Bill Lambie was featured in the December 2013 edition of San Quentin News. After CDCR approved his compassionate release, the Superior Court judge hearing the matter refused to let him out. He was subsequently transferred to a Hospice in Vacaville. Bill died shortly after we received these letters.
To the Editor-in-Chief:
I hope this gets to you O.K. I’m doing fine so far. We live in Pajamas and robes—very kick back.
Right now, there are 13 of us in the Hospice. There is room for 17 total. The food is great and the beds are adjustable hospital beds. I have a “sleep number” mattress with a little compressor that keeps the firmness where you set it, and a four drawer to keep my stuff in. They’ve furnished us with televisions. In the common room, we have a refrigerator, microwave, icemaker, and an instant hot water unit for coffee—etc. Of course, it’s air conditioned and heated.
Dear Steve,
Thank you for the copies of the S.Q. News, I really appreciate it. Anita got her five copies and is mailing them out to my family.
Give my regards to Arnulfo, Boston, Juan, Luke and the rest of the gang at the paper for me.
I’m very comfortable here, the care is very good here. when we’re full, the total population is 17, right now there are 14 of us.
thank you for your consideration,
Best regards, Bill Lambie
