Letter from Tonya McNeill


On March 3 Tonya McNeill writes from Federal Prison Camp in Alderson, WV:

Hello once again. I hope and pray that things are fine, your way. As for myself, I'm fine. God has allowed me to see another day, so I can't and won't complain. Same routine, just a different date.

I'm presently in cosmetology school. I will be graduating and obtaining my license some time in July or August. So I have something to start with. Planning for my release [August 15 2007].

Jenai turned 5 years old on Feb. 24. As usual, this was a very hard day for me. Since Jenai was only 5 weeks old when they locked me up. We always told her I was in school.

I told her on Dec. 9, 2001 exactly where I am. So far- she's handle it okay. She has her days, that she cries for me. It seems to get harder and harder each day.

Yours sincerely,
Tonya McNeill
