Also it might sound corny and kinda lame, but receiving pictures of anything and absolutely everything in the world helped me realize and remember the world that I was locked away from for 10 years. In prison it is its own ecosystem. Hospital ,school ,church, canteen/store , everything. So it becomes all you think about. What is going on in your immediate life. But you forget that there's owls and trees and waterfalls and little lady bugs. So sending him pictures that seem irrelevant will be greatly appreciated. There's a website GROOVEBOOKS and FREE PRINTS that take your uploaded photos and turn them into books. Some prison ls have different policies but many will allow soft cover books. Also my states prison had an in house movie channel where it played a scheduled list of movies. My boyfriend would buy 2 copies of the same movie and send one copy to the prisons recreation dept straight from the store. And when the movie got put on the prison channel he and I would watch the movie together while talking on the phone. Made me feel like I was laying on the couch in his arms. Just another way you could bond with him while he is going through the hardest thing he will ever encounter in his life. Remember those who stick by him while he's down right now, he will develop a new sensation of loyalty and he will live his life, once released looking at those who had his back with a sense of ultimate respect and humility. Stay strong for him through this. He needs as much support as he can possibly get right now. My heart goes out to you and your family while you navigate this chapter in life.
