David Bomber
Incarcerated Artist
Hello there, my name is David Bomber. I am a 46 year old, native of Detroit, Mi., however for most of my life I have resided in Roanoke, Va. There, I attended Virginia Western Community College where I first pursued a degree in information systems technology, then later in Electrical Engineering before becoming interested in the study of law. Although my goal to obtain a degree has temporarily been put on hold, these days I nonetheless am a huge proponent for criminal justice reform and advocacy.
Besides my quest for fair punishment, I am in search of positive minded people to correspond with. In turns what you will discover is not only am I an avid writer that loves to share my thoughts and stories with others, but also I am a great listener too!
If this sounds like something that you would be interested in, then please do not hesitate to reach out to me by sending me an email at www.jpay.com (Jpay is a dedicated site that the Virginia Dept. of Corrections allows prisoners to send and receive emails through). In the alternative you may reach me via snail mail at the address below.
Thank you for your time and consideration. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I hope that I hear from you soon
Sincerely
David
