Graham © October 11, 2017 Since this addendum is composed from the perspective of a correctional client versus that of a correctional official, little attention has been paid to traditional penal models. Instead, most of the focus is upon conveying the actual experience of incarceration itself, with as much objectivity as poss...

Attainted In AnoKKKa Written by: Isaiah M. Thomas "Thomas, phone!" yelled the detention deputy into the over-crowded bullpin. I quickly rose "from the uncomfortable chair thinking, “it's about time”. I'd been shacked-up in this filthy holding cell for what felt like eternity. My back ached from sitting on metal chairs and laying on the concrete floor for such long periods of time. I had no idea what time what it was, the evening was a blur; I'd went to sleep, woke...

Blind Leading the Blind A prison experience I will never forget happened one evening last July. I was making a call to my girlfriend Taemi that would no doubt end like all the others; with me hating myself and wondering why I called in the first place. That seemed to be our routine. Knowing how I would feel afterwards I would still line up each night and spend half of my forty-five minute rec time to receive a fifteen minute dose of verbal bashing. That seemed to be the routine of quite a few...

It was July 18th, and all I knew, was that today my sentence in "solitary confinement" had finally expired. I couldn't wait to be released from this oppressive hellhole. In this place, in addition to the stressful restrictive living conditions, the guards used tactics to make a person feel subhuman. If you aren't strong enough... well? You might just lose it. I spent the last few weeks of my life reading and writing for twenty-three hours a day. I was burnt out. I guess th...

1 My name is Porter. And this is my pain. I've been dealing with prison since I was thirteen years old. Over half of my life. I cannot tell you how many fights I've been in, or even jumped. By both inmates and correctional officers. Violence is an everyday part of the prison pecking order. Violence is my only intimacy. My only friend. It is always there. Waiting for me. More than likely, I will die here, in prison. More than likely, I will die through violence. As much violence has ...

Offender is emphasized by corrections officials in notices, memorandums, policies, all means of communication, including by some staff over the public address system: "Offender John Doe, report to the staff station." The use of this terminology is a constant pu...

Relief Or Riot - Prisoner of Conscience by Edward R. Clark Part 1 This story is true and documented. "Burn the prison down!" This threat echoed throughout the Stillwater prison, even among nonviolent prisoners. The obvious area to carry it out in this 100-year-old prison is its industrial buildings having wooden varnished floors, flammable materials, and large propane tanks. Once the fire started, it would quickly spread, while the local community's fire department waited at th...
