Tricks and treats help animate this California prison during the spooky season.
Jim “The Weatherman” Beart is approaching 70 years old. He has served close to 35 years of a life without parole sentence, but that gloomy prognosis hasn’t dampened his spirit.
“Some of the ghosts are empty with no candy inside,” he said with a chuckle. “But I still tell people, ‘If you get a trick, just come back and I’ll give you a candy one.’” He has also encountered problems with roommates before. Our rooms are designed for four prisoners, but are stuffed with eight. Overcrowding means less space, which causes short tempers and lost patience. When Jim encounters these issues, he says he compromises and keeps his decorations to his side of the room.After adorning his cell, Jim takes his festive spirit to the classroom. At VSP there are small rooms within each dayroom with desks where students can study.
