Dear Mother,

I think of you all the time, wondering what you’re doing right now. The
time is about ten o` clock and we’re lying in our beds to sleep but I cannot. I wish I never had started to cause trouble, maybye then I would have been with you right now. You never answer me, and that makes me go crazy, I miss you so much that you can’t understand.

My cellmate is called Tony and he is a nice guy but the others are teasing him. They are teasing me too, just beacuse I’m smaller and more clever than they are. There are so many stupid boys here they just fight, and I’m one of them, but I promise you to stop for your sake. But it’s hard because I need to protect myself and Tony, he is no fighter but I think he was placed here for possession of drugs. We don’t talk so much but I like him anyway.

Every Sunday a man who works here comes to take some of us for a ride in his car. I talked to him last Sunday and he asked me about you. I told him that you are a very kind person and I told him how much I love you! I wish you could answer my letters, it would make me so happy!

I think the man in the car likes me, he is so nice to me and if a could
show him that I had learned a lesson , maybe I could be free sooner. I hope that Tony also could get a pardon to be out of here, beacuse he is a guy who never does anything stupid. He just sits by the table when we eat and doesn´t say a word. I felt guility for him, I don’t want him to be here, I’m convinced that it will go well for him in life if he could get out of here to study. We are going in school here to, but it is not the same thing. I remember when I went to school for the first time about five years ago, I was living at a foster home and they wanted me to go to school so I did.
It was fun but I didn´t like that the boys wanted to hit me all the time, I couldn’t do anything to protect myself, they were too big.

Yesterday I was thinking of your beauty, and I need to tell you about it. You have the most beautiful face I have ever seen! I can’t imagine how it would be to tuck oneself into bed when you are telling me a story. I’m sure that you have great imagination and I think you’re telling stories to Anna and Mina when they cannot sleep, am I right?

I shall write to you as soon as I can but its hard to be alone here, there are a lo...
