with me whatever you wish. A friend is someone you’ve never met yet, so take the time to say hello.

I prefer you write to the postal service address listed first so we don’t lose touch when the e-messaging service (www.securustech.net) has the technical problems it invariably does. You can also call my messaging service at (360) 382-2783 and leave a message for me to call or write. With that, I hope we can find a way to connect.

In California, Human Trafficking for a sex act (“pimping”) of an adult carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 8 years, while pimping a minor only carries a mandatory minimum of 5 years. Under the same California Penal Code (section 236.1), the allowable top end sentence for pimping a minor is 12 years but 20 years for pimping an adult. Proof of this at a Google search for “65 Cal. App. 5th 360.” That is a 2021 California Court of Appeals case review of a trial court decision allowing a defendant to plead guilty to human trafficking of a minor, when the prostitute was factually an adult, in order to facilitate a plea bargain for a lesser sentence. The madness was not lost on the court when it noted: “We observe human trafficking of a minor for sex carries lighter penalties than human trafficking of an adult for sex. The policy merits of this sentencing structure are questions for the Legislature that are beyond the scope of this appeal.” See, People v. Richardson, [Cal. App. Citation above] at footnote 5.

That is separation of powers politeness for saying that the Legislature should be questioned about this. Any California citizen can go here to directly contact their Representatives: https://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov. Collectively you have the social platforms, resources, and power to amend this injustice. Juvenile prostitutes do not.

My Day

I open my eyes,
it’s a new day.
The stars have faded,
but still I wish I may.

The morning begins,
a yawn and a smile.
Motivation is slow,
I think I’ll lay here awhile.

A stretch and a smile,
it’s a remembered joke.
Can’t fall back to sleep,
don’t know why I awoke.

Burning daylight,
that’s what they say.
Ah, but that’s my choice,
because this is my day.

Her Eyes

Looking into her eyes,
glimmering with moonlight.
Breath becomes heavy,
their hearts take flight.

Forgetting my worries,
a moment of bliss.
Finally embracing,
a slow lover’s kiss.

Two bodies,
Suspended in place.
The spell is broken,
With the fall of denim and lace.

Looking into her eyes,
giggles, whispers, and candle light.
A taste of heaven,
on a warm summer night.
