Well here we go again! I sent Darcy a little note just after the New Year (and I do mean little). It was a two sentence note just asking if he was still in there – no apologies, no excuses for not writing, just that question and wondering why I didn’t get a call [...]

Prisoner Pen pals run the ranges of screwed up people like Darcy Hurley to people who have really used their time in prison to improve upon themselves.  Granted, it’s not always easy to tell the difference especially at first.  Sometimes it takes getting to know them.  One clue that might help is how much they [...]

In one of the Darcy’s early letters, he asked if I had a friend who would be willing to write to a friend of his. Seemed like an innocent request at the time, but I am the only one I know who takes the time to write prisoners and told him so. He [...]

In the “Lockdown Yard” aka SMUs aka SuperMax Units. Here are descriptions.
You got nothin comin’ to you here. These are the SMUs in Eyman, Morey (Lewis) and death row. Most of these guys are people that just keep getting tickets and getting into fights. Some are chomos, cheetos, snitches, switches and other undesireable and unmanageable [...]

The question might come up am I afraid of what happens when Darcy Dale Hurley gets out and finds this blog?  Corresponding with prisoners has a certain level of risk due to the return address – unless you use a PO Box or a Private Mailbox service (PMB) for a return address as I did.  [...]

I was thinking about the meaning of the term ‘debt to society’.  When a prisoner has finished his or her sentence, it’s said that “He’s paid his debt to society”.  When you pay  a debt, it means you do something to cancel out that debt.  For example, if I borrow $20,000 to buy a car, [...]

Darcy Hurley has been in prison since 1985, about 23 years now. That’s a long time for someone who didn’t commit murder. His crime is described as armed robbery. I used to have this notion that someone who has been in prison that long should have some better sense of what is right [...]

Darcy Hurley took full advantage (and is probably continuing to take full advantage) of prisoner correspondence websites.  These are websites which are set up as a service to encourage people to write to prisoners. The place I found Darcy Dale Hurley was WriteaPrisoner.Com.
There have been some legal challenges to these prison correspondence services. For example, [...]
