WHAT TALES ORIGINALLY BEGAN AS IS NOW IRRELEVANT: IT’S WHAT

ITS EVOLVED INTO THAT MATTERS MOST. THE GOAL TO PUT THE

CONVICT’S POINT OF VIEW OUT THERE IS NOW JOB ONE. IT WILL

NEVER AGAIN BE A FORUM FOR ONLY ONE CONVICT’S OPINIONS.

THIS SITE IS DEDICATED TO ENLIGHTENING THE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN

WHO BROWSE TALES TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE SHADY SHIT THAT

IS SOMETIMES IMPLEMENTED BY BOP IN THE BELIEF THAT IT WILL MAKE

LIVING CONDITIONS BETTER FOR THE CONVICT WHEN IN FACT IT SIMPLY

COMPLICATES ALREADY DIFFICULT SITUATIONS. TALES IS ABOUT CRIME

AND PUNISHMENT (REHABILITATION IS A WET DREAM OF THE PAST, A

FORGOTTEN CONCEPT THAT CROAKED W/THE DINOSAURS, THE CURE

ALL MAGIC PILL AND THE GEORGE JETSON FLYING CAR); IT’S ABOUT INJUSTICE

AND NEW LAWS; IT’S ABOUT RACIAL CONFLICT, TENSION, SWIFT AND

SUDDEN VIOLENCE, RIOTS, AND SOMETIMES EVEN DEATH BEHIND BARS.

IT’S ABOUT HOW WE, AS CONVICTS, SURVIVE THE DAY TO DAY GRIND OF

LIVING IN THE U.S.A.’S FEDERAL PRISON SYSTEM. IT’S NOT ABOUT

HE SAID/SHE SAID. NOR WILL IT EVER BE.

THERE IS INDEED MORE TO THIS SITE THAN MEETS THE EYE. THERE ARE

CONVICTS HOPING W/ALL THEIR HEARTS THAT YOU MIGHT READ THEIR

AD, LOOK FAVORABLY UPON THE PHOTO THEY CHOSE TO SEND, AND THAT

SOME OF YOU LADIES MIGHT SEND A LITTLE LIGHT, A LITTLE GOOD CHEER,

SOME FEMALE FRIENDSHIP TO THEM BECAUSE WE LIVE IN A CONSTANT MAN’S

WORLD, SURROUNDED BY MAN SOUNDS, MAN SMELL, AND MAN SIGHTS.

THESE GUYS ARE REALLY HOPING TO BE CONTACTED BY A WOMAN. IN FACT,

I’M GOING OUT ON THE YARD RIGHT NOW AND ROUND UP 10 OR 12 KATS,

GET A GROUP PHOTO TAKEN AND INCLUDE THEIR VERY BASICS (IE NAME, NUMBER,

DOB, WHERE THEY’RE FROM, HOW MUCH TIME THEY HAVE LEFT AND WHERE

THEY ARE GOING). MAYBE SOME LADY SOMEWHERE WILL LOOK AT THIS PHOTO,

TOUCH ONE OF THE FACES ON THE SCREEN AND THINK, “YOU KNOW, MAYBE I’LL

WRITE THIS GUY…..”  THE SAME GOES FOR THE WOMEN WHO POST THEIR ADS

ON HERE, THE SAME HOPE AND DESIRE, THE SAME NEED AND URGENCY, THE

SAME LONLINESS AND WANT FOR OUTSIDE CONTACT. CONVICTS ARE PEOPLE

WHO MADE A MISTAKE. MAYBE SEVERAL. BASIC HUMAN NEEDS NEVER

CHANGE, NO MATTER WHAT WORLD YOU LIVE IN.

TALES WILL GO ON, NO MATTER WHO HATES AND WHO DOSEN’T. THE CONVICTS

NEED THIS SITE, BABY. WE HAVE ENOUGH HATE IN OUR EVERYDAY LIVES AS IT IS.

THE HATERS OUT THERE WHO INSIST TALES SHUT DOWN? ISN’T GOING TO HAPPEN.

CONVICTS WILL SURVIVE, WITH OR WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT. GO HATE ELSEWHERE

BECAUSE TALES WILL CARRY ON…
