Hello,
My friends call me Ronnie and I'm a prisoner here in the Florida D.O.C. serving a 30 year sentence for escape. I was arrested for attempted burglary in May of 1997. I had been released from Walpole State Prison in Massachusetts six months prior to my arrest for the attempted burglary here in Florida. After serving six years for burglary, I slipped off a handcuff while in the courthouse and tried to run. I was quickly apprehended and formally charged with escape even though I'd never made it out the building. Because of my record, I was sentenced to thirty years as a habitual offender. I've spent most of my life incarcerated due to my former drug and alcohol addictions.
I don't blame anyone for anything I've done. I've had more than my share of opportunities to live a good and prosperous life in society but I chose to use drugs and drink and as a result stole to support my habits. It was an ugly life and I am deeply ashamed of who I was at that time.
Some people are just destined to learn the hard way, I squandered away the precious years of my youth to foolishness and ignorance, hurt the people who loved me most and ended up almost fifty years old with such a long way to go if I have to serve out the rest of this sentence.
I gave my life to Christ 25 years ago, but I was young and seemed to always fall back into my old ways. God is patient and merciful and always brought me back to the fold, trying to teach me to walk right, sometimes with a heavy hand. It was what I needed because I wouldn't listen any other way. Today I'm on the right path. I live my life to please Him though I'm not perfect in any way. I know my heart is in the right place and whatever happens is God's will for me.
My faith is strong as well as my hope. I still have an appeal in the court so there's still a chance I can overturn my conviction and go back home to Massachusetts and se my family again and live free. I will learn to be content in whatever happens.
I'm an artist I love to spend my time listening to my radio and drawing pictures for family and friends. When I'm drawing it seems I'm no longer in prison. God gave me a wonderful gift and I love to use it to bless others.
Prison is such a lonely and degrading place. Not much ever changes here. I welcome anyone who wishes to correspond with me and would appreciate some mail. I promise I'll do my best to answer anyone who takes the time to write.
Thanks so very much for taking the time to read this. Hope to hear from you soon. God bless you.
