- From the Ground Up BY Mathew Lucas Ayotte Peer to Peer Mentorship is an integral aspect of humanizing the criminal justice system by encouraging; while at the same time empowering the persons most effected by the experience of incarceration - those who are serving the time.

In this way a person&...

- Product of a Broken System “Prisons are the temples where devils learn to pray. Every time we turn the key we twist the knife of fate, because every time we cage a man we close him in with hate. ” . _ .*Grego_ry David Roberts* How might I articulate the feeling of hearing an account of a man dying by cop suicide‘? Especially since I had had a conversation with that man, now dead, just about a year ago — when in the middle of that conversation his fate would be proclaimed. While discussing the...

- Second Chance Pell Grant Testimony The Second Chance Pell has allowed me to finish something I started twenty years ago. My first college experience was short lived, ending with my expulsion and arrest for crimes alleged. Although I was found not guilty by the University, my focus was diverted and life happens.

- Something Ya’ll Should Know Think of this as a very small eco-system, yeah, like that of a small pond. The point being is that you’re all fish. Little fish. Get over yourselves and realize that regardless of who you think you are, you aren’t that — not even close. You see, Americans in general have the tendency to overestimate their abilities, it’s common knowledge. The problem with this is a persistence to ascribe value where it does not belong and neglect to give credit where credit is due....

- There are many types of torture, Ways to twist, pain, alienate, and cause despair Even the tantalizing expectation of some yearning fulfilled This, too, could and indeed can be called torture — Yet, it is the depravity, the withholding, and infringement Of acts done out of malice, intentional and knowingly Evoking hurt, agony, anguish, imparting helplessness Via dominance, oppression, suppression, isolation, fear - Emotional, mental, and physical degrees of degradation Some impacting an indiv...

- Who’s Paying for Maine’s New Prison? At present a new prison is being built in Windham, Maine — right next to and on top of the old Maine Correctional Center. True, legislation approved funding for “add-ons” and “improvements”, but not money for a new prison? Former Governor LePage and former Commissioner Fitzpatrick created real numbers in a manipulative scheme to fool the taxpayers and the Legislators as to the need for such funds - by way of a bait and switch. The details would probably sh...
