January 7, 2019 APWA, All I can think to write about is what its like to be illiterate most of my life, to be abandoned by public defenders and to face a wrongful conviction on only hearsay when real evidence was not allowed. I can't imagine anyone interested in what it took to learn to read and write, the hell I lived through since December 20, 1990. Lets be honest, people are always too willing to believe the worst. I suppose it helps shape the world in their eyes. I still do not belie...

As I study what our founders of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights sacrificed for the freedoms most enjoy today, what went wrong with our laws for so many? I can't help but think that this culture of prisons would be a disappointment to our great ancestors who gave so much, often in blood and life. Also, as much as this is not just about me, I sometimes wonder how my life would have been different had I not lived on a farm and received a real education. But I refuse to live in self ...

Can anyone imagine even for a moment what it's like to be arrested for crimes you never committed, they have to sit in Court drugged out of your mind on 250 mg. of Elavil, a highly addictive prisoner management tool that the County Jail was using. I am only now learning for the first time what and why my entire time at trial I was so dizzy, passed out and was sleeping eighteen hours a day as I read the Medical Summary Transfer Report and the cautions and risks of a Medication I would of ...

CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM I'm a Chinese immigrant and an American citizen. I'm in wrongful conviction which was decided by detective(s) and Court before investigation, only because I'm a Chinese immigrant and Chemist, thus the first charge immediately was terrorist! Which was later dropped. To convict me wrongfully, almost all kinds of the misconducts of detectives and investigator and prosecutor and judge and lawyer in legal reports happened in my case. Detective(s) destroyed ex...

[NO TITLE] February 23, 2019 American Prison Writing Archive, I wish to thank you for your letter dated February 15, 2019. Also please feel free to use any of my letters. I filled out the permission questionnaire in a previous letter just for that reason. As for names in ongoing legal cases, such is not the case as this case goes back to 1990, and because I was truly illiterate at the time and did not learn how to read or write for about twenty years or did anyone tell me about time limits of...

"It's more than a little trying" By Alan Sorensen The hot, dry weather that is fanning fires across Colorado, and many other states, is also battering the state's economy as politicians use up every hard-earned dollar, just to keep people in prison long after all common sense in what has become purely punitive. It is not just industry and crops drying up, it is your money in taxes, the cost of homes and land. Why, just so these people in office can appease some voters, aft...

" Just a Thought " By Alan Sorensen In what world would you charge, arrest and take to trial an individual for murder, with no body, no empirical evidence like DNA, no verifiable facts of any kind, only that of public opinion. In what world would you charge, arrest and take to trial an individual for rape even after all physical evidence, that such as a gynecology exam proved that the alleged victim still had a normal hynen that was completely intact. In what world would you charge,...

Letter to the Editor I apologize for my poor writing skills. I never had much of a formal education or stability in school and its taken me more than two decades to get this legible through self education. Also I would not bother you and others now, but I gave my word to a recently passed best friend, more of a brother who came into my life, wrote me at least twice a week, stood by me for almost 30 years, that I would do my best once again to tell an inconvenient truth. Please understand. I&a...

"Modern Slavery" By Alan Sorensen Political parties are now paying attention, and it showes in our homes and in the streets, the all too strange 2020 politics is the time for change, and people are really justifiably anxious for many good reasons, jobs and money or the absence of such makes it clear that the old days of using tax payer hard earned resources on every little nonsense is coming to an end. Perhaps you have heard it all before, all the tired media spin of old ideas, but ...

Open Letter to the Editor By Alan Sorensen Dear President Trump, I suppose congratulations are in order for your acquittal of impeachment. I say that I suppose because how many good men and women have been convicted and sit in prison because unlike you they did not have the money for good lawyers and positive press to make sure the world knew they were innocent until proven guilty. I have to ask why it is so popular for you politicians to cry wolf just to remind us all people are innocent unt...

The Cost of Innocence By Alan Sorensen It has been my experience that the more we care about the world the more the world and all its people finds new ways to hurt us. With that said please let me share some personal observations about life in a man made hell on earth some generously call humane for nothing more than speaking inconvient and indisputable truths. Perhaps then you too may see the pointed questions we should all be asking ourselves. Why is it when we see people suffering from obv...

The Cost of Innocence By Alan Sorensen "Facts Not In Dispute" Exonerations used to be the unusual, now they are commonplace yet the pure number of exonerations we now see and hear about have not made a dent in the number of innocent defendants who have been wrongfully convicted and punished. Perhaps this is due to what is often called, “Rules of the justice game”, but this is no game, real lives and freedom’s are lost. All that said, once you see the world the way it truly is you ca...

The Cost of Innocence "Last Call" By Alan Sorensen So you have Just returned from a visit from your doctor. after running many tests and repeating them, she has determined that you have a incurable disease, not a illness, but something rare and just as deadly, a wrongful conviction, that there is no cure for as long as the "Good Old Boys" run the house and senate judiciary committees, there will be no cure for it in the foreseeable future. You will die alone and there is n...

"Truth About Recidivism" By Alan Sorensen There is this idea, at least it's true for me, that those of us that learn as adults what we never did as children, our minds soak up information like a sponge. There is a real couriosity about people and the world we live in. I myself have been blessed with some very good teachers these last ten years. So the question is why is there so much "Recidivism" in such a rich culture with so much to offer to those willing to work fo...

Where will this lead? by Alan Sorenson I remember a time when my daughter, Pandora, asked me why most people are concerned only with the present. I told her, they have this idea: spend it today, enjoy it today, and take no thought of the future. She is truly her mother's daughter. At her age I would have never given it a thought how we would be so much happier if we were only conscious of the future. As I now think about it, perhaps all of us should be asking, "Where will this lead?...
