Letter from Stephen W. Winter to his parents, August 30, 1967
Scope and Contents
In this letter to his parents, Stephen seems to be reaching his breaking point. He begins by saying that it is not bad in there if you have no family, but quickly turns to expressing his true emotions. He has given up faith and all he does now is worry because he believes that having hope doesn't change your situation. He goes into a description of how prison eventually breaks people down. Presumably, Betty has recently been to visit him.
