I am new to using the internet when it comes to prison reform and to find help for my friend who is located at the California Mens Colony in San Luis Obispo. What sights can you recommend as helpful? I am one of a network of friends trying to help Ken. I am wanting to be able to get his story out, and try and sell his artwork and poems to help generate income to pay for legal fees.

Prisoner Life has a nice amount of resources that may be helpful to you. They are growning fast and the Administrator is very helpful. Here is their link
www.prisonerlife.com (http://www.prisonerlife.com)

Another site you may find helpful info on is:

Inmate Centeral (http://www.inmatecenteral.com)


There are TONS of other helpful sites.. I know there are many in California that are probably more what you are looking for.

As for getting his story out, you are more than welcome to share it with everyone here in the "Introductions & Stories" forum..

If you want, I can help, by putting his art and poetry on my Pen Pals in prison web site

Hi Soraya, Thanks for the help. I will try and get some of his poetry typed up so I can email it. His art are cards he made with the method of collage. I need to take them and have them copied and printed so they are in a form that can be used eventually to reproduce. I will try to get some of his poetry to you in the next week. The cards will take a little longer as I'll need the extra funds to do it. I hate to say it, but I have little spare time to do all this so bear with me. I want to give Ken some hope, he is very despondant right now
