oh, it s a letter from my brother robert. hey, bro, how are you doing in here? i hope you re doing good in here. i know it sucks being in here and you never really got a chance to bond with me. now wolford had become pen pals with his estranged sister andrea, who was also in the jail. so lockup came and interviewed me a couple of times. they showed me your picture and i broke down. i honestly didn t know i would do that but for some reason it hit me hard when i seen your picture. rekindling his relationship with his sister might seem like good news. but in prison, robert had become a member of the white supremacist gang, the aryan brotherhood. and andrea was engaged to a co-defendant, sheldon hickman. we re family no matter what choices we make or how many times we mess up. a white supremacist has a sister who s engaged to a black man. in the prison world, that is not acceptable. did you know your brother was in the aryan brotherhood? no.
what s that mean for you though? i look at it like this. my family will be here more for me than they will. since inmate mail takes several days to process, robert gave us permission to convey his decision to andrea the next time we saw her. also lockup told me you wrote me telling me you was giving it up for me because of the circumstances of interracial dating and because you believe family is more important. i want to thank you for doing that for me. and it touched me when they told me that. just know that i am very blessed to have you do that just for me and with the consequences of leaving the gang, i will do my best to keep you protected. i love you and i will write you later. i do want to thank him for that. i mean, family does mean everything. and with that being said, i definitely will come and visit him and be there for him since
he was much more lighthearted and much more of a jokester. what you want? what you want? bobby the white boy. give me some that, boy. you know. y all know how to do it. soon, this new angle to the wolford story was about to expand even further because robert and bobby were not alone. well, they got my brother robert here, they got my sister andrea here. turns out bobby and robert s sister andrea is also in the same jail. it s weird how [ bleep ] happens. i mean robert wolford is my brother from my dad s side. we have the same dad but we have different moms. me and bobby have the same mom and the same dad. unlike her older brothers who had been in and out of jail over the years, this was 19-year-old andrea s first time in jail. there s times where you have your down days and there s other times where you are just like, well, you can t do nothing about it.
yes. okay. so, this is this is robert. oh, my god. he looks just like us. yeah, you guys do look alike. when i saw your booking photo i knew you guys were brother and sister. oh, honey. you okay? what s making you emotional? because you haven t seen him in so long? when we did show her the picture her emotional reaction was big. she was really upset. and i comforted her in that situation because we re only human and it s hard when you stand in front of someone and they start breaking down over something and to just stand back, it is really hard to do that. we have to do it all the time, but for some reason in that moment i just wanted to comfort her and let her know that, you know, people care. and understand that it s a hard
situation to be without your family. it just hurts not being able to see him face to face and actually go hang out and do something a brother and sister would do together. have that family bond that families should have. so here we have three siblings who, although separated by units, were suddenly under the same roof. for the first time in a long time. and andrea was yearning for a relationship with her brother robert, so she started writing him letters. but after so many years apart, that family bond might not be so easily forged. especially given andrea s relationship with sheldon. during his time in prison, robert joined the white supremacist gang, the aryan brotherhood. i don t believe i m racist. i believe it s just who i am. i don t sit here call the black dude n word. i just don t believe with a white woman messing with a black
