I've chronicled various times after the incident in which I accused Officer D. Huffstuttler of discriminating against black inmates. I voiced my concern and contempt of the situation that very night, to see if the prison would fairly and honestly address this issue. And it is of great importance that they do...

Analytical Thinking in College Football 
 Frederick Mason [ID] USP Tucson PO Box 24550 Tucson, AZ 85734 
 I have found that when it comes to writing, you have to have an analytical mind if you are going to be unbiased in what you are sharing. I have found that it is wise to take the extra effort to see both sides of the coin when it comes to writing on prison issues. This is important when it comes to writing about prison issues, because oftentimes, people get the idea that when inmates talk ...

There's nothing on the 7 televisions; why on earth do INMATES watch "Lockup" on MSNBC? These guys whine and cry like babies if there's a single cartoon on, as if it's too childish, but then turn around and watch "real life crime" or "drug dealers on TV" and stuff like that. So I'm trying to stall...

Chronicles of April (Who Am I Fighting for Here) Sometimes you have to stand your ground on what you really believe in. Everybody knows that, but the tricky part is that many times, the beliefs you have, and think many others will believe in, is not what many will actually stand up for, even if it's right to do. Sometimes there are causes that affect everyone, as some here in prison. The problem is that so many guys here talk about doing stuff, but when it comes to action, they run under...
