Never a City So Real dropped

Thank you for taking interest in the Joilet Correctional Institution's Prisoner Literacy Program.

Our inmates are happy to have badresa.com added to their internet access options. They enjoy your site for it's topical information on a city they may unfortunately never see again, whether due to a life sentence or their years being cut short by a "shank" or other unfortunate act of prison violence. The "badresa" logo has even found itself on many a cellblock wall, and given our inmates a healthy sexual release not associated with the typically involuntary acts long associated with prison life.

However, your book selection "Never A City So Real" does not seem to fit the current needs of our program. For one reason or another, the text has sparked a wave of suicides, even among our most mentally stable inmates, some even on the verge of release.

Please understand that prison life by defenition is one of monotony and repetition. Reading materials afford our inmates the opportunity to escape their "walls" and travel to places they can visit only in their imagination. It is therefore crucial that anything put in our inmates hands facilitates this journey, and allow them the escapism so crucial to maintaining the balance between drudgery and inspiration.

"Never A City So Real" does not fit this criteria. With it's long, leaden passages describing neighborhoods, aldermen and deep dish pizza, the already critically bored inmate mind is sent over the edge. To date we have had three hangings, four wrist cuttings and sixteen toilet bowl drownings, all seemingly related to this book (in ten of the incidents the actual text was still in the deceased's hand.)

Again, we are grateful for your interest in our program and are glad to supply your website with readers. And we are of course happy to continue supplying your administrator with the names of soon to be released inmates looking for wives. But "Never A City So Real" can no longer have a place on our reading list.

Best,

Jane Kozwalski
Director, Joliet Correctional Literacy Program

Nice.

Jane Kozwalski. Doesn't she play the mom on Malcolm in the Middle?

"Mark",

Please stop contacting Ms. Kozwalksi. We know nothing of "Malcolm in The Middle".

A. Prosecutable, and

B. Subject to censure under the Harrasment of Citizens with Disablitlies Act.

T. Killebrew is specifically libel. All interested parties under this class action lawsuit are advised to contact:
