- "Isolation Incarceration" When I went to prison on a petty theft with a prior charge I was emotionally scared. It was the year 2000 and I was a young black prodigy trapped behind bars. Sent to Donovan State Prison which was a scary place because the facility known for assaults, fights, and acts of violence among the different races where very common place.

- "State of Brutality" Prisoner abuse is still rampant, despite federal mandates and prisoners' rights activism. Horrific abuse is all too common in American jails and prisons today. Degrading treatment of inmates continues to occur across the country with distressing frequency. Prison is awful, and it's meant to be dehumanizing and isolating. People are coming out so damaged, because it's so damaging to be in prison. Due to me being mentally ill (bi-polar) I have been ...
