Write Me 20 Pages, and I'll Write You 25

What happens when you've spent nearly 30 years behind bars, but you still have a whole lot to say? Meet John Davis, a 53-year-old incarcerated man in Rhode Island. John is a passionate writer, artist, and poet who believes that genuine friendships are built on honesty, respect, and giving each other your time. His motto for anyone considering writing him? “Write Me 20 Pages, and I'll Write You 25!”

In this heartfelt and often funny conversation, John opens up about his love of writing and drawing, his hopes for parole, and his desire to build meaningful connections with people on the outside. He isn't looking for money, games, or false promises. What he really wants is someone's time, a little conversation, and perhaps a few pictures of what the outside world looks like -- from a rainy day to the changing leaves on the trees.

Big Steve and John also discuss the challenges of finding trustworthy pen pals, the importance of being yourself, and how a simple letter can provide a much-needed mental escape from prison life. John has a lot to say, a big heart, and a creative spirit that refuses to be confined. If you're looking for a pen pal who will genuinely invest in getting to know you, John might just be your guy!
