Chapter 9

LOVE PEOPLE FROM A DISTANCE

As I mentioned in my previous chapters, being locked up is similar to being buried alive. Because people know where you’re at, but yet they show no love or support. One thing I try to get folks to understand is how to show someone that you love & miss them by showing them with ACTION. You have to make that person feel it by adding money on the phone, so they can call, visiting them whenever you’re available, sending commissary money, helping out with paying for a lawyer. Sometimes people don’t have the means for all of that, so to simplify it, a letter or a card would do. Prisons finally started embracing these new technological advances, so sending emails, pictures, videos, and video visits are sufficient. These are all action-oriented suggestions that you can do to show & prove to your loved ones how much you really love & miss them.

When I was in the county jail before they allowed us to email through JPay, I received a lot of mail & visits. I could have gotten many more visits, but remember I was only 17, so most of my peers were 15-17 & a few that were 18, so they couldn’t visit me because the appropriate age was 18. For them to visit me, they had to be accompanied by an 18-year-old adult. Remember, I was rolling with the G.M.G’s, so the girls used to come through deep as hell. Prisoners used to come back to the tier we were on saying, Nazz, They Out There Waiting FOR YOU DEEP AS HELL. LET ME KNOW WHO’S THE LIGHT SKIN ONE? THE ONE WITH THE PURPLE SHIRT ON? THE THICK DARK SKIN ONE? I used to love that shit because that was love being shown, not just talked about. They also used to mob deep in court & when someone would come back to the bullpen from seeing the judge, they would walk in excited as hell handcuffed, I DON’T KNOW WHO THOSE PRETTY ASS BITCHES CAME TO SEE, BUT THEY’RE DEEP THAN A MOTHERFUCKER! People that were familiar with Money & I would just point to us like, THEY’RE HERE FOR THEM!

With all that love being shown in the beginning from people you loved & cared for & was willing to die for, it’s a devastating feeling once it fades away. They stop answering their phone, they take longer & longer to write you back a letter. They start missing visits after promising they’ll be there on the weekends. Now that I’m older, I understand the point of view from both sides. It’s difficult for people to tell you NO, knowing you’re in a position of difficulty. It’s hard to let you down or tell you about vacations they’ve taken, thinking it’ll sadden you. It’s painful overall not being able to come through for you because their life may be in shambles or express bad news with the thought of you living a bad news type of lifestyle.
