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...

I was born in 1961 to parents who had their heads on straight. Therefore, I had what I consider a very stable, ideal, and bl...

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...

Stephen David Long California Introduction to "Prisoner" How prisoners are perceived by the public has a significant impact on the environments prisoners are subjected to. The public's impressions of what a prisoner is has been warped through false depictions, unsure imagination, and propaganda. If public knowledge of what a prisoner symbolizes is attached to opprobious character traits, the common-man will be insensate toward the situations prisoners face on a daily basis. I b...

In December 2016, I was brought before a classification committee where I was told I would be transferred to another facility in the coming weeks. This classification hearing and the transfer came as a great surprise to me. I was not scheduled for a hearing until February 2016. I had grown accustomed to living at California Correctional Cen...

Prior to prison and jail I was at a loss in direction. Rockbottom for me was not having any more options and not knowing how to ask for help due to half pride that I don't need no one and half fear that I don't want to be judged and looked at like scum. I'm almost 28 years old and I'm finally settling down. My life style from birth is "get up and go", patience and ADHD don't go to well; Add drugs and you get a non stop human avoiding anything causing ill fee...

Some of our choices turn out to be ones we regret, leaving us with feelings of guilt and shame. I grew up with a mother who never had to work, not even after my dad died when I was only eleven years old. Between that time and my eighteenth birthday, my mom made ends meet with both a monthly life insurance benefit check and also monthly Social Security death benefit checks...

May the following information forever erase such a belief.
