INDIANAPOLIS - Through the barbed wired fences at the prison in Pendleton, incarcerated criminals have a message for the young men caught up in a life of crime in Indianapolis.

They're getting that message out through a letter and book called "Prison is for Real," which they recently sent to the Ten Point Coalition, a group that works in Indianapolis neighborhoods with a mission to stop violent crime.

According to Ten Point's leader, Rev. Charles Harrison, the 20 page booklet is real talk about what prison is like and how the men got there.

"These are individuals with long prison terms," explains Harrison, thumbing through the pages.

One of the authors is 18 years old and serving a sentence of life without parole. He writes in the book, "As a teen, I never thought I'd die in prison, but that's my reality now."

"Never getting out. I think that's a message. It's a good message," says another Ten Point member, Darryl Jones.

It's a message the booklet's authors hope the Ten Point Coalition will bring to the young men they're meeting on their patrols in some of the city's most crime ridden areas.

"If just one reads it and one gets something out of it, you save one," said Jones.

Jones doesn't have to read the book to know what prison's like. He's already been there eight times since he was 23.

"Prison is a whole new world. Prison is another life for you," he explains. "I don't want to see these kids go through that."

Ten Point Coalition gets help from unexpected source

The sophomore congressman from Maryland isnt given to pauses in his monologue, but this time he ponders for a second or two when asked how he came up with an idea to yank America out of transportation quicksand.

I looked at all the factors a while ago and said, This is where were going to go. People may not realize it, but they will, says Rep. John Delaney (D).

They realize it now.

Just as success has a thousand fathers, the concept of using almost $2trillion in offshore corporate cash to bail out the beleaguered federal trust fund for roads, bridges and transit seems to have lots of parents on Capitol Hill these days.

The number one source that is being talked about is this repatriation of funds, House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Bill Shuster (R-Pa.) told the U.S. Conference of Mayors in January.

A couple of years ago, however, when the then-freshman congressman from Potomac began pushing the concept, it took a while before bipartisan support more than 40 members from each party emerged.

When we started talking about this two years ago, people were like, Whats that idea? People viewed it as a real out-of-the-box idea, Delaney says, and now everyones talking about it. The presidents making references to it, Speaker [John] Boehner talked about it, and you hear that Rand Paul and Barbara Boxer are thinking about a bill.

In fact, when Boxer and Paul announced their proposal, the unlikely marriage between the liberal California Democratic senator and the Libertarian-leaning Kentucky Republican senator drew attention as much for style as for content.

Theres a tremendous amount of momentum in the Congress and the administration converging toward this idea, Delaney says. Theres a real natural deal to be done there between Democrats and Republicans.

He figures its picking up steam because there is a total absence of other ideas to deal with this problem, other than lets raise the gas tax.

Ok, so Im just about hysterical over the pink dots in my driveway.

The blue markings, orange stripes, flags, stakes with colored ribbons, and huge concrete monoliths only vaguely bothered me because I didnt associate them with encroachment on my front door.

Then the PINK MYSTERY was explained to me by one of the diggers (my 3-year-old granddaughters term for the construction crew on Kelly Street). The pink paint, a few feet from my porch, means Im going to lose most of my front yard and driveway. Instead, itll be an eight foot sidewalk, and if I park there, Ill get a knock on my door from a deputy telling me to pull my truck closer to the house and get off the public right of way. Expensive grass sod laid last summer has been chewed up by bulldozers, along with my beautiful camellia tree and giant cedar. The magnolia and pear tree escaped by inches.

Walking the dog means stumbling over piles of dirt, unearthed roots, and broken concrete while avoiding deep holes. Im trying to explain to Bogie that hell eventually have a wider sidewalk and new grass. Just be patient, I told him.

In my own pursuit of patience, I contacted Joe Bodi, a city engineer who was gracious enough to come to my house and speak to me and a neighbor about our concerns.

One unhappy fact I learned is that what we thought was our property along Kelly was never ours. When our homes were built in the 1970s, the county had authority but not much interest in little Destin. Five foot sidewalks were poured, thus allowing homeowners to assume that personal front yards stopped at sidewalks edge and/or at utility poles.

While assuming is never a good idea, that assumption is valid in many communities.

I couldve verified that information on my survey and lot description, but for me thats about as useful as reading a diagram for an Egyptian water clock written in hieroglyphics. So, content with my assumptions, I cared for what I thought was my yard. Watering, mowing, and planting trees.

Well, at least now, I only have a four-foot strip of grass to maintain. And I can stand on my porch and determine the eye color of passersby on the sidewalk or hand them a pear.

Mr. Bodi offered several assurances. Grass will be replaced, sprinklers will be reconnected, any damage done to residential property will be made right, and destroyed driveways will be replaced as part of the sidewalk. Still, if I were that neighbor who lost his beautiful brick driveway, Id be upset.
