PRISON POETRY

TINA

Husband Is In Jail Poem 

My name is Tina. My husband's name is Jason. He is currently in a state prison. He's been there 12 years, and I miss him so much. I moved over 300 miles from my hometown recently to the city where the prison is located so I could be here closer to him. I don't know anyone here, so it's been extremely hard. We still have a ways to go, but we'll make it. Our love is forever.

This is a part of Tina's poem

I feel a tear run down my face 

    As I sit in this quiet, lonely place. 

  I think of you and need you here. 

    I wipe away my falling tear. 

  I hit the floor on bended knee. 

    I ask, I beg, I start to plead. 

  Please bring him home.
