June 24

The past few days have been pretty routine, boring, so I didn’t bother writing anything.  Today was a little better.  I got a letter from Tyler.  Twas good to hear from him.  Writing back to him will give me something to do this weekend …

I heard today that my parole hearing is July 16, 3 weeks away. This shit just goes on and on and on …

I thought I had some perks [Percocet] but I think Jason fucked me around.  I hate it when people get greedy.  The good news is that I’ve located several sources of Demerol and meth when I get out.  What jail did for me is bring me deeper into PEI’s underworld.  I know more about who’s who in drugs on the island than I ever did.  And I think I will be able to profit from this information …

Looks like a sure thing that I’ll be going to medium on Monday.  I do like it here though.  The guys are ok and I can talk to the girls on the weekend.  But I have lots of friends in medium too.  Time for a change and it looks good on my parole application to be in a less secure unit.

My birthday but I didn’t mention it.  It was just another day in this fucking place.  I talked to Winston today.  He’s going to come in on Sunday.  I hope something good comes out of that meeting.  At least somebody out there is thinking about me.

… this will be my last weekend in max.  Some things I’ll miss, some things I won’t.  But at least I’ll get out more and I’ll be able (I think) to go to the barbeque on Tuesday evening, maybe have the kids in … I don’t mind it here too much, but I’ll be so fucking good to get out of here.

Three more weeks and I’ll find out when I get out.  I hope I don’t lose the whole summer.

Tonight I’m disappointed.  I talked to Barb earlier for a few minutes and then she went to sleep and she won’t get up and talk to me.  I was looking forward all week to talking to her.  But she’ll be gone tomorrow morning, so I guess that’s it.  Disappointment comes easy in this place … But I might have some better news tomorrow if Winston comes in.

Jimmy and I have talked it over and we can look after him from in here, and I think when we get out, we’re going to work together.  I can see myself doing well if everything works out like we are hoping it will … nineteen more days to go …

June 27

We were watching Monty Python – Meaning of Life, it’s always good for a laugh!  But we couldn’t watch it all because of lock up … Winston didn’t show up today.  That’s what I really hate about being in jail – you have no control over what others do outside.  Now I’ll have to call him again and he comes in Thursday.

… Jim and I have got things worked out pretty good for after we get out.  I’m looking forward to doing things with him … I wrote back to Tyler today.  He’ll be glad to hear from me.  Tomorrow I’m going to medium.  I hope I can get in John’s unit, if not there Larry’s.

As of today, I’ve been here eight months … I didn’t get moved today.  They’re saying it will be tomorrow. … Winston says he’ll be in Thursday.  I hope we can get something going.
