Wow!!! Freedom in question
All I can say is wow!!! This story is especially crazy to me for many reasons. I always hear "My future/My Life" (my nickname for my man) talk about how people do drugs in jail just like on the street but I didn't think it was this real. So basically women like Mone are taking chances with there own freedom as they try to assist there friends in making extra money while behind bars. It also hits close to home because Mone is the same age as me so I hope the best for her because we have so much life left. Also cause I have been on a couple of visits when people have been escorted out for allegedly passing drugs. Nothing ever materialized but I can just imagine the embarrassment and anger over interrupting the only time a week you can see and touch your loved one. Which leads me to think would you ever jeopardize your freedom for anyone??

The Last 3 months
So the last three months have been rough to say the least. My boyfriend has been moved to a prison in upstate New York. Because he has such a short amount of time left I will try not to complain. I miss him like crazy!!! But luckily enough for me I have a family, business www.5149group.com, a full-time job and bi-weekly visits to get me through. I'm so proud of the progress we have made as a couple and as a business. 5149group is a business we started the first time he got in trouble in New York years ago. 5149group sells clothing, food, bath and body products to inmates in NYS prisons system. We have gone from a 3 page fold-out brochure to a 9 page catalog and we are still growing. He has less then a year a left and for that I am truly grateful. I hope to use this blog as journal/platform to help myself and other ladies get through their bids with the guys they love. Tell a friend and become a member yourself and lets trade resources. www.5149group.com

Suspected rapist mocks Bronx DA's office
A man whose DNA linked him to three brutal sex attacks — but who will soon be released thanks to mistakes by the Bronx district attorney’s office — ridiculed prosecutors Sunday for the botched job.
“It’s a joke,” Brian Brockington said in a phone interview from Rikers Island. “If they had my DNA, how come I’m only in here on assault?”
Brockington, 35, was arrested on rape charges in 2007 and his cousin Rodney Howard, 36, was arrested two years later after their DNA matched evidence from a 1993 gun-point attack on a 29-year-old woman.
But because of a police backlog, the DNA evidence from the crime wasn’t processed for nearly a decade — and prosecutors filed charges a day after the crime’s 10-year statute of limitations expired, said Steven Reed, spokesman for the Bronx DA.
The DA’s office realized their error only after the cousins were arrested — and prosecutors were forced to drop the rape charges.
Two other cases against Brockington were also dismissed — one involving the rape of a drunken woman at a Soundview party in 2003 and sex-abuse charges stemming from a 1997 attack on a Bronx woman — because of “evidentiary issues,”including uncooperative witnesses who refused to testify, Reed said.
“We couldn’t make a case without them,” Reed said of the victims.
Brockington poked fun of Bronx prosecutors when told his DNA linked him to all three crimes - knowing he wasn’t going to be charged in any of them.
“How’d they mess up? That’s crazy,” he cackled.
He continually professed his innocence.
“I didn’t rape anyone,” he said smugly."I don't rape," he said. “They got me on assault. That’s it. Period.”
Brockington has been in jail for nearly five years after pleading down to attempted assault in the 2003 Soundview case. He is expected to be released soon with time served and will avoid having to register as a sex offender.
Charges were also dropped against Howard, who was freed last February.
