I've chronicled various times after the incident in which I accused Officer D. Huffstuttler of discriminating against black inmates.

A Pollyana in the Penitentiary by Danny Cherry As I sat reading Executive Regional Director Michael Osburn's response, I just shook my head and chuckled. I was way beyond the point of disgust given all that had happened up until that point. Writing the commissioner had always proven itself to be an exercise in futility, however, my conscious reasoning would never allow me to rest unless I dissented from the recidivistic conditioning of the Indiana State Reformatory. Initially, I became d...

A Cesspool Full of Drecks by Danny Cherry As I lay there in excruciating agony caused by the severe infection that had resulted from my untreated burns, I tried very hard not to cry. My salted tears only exacerbated the wounds on the left side of my face. The pain was crippling; it paralyzed me. My wounds bled profusely and oozed puss incessantly. My sheet and blanket were ruined -- stained with the essence of my tortured being. I wondered how much more that my body could bear before it yield...

appeal to families to help incarcerated individuals take measures to leave prison

- Seventeen years ago, I arrived in Angola. I was assigned bed 43, next to an aging, frail prisoner who had been incarcerated longer than the 23 years I had been living. One day he said to me, "Youngsta, if you have family, don't waste their time and resources on bullshit. Doing time in prison is not for any one." Basically, he was telling me to use my family for one purpose: to assist in my struggles to regain freedom. In order to do so, I had to educate myself to educate my f...

I became involved in the Los Angeles drug trade in its infancy, during the mid 80s, initially, to support myself in college. Once my stature progressed, I quickly left school behind. I continued in this field until 1994, when fellow drug dealers collaborated with ‘others’ [authorities] to put me on California's death row, from w...

Analytical Thinking in College Football

 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 ...

Cruel despots -- the most handsome men I had ever seen, consumed me in my moments of despair;...
