Acquiring Power in the Mightiness of God’s Strength By Derrick Gordon As a child my mother made learning biblical scripture fun and enjoyable. As I grew older, however, many of those lessons became more or less practical. Gradually, I found myself envisioning things in a perfect but unrealistic form. In essence, my world view was: I live in an increasingly darkening world. But my person view remained firm. I am a light of this world. “As the children of light glory in the light/so do the chil...

Actually Innocent On December 31, 1998, I was arrested and held in custody at the Seminole County Jail in Sanford, Florida pending criminal charges after an incident which allegedly occurred on December 28, 1998. Subsequently, the state of Florida, through its Assistant State Attorney, filed information with the clerk of the court in the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit on February 2, 1999. Then an arraignment was held on February 4, 1999, and I pleaded not guilty to the charge of robbery. And on ...

7/5/18 Aramark Food Corporation Scandal On May 29, 2018, I sent the Aramark Food Corporation a five (5) page notarized affidavit regarding a possible malfeasance (wrong-doing) regarding their services within the MDOC (Michigan Department of Corrections). Between 2009 and 2015, I grieved and sued the Aramark Corporation regarding my kosher diet and the inappropriate preparing of that diet, however, I never complained about the food, quality of the food or taste, only the repetitiveness and tem...

I am a victim of rape, however, out of shame and embarrassment, I never told anyone. Instead, I self-medicated. In other words, I became a drug addict. Drugs took me for a real ride. They were a "killer in a thriller". 1987-1988 - brain surgery-- mentally ill w/ seizures 1988-1992 - prison 1992-1994 - drugs---->left f...

Can the MDOC Be Fixed? No, this is not a trick question, however, the state of Michigan will never know the answer. The reason why is because its not that the Michigan Department of Corrections cannot be fixed. It is because of what it will take to fix it. Consider Structure The MDOC needs to be more structured. No one is on the same page. Most of their own policies and operating procedures are personally interpreted as the interpreter wants to interpret it. If another staff member says “That...

7/1/18 Is It a Cost or Profit Center? There is no precise figure for the cost of housing someone in a Michigan prison. The cost vary depending upon the security level, health care needs, programming needs, etc. One of the latest figures I have seen is $38,809.00 per year for a Michigan prisoner. (Some families do not earn this amount per year). Corrections cost the state of Michigan $2 billion per year. There is no way to view that as a profit center. It cost tax payers mightily. The fact tha...

MDOC Health Care 6/30/18 Besides the money, I always had this belief that the reason any person that chose to be a nurse, doctor or be in any part of the medical field was because of the level of compassion, care and love they had for people. I was wrong, not completely wrong, however, wrong. I admit, I have met several people in the medical field that not only have a great level of compassion, care and love for people, but also a great attitude. This is not true regarding the "medical s...

Money Over Matter M.O.M. What is the MDOC and some of its "Clip-on-Agencies" really about? Let's find out. Health Care: Empirical evidence suggest that MDOC Health Care exist, in part, because it is a requirement. Although health care provides services, these services are so egregious that it cannot actually be called treatment. Health Care is not an intervention or prevention type service. Matter of fact, Health Care alleges that everything pertaining to prisoners is about cos...

For example, it host numerous types of prisoners, most of who are not mentally ill only pretending to be for the salaciousness of their own selfish desires. THE acronyms I have attached to R.T.P. are some of the components RTP host. For example, the first acronym "PC", stands for Protective Custody, followed by “SA” for Substan...

Prisoners: (Only applies to what I have witnessed) Besides the yearly cost to house prisoners, prisoners waste a lot of money in regards to supplies. This waste occurs, in part, because the MDOC lacks a) accountability; b) responsibility; and c) structure. For example, prisoners are not responsible for buying their own toilet ...

The Testimony of a Desolate Soul... By Derrick A. Gordon Finally, I have conquered this demon of oppression. The monster that fed on my fear for so long. It grew inside me and drove me mad. I was tired, but it still oppressed me. And with no keen sense of direction I ran aimlessly toward my destination. Hell and destruction awaited. No one ever asked whether I needed comfort in my time of crises and shame. Twenty (20) years of sorrow, of being defamed. I never really found courage to confront...
