A World With No Sky How much pain can the heart take before it turns to glass, cracks and turns to heart break? Alone I sit in my cell staring off or counting the bricks that make it up, each one a mistake I've made in my life that I wish I could undo. But like my cell, my mistakes are set in stone.

Prison officials encourage such behavior, by deliberately playing into, and empowering the gallimaufry hustles. This is not even considering that prisons are nothing more than a typical bureaucratic boondoggle, played out on the uninformed and apathetic citizens, of the State....

He’s a bit downcast with a caption that reads, “Sometimes getting out of bed just ruins the whole day!” I get that. Every night I begin dreaming nearly from the moment my head hits the pillow. Each time I wake during the night I seem to drop back into the same dream right where I left off. In the morning, when the clanging steel doors ...

In the infinite wisdom of the folks who run the Department of Corrections in Indiana they decided some changes were needed. They gave us a year long lockdown. Which meant no commissary, visits, etc. All privileges on the shelf. You did not come out of your cage for anything but a shower. For one year. Ok, brutality is a way of life we understand and we&apos...
