7My voice through the prison walls By: Inmate Ricky Vincent Pendleton II I think rehabilitation is a propaganda word used by the lawmakers to cover their motives Exploiting the inmates in a business venture. The whole prison industry is a "for profit" industry; from my reading is a billion dollars industry. How am I supposed to cope in here and seeing the corrupt acts of people...? I have to control the things in my life. Rehabilitation is on the individual prisoner, he/she has to d...

Minnesota Experience Qualitative Analysis of Minnesota Department of Corrections Policy Maurece Graham A Minnesota Experience {Excerpted from larger work} By Maurece L. Graham © October 11, 2017 Since this addendum is composed from the perspective of a correctional client versus that of a correctional official, little attention has been paid to traditional penal models. Instead, most of the focus is upon conveying the actual experience of incarceration itself, with as much objectivity as poss...

A Short Treatise on Reality By Maakneril I.K. Bey © 2015 Within the culture that we, as young Asiatic (so called Black, Brown, Indian, etc.) men in America, now surround and submerge ourselves are a multitude of misconceptions. Amongst the slums and poverty-stricken neighborhoods of every city, town, and/or municipality are, as one example, men who pride themselves on being “real” or “real niggaz”; and this very mentality has not only contributed to the masses of Asiatic men now incarcerated ...

Text (O)
A speed trap in a small Midwestern town, circa 1952. That is how I equate the current state of criminal justice in the United States today. The unsuspecting citizen who explores his options in other states and has little or no roots in the area is easy prey forvictimization by the system. The long-hair, the African American, the female, any outsider, even someone like a young independent boy with sagging trousers and an in-your- face sound system in his car thumping rap music — these are the ...

A Supreme Manifestation of Wisdom by Maakneru [ineligible] Bey @2016 Not long ago I was asked a question that I could not possibly answer without some thought. I don't like to bound myself within the understandings or perceptions of another, so responding with a prefabricated or cliched answer was out of the realm of possibility. As "Maakneru" I try to remain in that reality; that is as pure and honest with myself and the spirit within as I could be and thus manifesting the sam...

Essays by Eric Volume One A View From Inside I never expected to be in prison. I felt I was too slick. I thought I was too smart, too educated, too worldly to let anyone 'trick' me into their 'system'. Sitting here now with a life + ten year sentence, I have plenty of time to contemplate, elucidate and expound on things urbane, sublime and just plain insane as I continue to 'serve' time. By now, (10 years into my bid) it doesn't really matter that I didn&apo...

9/30/2015 Advice for those new to prison By Cedric B. Theus I have been asked many times about how I got through almost twenty years in prison with my mind, body and spirit still in good condition. New prisoners often seek guidance from “veteran prisoners” on how to conduct themselves in order to minimize problems. That is the purpose of this composition. Losing one’s freedom is one of the most traumatic experiences that a normal person can have. It is in the nature of most animals to resist ...

Jon R Morgan IL Age, Nothing But An !DOC# I've been imprisoned since age 14 in 1995. Being a murderer, I've earned it. I'm serving 58yrs and 17yrs at the rate of 50% for good behavior, for a total of 37 1/2yrs, which will make me 52 before my release. And that's a blessing, since the maximum may have been 60yrs and 20yrs--perhaps if l had been a hardened adult, a career criminal, maybe a gang member, drug dealer, or addict. I thank God the judge used his discretion to cons...

Laying here meditating, my mind becomes distracted by the sound of a shank being sharpened in the few cells over. Sound travels clearly from cell to cell through the connecting heat vents. As the feeling of fears untold can be felt through the connected manner with which convicts choose to relate or respond to one another. My na...
