Michael called the other night, and sounded to be in good spirits! Even though I reported that Interview Magazine was visiting this past week, that was not accurate. I needed to find out for him when Interview Magazine really is coming to visit him, so he was relieved to finally know the date. It turns out it's easier to get answers for Michael by calling people that don't work for the prison system!

It seems that since he is "short to the door" with his sentence, more people will be interested in his future on the outside and come knocking. I think it will at least keep him thinking positive. His future will never get here if he doesn't get into the drug treatment program soon! He's still waiting.

Michael is expecting Interview Magazine this week to come to Coxsackie to interview him. He's happy that there's interest in him, especially since he may be released this year. Otherwise, Michael still awaits an opening in the drug program. He keeps busy with writing and painting. 

I'm back to my old shopping routine for Michael. Picking out food he can have,especially fresh fruit and veggies. There's a lot of rules for sending home packages to prison, and they can change without prior knowledge. Unfortunately there's a food package limit, that's why it's better that only one person send the food as it's easier to keep track that way. Otherwise, any extra packages would just be thrown away, or sent back at Michael's expense. 

Michael loves visitors, so if you're close enough to go, please email me at comments@michaelaligblog.com. There are Prison Buses on the weekends, along with Amtrak & a Taxi ride if you don't drive. I only assist with visiting so that no one is turned away at the prison gate because a visitor is already inside.

Michael continues to wait for the drug program to start, as he's on the waiting list. Luckily his paint supplies have arrived so he's able to paint again. He has not done so since late in March 2009. He's also working on responding to all the letters he gets, so he's keeping busy.

One of the activities in a regular prison is the weekend movies. They are not always the highlight of the week, and I couldn't remember the names of the movies Michael told me about! Yes, they're that bad! I think they are "straight to DVD" movies! Michael said on one night the Inmates were walking out it was so bad!

He is enjoying calling his friends again! It is nice to hear his voice all the time, as he always has a funny story to tell.
