Welcome to my web page.

My name is Ann Staggs. I am a student of life and learning is a goal
that I attempt to reach each and every day.
For without learning new things in life you become stale, then bored,
then boring, and then you accelerate the rate of dying. Learning keeps your
mind young and active, a true goal of the maturing generation.
Some of my interests are reading,
writing, photography and pottery. I also enjoy sewing at times. I volunteer at
the following radio station, KPFT 90.1 FM in Houston. One of my interests is helping
the families and friends of the approximately 160,000 incarcerated
inmates/offenders in the Texas
penal system endure the time that their loved one is away from them. By volunteering at the station, I feel that I
contribute to the mental health and sometimes to the physical health (by
contacting the medical department or their families to encourage them to become
active in the well-fair of their loved one.).
You see, I have a vested interest in the health and well-fair of the
offenders, as I am married to an offender.
I am the Phone Coordinator/ Co- Producer for The Prison Talk Show that
airs on Friday night from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m...
The first hour of the show is the talk part of the show. It covers issues of the Texas prison system and mail from the
inmates to the host, Ray Hill. He
encourages the inmates to write to him about the different issues that are
pending that affects them. The second
hour of the show enables the families and friends of inmates/offenders to
communicate with the offenders via the phone, over the air. My job at the show is to answer the phone
calls and enter them into the computer in preparation for the callers to talk
to the inmates. Mr. Hill is the one that
introduces the callers to the listening audience and encourages them to say
what they need to tell their loved one.
It is a great service to both the listening audience and the offenders.
We have listeners from all over the world that call the show to talk to the
inmates. It is not unusual for us to
receive calls from Europe, New Zealand
or Australia
on any given Friday night. All can
listen to the show via the internet.

For getting to know more about different inmates/offenders
try reading about them on http://survivingthesystem.com This is a site
provided for the inmates to submit their life stories and some of their
writings for the public to read.
The two young ladies in the photo are two of my four
granddaughters. They are the light of my
life and make being a grand mother a pure joy.

I am enrolled at Montgomery Community
College at this time. I hope to expand my knowledge of computers
and business to aide in my becoming an up to date grandmother. I want to be able to help my grand daughters
with their projects in the future. They
are lively young ladies with great futures and I want to be part of it. Both enjoy animals and working with
them. They live on a ranch and have
access to all sorts of animals.
