My name is Charles, but I prefer to be called Junior.  I'm a thirty seven year old African male, from Tulsa, Oklahoma.  I'm six foot tall and 250 pounds. 

     Enjoyable activities include reading, jogging, weightlifting, sports viewing and leather and model car crafting.  Of course, there are other activities of interest, but my location behind "the fence" limits the choices; But, can never limit aspirations.  I'm 3 credit hours from obtaining an Associate's Degree from Donnelly College in Kansas City and I actually aspire to earn a Master's Degree within this lifetime. 

     Criminal activity was a choice, not force.  The wrong choice, no doubt. Illicit drug markets led me to Wichita several years later and I'm still held captive, neither an inmate nor convict, but very much a prisoner.  No relatives reside in Kansas.

     For several years I've considered posting a web listing as days blurr into months and months into years, the overly apparent need for outside and non prison tainted communication has become undeniable.  Letters and phone calls to family and a few remaining childhood friends have been appreciated, but will not be sufficient to avoid becoming "of prison" as opposed to " in prison." 

     I've grown extremely annoyed with the unrealistic and meaningless conversations that result from so many unfocused minds, so many dreams and practically no plans.  Needless to say, I must obtain better company for continuing growth through the exchange of thoughts and ideals.

     I'm financially independent and secure by prison standards, as I generate my own income. You can quote me as I declare that I'll never request any financial assistance nor favors from any. 

     There is much more I could include, but I'll leave some room for questions.  I look forward to hearing from someone.  If not, I tried. (smile)
