Text (O)
A MAJOR HANG-UP Ilve spent 22 years in maximum security facilities where the culture has a texture unique to that environment. Extremes are embraced when moderation would prove the more productive path. Violence, dominance and emasculation are the languages which most cons come to believe that they must be fluent in to communicate our strength and declare our manhood. I've been here in New Lisbon, a medium security facility for 2 years now. It's not nearly as yiolent as max because ...

"A Shitty Situation" by William D. Hastings As if I was observing some kind of sickening and sadistic scientific experiment, I watched the garbage bag I had wrapped around the toilet slowly rise as the unflushed feces emanated methane gas. I was fascinated by the sight of science in action and horrified by the knowledge that soon I would have to remove the plastic covering to take a leak - and in so doing, get a mighty whiff of my own shit. There had been a glut of rain, too much to...

The excuse, again, was an outside trip for an OMH (psych) appointment. This was just a cover. This isn't the only retaliation I have suffered. On July 2, OSI PREA investigator Bossman questioned me about my PREA complaints, b...

9/30/2015 Advice for those new to prison By Cedric B. Theus I have been asked many times about how I got through almost twenty years in prison with my mind, body and spirit still in good condition. New prisoners often seek guidance from “veteran prisoners” on how to conduct themselves in order to minimize problems. That is the purpose of this composition. Losing one’s freedom is one of the most traumatic experiences that a normal person can have. It is in the nature of most animals to resist ...

Growing up in white, middle class suburbia I was, by all accounts, sheltered and blissfully ignorant. My needs were met without question and I came to regard my parents as many such teenagers do; petty tyr...

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...

We'd like to think that a bright light from Heaven, with an angel, would float down from above, and personally help those in need. Uh, nope. That usually doesn't happen. Here's a news flash— it comes through us. In order to show God's love, there must be people willing to care about people. So many of us like to say we love God...

Can the MDOC Be Fixed? No, this is not a trick question, however, the state of Michigan will never know the answer. The reason why is because its not that the Michigan Department of Corrections cannot be fixed. It is because of what it will take to fix it. Consider Structure The MDOC needs to be more structured. No one is on the same page. Most of their own policies and operating procedures are personally interpreted as the interpreter wants to interpret it. If another staff member says “That...
