PLEASE TELL THEM I LOVE THEM
I don't know why he hurt me I was just a little
boy
He took away my childhood He took away my joy
I tried to go on living I tried to be a man
I went through all the motions I followed all
commands
I went beyond high school And then became
employed
I tried forgetting all the things I went through
as a boy
I finally met a girl I thought would
understand
But after my disclosure she laughed and then she
ran
There was a fatal shooting I know that I was
wrong
but after being raped and mocked I felt my life
was gone
I killed and left the country In a panic and
confused
always doing good But always being used
I walked the streets abroad with no money and no
food
Then someone else had seen my confused and
saddened mood
She seemed to be so caring understanding and so
warm
She understood completely how my life had gone
so wrong
She was a single parent who also needed love
And later when we married We felt blessed from
GOD above
We were so very happy As everyone could see
Then they finally found me Now I'm no longer
free
They made me leave my family my two daughters
and my wife
and now I am confined to a prison cell for
life
Please tell them that I love them even
though we are apart
we will remain together ,
Through our spirits and our hearts

Hi Lee,
My son, John Anthony Diaz, is
serving a life without. First-time offense.
I attached a poem that I had written a while back explaining exactly what
events led to my son's encarceration. In addition, how he came to have
and love a family which he can no longer be a part of. In spite of
being raised in a single-parent home, he always tried to achieve in life. Four
years of college completed, with an excellent work history and reputation prior
the the tragedy. He lost it all, as a result of severe depression which
the Psychiatrist diagnosed as ' Depressive-Episode with Psychotic
Behavior' leading up to the crime. In the past several years, he
has received no letters other than my own.As a result of losing this family and
being given a life sentence without the possibility of parole for a one-time
offense, he has given up completely. You see, Lee, my son no longer wants to
live. I have also sent a picture of him with his family who the
government has prevented from coming to
Thank-you so much, Lee, for helping him with this website.His name and
address is as follows:
Leonna Ramos
If anyone can help John, please contact John at the address below or his
mother, Leonna, at ramjole@juno.com .
I hope to have more information soon.
