You will be a successful author, Jon, Your writing is quite compelling. I can't wait to read your jail diary in full and your autobiography when they are published. Keep up the good work, even though it must be hard without a computer.

I didn't realise it was your birthday soon or I would have put some sort of amusing card in with your letter. I'll make sure I dance the night away on your behalf. Jamie from Sheffield.
Jon,
would you care to comment on the reason why you are in prison and how you regard the whole incident with hindsight?
What are your current opinions on drugs and crime in todays modern society?
