- "Color Blind in the System" As of this writing, I've been incarcerated over 17 years. I've seen and experienced racism on almost every level, and let m tell you – it's surprising and disturbing in the same breath. "Ignorance allied with Power is the most ferocious enemy justice can have." -James Baldwin- On the administrative level, discrimination and racism flows through the system like an unchecked ebola virus. For instance, in the Mich. Dept. of Correctio...

- "Corrections? or Corruption?" Did you know there is no federal constitutional right to rehabilitation? And as a result, whenever there's a so called "budget crisis", educational programming is the first to get x'd out.

- "Surviving the Madness" The clangoring of steel striking steel reverberates down the endless halls as cell doors slam shut. One after another, after another. The hollowed echoes still not enough to drown out the incessent screaming of the residents as neighbors yell at neighbors, and men from the fourth tier holler to those on base. Four levels of endless cells to my left, the same to my right. Unlike the halls and the cells, there is one thing I can see the end of: my future. Welco...
