Center Ring by Mark A. Jarosik Sandwiched between majestic tree topped mountain ranges, a sprawling man-made oval ring bordered entirely by spiral razor wire capped chain link fencing solemnly rests in a lush California coastal valley. The mere sight sparks lost mental images of childhood memories where I spent sultry summer days with my siblings sitting on spectator grandstands fanning away facial perspiration beneath a pennant waving canvas tent. Many years later, far from these exciting an...

An open letter Dear fellow Americans and citizens of the great and golden state of California, I am writing to you today on this final day of March because, had I been willing to admit to something which I simply did not do, today would be the last possible day in which the government could continue their incarceration of me, Matt Armendariz, an incarceration that, while technically legal, is no less unjust, bogus, and ruinous to lives including my own as well as those whom I care about, in a...

Essay: Don't judge a book by its cover, Same for an O.G. A work of non-fiction in the spring of 2014 I arrived at Pleasant Valley State Prison in a bright red paper jumpsuit, a "onesie" if you will, forthe adult criminal population issued by the budget-conscious California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation that morning at 4 am as I boarded a bus from Wasco Prison Reception to go to mainline yard. After a brief stop at Avenai Prison l was delivered to PVSP, which i qu...

The Inside Track Amid slamming doors and jangling keys, there is no room for peaceful reflection. But then a voice screeching from the guards control booth presents an avenue for relief: Upper tier, Yard's open! Yard's open! Methodically, two by two, we leave our cells and descend the stairs, corralled into the housing unit's ground floor sally port and eventually thrust out into the brilliant sunlight. Blinking, we emerge surrounded by structures that pierce the sky like rogue...

The Wraith by Cameron Terhune 9-1-16 "What was it like for you to get life in prison?" Being sentenced to life in prison is an oxymoron. You are not being sentenced to live or have any sort of real life. What it really means is you are being sentenced to die in prison, to exist in a place without life, or to exist, conscious and aware, yet completely shorn of your life. What is that like? You are told you are not welcome in the larger community of human beings. Everyone is created e...

Warriors Of Iron From Piles Of Wood Introduction As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. — A proverb Many times I have laughed when friend or foe alike has told me, "I used to have 19 inch arms," or, “I once bench-pressed 400 and such and such pounds.” You see, in my nearly thirty years of coaching varsity level sports and of training as a full-time athlete myself, I have learned how very easy it is to talk big.
