37 by Danny Cherry 37 by Danny Cherry pg. 1 My thirty-seventh birthday – February 18, 2020 – had been quite memorable; All things considered. The goddess Audrey Hepburn and I had eaten "Breakfast at Tiffany's" five days before. The pass I received on my birthday to the infirmary provided an opportunity for me to promote my work published in the Archive. The dentist entered urgent care just as I was exiting. "Did you enjoy reading the piece I gave you sir?" He had made...

Graham © October 11, 2017 Since this addendum is composed from the perspective of a correctional client versus that of a correctional official, little attention has been paid to traditional penal models. Instead, most of the focus is upon conveying the actual experience of incarceration itself, with as much objectivity as poss...

A Pollyana in the Penitentiary by Danny Cherry As I sat reading Executive Regional Director Michael Osburn's response, I just shook my head and chuckled. I was way beyond the point of disgust given all that had happened up until that point. Writing the commissioner had always proven itself to be an exercise in futility, however, my conscious reasoning would never allow me to rest unless I dissented from the recidivistic conditioning of the Indiana State Reformatory. Initially, I became d...

A Cesspool Full of Drecks by Danny Cherry As I lay there in excruciating agony caused by the severe infection that had resulted from my untreated burns, I tried very hard not to cry. My salted tears only exacerbated the wounds on the left side of my face. The pain was crippling; it paralyzed me. My wounds bled profusely and oozed puss incessantly. My sheet and blanket were ruined -- stained with the essence of my tortured being. I wondered how much more that my body could bear before it yield...

A Confined Reflection I am someone you never knew existed. How is that so, you question? Well, because I've been raised in a place that's the equivalent to Hates. The place where all the 'bad' people get sent to... yep, that place. How did I come about to be raise there? Not, because I was birthed badly, nor were my surroundings such, though, it was. There are many who've come from far worse situations and made good. So I will not provide some sort of excuse as to why...

No alternative it seem is made to those of us who need to vent that we truely fear for the 1st time. This fear is spoken in the confessional booth aka the vent that connects our vents. I express them when APWA gives my body a voice and a chance to ask for help. The world should see thi...

A Peek on The Inside There is the common predisposed outlook of prison and life in prison by the public. It becomes ingrained by the movies and tv shows, and its glorified by the music and those who use prison for "street credit." Prison is a lot of things. But 1 thing that prison isn't is fun. This is a system meant to reform, but designed to destruct. And the worst part is that its self-perpetual. To the unfortunate individual who find themselves in this system, we come to re...

A WEEKEND IN THE HILLS by Vance Phillips The first time I went to prison . . . I was twenty-one and serving several sentences for a smorgasbord of petty crimes. I had been sentenced to a little over a year for larceny of a person, possession of a stolen firearm, possession with intent to sell marijuana, and taking the police on a high-speed chase. A Sheriff ’s Deputy drove me to Polk Youth Center, one of three North Carolina youth prisons. The prison was far out in the boondocks, miles away fr...

I would not have cared too much if the surrounding offenders had elected to blast symphonies, but they had chosen to broadcast toxic rap songs that promoted illegal drug distribution, illegal drug use, violence and sexual promisc...

Although I was exceeding poor, I still made financial sacrifices in order to positively maintain my intellectual and emotional health. Pendleton's staff's refusal, for well over three months, to send money that I had tr...

As I sit in my cage I wonder when they came up with the idea for this cage were they thinking of animals or human? I feel as if I'm in a chicken coop or a mini walk in closet without the clothes. There is a twin size iron bed mounted to the walls, it takes up half the walking room so you have as much as a door way space to living cycle. All the way at the back of the cell is a toilet with a sink connected. Today is just like any day bored with nothing to do besides think about the things...

At What Point- Freedom? There is no doubt whatever the most prevalent thought on my mind is freedom. Not a day goes by that I don't long for the chance to use my skills to give back when I once took so much. There are even times when I still cry from the karmic pain of the life I lost for the life I took. All my mistakes led me to the root of my folly: I did not understand the meaning of freedom. Certainly, I had a rudimentary knowledge of the concept of freedom from a young age, but it ...

The equilibrium of love and lust I felt for them was a by-product of my loneliness -- great solace came whenever I saw or though of sexually clandestined escapes with those forbidden lovers. Cruel despots -- the most handsome men I had ever seen, consumed me in my moments of despair;...
