A Brief Deconstruction of America’s Leviathan INTRODUCTION Recently, I had cause to consider the following two—part question: The goals of criminal punishment include retribution (giving people what they deserve), deterrence (discouraging future crimes), and rehabilitation (improving behavior). What purpose, if any, has your time in prison served? Should any of these purposes be emphasized more? At first, its sophomoric quality invited a dismissive chuckle but a second reading encouraged a mo...

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...

Big Sis, Slim the Wanna-Be, and the Hole Working through the stacks of paperwork on my desk when I’m interrupted by a phone call. “Salomon” I said, into the telephone receiver. A female voice replied, “Yes, I’m calling for Mike, Mike Shaffer.” “And your name is?” I ask. “I’m Mary Shaffer, his sister. I heard he’s in the hole. I want to know if he’s ok. Can he make calls?” Her brother, inmate Shaffer is a 21-year-old inmate, a wanna-be in Pri$neyland, a fresh recruit in the white supremacy gan...

Burning Cross; Motive. Generally the constitution prohibits the loss of liberty without a meaningful opportunity to defend, Jackson v. Virginia, supra, 443 U.S.307,314,99 S.Ct.2781,2786 (1979), while prohibiting the conviction of any person except upon proof of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, In re Winship, 397 U.S.358,90 S.Ct.1068(1970)." Generally. Problem is, Nevada, Utah rather, their justice, courts and juries are skewed to favor the Anglo Saxon social order status quo, the burning...

Crime + Punishment By J. Carr 2-18-12 Saturday The history of crime is one in which perceptions, ideologies, oracles and so on determined just who was felonious, and who wasn't. The punishment, often in misguided ministrations, burgeoned upon a possible criminal act itself? It is easy to sit from without the spectrum of good and evil, and pronounce a penalty for offenses, it is compounded hell to walk the road of [actual?] retribution. Jesus said it best of the executors of purported jus...

Felton L. Matthews Jr. P.O. Box 1989-4A20-ESP Ely, NV 89301 Date: 10-12-2017 "Critiquing Barack Obama: An alternative ObamaCare solution" Do not be misled by the fact that there is or was finally a "colored" president. Who, by the way, did not get assassinated or survived an attempted assassination. I could not vote for Barack Obama because I was behind bars. However, as I reviewed the effects of his presidency, I would have voted for him the first time, but not the second...

Crooks The inmate cook can deftly skim sugar and yeast off the top of a recipe, hide it and take it back to his cell for prison-made alcohol, “pruno.” He can find ways of sifting sugar into a kitchen sink, then recover it when the coast is clear. He can hide a wad of dough in his pants, then take it back to his house for yeast in his brew. The cunning inmate will carefully look over his shoulder, or enlist another inmate as a lookout. He knows making pruno is against the rules, but believes it...

Dahn Shaulis 8250 North Grand Canyon Dr. #1024 Las Vegas, NV 89166 dahnshaulis@netzero.com Death Notification At Northeast State Prison, one-third of the inmates are in prison for life. Many others are in for a long stretch—-two decades or more. Felix Chacon was one of those inmates: in prison for a long time, but possibly not forever. Like most inmates, I didn’t know much about him other than his crime report: a second degree murder, gang-related, requiring at least twenty years in prison. Ch...

It was Friday afternoon. I was working through my paperwork and computer entries when I heard the steel door crash. An inmate ran into the activity room below my office. A young Black man, with blue jeans so big he had to hold them up while he walked. He fumbled with a large full garbage bag, which I found out later, was everything he owned. The young inmate anxiously looked out the thin window in the room, then rushed to my second floor office door I called the control officer and asked what th...

Essay: Number 2 For Blacks and Latinos... Is Incarceration the New Modern Day Slavery for People of Color? In the 1800s slavery was big business for the United States of America, until the Civil War emerged. During the early 1700s, a slave trader from the southern cotton plantations of America was able to step off any boat into the hot continent of West Africa, and communicate with a village chief leader about - the buying and selling of blacks for profit - prior to the American Civil War. Th...

Dahn Shaulis Nevada Let the Side Show Begin Late morning in the cell block. I'm in my office with the bottomless pile of paperwork, scribbling responses to requests for information. The inmates have been served lunch. The food slots on the cell doors are closed, locked. The rotunda lights are turned off. When I walk onto the tier again, and pass by the cells, I smell corndogs. Many of the cells, inmate ”houses,” appear dark. Many cover their cell windows with towels, insulating themselve...

No Need to Know The embarrassing and enlightening lessons of prison work build over years. But most prison workers are so caught up in the day-to-day, so lazy, incurious, or afraid, they miss the bigger dramas. Some have been burned for doing more than the minimum. Caseworker White tells me, “I used to be interested in what was going on, but that just increases your work. You still get paid the same.” Others are unwitting dupes, victims of lies and secrets. At Eureka max, S/CO Romer told me “...

It’s Denzin. He’s an Anglo inmate in his early 20’s, with a thin mustache and goutee, a member of a local Latino gang, the Macho Lokos. I only know him because of his gang affiliation and because I had recently seen him for his six-month classification review. His fellow gang members, his homies, cal...
