Doing time...

My brother is in prison yet again.. this time for 15-20 years for assault and absconding from parole. He beat someones head in with a wooden barstool, the guy had to get 9 staples in his head and 3 broken ribs. I dont know if anyone here can relate but let me know if you can..

I dont know what to say, but it's the worst feeling in the world. There aint a day that goes by..

Heres a picture so we can at least get an idea of who we're talking about..


I'll miss ya bro

 

you and your bro were really close i take it? but why did he do such a thing?

 

That sucks man, 15-20 years is a LONG ass time. Sorry man.

 

Very close..

The guy (Joe) was someone he was let staying with us at the house because he just got out of jail and had nowhere to go. My brother even hooked him up with a job. Joe got really drunk and started talking a whole mess of shit and my bro is pretty ruthless and goes crazy when he fights.. he just went a tad too far

 

well, i appologise because i know theres nothing i can say to reduce the pain, but i lost loved ones before - and i got through it with distractions, keeping you off the subject in general.

im really sorry for your loss, i wish you all the luck at this tough time.

 

Wow man, your bro helps a guy out and in return the guy is a douche. That just isn't right.

 

Thanks green..

And yeah, skull.. he gave this guy everything he had and now puts him through this, definatly something fucked up with that..

 

I would want to kill that guy if he was the reason my brother was locked up for that long.

 

^ yeah i agree

 

What goes around comes around, I'm not worried about it.

Had the satisfaction of seeing his shit get split open.. thats a start

 

dam that sucks a lot. You havent even been around for 20 yrs, can you imagine how long that would be locked up....

 

personally, i couldnt take 10 years in a cage, talk about 20. id probably attempt to escape, and i wouldnt go back alive even if i failed. i dunno, it would just be too much for me

 

He's done 3 before.. and even that felt like forever, I cant even imagine what it's going to be like, he'll miss practicly everything

 

whats the laws there?? how much time you think hes gotta do? here its 2 strikes.. i hope thats not the case there..

sucks man,, i have a uncle doin life without parole at angola.. aint seen him since i was 10.come to think of it,he may be dead.

whole family just slowly moved on an forgot about him,,dont do that with your brother..

gotta real close friend just got 5 to 7..

whatever you do keep in touch with him.. letters from home mean more than anything. write him as often as possible. find out what trades an try an keep him supplied.

but i guess you know that as you said he violated parole..

keep your chin up brother,,life gos on...

 

^ I've never heard you be nice before

 

i guess its all in how ya wanna read what i type..

beyond that,, watchin someone you love go down hard is something ive had to do to many times in my life..

its something you never really do get used to. i know what a struggle it is to try and let the person inside know your still thinking about them as the years (for you) fly by. it sometimes hard to remember theres someone you love sittin behind bars.. 15 years is a hellu long time,so much will change.

and truth be told,,his brother most likely will never be the same when his time is done.

sad sad sad...

 

Yeah I definatly know the play.. I've been through it before, first thing I did was send him $250..

Thanks for your support guys

 

time heals all wounds brother,, just remember him as your life evolves...

thats all you can do...

 

He's always straightforward... the bluntness is easy to take offense to if you disagree with what he says... believe me, I've been there but in the long run it's better for you.

 

^ its about taking criticism non offensively
