- 1# April 13 2020 Dear reader(s) A introduction into the impulsive journey of highs is how I feel. A recipient of 24 hour lock down with this Covid-19 viral pandemic has my fear and paranoia at an all time high. No alternative it seem is made to those of us who need to vent that we truely fear for the 1st time. This fear is spoken in the confessional booth aka the vent that connects our vents. I express them when APWA gives my body a voice and a chance to ask for help. The world should see thi...

- Page 1# Dear Reader(s), March, 30, 2020 From North Branch these words are being wrote. The message that we wish to demand is protection from this time of crisis. Is it to much for us as convicted criminals to ask for help? Has the world forgotten that we exist? Maybe a cry that a unqualified mental health professional should get. It is us who have to watch the world suffer, and be met with fears that our next phone call will go unanswered because they have contracted "C19". It was m...

- 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...

- 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...

- #1 Jun 06 2020 Dear Reader(s) How does one tell an officer hi in the am when their eyes drip of venom? How does one look at an officer when they smell of the trigger that had me getting my stomach pumped? How does one hold a conversation when one parties has chewing tobacco in his mouth? How can I tell an officer that black lives matter when I call my homeboy n*** for laughs and giggles? So many questions. Vey few answers that will satisfy my thirst. The thirst for ovderstanding that I am mor...

- Dear Reader(s), I have not wanted to wake up in the morning for fear that I would get sick. Today was now the same as it was yesterday. A day in the Present in which I now am afraid of the Corona Virus as much as the audio hallucinations that I have battled my whole adult life. Today feels of yesterday, and of the day before. This time is scary for me also. I've wrote to speak with the vacant Psychology department. I seen the head of the Psychology department today walk pass my window to...

- Page 1# Dear Reader(s) (2nd essay) I must say I am glad to be given a chance to give others a chance to see inside of the Maryland Prison System. I'm not sure if compassion, anger, or doubt will be the end result. I care in a sense that I wish you would believe me, then on the other hand I don't because it is I who... Play the mental health professional to those who I consider to be a friend. It is me who hears my friends with worse issues than me banging their heads to stop the tho...

- 1# June 7, 2020 Dear Reader(s), I sit closer to the day that I will soon be released back into general population. My heart beats the normal beat, yet my senses are hightened. My tongue gets dry pretty fast. My eyes are seeing more than these four walls that have been my homie since December 01, 2018. My finger tips are sweaty to touch and too dry to shake. I hear more than my name and the voices that have plagued my conscience since a early adolescant. 23 hours and 1 Monday through Friday, S...

- Page #1 Dear Reader(s), (1st essay) It is from the cold cell of North Branch Correctional Institution that I pen these words. It is on this day of February.28.2020 that I sit on administrative segregation. It is the coming of my 29th birthday this March that I realize it will be a day longer because of it being "leap year". It is 9:15 pm that I reveal myself as a fighter and journey-man who goes by the name Christopher Cox. 1st hand experiences in my opinion are the ones that will b...

- Dear Reader(s) Would it make sense if I told you that I receive praise from those who are incarcerated with me just by mentioning the past versus the present? Would the reader understand that all I am is what I've been able to discover through these revolutionary tablets (books)? Should I be able to name my triggers? Maybe my urges or cognitive distortions? Would you understand me better if I told you my personal library in this dog kennel (cell) includes authors such as: Elaine Brown, D...
