My name is Leo Jones, Jr., I am a 66yr.old Afri-Amer. male born in Lawton, Ok. I had been sentenced to over 100 yrs. in prison. I spent 25 of those yrs. in various Ok. prisons. I am a 'Poet'. I taught myself how to write poetry in prison. My father and mother instilled in me a love of poetry at an early age. For me this is just an extension of that love. I am married and reside in Charlotte, NC with my wife Martha Mae Jones.
