A da in the SHU I awake this morning to my pitiful predicament. The instant my eyes popped open I shuddered from the reality of harsh environment. Suddenly I stood and move to the center of the of the cell to perform a simple test. Sure enough standing in the [modd?] middle I was able to touch opposent walls with outstretched arms. The cell was about about eight by five. Five feet wide and eight feet long. A cement box smaller than the size of a home bath room. The cement walls, floors, and c...

A Rebuttal to: "A Day On San Quentin's Death Row" By: James P. Anderson--January 17, 2016 (A/C) Allow me to suggest that readers first visit the, "PACIFICSUN.COM" (January 6-12, 2016) website and review the article, "A Day On San Quentin's Death Row" in order to obtain a perspective for this rebuttal. As a wrongly convicted and actually innocent death row prisoner of over thirty five (35) years, I simply couldn't allow the Pacific Sun article to be...

A TALE of 2 INJUSTICES By Maurice L. Harris On October 3, 2011, everyone in the U.S. awoke to wall-to-wall Mainstream Media's (MSM) broadcasting of the impending Amanda Knox appellate ruling. At issue, whether she received a fair trial, or not. At stake: freedom, or a possible life in an Italian prison. This was the culmination to over a week of coverage detailing every aspect of the miscarriage perpetrated during Ms. Knox's prosecution. We were inculcated in each misusage of contam...

Afl INSIDER'S TAKE ON THE CRACK/POWDER DISPARITY To start, I would be remiss not to mention my qualifications to speak on this subject of cocaine sentencing. I became involved in the Los Angeles drug trade in its infancy, during the mid 80s, initially, to support myself in college. Once my stature progressed, I quickly left school behind. I continued in this field until 1994, when fellow drug dealers collaborated with ‘others’ [authorities] to put me on California's death row, from w...

March 20, 2019 Angry Man [Baby] Syndrome by F. Givens Throughout my years of incarceration, I have sought to gain insight into who I really am. Through my efforts, it is now easier for me to identify many of my character defects, which allows me to correct some defects. As a corollary of self-awareness, I can now recognize traits of my own maladaptive behaviors exhibited in others. Such recognition allows me to have empathy towards these persons. One of the most demonstrative behaviors I have...

Another Day In Calipatria
Life in this California Prison is a test of patience, and control. That is not to say that this writer has much of either, as a Trial Judge once concisely stated. This writer has a temper that's out of control. I do not deny the fact in that what makes my blood boil is the stupidity of petty want to be po...

CALIFORNIA INMATE PAY RATE SCHEDULE One would think that it is well past the time for a increase in prisoner pay rates in the CDCR? I would say yes, however Prisoncrats and Legislators naturally would say no! Never the less, lets examine the facts that over the years have come into play. When one considers the fact that the Department over the past 25 plus years have been authorized in several ways to dig deep into your meager resources and your family and friends wallet! In fact the most sig...
