Alone Amidst a Crowd An Essay on Prison Life One of the many ironies faced in prison is the fleeting chance moment of friendship found there. That moment, surprising and most unexpected, comes onto the yard and into your cell, your life, so very suddenly that you are left feeling incredulous at it's happening. It comes about usually at the discretion of the guards, who have decided to move a person for concerns of safety or convenience. You have left your cell to go to yard for your dail...

Auto-Da-Fe Translates to; "act of faith", in Portuguese, however, in history it assumes a much more sinister significance. Auto-da-fe was the ceremony of the Inquisition's judgement, and order for punishment to be executed by the government. This perverse marriage of state and church, ushered in the perfection of punishment, torture, sorted means of death, and "creative cruelty" designed to break the will of those deemed; not in moral conformity. In 1483, Tomas de Tor...

CIVILIZED SOCIETY ? The federal court ruled on elderly in prison: “A civilized society locks up such people until age makes them harmless, but it does not keep them in until they die"; 835 F2d 1195, US v. E. Jackson. Yet, old and sick prisoners continue to die in California's prison system. The U.S. Supreme Court had to rule in 2011, California was conducting cruel and unusual punishment by overcrowding prisons, before the state begrudgingly began to reduce the population of its 34 ...

(c) John L. Orr 1996 2000 words County Erections by John L. Orr I willingly gave my country four years in the 1960's, but giving an almost equal amount to my county was unplanned. I usually slept well in my cell in the Los Angeles County Jail, but woke up to a nightmare. "An erection! I need an erection!" These are not the words you expect to wake up to in a jail, or anywhere but an asylum, but that's what roused me one morning in 1996. I recognized the voice of my friend,...

Stepping out from behind waist—high rusted conveyer parts, he confidently sidled into my path. i had just left the ninth-inning baseball game 100 yards behind me and knew no one followed me. The path ahead, too, was clear of anyone. Now only 30 feet away, his appearance sent a cold wave across my back and throug...

I am extremely tired of it. People in prison suffer terrible abuses, which call for lawsuits and criminal prosecutions of corrupt officials. Winning my release should pay millions of dollars in a false imprisonment lawsuit. Last year a man was fully exonerated who had been on death row for 41 years (www.sanqu...

JUDICIAL ANTIQUES Criminals and miscreants of all sorts, were once subjected to torture and execution, attended by the public, with all the grandeur of a ceremonial spectacle. In some cases, public attendance was mandatory. In 1790, over two hundred years ago, punishment was modernized by establishing prison models that institutionalized the power to punish, moving it out of public view. Along with English and Flemish models, the new up-start country of the United States, introduced Philadelp...

JUST A LITTLE PREGNANT The "Non-violent” mantra has become 51 politically correct position for politicians and misguided prison reformers. These people believe, if the so called “Non-violent” are removed from prisons, the problem of dysfunctional prisons will be solved. In other words, the system is just a little pregnant. Associate Professor Andrea Roth, U.C. Berkeley School of Law (1), has taken a more realistic bite out of the reality apple, when she says ”Obama's focus on crimin...

MA$TERING NORD$, NOT DEED$ Semantics; a noun, the study of meanings in language. In California‘s penal system, there seems to be little conformity in semantics. Words, terms and definitions are used as a means to an end, political correctness, and political machinations, for example: the Penal Code Part 1. reads "Of Crimes and Punishments”. Prison officials call their system "California Department of Correction and Rehabilitation” (CDCR), promoting and emphasizing “REHABILITATION”. ...

Resolute chess players periodically lift their heads and peer nonchalantly toward the entrance door to the module. Tiny beads of sweat appear on upper lips...

MOCKING BIRDS ARE ENDANGERED In an effort to awaken our social conscience to the evils of injustice, intolerance, discrimination, vengeance, and hate, author, Harper Lee, wrote, "TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD", a classic novel, set in the 1930's, published in 1960, and a Oscar movie in 1962. Lee, chronicled the confluence of innocence, and evil, in the human condition. She illustrates how evil flourishes, blooms, and dominates, when innocence is indifferent. Mocking Bird's 1930&a...

REFORM BY A THOUSAND PSYCHOLOGICAL CUTS The psychological term for breaking a man, or animal, to total submission, or passive resignation, is "learned helplessness”(1). Exposure to recurring negative, unpleasant, noxious, and or, painful situations, in which there is no possibility of escape, or avoidance, produces: passive resignation, depression, and a host of other psychological disorders. Any competent psychologist would define intentional conditioning to “learned helplessness”, as c...

My introduction to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) prison system followed a lengthy stretch in a Club Fed penitentiary near Los Angeles. The difference between federal and state time is like departing a Hawaiian vacation and stepping into an Amazonian jungle without food, water or a weapon. Indoctrination into Governor Swarzenegger's penal system required my spen...

My father was a master at spotting perfectly good treasures other people threw out as trash, some of it was of questionable value like vacuum tube stabilizer racks, headless mannequins and blast doodles with copper fringes, but ...
