A VIEW FROM THE BOTTOM by Burl N. Corbett The legal profession loves to quote the hoary aphorism "We are a nation of laws" to wheedle the rest of us into sanctioning their self—appointed role as our protector. 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. I had been sentenced to a little over a year for larceny of a person, possession of a stolen firearm, possession with intent to sell marijuana, and taking the police on a high-speed chase. A Sheriff ’s Deputy drove me to Polk Youth Center, one of three North Carolina youth prisons. The prison was far out in the boondocks, miles away fr...

Title: A.D.C. The Beast by Daniel Hagen The Public's "keep them locked up" mentality leads to a distorted view of incarceration and the perceived purpose of an objective correctional system. 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...

Later, they found him and put him in the hole. It was his punishment. Soon the injured person asked for help to the security official and they put him in the hospital for his...

March 25, 2018 Robert Johan Richter Title: Addicted To Violence Prison is a great place to witness all kinds of addictions, and how far they drive their victims. Prisoners sell their meals for cigarettes, and their bodies for drugs. The most common addiction doesn't involve drugs, porn, or anything you can buy or sell. Many people, both prisoners and guards, are addicted to violence. There is a big difference, however; the guards almost never face any kind of punishment. Why do people li...

For two hours, as my Jeep snaked its way through the basaltic mountains of Costa Rica, I had little idea what to expect at each precipit...

What I do know for certain is that things spiraled out of control, and as a result, I found myself fighting for my freedom. Since I lost my bid for freedom, I have continued to fight relentles...
