MR. TARIK AKIM CLARK #P93422 GROW FACILITATOR ECHO~YARD WOW!!!! WHAT A DIFFERENCE A CLASS MAKES. I have been to and also facilitated numerous groups since my incarceration, but I have not seen one impact a prison society as much as I witnessed GROW do. And without seeming prideful, I am very proud to be a part of that process that brought a non-violent change to myself and other inmates at CMC~WEST ECHO FACILITY. At first, I truly believed that my message to the inmates on the yard was fallin...

Dear Reader(s), Greetings from this side of the wall. So far we have yet to feel the full rate of this Covid 19 virus. The worries are real. No free 15 minute phone call can change that I don't want to pick up the phone. No Skype visit can make me feel safe when I have to explain to my love ones why I am inside of a dogs kennel. 5 foot 7 inches I stand. 179 pounds I weigh. A crime I was convicted of, yet do I deserve the description of a animal? I and everybody who resides in north branc...

TARIK AKIM CLARK #P93422 Guilty as charged. I have several 115's since I have been incarcerated, and I am guilty of each and every one of them. My problem back then was that I did not try to not get any 115's when I first came to prison. I had a 25 to Life sentence, I was surrounded by inmates that didn't care, and I was trying to fit in any way possible. I already knew that stabbings, fighting or drugs was something I was not willing to do. I had to mask my fear of being chose...

Haters and Hypocrisy by Danny Cherry The terror I felt when I rose and saw that my mail had been placed on my door’s port was so potent that it quickened me from my somnambulistic trance. I was appalled by the fact that Sergeant Prater had done such an unethical thing. I was even more disgusted that our range detail or anyone who went to med line had not the decency to either have woken me or- at the very least- to have thrown my correspondences on my cell’s floor. Out of my naïveté, I had fo...

Dear reader(s), Hello. Wassup. Greetings. Homage. I must write to the APWA family on a subject that seems taboo in the Prison Industrial Complex. This letter (essay) started off with different forms of introductions because new is not the normal. The viral pandemic is not making it any easier on any of us who are forced to live in the day to day affairs. The taboo subject on which I would like to mention envolves opposites. Up, down. Left, right. Fact, opinion. Inmate, officers. On today of M...

 When I look into the world I see endless opposition but even greater opportunity. Opposition is for everyone while opportunity is for those who take them. For individuals who take opportunities and seek knowledge for the betterment of their positional roles in this world have a greater chance at overcoming the inherent opposition. Living in tall grass aint so bad after all. Once you reach the prison system it obscures the outward goals of Freedom, Success educatio...

- Submission - pg. 1. Wednesday 7-22-2020 "Hope in Humanity" About two months ago, I began receiving mail from pen pals from different states on the streets who unknowingly helped me revive my faith in humanity at a point in my life when I was losing hope in humanity and today’s society. What I mean by saying “today’s society” is that; people in general seem to have lost their sense of empathy and sympathy for other humans from what I see on the news, which depresses me. Without peo...

How Some Men Find Love... by Corey John Richardson We don't always do the right things. For me, I rarely did the right ones. A few years ago, I was facing a lot of prison time for a rather atypical white collar crime... and my co-defendant had just taken a deal in the middle of our joint trial. For those of you who do not know about the system, this ensured that I would be the one to go away for quite awhile. I was paralyzed with fear. Surely, I would be a target, and not just because of...

The prison system is a cesspool of perpetual negativity. The average prisoner has to be on guard from both ...
