Text (TR_WF): Dear Readers, Many of you wonder how the inside of a prison facility is. Maybe many of you guys have an idea. Which is made up of experiences from a male that was incarcerated. 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...

Title: I am advocating for me

Pages: 2 pages
Text (TR_WF): No Title Dear APWA: I am advocating for me and the women imprisoned in TDCJ-Texas Prisons. We are women that would like to see "Rehabilitative Programs" for first 1st time offenders such as ourselves. We are not given an opportunity, because the state labels us "aggravated" charges - so we do not get any kind of help, rehabilitation, advocacy or opportunity. We are not allowed to receive any type of significant or recognizable constructive programs to help us get a time re...

Title: It wasn't long ago that I found myself
Author: Rosado, Enysia
Pages: 3 pages
Text (TR_WF): It wasn't long ago that I found myself in a compromising situation as a "inmate" at York Correctional Institution, in Niantic, Connecticut. I put great emphasis on "inmate", because it seems that is all we are to those employed through out the facility. Although we are distinguished by numbers while incarcerated, we must remember we are so much more! Daily, many of us become victims of psychological abuse by staff. "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words...

Pages: 1 page
Text (TR_WF): The Gift of Freedom for Texas children of the Incarcerated Dear APWA: Texas continues to deny 1st time aggravated offenders the opportunity at parole. The prejudistic state laws fail us to one day have the chance of being re-united with our family. Meanwhile, Texas prisons get overcrowded by the day. The system (prisons) are stagnet with so many parole denials. But this is true mainly in women prisons. Our children being raised by family members, by strangers, by older siblings. It's the...

Pages: 3 pages
Text (TR_WF): 1 of 3 Underneath "What happens behind closed doors..." York Correctional Institution is the only female prison in the State of Connecticut. "A world within a world," some say. The world that doesn't publicize it's misfortunes and tragedies. It's not the only place that keeps deep, dark and dreary secrets. Enclosed, behind the wired fences are women with a beating heart and story they're dying to share. How do you respond to a "Hi, how are you?&quo...

Text (TR_WF): Works of Art Delusional Imprisonment 1. "Incarceration changed my life", I uttered to the immaculate soul sitting across from me. In this very audible, dull and dingy looking room sat my biggest supporter, my mom. In August, 2017, I was unaware that I would be embarking on a long, lonesome and drawn out journey as a State of Connecticut, Department of Corrections inmate. I was welcomed by illiterate jail house lawyers, the smell of body odor, vomit and unpleasing Correctional Office...
