#Incarcerated Lives Matter By: Lacino Hamilton Just a few years ago, the crises of mass incarceration was largely thought of as an invisible issue. Talked about almost exclusively in abolitionist circles and on prison yards. It is now part of the mainstream discourse. Publications and groups spanning the political spectrum, even presidential hopefuls in both parties, claim support for reducing the incarceration rate. Still, we must not be naive. Elite-level alliances, the dominant voice, tape...

66 Days Later Frederick Mason USP Tucson #55487-056 PO Box 24550 Tucson, AZ 85734 The date is August 10th, 2016, 66 days after the incident on Memorial Day Weekend, Sunday, June 5th. 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...

(666) Essay by, Frederick Radford 7/11/2016 One reason I chose to title this essay “666”, is because I’m thirty six years old and 36 = 3 / 6’s = 666. Even though I am a peace maker, I’ve been battling the beast for so long that it has literally put me in beast mode! Like I said, I’m thirty six years old, on this day and I thank God that death hasn’t conquered me yet. From my understanding, I feel like “life” is designed to-program-all of us into pawns. We live in a system that is designed to ...

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 brand new beginning awaits us all By Darrell Sharpe, MA The windows here at the MCI Norfolk Prison-Security Housing unity extend from floor to ceiling, about eight feet high. They're only five inches wide-impossible for anyone to escape through, and the glass is clear. That surprised me. Most segregation units I've landed in have cell windows that are completely frosted over from the outside, making it impossible to look through them. But here at MCI Norfolk we have lots of beauti...

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...

Keith Burley Pennsylvania A Definition of freedom One form of freedom is the ability to recognize the truth. For when someone has the ability to recognize the truth, he is free from an intellectual perspective, and a rational perspective. It is a form of "MENTAL ENSLAVEMENT" when someone knows the truth, yet does not recognize it. Consider someone with an addiction to cigarette's. He knows that they are poisonous in that they cause cancer and other ailments. However, if this pe...

A Peek on The Inside There is the common predisposed outlook of prison and life in prison by the public. It becomes ingrained by the movies and tv shows, and its glorified by the music and those who use prison for "street credit." Prison is a lot of things. But 1 thing that prison isn't is fun. This is a system meant to reform, but designed to destruct. And the worst part is that its self-perpetual. To the unfortunate individual who find themselves in this system, we come to re...
