At REECC I obtained my HSED in 2002. To get into the Office Assistant college course through Gateway Tech, I had to steal a cookie. My being empl...

No Title A professor once asked me if I believed in evolution or history repeating itself. I leaned towards history repeating itself, after all evolution just seems to be the same ole same ole with a few tweaks to make a thing modern. Take the U.S. history for instance, the slave trade and indentured servants are today called prisoners. When the Fore Fathers hammered out the Constitution in that hot sweaty room they had to compromise. The southern states wanted to count their slaves in the po...

However, the deceased no longer have a voice; so I will speak out of respect for the young lady that recently passed away from a drug overdose. At the very moment I sat writing my last essay, there was a young lady in distress. Fighting for the very breath which would become her last before the age of thirty. Right here inside this physical prison. Worse, she was in the ment...

The screams of ignorance and suffering cannot drown out the noise in my head. The burns, bruises, and cuts do not cover the pain. The ringing of keys, a clink and bang; new sounds in the ocean of noise. Chow’s here, preceded by the nauseating smell of rotten food adding to the constant wet smell of mildew. On the e...

Only if you guys knew that our image of being able to smoke, inmates sticking together, food being good, and one thing above all of that is once you get out your time time given to you: you do it and get out. How wrong we were! Not only that it gets so much worse for a female inmate. My name is Maria Elena Magana and I...

12/28/18 End The Suffering “The prison population continues to rise at an alarming rate. And sadly, many of those entering the system for the first time, and repeat offenses alike, suffer from mental illness. Some cases more severe than others; but they are all suffering nonetheless. In reality, sometimes some of the crimes committed are by those with mental illnesses. Unfortunately there is not much help for them out there, and definitely not within the jails or prisons. So when they commit ...

FMWCC might as well have a sign posted outside the facility that says, Welcome Covid-19 and thank you for stopping by". The facility will post "memo's" about everything else except for the truth. It's like this facility is built up off of lies and c/o's, staff and warden and Assistant Wardens, including anyo...
