(Prea) Another Program Appointed By DPS (As-Is) Could you believe our prison system is so badly organized and also shows just how much our corrupt prison officers, medical staff & leaders, and even the office personal in Raleigh who runs this state (N.C) Prison System now called Department of Public Safety. (What a Joke) Hi. I'm Mack Litteral I'm here to share information un-edited by any prison or state official. I've been a writer & artist only two years and some. But...

28 Days From Nirvana By George Kayer My condition is so rare, on the North American continent less than 3,400 people are stricken by it. The population of this continent: home to Canada, Mexico and the U.S.A. is estimated at half a billion people . Through government reports, we know it's found in only 36 areas in the United States. The mortality rate is 40% to 93% depending on a state's resources and its government's willingness to aggressively combat this rare condition. Rega...

4 year old nephew travels across the state to visit, but is denied by prison staff About a month or so ago I made arrangements with my family about when they would visit me. I was excited to meet my 4-year old nephew named Carter for the first time ever, as well as my 6 year old nephew Keegan. I needed to get my 4-year old nephew Carter on my visit list so my parents, who were traveling across the state of South Dakota to visit me with him could get in to see me. I contacted the Unit Coordina...

Peter Mehmel A Hidden Cost The eve of my son’s fifth birthday seemed especially cruel. I’m sure he woke up excited and happy to celebrate his special day, only to find that his father was gone. I can’t imagine how my wife, six months pregnant with our daughter, managed to find the words to tell him. The party arrangements were done, the cake safely stashed, we’d confirmed who would attend and even had a few bucks left over. That evening friends were playing in a band at a local bar. Maybe eve...

American Prison Writing Archive: A Murder Victim Speaks A Murder Victim Speaks: (The Truth in the Age of "Me Too") I am a murder victim... I have often said that Paul Harvey was right. I maintain that to this day. 'If you want to see the worst that society has to offer humanity sit outside a prison at shift change'. No one is more corrupt, no one is more criminal than those folks you'll see exiting or entering the facility with badges on their chests. You won't b...

A Tour Through The Circles of Hell By Patrick O'Shea Correction office David Hale was horrified by the barbaric and brutal actions of his fellow officers. "I can't describe it to you --I've never seen beatings like that," he recalled. "At least 50 guys got it, maybe more. I seen them carry one inmate down the hall with a guard on each leg and one on each arm. The assistant warden comes down the hall and grabs the inmate's testicles and starts yanking on them...

A World With No Sky How much pain can the heart take before it turns to glass, cracks and turns to heart break? Alone I sit in my cell staring off or counting the bricks that make it up, each one a mistake I've made in my life that I wish I could undo. But like my cell, my mistakes are set in stone. What is hardest to swallow is that I'll most likely spend the rest of my life in a cell for a crime I didn't commit. I haven't been able to find the strength to make a deal wit...

July 22, 2018 Robert John Richter For APWA Abused again Yet again, within only one day of being questioned by a senior OSI PREA investigator, I have been subjected to sexual abuse, staff voyeurism, inflicted upon me in order to intimidate, humiliate, and degrade me. The excuse, again, was an outside trip for an OMH (psych) appointment. This was just a cover. This isn't the only retaliation I have suffered. On July 2, OSI PREA investigator Bossman questioned me about my PREA complaints, b...

The most incredible adaptability, exhibited in both anatomical and physiological changes, occur as a resort of our having encountered new stimuli internally and externally. One billion neurons engaging 100 trillion synaptic reactions allow for this plasticity which makes us forever adaptable t...

March 25, 2018 Robert Johan Richter Title: Addicted To Violence Prison is a great place to witness all kinds of addictions, and how far they drive their victims. Prisoners sell their meals for cigarettes, and their bodies for drugs. The most common addiction doesn't involve drugs, porn, or anything you can buy or sell. Many people, both prisoners and guards, are addicted to violence. There is a big difference, however; the guards almost never face any kind of punishment. Why do people li...

January 7, 2019 APWA, All I can think to write about is what its like to be illiterate most of my life, to be abandoned by public defenders and to face a wrongful conviction on only hearsay when real evidence was not allowed. I can't imagine anyone interested in what it took to learn to read and write, the hell I lived through since December 20, 1990. Lets be honest, people are always too willing to believe the worst. I suppose it helps shape the world in their eyes. I still do not belie...

Alone Amidst a Crowd An Essay on Prison Life One of the many ironies faced in prison is the fleeting chance moment of friendship found there. That moment, surprising and most unexpected, comes onto the yard and into your cell, your life, so very suddenly that you are left feeling incredulous at it's happening. It comes about usually at the discretion of the guards, who have decided to move a person for concerns of safety or convenience. You have left your cell to go to yard for your dail...

An Almost Love Story When Olivia Martin moved into the PC unit, she could have passed for a woman: five feet nine, slender, with smooth brown skin and braided black hair, her walk feminine. I received advanced knowledge about Olivia from CO Romer. Romer said she had hormone shots before her incarceration, which accounted for her womanly chest. Somehow she was also able to maintain red lips, though cosmetics were not available in the men’s prisons. That was one of her little secrets. But Olivia...

An Ordeal I'm a prisoner serving consecutive life terms here in Washington State. I'm also a Christian. In the late 1980's another inmate, who was serving Life without the Possibility of Parole, told me about two rape/murders that he'd committed that he'd never been caught for. This inmates name was Michael. I asked him if anyone had been charged or convicted for the crimes. He told me not that he knew of. I thought about what Michael had shared with me. He professed ...

The atmosphere within these walls and within the throats of a thousand silent men, is so thick, that movement h...
