A da in the SHU I awake this morning to my pitiful predicament. The instant my eyes popped open I shuddered from the reality of harsh environment. Suddenly I stood and move to the center of the of the cell to perform a simple test. Sure enough standing in the [modd?] middle I was able to touch opposent walls with outstretched arms. The cell was about about eight by five. Five feet wide and eight feet long. A cement box smaller than the size of a home bath room. The cement walls, floors, and c...

A MAJOR HANG-UP Ilve spent 22 years in maximum security facilities where the culture has a texture unique to that environment. Extremes are embraced when moderation would prove the more productive path. Violence, dominance and emasculation are the languages which most cons come to believe that they must be fluent in to communicate our strength and declare our manhood. I've been here in New Lisbon, a medium security facility for 2 years now. It's not nearly as yiolent as max because ...

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....

"Benevolence" As I sit here contemplating what I would like to share with the masses, I'm left reflecting on years past. Some ask how I've been able to sustain my mental stability in such dismay times. As one must imagine life in captivity and the bellicosity this environment brings can cause a person to feel indifferent from humanity and civility. Prison tends to remove those simply human attributes and instead replace them with an abysmal, diabolic, malicious nature, ess...

Change is difficult Change is difficult. Growth is difficult. Real growth necessitates exploring and challenging my thoughts, feelings, beliefs, values, morals, and behaviors. Likewise, it includes taking a critical stance towards my environment. This is my life, everything in it is personal, intimate, and immersed in who I am. I cannot compartmentalize my life to such an exact that nothing touches my core. This is unhealthy, and illogical. I must, however, learn to develop a meaningful ratio...

Jevon Jackson #299078 Page 1 of 4 DOES PRISON MAKE PEOPLE WORSE? (The Education Question) What my 20+ years of imprisonment has taught me is that prison is a cruel, neurotic tiger that is bent on destroying you. This animal, this beast that I live in, thrives on the illogical and irrational impulses of it's wavering political objectives. For one election cycle it's Let'sGet-Tough-On-Crime, with the end result being prison overcrowding and shortages on basic resources (such as e...

What I wish to explain to you, are the factors that have been left unclarified, and what has succeeded since the ordeal. The Federal Bureau of Prisons has a totalitarian attitude towards its prisoners. Unfortunately for the prisoners, guards have been brainwashed and trained that they must never negotiate, or relent with their or...

All inmates who are placed on C-grade status are housed on one unit which holds them altogether regardless if inmates are known to not be around certain other inmates in the institution. These C-graders are not allowed any electronics as they are confiscated for the duration of their C-grade stat...

"How Long-Term Incarceration Effected Me As A Juvenile" By! Lasan Bellamy #250213 There's a saying, "in aggressive behavior there is a form of compensation for feelings of inadequacy." To feel inadequate is a hurtful feeling in itself. It leaves many of us who are stuck in an immature childlike mindstate to act out negatively. For with intelligence we know how to address our problems properly to achieve our desired outcome; but yet, since we lack understanding, we act...
