  Hello! Billy. It's me, Silencio. I hope that all is well with you and your family.

  I'm here on lockdown. I finally got your info from Jesse.

  You write me back and let me know what you want. You know like maybe a picture or some artwork. Yeah, I'm still in the craft shop so I might be able to send you something worth hanging on your wall.

  Take care and will be good to hear from a real friend. Write me when you have the time.

                                                        Sincerely,

                                                              Alex Martinez"

Alex also goes by the name Silencio. Silencio was born December 21, 1980.

Alex is a really sweet and kind person. Alex recently exited TDCJ. Poppa* has not heard from him since he got out, but we wish him all the success in the world! God is GOOD!!!~~~~

Poppa* met Alex at the Neal Unit in Amarillo, Texas in 2008. Alex was a barber. He is also a very talented artist. Poppa* saw a portrait that Alex had done in the craft shop which was truly amazing. God is GOOD!~~~

       Hi Mr. Garrett. Mr. President and CEO. I hope all is well with you. I'm doing good staying out of the way.

  Well, you know what Jesse's message was because you sent it. I'm proud of you, Billy! You work so hard now, but in here, you had all the restrictions one could have. No sunlight. No water. No air. Damn, how did you do this hard time and make it out alive? :-)

  I'm surprised you remembered I am in the craft shop. My family gets me to paint portraits. I send them as "gifts" as stated in the rules. You know my family takes care of me.

You know I'm looking for a good woman. Do you know anyone that might be interested in someone like me? Find me a friend. You and I can be friends and I am looking for a pretty woman. You make me feel special and you are a good friend.

  I had received a letter from another guy and he asked me for some leather work. Well, I don't do leather work. I only paint.

  So can TFF help me with parole letters and support?

    Take care!         P.S. I kept the pictures. I liked. Thanks

                                                                    Sincerely,
