Bednago Harper "A Sporting Chance" Much, much more than just sport and athletics to pass the time, after school activities like football, basketball, and baseball can go a long way in helping to instill responsibility, personal growth and many other life-shaping virtues in young people growing up in troubled areas of inner cities. When a young person knows better, that young person is more likely to do better. Let's just face it. A great many of our young people aren't bei...

A TALE of 2 INJUSTICES By Maurice L. Harris On October 3, 2011, everyone in the U.S. awoke to wall-to-wall Mainstream Media's (MSM) broadcasting of the impending Amanda Knox appellate ruling. At issue, whether she received a fair trial, or not. At stake: freedom, or a possible life in an Italian prison. This was the culmination to over a week of coverage detailing every aspect of the miscarriage perpetrated during Ms. Knox's prosecution. We were inculcated in each misusage of contam...

Essays by Eric Volume One A View From Inside I never expected to be in prison. I felt I was too slick. I thought I was too smart, too educated, too worldly to let anyone 'trick' me into their 'system'. Sitting here now with a life + ten year sentence, I have plenty of time to contemplate, elucidate and expound on things urbane, sublime and just plain insane as I continue to 'serve' time. By now, (10 years into my bid) it doesn't really matter that I didn&apo...

The platitude's bitter truth, however, soon becomes apparent to those accused of a crime when he or she finds themself charged with not only the primary offense, but a slumgullion of barely applicable sister charges, an obnoxious practice of flinging every conceivable all...

A Vision For the Future By Mick Whitlock As the steel door slammed shut behind me, I realized that a new chapter in my life was about to begin. And though the uncertainties about my life and my future seemed enormous, deep in my heart I knew that I would be going to prison. My feelings of helplessness were overwhelming. What the future held for my young family was unclear. As my mind drifted between memories of the past and thoughts of what might have been, feelings of helplessness began to c...

A WEEKEND IN THE HILLS by Vance Phillips The first time I went to prison . . . I was twenty-one and serving several sentences for a smorgasbord of petty crimes.

Anna MI Vanderford OK A Word to the Fish I don't know why they call new arrivals "fish", perhaps because you feel like a fish out of water, when you arrive in prison. My mom was an old Jewish lady, old by even the standard of other parents. She was really old enough to be my grandmother when she and her retired husband adopted me. She used to say ,"You can't put an old head on: young shoulders." I'm not sure that I ever knew what that meant nor cared. Howeve...

The sex offenders situation draws attention to the stagnated state of human sexuality, natures and suppressed sexual instincts whose opportunities in life have been permanently diminished by the loss of rights, morally policed by the same system that the delusionally institutionalized penal...

A.V.P. How can violence be reduced in prison? Well, in my own opinion, the answer is simple: support the "Alternative to Violence Project!" This program, started by Quaker's back in the late 1970's right here at Green Haven Correctional Facility, is one which is now being used to combat the spread and use of violence all over the world. The Alternative to Violence Project (from this point on, to be referred to as A.V.P.) is an interactive workshop, that gives insight to it...
