Peter Mehmel A Hidden Cost The eve of my son’s fifth birthday seemed especially cruel. I’m sure he woke up excited and happy to celebrate his special day, only to find that his father was gone. I can’t imagine how my wife, six months pregnant with our daughter, managed to find the words to tell him. The party arrangements were done, the cake safely stashed, we’d confirmed who would attend and even had a few bucks left over. That evening friends were playing in a band at a local bar. Maybe eve...

My travels into Quebec and Mexico taught me that every street sign, television or radio program, menu, and all product packaging provides a lesson in language.

However, I would rather be remembered as Michael. Though I am now a felon, it wasn’t how my life began. I was the third of eight children...

A Renaissance by Stephen Whetzel Page 1 of 12 It started with a visit to the psychologist. Behind the ominous, gray, concrete wall surrounding the Indiana State Reformatory, not many areas existed where one could go to in order to escape the late summer heat. That old maximum-security prison, a place born of a harsher time, was never known for comforts. Therefore, whether or not I felt the need for a counseling session with Eric, my psychologist and substance abuse counselor, I looked forward...

By now, (10 years into my bid) it doesn't really matter that I didn&apo...

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...
