I suspect that all the letters on the site are phony.
Does anyone really believe a teenage fan wrote this ---
Dear Mr. Stanley
I am a young teenager from New York. I am not involved in any kinds of gangs, but I am very rebellious and I have a bad attitude. I was just introduced to your books two days ago and I already feel the need to change. Your stories are now a part of my motivation. Because with my attitude, I was heading down the same road you took, before you became the man you are today, one of my heroes. Thanks.
Put the mad dog down!
Another totally phony letter --
Dear Mr.Williams,
My name is K_____, and I'm the 6551st person to sign your petition. I really think you are one of the best role models alive. When our teacher at school told us to choose a role model and write a 2-page report on this person, the first person that popped into my head was you. I'm in the 9th grade going into the 10th. At my school there are a lot of kids who are badly influenced, and are in gangs. Our school has one of the worst reputations. I almost joined a gang, and if it wasn't for your movie, I would have been in it right now. I really owe you a lot. I hope that the governor of your state takes the death row away.
Sincerely, K.E.
stanley's book has stopped me and my friends from about to do a murder. i had to talk them out of it and gave them a copy of life in prison.

That murdering scumbag, Tookie, has a guest book too: http://www.htmlgear.tripod.com/guest/control.guest?u=bons77&a=sign&i=1001&r=http://www.tookie.com/mail.html
Ever hear the expression, That's the way the Tookie crumbles?
Enjoy your trip on the 13th.
Tookie,
I am a 20 year old man from Iowa. The other day I sat down after I watched your movie Redemption and thought about all the things that I've done in my life and counted how many years that I should be in prison. Every day between the age of 18 and 20 I risked getting 25 to life for the things I was doing. I counted the years I should be doing for the other things I did and in 6 months time I racked up well over 300 years doing the minimum time for each crime that I committed. Only through the grace of my higher power whom I choose to call God that didn't happen. As well as no longer living a life of crime or violence I am also a recovering addict. I will have 8 months clean on June 15 -- that is 8 months without the use of any mood changing chemicals. Before I watched the movie I was making plans to start living my old life again. I wanted all the money and girls and respect (or fear) of others -- but after I watched the movie and started to do some research on you, I found that we are not all that different. I realized that I was going down that same road in a hurry. You helped me see that. The only way I can think to close this letter is to try to express my gratitude for the way you touched my life. It is with the utmost respect and gratitude that I say thank you.
