HELLO,MY NAME IS MARTEZE,AND I AM 37 YRS. OLD (DOB: NOV. 10,1972-SCORPIO) I SEE THE PAROLE BOARD JAN. 2011,BUT WITHOUT A PAROLE MY RELEASE DATE IS 2036 BUT, WITH GOOD BEHAVIOR AND THE BLESSINGS OF GOD, I WILL BE OUT WAY BEFORE THIS. I HAVE BEEN INCARCERATED FOR 14 YRS. FOR ARMED ROBBERY.

IF YOU LOOK AT MY WEBPAGE AND MY BLOG SITE,YOU WILL SEE THAT I AM VERY OPEN AND HONEST ABOUT WHO I AM,THE PERSON I USED TO BE AND THE PERSON I STRIVE TO BE EVERYDAY. WHY AM I SO HONEST? I HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE AND EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD TO GAIN. IT WOULD BE EASY TO LIE AND TRY TO DECEIVE YOU, BUT WHEN YOU LIE YOU HAVE TO KEEP LYING AND IN THE END YOU END UP LOSING OUT IN THE LONG RUN. ALSO I'VE LEARNED THAT WHEN YOU ARE HONEST WITH MOST PEOPLE THEY WILL RECIPROCATE THE GESTURE.

WHEN I WRITE FOR THE INTERNET WHETHER IT BE FOR MY WEBPAGE,OR BLOG,I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT I WILL WRITE ABOUT. THE INTERNET IS NEW TO ME AND WERE IT NOT FOR THE LOVELY MRS.PEG SWAN,AND HER ORG. I WOULD NOT HAVE A VOICE. SO I AM FOREVER THANKFUL TO HER AND WHEN I WRITE I ALWAYS TRY TO DO HER AS WELL A£ MYSELF JUSTICE.

SO,TODAY I WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT IS DEAR TO PEG,AS WELL AS MOST PRISONERS. IN ORDER FOR PEG,TO BUILD UP SUPPORT FOR HER ADVOCACY FOR PRISONERS,PRISONERS RIGHTS ,FUNDRAISING,ETC.,ETC. MORE PEOPLE IN THE FREE WORLD HAVE TO STOP FEARING PRISONERS AND SEE US AS HUMANBEINGS. AND MAYBE IF I WRITE AND OTHER PRISONERS WRITE AND YOU GET TO KNOW US THRU OUR WRITINGS, THEN YOU START TO SEE US FOR HUMANBEINGS THAT WE ARE.

PLEASE DON'T GET ME WRONG "YES" YOU HAVE CAREER CRIMINALS IN HERE,AND OTHER FORMS OF PEOPLE THAT SHOULD NEVER BE FREE,BUT BELIEVE IT OR NOT THOSE PRISONERS ARE FEW AND FAR IN BETWEEN. FOR THE MOST PART YOU HAVE ALOT OF PRISONERS FOR WHATEVER REASON GOT CAUGHT UP IN THE SYSTEM,WITH CRIME. YOU CAN LOSE YOUR WAY ONE TIME AND BE IN THE SYSTEM TRAPPED FOR A LONGTIME. MOSTLY BECAUSE THE AVERAGE CITIZEN ISN'T EDUCATED ABOUT THE JUSTICE SYSTEM "EVER" UNTIL SOMEONE THEY KNOW AND LOVE MAKES A MISTAKE OR COMMITS A CRIME. FOR THT MOST PART WE SERVE OUR TIME WITHOUT COMPLAINT,BUT IF YOU AS FREE PEOPLE CONTINUE ALIENATE US, FEAR US, LOOK DOWN ON US AND JUST CONTINUOUSLY CONDEMN US THEN THE RECIDIVISM RATE WON'T DECREASE,THE PRISON POPULATION WON'T DECREASE, CRIME WON'T DECREASE.

PEOPLE HAVE TO START CARING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE,START BEING MORE FORGIVING FOR OTHERS MISTAKES,JUST LIKE YOU WANT SOMEONE TO BE TOWARDS YOUR MISTAKES. NO BODY IS PERFECT EVERYONE HAS FLAWS,BUT WHEN YOU CAN HELP SOMEONE SEE BEYOND THOSE IMPERFECTIONS INTO THE PERSON THEY CAN BE,THEN CHANGE WILL COME, AND,ABSOLUTELY...YOU CAN NOT HELP EVERYBODY,SOME PEOPLE NO MATTER WHAT,WILL BREAK YOUR HEART,LIE,DECEIVE YOU AND DOWNRIGHT JUST DO WRONG,BUT I GUARANTEE THOSE FEW THAT LET YOU DOWN,YOU WILL HAVE MANY MORE THAT WILL MAKE YOU BURST WITH PRIDE. BUT,IF YOU NEVER TAKE THE CHANCE THEN YOU WILL NEVER REAP THE REWARDS OF THAT HARD LABOR.
