For many years I visited such a person in prisons large and small, harsh and not so harsh, and received regular correspondence from him in which a lot more was said than at the visits. In the end he did away with himself not because of his crime but because of his situation. I don't know the exact nature of his crime and neither does Richard but he was Richard's best friend at school. They drifted apart when Richard moved but when Richard heard about it he started visiting, this was before I met Richard.

So what you're saying is, you were no comfort at all to this man?
Perhaps without your visits he would have coped with the depression of being banged up and still be alive today?
Sometimes no matter what we do, it's perhaps worse than doing nothing?
