Intro--Ebella76 from Florida

[Iceony76]

Hello Everyone,

I've been peeking in/out of Prison Talk for a while. Next month is going to make a year since I've known my guy. We made it official last month a couple of weeks after my visit with him. I live in Florida and that was my first time EVER in NY. In reading the different forums and blogs, I know that this is a great place to get the info and support I need. This has been a very interesting, surprising, and hard road for me. I never thought that a budding friendship would end up being such a loving and supporting one. I hope this newbie (me), gets some great insight and knowledge from you guys!

Advisory for PTO Members Regarding Requests from Journalists & Members of the Media, and Students/Researchers:

PTO welcomes journalists and/or members of the media to learn and educate themselves about prisons, prisoners, and their loved ones, as well as students and researchers doing research on these subjects.

We will, occasionally, allow the media or students/researchers to request information and personal stories from our members. However, PTO does not endorse any journalist, member of the media, story/report, media outlet, student/researcher, or educational/research institution.

If you decide to communicate with a media representative or a researcher, then you assume all of the risks involved. PTO is in no way liable for the outcome of the story/report/paper. Communication with members of the media and students/researchers is completely voluntarily and PTO holds no responsibility for the consequences of that communication.

PTO does not screen or authenticate any person(s) claiming to be from the media or from an educational/research institution, nor does PTO authenticate their motivations for obtaining the information.

As always, the disclosure of personal information (either yours or someone that is incarcerated) may have some serious repercussions. PTO has no way of predicting how the media or any researcher will present your story or that of your loved one. Any relationship with the media or any researchers is to be entered into at your own risk.

If you receive an unsolicited email or private message from a person claiming to be from the media or researching information for an educational or research institution, report it to the PTO Administration immediately.

It is hard to be far apart. I live in PA and my guy is in AZ. I dont think I will ever be able to visit him.

I hope that there is a chance that you could or that his bid is not a long one. It's hard being away from him, especially if you've gone up there already. It hasn't been easy. $$ is tight and on top of sending him some things and phone calls, it has been a blessing to see him. I really hope that you get to!
