I just received a letter from my husband and the toliet paper issue is over and he thanks all the outside help. They are now getting a roll each week as they use to. And, they can now buy toilet paper from the commissary. Johnny did not give the price.

They are still on lockdown except for the bootcamp and trustee buildings, it has been lifted in those areas. They are back to their normal "confusion" Johnny says.

His cellie is in need of a fan. Does anyone know of any programs helping with this?

Also, his cellie, Randall, is looking for a penpal. I will add him to the list.

Lin, the cost for the tp from commisary is .75 a roll. Ridiculous isn't it?? Billy's unit is back to 1 roll a week also. It got really bad where he was and they were using the sheets & towels and sending notes back saying thanks for the tp!! lol I am glad they changed their minds about it, now if we can just get something done about the food!!!
Does anyone remember the Seinfield episode about "Can you spare a square"? lololololol
