Ten of Twenty-One A new year...12 months, 365 days, 8.760 hours, 525,600 minutes, 31,536,000 seconds. A time to consider directions, goals, and reflect on what actions to take. I must make some plans to live a normal life, but I also must live emotionally within a twenty-four-hour-frame. I can decide, "Today I will do this...Today I will do that." Each day I can measure my life by trying to do a little better, by deciding to make a effort to change. Somehow during the passage of tim...

If you don't stand up for yourself then you are left ...

They also have a very special election that is mandatory to their well being. "Judicial election." Approximately a week before North Carolina prisoners are released, their city or county law enforcement, are aware of the prisoners release. At this point the ex-felon becomes prey to a racial criminal justice system...

A Concise History of the Prisoners' Rights Movement: An Epic Struggle for Human Dignity Those who ignore the past are doomed to repeat it. Historian's maxim. After visiting Pennsylvania's Eastern State Penitentiary in 1842 Charles Dickens wrote, "The system is rigid, strict and hopeless...and I believe it to be cruel and wrong....I hold this slow and daily tampering with the mysteries of the [mind] to be immeasurably worse than any torture of the body."

A Day in the Life of Time My name is Eric. I was born and raised in St.Louis, but for the past 34 years I have been in prison in Missouri.

A Lesson in Language Incarceration has forced me to postpone my plans of travelling to the continents of Europe and Asia. Six years into a twenty year sentence for manslaughter, watching Globe Trekker on PBS or flipping through vacation mags in the prison library is the closest I get. My travels into Quebec and Mexico taught me that every street sign, television or radio program, menu, and all product packaging provides a lesson in language. Simply going about a regular routine in a foreign l...

An Ordeal I'm a prisoner serving consecutive life terms here in Washington State. I'm also a Christian.

This inmates name was Michael. I asked him if anyone had been charged or convicted for the crimes. He told me not that he knew of. I thought about what Michael had shared with me. He professed ...

Are We Justified in using Prisons? I came to prison at a young age. At that time in my life it was my belief that I deserved to be in prison. In fact it was my belief back then that I did not deserve to live because of the harm my actions had caused to other people. Because I was so young I held a lot of misconceptions about what prison was actually for. I thought and and was lead to believe by my judge, lawyer and family, that I would come to prison and be given the opportunity and chance to...
