Opinion: Prison communication is getting more, not less, expensive By Jewu Richardson
Jewu Richardson in 2013.
I was in prison on my daughter’s 8th birthday. While it wasn’t the first of her birthdays I spent behind bars, it was the first for which I had no money to call her. I felt terrible. I didn’t know how to make it up to her. I didn’t want her to get used to my absence or to think this was normal. I had seen it happen over and over to the men around me: active and willing fathers who lost their babies because of the cost of a call.

I just read “Democrats’ proposed pandemic tax hikes show what’s wrong with Connecticut,” (Jan. 29), by Sen. Heather Somers in the Op-Ed/Guest Opinions section of The Day. As a disabled veteran draftee, I would not dream of owning property, such as a house, in Connecticut. It is too unaffordable. Connecticut government is predatory and hostile. I have moved away several times. Now I am getting too old to move. This Democrat, one-party leadership is truly tyrannical. Senator Somers provides a highly accurate assessment of Senate President Martin Looney’s, D-New Haven, barbaric, cannibalistic state government. All I have to look forward to is my death. Maybe I will see Senator Looney, and the likes of him, in hell? We will see how much power and authority he has then!
