appeal to families to help incarcerated individuals take measures to leave prison
Text (FT)
- Seventeen years ago, I arrived in Angola. I was assigned bed 43, next to an aging, frail prisoner who had been incarcerated longer than the 23 years I had been living. One day he said to me, "Youngsta, if you have family, don't waste their time and resources on bullshit. Doing time in prison is not for any one." Basically, he was telling me to use my family for one purpose: to assist in my struggles to regain freedom. In order to do so, I had to educate myself to educate my f...

Afl INSIDER'S TAKE ON THE CRACK/POWDER DISPARITY To start, I would be remiss not to mention my qualifications to speak on this subject of cocaine sentencing. I became involved in the Los Angeles drug trade in its infancy, during the mid 80s, initially, to support myself in college. Once my stature progressed, I quickly left school behind. I continued in this field until 1994, when fellow drug dealers collaborated with ‘others’ [authorities] to put me on California's death row, from w...

Analytical Thinking in College Football 
 Frederick Mason [ID] USP Tucson PO Box 24550 Tucson, AZ 85734 
 I have found that when it comes to writing, you have to have an analytical mind if you are going to be unbiased in what you are sharing. I have found that it is wise to take the extra effort to see both sides of the coin when it comes to writing on prison issues. This is important when it comes to writing about prison issues, because oftentimes, people get the idea that when inmates talk ...

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....
