Prison Pete
Here’s another interesting blog about an interesting inmate.
Prison Pete has been bounced around prisons all over the country. He currently resides in a New York Prison and has his trusty editor post his letters to the blog site. Although he doesn’t have internet, his editor is pretty up to date with the site. Pete also encourages people to write to him, pen pal style.

Location, location, location. After spending almost three year of my incarceration moving around from one county jail to another, I spent over five years on top of a mountain in West Virginia at Club Fed.

After completing my time at Club Fed, I was taken to spend another eleven to fifteen years in the glorious facilities of the New York State Department of Correctional Services.
One major difference between here and Club Fed is that you are allowed to receive packages. Now you might ask what this package thing means. Slide down into a comfortable chair and I will explain.”
