Chapter 4
Emberford Department of Corrections
Dear James,
Merry Christmas, even though you’re an atheist. I guess, Happy Holidays?
I think it’s all a crock of crap. This is probably a stupid question, but do they decorate for the holidays in there?
I guess they’re probably not hanging up a bunch of garlands and trimming a tree in the courtyard, but I would imagine they should do something for the religious people, right? Is that a thing?
It’s snowing like crazy out here. Do they still give you yard time when it’s crappy outside? Work is going as well as work ever does. Connie quit, but as we’ve talked about, that was a long time coming. I’m now officially the most senior employee of June’s. Lucky me!
Did you ever find out what happened to that one guy that died in Cellblock F? I still have seen absolutely nothing about it on the news, and it’s driving me crazy. You know I’m a sucker for the drama. Stop holding out on me!
Speaking of holding out on you, I feel like I probably should have told you sooner, but I figured you should know that I’m gay. I guess I was a little nervous to tell you in case you stopped writing to me. Now I don’t have to feel bad about not telling you for almost a year.
Sorry.
Avery
