37 by Danny Cherry 37 by Danny Cherry pg. 1 My thirty-seventh birthday – February 18, 2020 – had been quite memorable; All things considered. The goddess Audrey Hepburn and I had eaten "Breakfast at Tiffany's" five days before. The pass I received on my birthday to the infirmary provided an opportunity for me to promote my work published in the Archive. The dentist entered urgent care just as I was exiting. "Did you enjoy reading the piece I gave you sir?" He had made...

Graham © October 11, 2017 Since this addendum is composed from the perspective of a correctional client versus that of a correctional official, little attention has been paid to traditional penal models. Instead, most of the focus is upon conveying the actual experience of incarceration itself, with as much objectivity as poss...

A Pollyana in the Penitentiary by Danny Cherry As I sat reading Executive Regional Director Michael Osburn's response, I just shook my head and chuckled. I was way beyond the point of disgust given all that had happened up until that point. Writing the commissioner had always proven itself to be an exercise in futility, however, my conscious reasoning would never allow me to rest unless I dissented from the recidivistic conditioning of the Indiana State Reformatory. Initially, I became d...

A Cesspool Full of Drecks by Danny Cherry As I lay there in excruciating agony caused by the severe infection that had resulted from my untreated burns, I tried very hard not to cry. My salted tears only exacerbated the wounds on the left side of my face. The pain was crippling; it paralyzed me. My wounds bled profusely and oozed puss incessantly. My sheet and blanket were ruined -- stained with the essence of my tortured being. I wondered how much more that my body could bear before it yield...

A Confined Reflection I am someone you never knew existed. How is that so, you question? Well, because I've been raised in a place that's the equivalent to Hates. The place where all the 'bad' people get sent to... yep, that place. How did I come about to be raise there? Not, because I was birthed badly, nor were my surroundings such, though, it was. There are many who've come from far worse situations and made good. So I will not provide some sort of excuse as to why...

Donald D. Hairgrove Alabama A Day in Life Doing time in prison is more than a falling away of the days into months, months into years and years into decades. 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 Peek on The Inside There is the common predisposed outlook of prison and life in prison by the public. It becomes ingrained by the movies and tv shows, and its glorified by the music and those who use prison for "street credit." Prison is a lot of things. But 1 thing that prison isn't is fun. This is a system meant to reform, but designed to destruct. And the worst part is that its self-perpetual. To the unfortunate individual who find themselves in this system, we come to re...

A Practical Approach to Prison Reform As we progress further into the twenty-first century, one thing is clear: serious changes need to be made to the American prison system. America has become a society with the highest incarceration rate of any nation in the world. And with well over two million men and women in America's prisons, there are more people incarcerated in the United States than any other country. In an age of record budget deficits and massive national debt, it would appea...

The exasperating taste of my world, devoid of any emotional nourishment, is gradually overpowering. Bleak and colorless walls; insipid, disgusting meals and phlegmatic, time-worn daily routines stacked upon unacceptab...

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...

I truley believe when the need for somekind of meaningful human contact become's an impossibility, a soul ca...

What is hardest to swallow is that I'll most likely spend the rest of my life in a cell for a crime I didn't commit. I haven't been able to find the strength to make a deal wit...
