From the blog of James Catlidge: Innocent from the Inside

In the final stretch now..........12 days remaining and the preparations for unplugging, exiting the grid continue. I will use this Post to provide you with details about logistics available to me to stay connected to you:

TELEPHONE: I have 300 minutes per month, I will focus those minutes on the kids and my mother, If I  do call you and you are not my mother or my children then we will be brief. I have been told that the minutes are going up to 450 soon, which will allow much better connection with all of  you. So with all this in mind the old adage "don't call me I'll call you" seems to apply here.

MAIL: Mail day I have been advised is a significant day at camp, all men are lined up as one camper is assigned as his job to be the mailman and deliver to every recipient their mail once per week. 90% of men standing at their dorm door receive NO MAIL yet they all stand in hopes that each new mail day may bring them a message from the outside. I have been mailing several men inside mail alerting them of my arrival and looking for a personal tour when I arrive. This is my address for your greetings and wisdom, I can receive regular mail, newspaper and magazine subscriptions and paperback books (would love to read any books you send me:

In this image there are 2 facilities, an actual minimum security prison where 2,500 men are housed and the Federal Camp where I will be which has 312 men in a dormitory style setting. Look close at the image and you will see many athletic fields and tennis courts, I have been told there is also a music hall and culinary arts school. I will build a daily routine that will allow my time to pass with purpose and personal growth.
