Report from prison where Jeff had to be restrained

Article around Joyce visiting Jeff after he had passed away

[dahmerrealm]

Very detailed article around the day Jeff was killed as well as some prison anecdotes. Autopsy pics included just as a warning

Very interesting article around how Jeff behaved in prison including nicknames he had for some of the prison guards.

The fact that most of the nicknames for the prison guards are cartoon characters highlights the childlike behaviour of Jeff, as well as most of his other behaviour mentioned here like colouring on his face, etc.

Also included a letter that he wrote to a male pal referencing the disciplinary unit he was placed in

Articles around Joyce’s reaction to Jeff’s death. The rainbow he wrote about is most likely the same rainbow he mentioned in his letters to Mary and Barbara. Letters transcribed below 🌈

My dearest Barbara,

Hello, and how is my special and most beautiful friend? Thanks so much for your card! I hope that things are still going well for you at school. Did you know that my cell has “jumping” spiders in it? I killed one two nights ago. I don’t like them because I’m afraid that one will crawl into my ear, or up my nose while I’m sleeping. Oh well, soon winter will be here, and I won’t have to worry about creepy insects anymore. The judge still hasn’t decided about my garnishment. This is the second time that he said he would decide by a certain date, and then changed his mind. You can’t even trust the judges to stick by their words these days! But at least the prison has let me buy from the canteen each week again. It’s nice to be able to buy stamps, coffee, and cigarettes each week like the other inmates. I’ve finally been able to pay back the other inmates too. It was raining for most of the day yesterday. It finally stopped around six pm and I looked out my window and saw this huge solid pink rainbow! I’ve never seen a pink rainbow before. Barbra I love you, and I keep you in my thoughts and prayers! All my love & many hugs, Jeff

My dearest Mary,

Hello and how is my most beautiful and lovely friend, my exotic summer orchid? Thanks so much for continuing to write to me while I’ve been unable to. The cards that you’ve picked out are just great! How has everything been going at home? Have you been on any more interesting adventures, or are you just relaxing? I’m wishing you a belated “sweetest” day, because you are the sweetest! The judge still hasn’t decided about my garnishment. This is the second time that he said he would decide by a certain date, and then changed his mind! You can’t even trust the judges to stand by their words now a days! But at least the prison has started to let me buy from the canteen each week now. It’s nice to be able to get a steady supply of stamps, coffee, and cigarettes each week again! Finally been able to lay back the other inmates. Mary did you know that I have “jumping” spiders in my cell? I killed one two nights ago. I don’t like them because I’m afraid that one will crawl in my ear or up my nose while I’m sleeping! It was raining for most of the day, but it finally stopped by six pm. I looked out my window and I was surprised to see a huge solid pink rainbow! I’ve never seen a pink rainbow before! You really do know how to make a guy feel good! I cherish you, and I’m keeping you in my thoughts and prayers! All my love & many hugs Jeff

Article around the money Jeff was getting from Pen pals, particularly Debbie Watson, as well as letters Jeff wrote to Lionel and Shari clarifying why he was solidifying a relationship with Debbie (so he could continue to benefit from the money she sent)

[dahmerrealm]

Article around what Jeff’s behaviour was like in prison

Some interesting tidbits here, is that the unit Jeff was placed in was for people with severe mental health issues, developmental delays, and physical handicaps, so that gives an idea of what Jeff’s fellow inmates were like.

Also interesting is that Jeff’s lawyer was sending Jeff postcards of topless men 🙈

On this date in 1991, Jeffrey Dahmer was arrested

Article around why some people wrote to Jeff, as well as his contribution to the Hilary unleashed magazine. Thats not Jeff’s artwork on the cover, thats what the magazine looked like, Jeff’s contribution was never made public. The magazine was produced in Clearwater Florida, which is where I was born coincidentally ☀️
