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.

These prisoners are reaching out to you. They trust that Bay View readers truly care. Reach back and write a letter today!

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.”

“All Power to the People!” One can only imagine love lost due to suppressive mileage and ignorant economical prison plantation slave owners, who look for systematic financial gain rather than truly cleansing the human spirit. I ask myself often, what is life?… A rose pedal, a love letter or simply a book waiting to be turned from its first page. Any woman who believes the chapter begins with her, then publish your feelings, tears and soul on a blank page and I will begin the ‘freedom of caress’, massaging your heart and rummaging slowly through your glistened body filtering out all cancerous elements, ill feelings hatred, discriminating and suppressive circumstances, leaving your body in a state of nudism, as I wrap a layer of worth, independence, strength and wealth (externally and internally) stroking all avenues of disrespect with belated justice.” Single Blackman, 27 years old with a November 2012 release date.

My name is Gregory S. Avaloy. I’m an African American prisoner. I’m looking for someone to help me be a father to my 8-year-old son. Over 70% of our children today are growing up in fatherless homes. Why is that? I believe the reason is that they are locking up all the Black men and leaving our women to raise our chilren by themselves. It’s time to start putting fathers back in these homes.
