Slangin the rocks from the triple beam. Was just a young buck having fun. Didnt realize what the cost of packing a gun. As I heard the iron gates rattle. Prepared for every twist and turn of the battle. For a life sentence surely I was doomed living in obscurity in a cocoon. Would I lose my mind. ...

Michael Arreyene S.V.S.P. California A Bad Year Any year in prison could be considered a bad year, but for me the past year has been a bad year. Although it is far from the worst because things could always be worse, for instance I probably could not be able to write these thoughts or even be around. By no means do I intend to be morbid, but as we all view the best/worse case scenario this is mine. My bad year began in August 2014 and it came out of nowhere and knocked me out like a suckerpun...

"A Black Man Trapped" The life some of us live, is the cause for our paranoia, pain and stress. Our parents think that we're insane and that we're not capable of learning life. life is the key to success, but with success there's a serious price, which perhaps many men don't want. I represent for the life that made me a problem child and the soldiers on the streets who are trying to survive the jungle that goes on in the ghettos/or jungle. They don't believe...

Once, the prison system was incorporated to the country's economy (i.e. created jobs); all rehabilitation went out of the picture. The lockdowns became longer, riots, attempt to murders, and murder became regular and normal. All of California's level four maximum security ...

A Polygraph Nation "When you fail your polygraph test, we're going to string you by your balls,’ exclaimed police detectives. All that I have ever wanted to do from the first second, when false allegations were made against me, was to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Most shocking, was when I realized that these police detectives were not very happy with me when results came in after my first polygraph saying that I had passed. They simply were pissed off ...

I write to point out what the judges DIDN'T think about in their decision, hoping that my opinion might be pointed out in some future opportunity. The case is Nordstrom v.

“Afraid To Love Myself” By Richard Atkins Jr. July 9, 2019 An unexamined life is not worth living. I had to speak that truth, that fact, first and foremost. The strong is dying to live while the weak lives to die. I was the weak living to die. I was insecure and immature to the point where I could care less whether I lived or died yesterday. My hate was a loaded weapon and as hard as my mother tried to comfort and love me unconditionally, I still was able to see my death around the corner. Th...

Alchemy is a term that brings people to edge, but it is relevant to life whether we recognize it or not. In our emotions, intelligence, and lifestyles alchemy exists as their mediator and the ...

As a corollary of self-awareness, I can now recognize traits of my own maladaptive behaviors exhibited in others. Such recognition allows me to have empathy towards these persons. One of the most demonstrative behaviors I have...
