The breakfast list is being taken, and naturally I sign up. Every morning for t...

Title: Behind these walls
Author: Harewood, Ian
Pages: 2 pages
Text (FT): BEHIND THESE WALLS By Ian Harewood Free will is all about choices. In prison you have no free will. Every day, you have to do what someone tells you. You can't wake up in the middle of the night and go for something as simple as ice-cream or a snack. I remember when I had free will growing up. I wish that my choices had been different. As a kid I was always trying to fit in. But back in those days, the dark-skinned guys were the butt of jokes in school, the ones who weren't popular....

Title: I broke the law
Author: James
Pages: 2 pages
Text (TR_WF): I broke the law. And in breaking the law I was aware that I will be sentence to a prison term. What I wasn't aware of in serving that prison term is the constant physical, verbal, and mental abuse. Also the constant racism this is why it is easy to say that the prison system is modern day slavery. I dont want to complain and not take responsibility for my actions. That is not case. The prison system is a cesspool of perpetual negativity. The average prisoner has to be on guard from both ...

Text (TR_WF): September 3rd 2015 Author: Jamar Frank Gilmore Title: The Hearts of Men Every man has a point of no return when it seems to be to much.

Violence is a cycle, violent past, violent communities, violent homes creates more violence. Upon arriving at this prison my life changed dramatically today I am a Christi...

Text (TR_WF): Author: Jamar Frank Gilmore, NY Title: Untitled Reason: Theoretic View Prison is a place of groups, clicks, and clans. Big groups all the way down to micro groups sticking together because they either have the same interest or common goal. However in any group race is a big deal and inside a prison if a group feels that they are not properly represented racially, whether it is a job placement or a place to call their own in the yard, can lead to a catastrophic encounter.

Text (O): WHAT SYSTEM !? Whether society acknowledge it or not, the prison/jail industries are part of the system we call society.
