my brother has been locked up for 10 months.i'm still not use to him being gone.i'm very lucky that he is in the prison about 20 miles from me.the thing with me is, he has h.i.v. since 1989. he said he now has aids.how do you feel about something so serious? I go see him evey time i can,the phone bill is 350.00 a month,just the fact he has aids is stressfull enough.the things that go through my mind is just crazy. I just don't want him to die in prison,i want to take care of him myself,is there anybody goin through the same thing?

Welcome to PTO first of all.
No I am not going thru a similar situation but I will offer my support and will help you cope in any way I can. Feel free to PM me anytime you want okay. Pray for him and ask the Lord to keep him in good health and that he is safe and protected. I will pray also..(((hugs)))

Hi there...first of all welcome to PTO. and I hope you find time to jump over to the Alabama forum...lots and lots of info there...

Sorry to hear about you brother. He's very luck to have family that supports him the way you are. I'm sure he's aware that not everyone in prison has the support of family. Is he at Limestone? I just read where they (DOC) was finally allowing AIDS and HIV inmates into programs. I thought that was great news.

As i'm sure you are aware people with AIDS and HIV are living alot longer now with all the advancements in medical, hopefully he is getting the treatment he needs and can return home soon.

Again..Welcom
