"Re-examine all that you
have been told, dismiss that
which insults your soul."
Walt Whitman
WELCOME TO
MY WORLD
My name is Jake Shurley and I'm presently serving time at Corcoran State Prison, California. Over the years, I've owned several businesses, been married and had kids.
​
But my life hasn't been easy. My entire family was killed in a car accident on their way to visit me many years ago. I literally have no one in the world other than a few other Christian inmates and just one couple on the outside who occasionally helps me out and who made this website for me. I sure hope you enjoy it.
POEM OF THE DAY
One of my many talents is to write poems. I type them on a manual typewriter as we have no computers here. I'm told that my poems are well thought out and give people joy.
​
I'm offering my latest poem to you for FREE.
​
If you like my poem and it brings a smile to your face, I would appreciate any donation you could make. It actually costs money to be here (for soap, toothpaste, socks, etc.) and I have no way of making money as I am in the special needs section. And all of my relatives are gone.
Please enter my name "Jake" to your PayPal donation to make make sure that I receive your donation. Thank
you in advance. And may God be with you.
