      • Open Families of Prisoners

        My nephew and I are more like mom and son, or best friends? While I was in the hospital he was arrested and is serving a 7 year sentence. I am so disappointed in his family. His mom and dad don't do a thing to help him. I buy his food baskets twice a year, I let him call once a week. But I am tired.The family knows I'll do it and sometime I think he expects it too. He has a real chip on his shoulders, as far as people writing him etc. I try to write once a week. I am doing this alone.
