Adam Drake: Lockup Colorado – He Just Shouldn’t Be In Jail
This is Adam Drake. Everyone watching LockUp probably thought, man what a goofball. I thought, oh god, I miss him.
Wasn’t expecting it to make me laugh and cry and at the same time, but it did. Seeing him as an adult (last time I saw him was just before he was sent to Colorado from Massachusetts, just before he turned 18, just before he shot a man.)
The laugh montage is Adam Drake. The shrugs, the smiling, the laugh, the pain in the ass anti-establishment breaking of silly rules; that is Adam Drake. He shouldn’t be in jail for life without parole when half of his prison is filled with sex offenders and gang members who killed for fun and raped for frolic. Adam isn’t a sex offending gang banger, he’s a shrugging, laughing goofball who shot a child predator in self defense and I’d let him babysit my daughter.
God fucking damn it. He shouldn’t be in prison.
That is all.

After posting about one of my dearest and oldest friends, Adam Drake, I’ve noticed a good amount of people have been searching for him. Since I love him as much as I do, I feel he should get as many letters as possible.
If you would like to help Adam Drake, please write to the politicians of Colorado, petition the legislature to reconsider their judging of Juveniles as adults and putting them away for life, please his case to the governor directly, letting him know Adam went to jail for killing a child predator, OR if none of those moves suit your fancy, write Adam a letter. It’s a long day in a tiny cell, he’d probably love to hear from you.
Adam Drake’s Address:
102616, LCF
49030 State Hwy, 71
Limon, CO 80826
Let him know Caitlin loves him and sent you.
Disclaimer:
I have to add this now, having received messages from aggressive discontents, twice now. This article is a news clipping from the time that Adam was charged. Now when you search for Adam, you get his writeaprisoner profile, my blog, then this article. I’ve had two real works of art send me this article as though they’ve magically found the holy grail. I add it to deter the neanderthals from sending me further copies of it. (Now they’re not Neanderthals because they disagree with me. They’re Neanderthals because they take the time to search Adam, then come at me when they find him. Clearly he made an impression, still, that doesn’t excuse their classless behavior when they aren’t sure how to respond to feeling drawn to him. I appreciate a good back and forth every now and then, just not with Neanderthals. 
I am more than content to hear another point of view, when expressed with respect. If you have to insult me in order to make your point, you probably don’t have one.)
That having been said, I know Adam. I know the details of the crime that has placed him in Limon. The article does not share those. The article fails to mention a great deal. Those details are Adam’s business, but in knowing them, I find it impossible NOT to stand by my friend. And I always will. Sorry guy who tried to tell me the article would change my world and turn my loyalty like it’s as cheap as a two dollar hooker. You were mistaken.
I do not condone or promote murder/death/killage, by any means, but I stand by my friend for one simple reason. Were I placed in a similar situation, I cannot say I would not have done the same. Having your life or safety, or the lives and safety of your friends placed in jeopardy is a situation I would never wish on anyone, as I would have never wished it on Adam.

Just going off seeing the episode and this account of what took place … fuck no he shouldn’t be in prison for life! Most child predators and sex offenders repeat their offenses (and worsen them), they don’t ever get better and those gross fucks deserve to die. I think as a bare minimum child predators and rapists should get their dicks cut off after their third offese … three convictions and the lil man is gone! I’m not saying that Adam Drake should’ve gotten off scott free, but he should have another chance at life for sure … what kind of country do we live in that we can’t protect our neighbors, shit half the time if we protect ourselves we get thrown in the slammer. What the fuck!
i agree with all of you. at the most he should of got was manslaughter with maybe 5 years and a baby raper piece of shit should getb adams time with there dicks cut off and CHIMO tattooed across there forehead wuth no chance of (PC) protective custody so they can feel what our kids feel when they get fucked i would let adam watch my kids and grandchild
Broke my heart to see this boy and his mother on Lock up. He reminds me of my nephew which makes it more haunting. May I ask..was there proof this man he killed was a sex offender?
I will try to help..
Hi from Australia I just finished watching the episode of lock up with Adam. I feel sorry for the guy he looks so out of place in prison, I have decided to write him personally hopefully a letter from a foreign country will cheer him up a bit! Is the address for him still current ?

It is Shayne. Go for it, but understand that he might take some time to get back to you. He responds to every letter though, so have patience.
[...] I read more about Adam from whatever I could find online (there isn’t much), I found one of his friend’s blogs. Adam ran away from home. Did not like school. Lived on the streets. He doesn’t seem like a [...]

Hello. I have been corresponding with Adam for about 10 months now. He is a very sweet person and has a good soul. He does not deserve the punishment hee received.
i correspond with him also, haven’t heard from him in awhile. When’s the last time you got a letter from him. I know it takes him awhile to respond a lot. HA.
Hey. I got a Christmas card from him about a week before Christmas. He said he has trouble sometimes finishing letters. He is a sweetheart. He will write back. Sometimes it just takes a little while.
