Stephen

I received a letter from Stephen in California today. He was sentenced to 151 months. It's a hard thing to grasp. It seems that Rick in Massachusetts and I are his only contacts and he is requesting to serve his time at a federal prison in Pennsylvania, rather then out west. What must it be like to have no real family and only one or two friends? He spent a little time with Rick when Rick went out west to visit his daughter. The only contact he and I have had is by letters over the last 2-3 years and a few phone conversations.
