To whom it may concern....by Tyree Bailey

Bet your life that I am innocent ! But, I am sure I have thousands who will say « yeah right, just like everyone else ».
Sometimes in life, you have gotta say fuck it and go for it ! It doesn't matter what people say or who doubts you. I refuse to be a victim of anything ! I refuse to accept what happened to me. Yeah, I am in prison for now, but will fight to the death of me before I call this place home.
Nothing comes easy nor does it come without a price. I expect to go through hell, I expect to see more of the worst, but I will never fold...NEVER ! And I am not just saying that for me, I say that for every single person in prison, General Population to Death Row... NEVER GIVE UP ! Hold your head up with respect and demand it at all times. Mistakes are mistakes, no matter what, your are still human !
Fight for your rights and beliefs, fight for your life, fight for your family ! Stand up to the system that placed you where you are. Be a man about your situation, be humble in respecting your wrongs, but don't you ever accept any fate that goes beyond humanity !!!
I don't come to you with my hand out, asking for anything... I only ask my fellow inmates to think, for just a minute about what we have been given... Do you want that ? To say no is a start, but nothing will ever change if all you can or are willing to do is say no !! I look to you all before I look anywhere. We are all that we have !!! You all are me, and I know no one else can possibly understand this struggle better than someone who lives or has lived it !
I don't have explanations, I only have facts, I have no excuses, I only offer my story... love me or leave me alone, fight with me or walk away and never look back.... pray for me or wish me death !
FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE !!! TO DO ANYTHING ELSE IS TO BE DEAD ALREADY !!!
Seriously speaking,
