      You can look for services in that area, especially for Veterans. For your support, attend one of the Prison Families Alliance online meetings – https://PrisonFamiliesAlliance.org/calendar.

    wrote a book called poem’s from the inner soul
    what’s going on in Washington State prisons and around the US
    by L. J. Hope my pen name , It came out in October, also when I was released… I’ve done 41 years.I’ve talked with people’s family and the incarcerated. around the U. S. about what’s going on in
    our prison system.. and what I’ve experienced in the 41 yrs.

    And turned them into poems. after I explained the mistreatment
    that the Department of corrections. does to the incarcerated and there families..

    this book should be taken to all prison advocate meetings to let
    them experience what’s going on and brought up to the legislature..

    I’m a writer, poet, artist,

    and most of all a prison advocate.

    sincerely

    John Steiner

    ps

    my pen name

    L. J. Hope

    stands for Love, justice, Hope.
