In an age of record budget deficits and massive national debt, it would appea...

What the future held for my young family was unclear. As my mind drifted between memories of the past and thoughts of what might have been, feelings of helplessness began to c...

It is Good Justice is Blind Because She Would Not Like Some Of the Things Done in Her Name if She Could See Them By Wesley I. Purkey Not long after turning 18 in 1970 I was booked in the Sedgwich County Jail, Wichita, KS after being convicted of burglary by a jury not of my peers. The jail was packed beyond capacity and because of such I was housed in one of the segregation cells on the fifth floor. The cell had a piece of plywood and a waffle size mattress for a bunk on the floor and a hole ...

Labeling Theory Like most prisoners, I could go on a tirade about the multitude of problems that exist within the confines of prisons. But, most of those problems are merely symptomatic of a greater issue: the way in which prisoners are viewed. The police, courts, legislators, and prison officials label prisoners in ways that perpetuate the existing system. For the prisoner, the labeling process begins at the time of arrest. Suspects are humiliated by being arrested in public. This humiliatio...
