1969 Nineteen Sixty Nine was the year that everything in my world changed. This was the year that I lost my innocence, my journey into adulthood, the most transformative year of my life; my trip down the “Rabbit Hole,” so to speak. For me, it was the most important year of my life. I was 16 and very seriously trying to be an adult. It wasn’t working out as well as I wanted it to. I was trying to do too much for my age, education and worldly experience. Innocence, once lost, can never be regai...

2020 Election Candidates Need to Address Prison Reform or Go Home To understand just how important prison reform is, consider for a moment that in 2016, a prison in St. Clair had a staggering 249 reported inmate on inmate assaults for just that year. Almost an assault a day according to a New York Times press article. This horrific report can not be ignored and is solid evidence that our prison systems are not meant to excessively incarcerate humans. So it’s lost on me why the 2020 electoral ...

452 Words on Incarceration Prison is a poisoned environment. It leaves no one untouched. It seeps into the pores like mustard gas. It fouls the very air we breathe, polluting it with anger and hatred and bitterness. It creates unseen lesions on our souls, damages our being, eats away at our minds until we have no choice but to shut down all emotion or risk self-destruction. One cannot "care" for another in here, it is a weakness pounced upon by those who prey on misery, a liability ...

We already know the prisons in this country are broken, and we have begun the process of rethinking the idea of what incarceration means, should mean, and will mean in the future. Punishment for the sake of inflicting pain has lost its hold on the public's imagination. And not a moment too soon, because the damage done is extensive. ...

What purpose, if any, has your time in prison served? Should any of these purposes be emphasized more? At first, its sophomoric quality invited a dismissive chuckle but a second reading encouraged a mo...

Part One Do I agree with Freda Adler’s quote that “[ a] crime is anything that a group in power chooses to prohibit”? In the context of our American democracy, Adler’s quote is pretty close to an exact definition of how an act that is perceived to be wrong is codified into a body of penal laws.1 An elected body of legislators, i.e. the “group in power”, determines what public wrongs should be deemed wrong enough to be labeled a crime and, as such, carry along with them punitive measures. When A...

Personal experience on unrelated adventures greatly assisted in my understanding of this text. Many years ago and housed in a four man cell with t...

It's a period of a prisoner's life that disappears into the shadow land of never before known loneliness, dispair and anger. No man is ever prepared to do time in prison, no matter what his background. Once inside he will be in awe by the savagery of the inmates and astounded by the callous and brutal indifference of the prison...

A deaf person would probably welcome it, but I'm sure that it has driven many men mad at its extreme! Noise; all kinds of and all levels and durations. Music is simply noise of another kind to some and not all singing is truly welcome. On an air craft carrier the noise is not just loud in decibels, but nearly constant with launch and recovery operations around the clock. In prison, the noise is both loud and persistent with a little easing of the din in early morning hours. Normally, the...
