Michael Newman, alone in world, soon to be released, needs to connect

Michael Newman 529013;WSPF PO Box 1000 Boscobel, WI 53805

Summary of My Story

Hi, my name is Michael Newman, a 26 year old African American, i moved to Milwaukee from Chicago when I was 12 years old-that’s when my life started to change. When I was 15 years old I got into a big fight with my father for abusing my brothers and sisters and even my mother. I got kick out of the house and went to St. Charles and then to Lad lake. All my life I was in and out of group homes. And in 2007 I caught my first case for armed robbery with my so called friends and ended up doing 30 years in prison, and that cycle never stopped. I got locked up back in 2013 for the same case again with my so-called friends, and one point in my life I was homeless. While I was in prison my mother died in a house fire in Milwaukee along with my oldest sister; I went wild, almost took my own life cause my mother and sister was gone and they were my only support. So I thought to myself, what would my mother want me to do, so while I was locked up I got my HSED and changed my ways. I love to draw, read, sing and watch movies. I get out of prison august first of next year.  I’m looking for new friends and I would love to get to know you. I’m going home with no friends, I’m on my own –so if you would like to make a new friends, you can write me at Michael Newman 529013; CCI, PO Box 900, Portage, WI 53901.

Dear Ladies,

Are you interested in meeting a gentleman who is nice, sincere, genuine, and who has a great sense of humor? If so , I am that guy!

Please don’t judge me because of my current incarceration, because I am only a human who made a mistake in life!

Believe me ladies, after serving 15 years now, a lesson was well learned. I will be getting released in a couple of years , so my intention is to find and meet a special woman whom I can get to know and learn from.

I was only 18 years old when I became incarcerated, so now at the age of 33, I need a grown woman to teach me how to be a grown man towards the female gender. I’m looking forward to any and all correspondence. So let’s talk ladies! Teach me!

main portion of his first letter: 7 30 17
My name is Ryan Pruitt. I prefer "Liquid" but choose whichever you feel best fits your tone of voice. O humbling beg for prayer and help nothing more. NO, I won’t need envelopes or paper God has blessed me with a great mind.
I am incarcerated at the moment for things of which I did and things of which I didn’t. I accepted my mistakes and learned from them the truth is all you will get from me. I am 22 years old and 23 come Nov 1st.  I find myself with 60 in 30 out for my very first felonies I’ve ever had in my life. I don’t even have a juvenile record. Please feel free to look me up and see for yourself the proof of all I speak about. UP until last month all I did was teach myself litigation tactics, case law and statues. I was ignorant to all those things at 19 and that’s how I ended up in Waupun. I fought long and hard to one day return to my family and son. Well as I last month I found out I lost my only child. His name was Zayden A Lawson died at 3 years old he was beaten to death by a family member on his mother’s side.
As any news similar should, it really broke me down. I see that I really can’t fight this battle on my own. My family struggle to send me what they  have. So it’s safe to say I don’t have any way to get lawyer money unless I sell drugs in here. If I get caught That’ll dig me a deeper hole I know. But Honestly, I feel like I can’t breathe right I have to get out. I’ve written  several lawyers but no hand has reached out except with upward palms.
I know about your penpal site and was only hoping to join your site. I hope to find a lawyer to help me with my appeal and re-trial because there will be one. I have DNA issues which once pointed out will grant me my remanding. I know through that with this emotional set back my mind will not be whole again no mater what. I would love to have new friends to write but I can only truly focus on my freedom. I need to more than I feel the earth needs water.

Michael Pugh' story and feelings about conditions(original): https://ffupstuff.files.wordpress.com/2017/02/michael-pugh.pdf

above transcribed:

Peg? These CO’s is doing us inmates wrong. I got placed in the hole because cellmate got caught with porn. One of the COs asked me to pat search me and I let him while I was talking to CO Wickman. Another person came from behind and grabbed me by the shoulder roughly. I turned around and got in a fighting stance because I thought that it was an inmate that grabbed me like that. All the correctional officers rushed me to the all and hand cuffed me and I didn’t do nothing wrong. And in the rule book correctional officers don’t supposed to put they hands on an inmate unless they say it’s okay. The white shirt here gave me a 60 DS (disciplinary segregation)  time in the hole with no half time and I did do nothing wrong.

