Bruce W. Herforth 9/5/19 A Different Type of Dictatorship Introduction: My regular correspondent recently wrote, "I was really interested to hear your report about 'prison politics.' How would you describe it, a benign dictatorship?" I was intrigued by the question and flattered by his repetition of a term that had been coined by another inmate in my Cognitive Thinking and Anger Management class. I took the bait and wrote this essay. My main role as a recently transplanted...

Bruce W. Herforth 11/7/19 Hole Time Introduction: Here's how to acquire complimentary office supplies in a private prison. If a non-indigent inmate wants something in a for-profit facility, he usually needs to purchase it for himself from the commissary list or an outside vendor. I recently discovered that all an inmate needs to do to get free paper and envelopes is to go to the hole for a week. At 1:55PM on Friday, October 11, 2019, the unit manager of the M-Building entered the inmate ...

Bruce W. Herforth 9/27/19 The Great Penn Lockdown My most regular correspondent, who is not a member of my natal family, recently summarized my incarcerative experience based on what I had written in my letters.

Bruce W. Herforth 7/19/19 When Enemies Become Allies I first came to live in a private prison located in the state of Mississippi in mid-November last year. My cohort of nineteen inmates from Vermont arrived by bus around 4:00 PM, Central Time on a Thursday afternoon. We were not permitted to move into our designated cells until after midnight the following morning. I was initially assigned to live with a Vermont inmate named Peter. He had already been residing out-of-state in various facilit...
