Dad,

I don't really know what to say right now other than I am in jail. I guess I am writing to tell you this so you don't think I am dead or something when you don't hear from me for a while. I know we don't talk much but I also know that you would want to know. Right now I am feeling a bit scared and a bit worried. I got caught up in some stuff, and they arrested me last night. I only have one sheet of paper right now and I want to send a letter to Becca too, but once I get more paper I will write a longer letter to tell you about everything. Maybe I shouldn't because I am not sure if you want to hear it or not. I know you always said I would wind up in here if I didn't straighten up and I guess you were right. I want you to know I am sorry for everything I put you through including this. I hate to ask but I will probably be here for a while, is there any chance you can send money? I will try to call you collect once this letter has had a chance to get to you. I can understand if you don't accept the charge. Well guess I will let you go. Hope you have a good day.

Preston





Becca,

I am sure you have heard by now the cops arrested me last night and I am sure your pretty mad. I hope your not so mad that you don't read this letter. You have to tell everyone watch out for Jeff because he is a narc and the reason I am in here. I can't believe that he was wearing a wire all those times I sold stuff to him. I thought the dude was solid. After all we smoked weed together all the time, tripped on acid, ate shrooms. I guess I should have been more careful with who I was selling to. I know you told me to be and I should have listened. I just hope you don't do anything stupid like I did. If I were you I would flush everything we have in the apartment and shut up shop. I know lots of people will be after you to sell them stuff because I am in here but DON'T DO IT! We don't know who we can trust anymore and I don't want you getting thrown in here with me. I am running out of room but try to come visit me this weekend. The hours are 2-4 Saturday and Sunday.

I love you,
Preston
