Michael Arreyene S.V.S.P. California A Bad Year Any year in prison could be considered a bad year, but for me the past year has been a bad year. Although it is far from the worst because things could always be worse, for instance I probably could not be able to write these thoughts or even be around. By no means do I intend to be morbid, but as we all view the best/worse case scenario this is mine. My bad year began in August 2014 and it came out of nowhere and knocked me out like a suckerpun...

A Book Review of Writing My wrongs: Life, Death, and Redemption in an American Prison by Shaka Senghor by Zachary A. Smith I read this book after another prisoner received it as a gift from his mother. The first thing that stood out to me was Shaka Senghor's (aka James White) claim that out of respect for the victims‘ family and their privacy, he changed the name of the man he killed. If Shaka truly wantefi to show respect for the man he killed, wouldn't he have honored it insteafi of...

A Confined Reflection I am someone you never knew existed. How is that so, you question? Well, because I've been raised in a place that's the equivalent to Hates. The place where all the 'bad' people get sent to... yep, that place. How did I come about to be raise there? Not, because I was birthed badly, nor were my surroundings such, though, it was. There are many who've come from far worse situations and made good. So I will not provide some sort of excuse as to why...

You have my permission to post it. A few thoughts about the cell The cell... for some, it is a taste of hell — where single day is an eternity to dwell But as for me, when I’m in the cell a sweet serenity upon my heart it spells my doubt and uncertainty it quells my fear dispels — amidst the noise, ...

A Man Died Today By Kenneth M. Key It was about 12:00pm when I saw the EMTs run pass my cell house window to the adjacent cell house. The sound over the radio said, a man was down code 3 medical emergency. It would be less than a minute and a half and the E.M.Ts' would be walking back past. The word would come down he didn't make it. I would learn later in that day that it was a Friend of mine, whom we will simply call my Friend. They said my Friend had died of a heart attack, and a...

Many people in society use the word for different reasons and purposes. The core purpose of rehabilitation is to restore a person to a state of good health and a normal life reversing their current condition. How each individual gets to that state is often complex. What works for one individual may not necessarily work for another. Irrespective of how a person...

An Irrepairable Mind?

To whom can it be said to have an "irrepairable mind"? Is it the "criminal" who at a young age imitated some of his T.V./movie star idols - by finding a gun - and shooting a person and now sits in prison for life? Is it the person who robbed a bank? Invaded a home? ...

ANOTHER INEFFECTIVE PRISON REFORM PLAN I recently read an article in The Kansas City Call concerning the plan to spend $296 million to reduce Missouri prison overcrowding.

Missourians deserve better and would be better served by spending $485 million for two new prisons. Missouri lawmakers have a responsibility to pass legislation that best serves the...

BOOK REVIEW: ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK I recently read "Orange Is The New Black" by Piper Kerman. I didn't get why it was a #1 New York Times best-seller.

I did find Piper's author photo intriguing, like the Mona Lisa. I can't read her expression, but it's familiar ...

COVID-19 Is Mean But the Immune System Is Meaner After a miserable summer without air conditioning, at Western Missouri Correctional Center (WMCC), the fall came, which was a welcomed reprieve from the smoldering summer heat.

I didn't know what to expect, since I had just transferred to WMCC from Crossroads Correctional Center (CRCC) after an incident May 12, 2019, where fifty or more offenders...

Crime Pays “Great robbers punish little ones to keep them in their obedience; but the great ones are rewarded with laurels and triumphs, because they are too big for the weak hands of justice in this world, and have the power in their own possession which should punish offenders.” (John Locke) Have you ever heard that saying, “Crime doesn’t pay”?
