Subject: My son Matthew

I am writing in desperation for my 19 year old son, Matt. He is in jail in Tarrant County in Ft Worth, TX. He is awaiting trial and may go to prison for 10-20 years. He has been suffering from seizures and has several head injuries from assaults from another prisoner and from falling from the seizures. My wife and I are only allowed one visit per week and we went to see him the other night and were horrified by his condition. He was falling down from the drugs they had him on. He told us he had tested positive for HIV. My wife and I are devastated. If he is sent to prison it will be just the same as sentencing him to death. I have been a soldier in the Army for the last 20 years but this is nothing I could have prepared for. Our marriage is falling apart from all the stress as well. We went through Matt's brother Jon being shot last year and almost being killed. I have a 12 year old son as well and I am sure this is hurting him although he doesn't know about what Matt told us about his HIV status. I have prayed to God to allow me to stand in Matt's place. No one wants to see their children suffer. I have come to the place where all I have is prayer and no power over this situation. I ask for your prayers for Matt and hope for God to have mercy on us.