Not only that but in seg us over here don’t even get rec or go to the law library. They always make excuses that they busy but don’t none of these correctional officers even try to make sure we get what we got coming. And what’s so crazy we get oatmeal bread and peanut butters damner all the time for breakfast. They can’t even feed us inmates enough to keep us full until lunch time. Ever since this warden came here everything been going downhill. They’ve given us a 60 for 3 Ds and 3 Ds ain’t nothing but cell confinement or loss of rec. They don’t even give us face towels when its shower time in segregation. They don’t even have cameras in the hallways or they don’t even do 30 minute rounds and come and check up on us inmates and make sure we’re alive.

One time I didn’t have my inhaler so I had to kick me door and I was kicking for four hours before they came and seen what I wanted. I try to ICE ( file with Inmate complaint examiner) these things but I know my mail is being messed with because I wait months and months before I have to just write another one. But I got so tired of they B.S. I just stop writing them altogether. I really do appreciate the stamps because I’m all by myself in here and don’t have nobody doing nothing for me. It be very hard at times for me to get hygiene because I don’t have no money. Other inmates be having to give me things. All my family is gone so when these correctional officers do things to me I just try to keep my cool.

But trying to do that all the time is not easy that’s why I be segregation so much because I don’t let nobody disrespect at all. Sometimes I feel like giving up on life because I don’t have nobody who love me and it’s very hard in here but Allah knows I’m trying so hard. I don’t have a tv or radio so that’s why I just stay in segregation.

I just wish I had a family who loved me and would do things for me when I need it most. Bless you, you are a special person and I wish I had a mother like you who can love me.

Justin Welch 579750, CCI, PO Box 900, Portage, WI 53901 BD1983

Justin is a deep thinker which is one of the reasons he is also very good at self torture. In the darkest period of his life he took a murder job-he is paying for that murder with a life sentence and gives himself no peace over his act. He is mentally ill and receives no health care, Has spent most of his years in solitary and has engaged in self harm . At one point he worked himself out of solitary and was doing well in a kitchen job when a homemade knife was found and he was blamed. "Why would I fashion a homemade knife when I work around knives all day?" he asked. All progress gone, back to seg.  

His greatest wish is to get back to California where his mother and kids are. So far both DOCs have refused but we are not through trying, 

Justin is a keen observer and is concerned about the welfare of other prisoners as well as his own.

Hi, thanks for stopping at this post. I really don't know how you have come to this place, as I really don't understand how all this internet stuff works and I'll explain why. I have been in prison the last 15 years and we don't have those things in here, it's like the world has stood still. I see all these things on TV and am just amazed. But I still have a few years before I join the free world. But I'm having a friend post this for me as I'm looking for some pen pals. If that interests you at all please keep reading as I explain a little about me and my likes.

My name is Rory Daniel George, I'll be 42 on DEC. 23rd. I have blond hair and blue eyes. I'd say my looks are above average, but you would have to be the judge of that. I stand at 5'10" and weigh a nice 230 lbs. I think I'm funny and like to laugh, I don't like to take life to serious or go to bed angry. I also like to play sports and watch sports. I also watch the world news and read the newspaper as much as possible, so the world don't pass me by.

I'm locked up in Wisconsin, but was born and raised in Minneapolis and that's where I plan to get released to. It's a long story of why I'm here, but the short of it is I was owed some money, came here to collect it, got charged for armed robbery and haven't seen the outside world since. I will explain the whole situation if you write me and want to know. I did what I did then and can't change that, but I have changed since. I was 27 when I came in and still had a wild streak in me, but age and wisdom has knocked that spark out of me.

But I think I have said enough to let you decide if you'd like to write. I will respond to all letters at least once. So if your looking for a new person to get to know, then please write. I do have email here, but you have to send me your email address and I must send you a request form, something new and something I'm still getting use to. If you have read this far I want to thank you and hope to hear from you soon!...
