Bradford King Thumb Correction Facility 3225 John Conley Drive Lapeer, Michigan 48446 email @ Jpay.com A Convicts Reposte I have watched the events in our nation, of late, and that brings to mind a line from a 60's song, "Hate your next door neighbor but don't forget to say grace." Looking back at my experience of the 60's and 70's, I now wonder, are we in reverse. Voices seem to be that of hate, degradation, and racism. This message is spread by the very people ...

A DAY IN MY LIFE Awakened by the brilliance of 6:00AM lights, I arise, grab my toiletries and walk down the long, stale white corridor toward the restroom. First, I must wade through a bevy of inmates blocking my path while vehemently discussing lat night's televised basketball game. These men do so without any consideration for those still trying to sleep or pass through. I step across the threshold and into a room with two rows of sinks where all sorts of men — white, black, Mexican, t...

A lot has been written Original Dorotik CA A lot has been written about the prison system lately -- why we as a nation incarcerate so many, why the bureauocratic and unweildy system is only expected to make minimal cuts to its 11 billion dollar budget while education and social supports are slashed to the very core, why California's prison system has the highest recidivism rate of any state in the nation? But little is written of the individual suffering that occurs in devastating ways o...

ALONE Alas, I am alone and destined to remain so. No longer can the burning, innate longing for love, companionship and re-affirmation of my worth reverberate inside my heart and mind. Is this due to years apart from others? Or is it because of my transgressions that I am left with no choice but to accept the exile society will impose that separates me even from those who ODCG felt affection from and for me? Once thrust back into the world from which I am now ten years removed, it would be fo...

Reflecting on this, it brings to light that (man for centuries) has more often than not been judging one another predominantly by race not individuality. Given the diversit...

First, it's every horror story you can imagine if you happen to run up against someone suffering from borderline personality disorder and low self-esteem. I like to imagine I'm only here impersonating a fake prisoner because I'm trying out for the new Scorcese film - and I'm up against Jennifer Connelly, and she beat me out of the role in House of...

I have found in the course of serving almost 20 years that if a topic matter is of concern, and brought to staffs attention, the focus is not on addressing the matter brought to staff, rather staffs concern is to tell as many of their peers, who pointed it out.

I gave my nothingness to God who took it and made something. I hurt those closest to me. I betrayed them in the worst way possible. Yet God has brought us back together. My family ha...

COLD DAYS IN PURGATORY BY B.C. Murray The divergent distractions that exists inside a prison compound are often enough to hoard away feelings of hopelessness and despair. Nothing though is cogent enough to overcome the morose feelings to which every prisoner eventually succumbs. As hard as one may try; loneliness, despair, insufficiency, and shame supercede all other emotions regardless of efforts to the contrary. Just as on the outside, the weather dictates emotions. When cold, wintry, days ...
