Writing Prisoners
I go to the Post Office every day to check my mail. I have been writing inmates in prison. I get the tingling in my stomach when I check my PO Box especially if I get a letter. I get so excited. I want to get a letter every day. Then when I sit at home to write back...I blank. It's the weirdest thing. I have so much to say when I get the letter after I open it but after I get home and sit down to write...I blank. I feel bad. I think about prison life is and compare it to my life. Not that my life is great but I compare if to just an average person's life.

She Swears She Saw Me
The night is late, as the neighborhood appears to be quiet with little traffic on the public highway going towards Main Street in Lyons, Nebraska. Many citizens there have decided not to walk in the evening anymore because it's very dangerous to be alone, especially on certain streets near the local town square at twilight. It's not being superstitious, rather more about feeling safe in their hometown.

What do you want to represent people like that for?
I came to criminal defense thinking that I was fighting the good fight, that I was standing up for the poor, the downtrodden, and the oppressed against the power of the state. But what I quickly learned is that there is another view of a criminal defense lawyer.

Does Crime Pay Off?
A crime is described as "a violation of a rule or regulation for which punishment by some governing body or force may ultimately be recommended" (Crime). Imagine if crime didn't exist? Who will finance government operations? The number of professions would not exist? Will the county raise much more funding from federal and state grants? By the way, isn't the true consequence of crime a financial punishment? Are criminal offenses financially harmful or beneficial to society? In this case, the authors of the review will try to answer these questions. Using a sample, the authors will verify that the money received as a result of a criminal offense compensates for the cost of the crime. In addition, this report will present the findings of a detailed study of your partnership for benefits, including the economic impact and benefits that criminal offenses bring to today's society. This report will establish that criminal offense acts as an economic stimulus. Instead of focusing on the morality of a criminal offence, the authors will focus on the financial and economic consequences of committing a criminal offence.
