where has the past five months gone,been busy working, things are starting to slow down now that they growing season is about over.Gretchen is now in the wings program at the prison so she maybe released in april we hope.

   I found out on friday that Gretchen has to do 90 days in the RHU and is eligible for early release after 45 days .After she is released from the RHU she has to wait sixty days until she can apply for the wings of life program at the prison which will be six months long.The one letter that I received from her she said that it was a misunderstanding on the staff part at the ccc where she was,I had sent her a package and she asked if she could go and get it and they told her yes and she went out the door and they considered it an escape attempt and then she received a misconduct for disobeying an order and swearing at the staff.We were so close to putting this behind us now we have to start all over,I get so mad at times I could spit nails,she wanted me to go and see her when her visitor list is approved but I won't be able to as visits are for immediate family only and on her visitors list I'am listed as a friend.I try to tell myself to think of the money I will save on gas,I just have to keep busy and not let this get to me.    

 I had a phone call from Gretchen's mom and she has to do sixty days in the RHU unit and then has to start all over with her drug and alcohol program, which is either four or six months long wherever they decide to put her.She told her mom to tell me she was sorry and that she messed up but she couldn't stand the hell hole where she was at.Her mom said in her last letter that when I went down on sunday that she was going to run.Now it looks like it will be two years instead of just one.
