Alice Bingner 3744 Dexter Road Ann Arbor, MI 48103 Category: Personal Essay Word Count: 2,246 Corrections: an Exercise in Futility Currently, in the United States, it costs upwards of $50,000,000,000 plus a year to incarcerate more than 2,000,000 men, women and children. And the expense by no means stops there. While 10 percent of prisoners are menaces from whom the public needs protection, the rest would be better served - and so would society - if there were alternative sentencing for non-v...

Descriptions of sources of stress, and ways of coping. Where can I start about the sources of stress in here? There are so many forms of stress from the guards screaming at the top of their lungs to your family not being able to come to see you because they were 2 minutes late for the check in. That is complete bullshit if you ask me especially when your family drives 2 % hours to see you. In fact, there are a few women in here where their family members drive over 7 hours to come and see the...

EMPLOYMENT There are a few jobs that are available to the women here. The paying jobs are two librarians, two computer lab workers, 7 industry workers, then the cook, the baker is paid from each shift, and there are two shifts. Then there are nonpaid jobs which these people receive goodies like drink mix and what not. There are the rest of the kitchen workers that are not paid. I believe that there are 3 to 4 people in the kitchen who isn't paid. In addition, a floor crew does the floors...

Focus on Your Life By jennifer Anderson sunset is such a beautiful and amazing thing to watch. I get lost in the magic of the stunning colors streaking across the sky. As it sets down past the razor-wire and I hear the guards shout to corral us all back inside for the night, I snap back to reality. The smile melts from my face as I remember where I am. I am in a Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas. Entering the tremendously loud unit, which houses two hundred twenty—five girls/women, a diverse...

No Excuses. Reasons. Today is reminding me of the day that Laura killed herself. Almost exactly three years ago on a frigid January evening so much like this one. I didn't know that she was dangling from a sheet tied around the smoke alarm in her cell as I stood outside and stared at the trees and sky beyond the perimeter fence. Those first few years I spent an inordinate amount of time staring past the fence. I was so cold, burrowed down into layers of cheap clothing. Thermal underwear,...

The Redemptive Power of Yoga Redeem: to regain possession; to pay off; to turn in and receive something in exchange; to fulfill: to rescue or ransom; to make up for. In 2009 an experience transformed me from casual practitioner to fully committed yogi.’ It was the Summer Solstice in the heart of Manhattan .at the annual Yoga in Times Square event. Several thousand miles from my home on the west coast, the allure of finding peace in the midst of madness had a deeply personal meaning at this stag...

Shannon Guess Richardson Unlike some inmates who expect prison to be the Ritz Carlton, I understand where I am and my expectations are extremely limited. One of the things I do expect, however, is to eat bug-free food in a sanitary setting. Working in the kitchen at FMC Carswell opened my eyes to new horrors I was not previously aware of. There are so many roaches in the kitchen, there is no hope of controlling the situation, short of fumigation - which Food Service Manager Mr. Simpson refuse...
