... But this cat must remain alive and kicking
Writing to a friend is easy, writing a story could be easy at times, writing to a prisoner in full control of your emotional state is a huge challenge that we could make it successful or simply fail it. The choice is only ours.
I choose to help out as I feel I must return something back to my community... my community is broad; local and international. My social responsibilities are color blind and broad minded. All human beings are part of my community.
Our role is to provide encouragement, a bit of moral support and yes that tiny piece of paper brings a bit of reassurance to a human being, "yes mate you still belong..."
Our role is to stay away from intruding into "why they are in prison" eventually they will volunteer the information to fill someone's curiosity... but please refrain from asking the why's...
Our role is to stay away from critising their behaviour or mentality...
Letters and or communications are to be polite as they are censored both ways, in and out.
Correspondence or printed material in relation to religion, politics and offensive expressions towards Thai or any country's judicial system, kingdom or officials will block our mission.
Let's do the wiser thing
Stop... Ask before you Act
Life in prison has many rules and they change with the change of management as well, it is wise to ask before visiting or sending care-packages.
Money money money... must not be attached inside the envelopes... please ask before acting as the money could be confiscated.
