What Not To Wear…
No sleeveless tops are allowed. The officers let that rule slide long enough that most people, myself included, didn’t know it was a rule. They also get quite agitated if anyone questions it. And wearing a jacket is not a fix because that’s what I usually wear. They said visitors go up the elevator then… »
Another Week, Another Visit
Nothing new to report really. I brought a T-shirt this time in case someone needed it but of course no one did. The Oz was the same guard as last time and performed her duties with the same attitude as last time. She put me in number 1 which had a metal grate and glass… »
We are all still waiting
Waiting and waiting and waiting some more. They say no news is good news but limbo is not a fun place to live either. This week everything was normal except on my way up the girl next to me was told even though her shirt had sleeves she would not be allowed in because it… »
Just Another April Night in Jail
This week there was a man in a wheelchair on the median of the two directions of traffic one must cross from the parking lot to the jail. He was panhandling with a lime green cup, Dallas Can Do Better color so how could I resist. After parking I decided how much I would donate… »

My First Visit To Benjamine Spencer
Tuesday March 2, was my first visit and on my way out my 3 yr old daughter asked if I was going to open the box and get him out. I wish it was that easy. My guess is that something I said about the size or shape of a jail cell, or maybe the… »
Another Week, Another Visit
How is that for a creative title:) ? Okay, the jail is falling apart. Again today there was no metal detector in the lobby. In its place an officer with a wand. Filling out the visitation form there was a slightly weird happening. No minors are allowed to visit during the week ( I am… »
Video Clip of Benjamine Spencer’s Rally
This is a 7 minute clip from the hour long rally that was held on October, 24, 2009 to bring more awareness to the injustice in the case of Benjamine Spencer. Ben is still waiting for his freedom and I hope and pray that day comes soon. If I had to choose one word to… »
Happy Late New Year Ya’ll
Sorry to have disappeared from the blogosphere for a while. The holidays were lovely and stressful all at the same time. I am thankful that Ben now has Thanksgiving, Christmas, his birthday, and New Years all behind him. Speaking of new years, hopefully this one will be the best in one in 23 years for… »
