We often 'think' we can control our future, even when we are swimming 'upstream' against the current. But, whenever we 'clear' our heads, detox our body's, get our 'thinking' back in-order, we start to 'float' along with current of life, effortlessly. 'Black August' gives me time to remind myself, about, my own personal power to gain balance again, re-gain physical, mental and emotional health again. Through fasting it makes me,...

Charles Handlin, A Human Being? by Roger Buehl (10/03/14) Chuck was a large, overly-gregarious man, in his mid-forties. I didn't like Chuck very much. We met on the day of my transfer to SCI-Frackville, following my arrival on the block. He was housed in the adjoining cell, and our cells shared a vent. Within minutes of my arrival on the block, Chuck call ed me through our vent and immediately asked way too many questions. Later, I learned that Chuck was in prison for sex crimes against ...

* CHOICES & ALTERNATIVES By Hr. Tracy Glenn * June 22, 2014 There are many alternatives to the choices I've made of the past. Easily, I made them living the way I lived in another lane that was taught to me. So free, yet so far from reality, it tends to make me sick to my stomach today as I sit & write now. An understanding now that I have where before I make a choice there has to be a moment or some time before I make the choice which leads to the action that could be a fatal on...

COMMUTATION An epidemic is slowly taking root throughout the United States prison system. As of 2010, State and federal prisons house more than 26,000 inmates 65+ years old and nearly five times that number 55 and up. 1 The boom is a direct result of the "get tough on crime legislation from the SO's and 90's. These policies have generally caused the nation's inmate prison population to jump from 330,000 in ~980 to over a million by 1995; a tripling of the population repres...

In fact, many people do whatever they want unless the consequences outweigh the incentives. This is why breaking a law must result in undesirable consequences. In the past, civilized societies enforced their laws and sought to deter crime by providing consequences that would seem brutal today. Offenders could be publicly whipped, put in sto...

Eyes closed, my mind was centered on one thought: what can I use for an ersatz flour to make dough? (Pastelios were in my immediate future.) I was finally away from the stress and madness of prison and safely locked away in my thoughts of food. Cooking is a way for me to both relieve stress and express myself....

FREEDOM THROUGH SPACE . AND SUFFERING By: Arlando "Tray" Jones The most dreadful fate that could befall any man is to be imprisoned. For freedom, through space, is essential to the human spirit. Of all the animals God. created, none requires more space than man. Hell, we tell elephants to get out the jungle because it ain't enough space there for them and us. We, man, need the jun.g le, too, for resort and recreation. Where you see man exploring the heavenly space or the depth ...

I went to prison in 1996 and in my mind it is still 96. There was no internet, no cell phones, cars didn't park themselves. The world that we know was safe from terrorists and 9/11 was unthinkable.

When the head count is messed up, everything stops: offender traffic, movement, phon...
