Being a murderer, I've earned it. I'm serving 58yrs and 17yrs at the rate of 50% for good behavior, for a total of 37‘/zyrs, which will make me 52 before my release. And that's a blessing, since the maximum may have been 60yrs and 20yrs—-perhaps ifl had been a hardened adult, a career criminal, maybe...

AFWA Essay Submission All I Have Pay attention. Parents and teachers say those words over and over, and it is so easy not to understand what they mean; to be annoyed by then; to reject them. They are, unfortunately, two of the most important words that you will ever hear when you are young, if not the most important. They do not mean ,iobeyn. If whoever says them includes that in their tone, then thay also misunderstand what it means to pay attention. And they suffer for it. Knowing that, rat...

Running head: TIME 1 All Doing Time Given an opportunity to describe himself during an interview, an Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections (ODRC) resident, adamantly declared, “I ain’t a snitch. I don’t fuck wit boys. And I don’t break under pressure” (Mr. Prisoner, 2016, personal interview). When asked during this interview was he the proverbial “inmate” or “convict”, he answered, “Pm a prisoner — there’s a difference” (Mr. Prisoner, 20 l 6, personal interview). Apparently these ...

Alone By: Kevin M. Harker Solitary is the breaker of dreams, the sole cause for lost memories. One does not track time in a timeless land. Here I stand all alone, wishing for voices other than the ones in my head. How many seconds in a year pass by? What about two years, four years or many more? When I think of life inside this box I know I am the master of my thoughts. I am the only ruler in the recesses of my mind. I think thoughts no other could ever think nor comprehend. The sheer thought...

ALONE WOTH NOBODY For many that are incarcerated, being alone hurts more often than any other pain we may experience. Having no one to share the ideas, thoughts and passions we have, slowly but surely destroys a person behind bars. Loneliness turns to self—destruction, forcing individuals to engage in behaviors one would be appalled by. My message to those incarcerated is for all of us to start seeking p0Sil'iV€ interactions with people out in the communities. Instead of focusing on how ...

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...

appeal to families to help incarcerated individuals take measures to leave prison

- Seventeen years ago, I arrived in Angola. I was assigned bed 43, next to an aging, frail prisoner who had been incarcerated longer than the 23 years I had been living. One day he said to me, "Youngsta, if you have family, don't waste their time and resources on bullshit. Doing time in prison is not for any one." Basically, he was telling me to use my family for one purpose: to assist in my struggles to regain freedom. In order to do so, I had to educate myself to educate my f...

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...
