Dear SQNews,
Once again I just want to say thank you for all you do. I love all the stories of support and giving back. I want to show my support to SQN, and I want to stay on the mailing list. One of the things I do to feel good is my artwork, and I live for the artwork you guys showcase. Maybe one day I will send some of my work. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work.

Dear SQNews,
I am writing as a reader of San Quentin News for a couple of years. I have been in the New York State Department of Corrections for about 25 years now. I love to read and write. Thank you for your selflessness in sending your newspaper to me free of charge. If possible please continue to send me since I have moved.

Dear SQNews,
I am grateful to be a part of positive Peer Support program here at Pelican Bay State Prison and attend groups with them, to share my life experiences. My fellow peer supporters help me grow in many areas of my life and facing challenges. With a non-judgmental ear they give me knowledge, guidance, and many tips on navigating through challenges in a more self-determined life. My fellow Peer Support Specialists have helped me develop goals, build confidence, improve empathy, and understanding. Thank you CDCR for this program it has helped me to be a better person and one day prepare me to be a person and one day a member of my community and society.

Dear SQNews,
I am writing to say I really appreciated the focus on the LGTBQ+ community. Here in Montana we do not have anything that sheds light on the turmoil the transgender people endure. Please send my greetings to the LGBTQ+ community there and wishes to them all.

Dear SQNews,
I enjoy reading your newspaper whenever I can get my hands on one. Keep up the good work on informing us incarcerated on what is going on in the prison system here in California and all over the world. I want to stay informed on the new laws inside and outside of the prison. Thank you sincerely.
