Inmate Excerpts from Letters

Upon reviewing your periodical, I became aware of a reference to preparing a defense due to….and would love to further explore. This info is extremely pertinent to my case and would be of tremendous use.  Due to the current political climate here, many inmates routinely receive grossly inadequate representation…thus making Crime, Justice and America invaluable.                                                         Fairfield, CA                1-12-07

This is a wonderful magazine, one of the best on straight & plain info, for everyone, clean and easy to read & understand it                                    Santa Ana, CA             1-4-07

Dude, this Crime, Justice magazine really kicks major tail if I do say so myself.  This magazine issue also opened my eyes a lot more to the Oregon abduction…I read this over and over, it’s like I am reminded what happened just like yesterday…but keep kicking royal tail on these crime issues…the basic precepts are a must reading in the magazine.                                                                                                 San Leandro, CA         12-29-06

I want to first of all say that you guys are great and a major asset to the community…Anyway, I’ve read the magazine, literally, from the cover to the back, every article, every story, everything.  Criminal Law 101 especially hits home.  It was like reading my personal story…                                                                                  Ukiah, CA                    12-20-06

I was reading the Fall 2005 issue, and I really liked it because there’s lessons to be learned, and I learn a lot from other people’s mistakes..I know I won’t break the law again…Crime, Justice & America, thank you very much for everything…                                                                                                                                Hollister, CA                7-24-06

God Bless you and Mr. Matt Dalton (Fall 2005 feature article) for all the work the two of you do for us less fortunate Americans.  Had it not been for Matt Dalton’s book, I could not hope to convince a jury that…                                       Modesto, CA               12-16-06

I would like to thank everyone involved in putting this very helpful magazine together.  I was lucky enough to stumble on your Winter 2007 edition…I found everything very interesting and most of the information very helpful.  Being that I’m new to all of this, I find myself very lost and would appreciate any previous editions…                                                                                                                                         Modesto, CA                12-10-06

I received one of your magazines, Fall 2005.  I loved it.  I was amazed about the info on Death Row.  Your magazine has helped me by answering some of my questions about the criminal justice system.  I’ve never been arrested before, so I have a lot to learn.  And really want to!                                                                      Lynwood, CA              8-16-06

I was so happy to see your magazine in jail. We had a civil hearing before our criminal charges were alleged.  In reading the article about testifying and what not to do…we did every single no-no.  I’m so glad we read your article before our criminal testimony!                                                                                                                 San Luis Obispo, CA   2-20-05

I read one of your magazines from last year…was very impressionable to read and very helpful to my case…the article “To Tell The Truth” was a tremendous help to me.  The article helped me to be calm and listen to the questions very carefully…                                                                                                                                      Santa Barbara, CA       9-2-06

“I had the chance to view on of your O.C. issues and was fortunate to read your article “Criminal Law 101: Up to the Preliminary Hearing”, and was amazed to learn this valuable info. This is my first time I’ve been in trouble with the law as so many of my cellmates, and we are uneducated in the criminal law system.  Your mag has given us an understanding of how this system works and how we can benefit from it.”                                                                                                                        Orange County                            2-07

“…and for the first time I read your magazine, which is very interesting, exciting, and a resource for all the hundreds of inmates that are incarcerated, including females.
