Michael Arreyene S.V.S.P. California A Bad Year Any year in prison could be considered a bad year, but for me the past year has been a bad year. Although it is far from the worst because things could always be worse, for instance I probably could not be able to write these thoughts or even be around. By no means do I intend to be morbid, but as we all view the best/worse case scenario this is mine. My bad year began in August 2014 and it came out of nowhere and knocked me out like a suckerpun...

A Book Review of Writing My wrongs: Life, Death, and Redemption in an American Prison by Shaka Senghor by Zachary A. Smith I read this book after another prisoner received it as a gift from his mother. The first thing that stood out to me was Shaka Senghor's (aka James White) claim that out of respect for the victims‘ family and their privacy, he changed the name of the man he killed. If Shaka truly wantefi to show respect for the man he killed, wouldn't he have honored it insteafi of...

A Man Died Today By Kenneth M. Key It was about 12:00pm when I saw the EMTs run pass my cell house window to the adjacent cell house. The sound over the radio said, a man was down code 3 medical emergency. It would be less than a minute and a half and the E.M.Ts' would be walking back past. The word would come down he didn't make it. I would learn later in that day that it was a Friend of mine, whom we will simply call my Friend. They said my Friend had died of a heart attack, and a...

A PRISONERS MANIFESTO ON REHABILITATION BY ABRAHAM HAGOS Rehabilitation. A word commonly used in relation to drug users and prisoners. Many people in society use the word for different reasons and purposes. The core purpose of rehabilitation is to restore a person to a state of good health and a normal life reversing their current condition. How each individual gets to that state is often complex. What works for one individual may not necessarily work for another. Irrespective of how a person...

To whom can it be said to have an "irrepairable mind"? Is it the "criminal" who at a young age imitated some of his T.V./movie star idols - by finding a gun - and shooting a person and now sits in prison for life? Is it the person who robbed a bank? Invaded a home? ...

Let me be frank: the "Justice Reinvestment Initiative Plan" will be a failure and a complete waste of taxpayers‘ hard-earned dollars. Missourians deserve better and would be better served by spending $485 million for two new prisons. Missouri lawmakers have a responsibility to pass legislation that best serves the...

BOOK REVIEW: ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK I recently read "Orange Is The New Black" by Piper Kerman. I didn't get why it was a #1 New York Times best-seller. Maybe it was Piper's honesty that moved people on the outside who have never experienced the hell of being trapped in a situation with no power or control over what happens to them from day to day. I did find Piper's author photo intriguing, like the Mona Lisa. I can't read her expression, but it's familiar ...

Crime Pays “Great robbers punish little ones to keep them in their obedience; but the great ones are rewarded with laurels and triumphs, because they are too big for the weak hands of justice in this world, and have the power in their own possession which should punish offenders.” (John Locke) Have you ever heard that saying, “Crime doesn’t pay”? I’m gonna keep it real with you, that’s a bold face lie; or at the very least a misrepresentation of the truth. I guess though, it applies that crim...

DEATH PENALTY ABUSE (Tool Of War For The Rich And Powerful) The death penalty is a hate crime aimed at the poor of all nationalities. It is a means whereby the rich and powerful intim- idate and terrorize the poor and oppressed to accept their lowly lot in life. The death penalty, often referred to as capital punishment, does not protect the human rights of the innocent and the abused. The opinions of the powerless are ignored by the arrogent powerful.

Deceptive Justice By Jerome Williams, IN We have all heard or recited the United States Pledge of Allegiance, specifically that part which states "with freedom, liberty, and justice for all." I, however, submit to you that this declaration is no more than the line of a master con man. At first glance this argument may appear to be ludicrous at best. However, the truth is quite clear as it has always been present. It has just been suppressed by the continuous indoctrination and veili...

When human beings are subjected to years in solitary confinement and reduced environmental stimulation, their mental health deteriorates and in some cases they develop psychiatric disturbances e.g hallucination, overt p...

Unknown to me at the time (I was in grade school), my mom was using both of those magical powders. Then, one day, after I came home from the third grade, my siblings + I found ...
