Letters from Stephen W. Winter to his parents, May - August 1968

From May through August of 1968 there are only 6 letters from Stephen to his parents. Significantly less than previous months. In May, Stephen expresses that he does not believe that "Hellfire" is worse than prison as it has changed him physically, mentally, and spiritually. Also in May, Stephen received his typewriter from his parents and the letters going forward begin to be typed instead of handwritten. There are no letters dated in June 1968, as Stephen explains in a letter written in July, the prison was on a 40 day "deadlock" where everyone and everything was shut down. In letters from August 1968, Stephen primarily speaks about women he is interested in and his career plans after prison. However, there is one exception where he receives updates about old friends.
