Prisoners of Conscience Committee (POCC) Chairman Fred Hampton Jr. preaches “One Prisoner, One Contact” because he knows from experience how lonely life behind enemy lines can be and how a letter from a friend – a pen pal – can liberate mind and spirit.

Watch this short video for inspiration. Here’s what Ruby Dee has to say about the young spoken word artist, Daniel Beaty: “Every now and then you see a performance that jolts the senses to attention. This is one of them. Somehow this artist touched something deep in me that I love to see in a performance and in the human spirit. By the end, I was on my feet shouting like someone in church.”

42 yrs. SBM. I’m not just another Black man placing an ad from a prison cell. Nor am I the person who feels that it’s cool to play with the mind of a strong woman.

Heterogenous egalitarian… is how I would describe myself in two words; however, I believe I should start this composition with a basic understanding of who I would like to correspond with: Everyone! I’m, for the most part, open-minded to everyone’s “world”. Being inquisitive, I feel that your outlook could only expand mine. I’m looking for a platonic confidant I can express my thoughts with and who can help me escape the mental warfare here that threatens to plague my growth! I wish mental telepathy was at a reachable height, for then you could know true purpose ignites my sociability. Levy E. Dickerson IV, 356193, General Delivery, Louisiana State Penitentiary, Angola, LA 70712
