Dear Mr Lee
Thank you for helping me and for believing in me.
When they say God works things out in his time, well, they’re right. I’ve
been stressful and depressed a lot now and all that’s been on my little
mind is just giving up. I do know that’s a sin, but I just can not
deal with it anymore.
Since I’ve been here at Sussex II State Prison, I’ve been robbed more times
than I can count. I got jumped also and just a few days ago (08-14-03)
the L.T. Miss. Bullock and the Major were picking with me as everybody else
does here because I can not talk.
Well anyway, the LT took my silver chain and my star of David because
I said I was a Jew but I’m not, I’m a (Catholic) black Hispanic Catholic.
Then took my drawing pens, but I never got a receipt for neither one.
It happens at Wallen’s Ridge State Prison too, the warden took my “Silver
Caps” and said I’ll get them back when I’m transferred, that’s what he said,
but I never got them. They had two diamonds in them so that’s why
they did not give them back to me. They cost $1700.00, now my chain
and charm! What next? I have no help and if I could not have
them they would not have let me buy them (chain and charm). I had the
caps in for a long time, every since I was locked up, but just now do they
take them from me because I can’t talk good. I can’t speak for myself
and I can not handle this anymore.
I’ve had three call-mates and all of them have taken my things after I
share with them. I told the officers but they can not do anything
when everybody buys commissary, but I used to go every week. Now I
just don’t eat anything, it’s bad when inmates steal from each other but
the administration too. What do I do?
It’s been a few weeks since I’ve had a real meal, but I do take showers
and I drink a lot of water, but Mr Lee I’ve had it, being in prison for a
crime I know I did not do, then losing my foster parents in a earth quake
in 1993 in California and now my chain, charm, 6-silver and pens, personal
food. I just do not understand. Well, hey my friend I drew this
picture for your web-site, whatever that may be and I hope you know I drew
it a little too big (sorry) but I hope you like it.
In closing the copy you sent to me I sent it to the Innocence Project of
the National Capital Region. They sent me a form or forms to fill
out and I did and sent them everything I had dealing with my case.
So I would like to have another copy for myself.
I like reading, drawing and having friends but I do not have this nor do
I have any family so no-one will miss me if I do die and the state will
get my money (my inheritance and trust fund).
I cannot find a woman that would like to be with me for me, it’s all about
my money and I do not have control of it my social worker who is my legal
guardian has power of attorney. She controls all my money unless I’m married
and that will never happen because every pen-pal I find all they want is
money then I don’t hear from them anymore! What luck I have or I’ve
been getting, right?!
Well, thanks for letting me talk with you. I didn’t mean to unload
all of what I was feeling, but I did and I thank you for hearing me.
Your friend
Chico Tibbs
P.S. Mr Lee, Do you think you could help me with finding a lady friend
that would love me for me and not for my inheritance and trust fund?
I’ve never had sex before. I love to draw. Reading my bible,
watching T.V., listening to music, playing music, I smoke but I can stop
if needed, I don’t do drugs, drink, lie or steal. I don’t have much
of a background that’s talkable but I will talk of it if needed. I
like brunettes and black, fair women. Spanish or White! She can
not hate people as a person. See if you can find someone down here
near me, if not it’s all right. I’ll always be there for her but it has to
be the same! She can have kids, I love kids and I have a plan when
I get out. I’ve never had a girlfriend so she’ll be my first and last
if that is what she wants.
How Chico Tibbs Wishes To Live His Life.
Date 08-12-02
1 I want to build a children’s home. A home for kids
who have no parents, a home for kids, who have been sexually abused, and
all of the above. This center will have the staff that is completely there
for the children. The ages will range from 2
months to 22 years old. We will make sure that they have
a demanding future waiting for them before they are set free from our
care. In this center will be everything a child could ever dream for
in life and more. Plus the most of all education, but the education
will be a fun thing something they want to do. The teachers will make
learning an easy thing for these children.
2 I want to own a shopping mall and everything inside
it. All the stores and the little shops and then some, giving people
a job who can’t find work and “trusting ‘em”!
3 Spending a lot of time with my wife and puppy and cats.
Going places. All the time.
4 Singing, I want to get my singing off the ground and
enjoy every bit of it and the life that comes with it. This will never happen
because of my voice.
5 Read my life through a book. I want to write
a book about who I am and how I got to the easy way of living!
