"1st Amendment Under Siege" Recently last year (May,2016) Arkansas Department of Correction Czarina Wendy Kelly issued a rather fastidious policy that cited newspaper clippings would be banned from prisoner mail, classifying them as (wait for it - with bated breath) "contraband"!? According [ineligible] to ADC (Ay, Carumba! Arkansas Department of Corruption) policy, they are... concerned about drug smuggling but said vitiated policy does not affect newspapers sent directly...

"American Prisons and Free-World Staff Not Ready for Second Wave of Covid" "When written in Chinese, the word "crisis" is composed of two characters. One represents danger, and the other represents opportunity." Never before have many would have thought such a [crisis?] as the Covid-19 pandemic would wreck havoc upon all parts of American life. But when it comes to prisons, a lot of the free-world staff (e.g. - guards, medical staff) as well as the residents of t...

Eensorship In Michigan Prisons By: Uacino Hamilton Today, another book was rejected. The fifth time in the past two weeks this has happened. All because the book wasn't sent from an "approved vendor." To the uninformed public such a requirement may appear on its face reasonable, the Michigan department of Corrections should control where information prisoners are receiving is coming from, and what that information is. But in practice, its a form of censorship. A policy that pro...

Egyptian Days for One Gallimaufry Enterprise If you operate an enterprise built upon desiring and getting the gold of Tolash (e.g., ill-gotten wealth will do no one good) that's not worth a tinker's damn, you will be a business many consider "ne touchez pas, nole me tangere" (e.g., one not to be touched). This is what's facing the Kakistrecratic Arkansas Department of Correction as it finds itself stricken with one gey case of "blue flu" and increasing inmat...

Page 1 of 4 From Public Enemy To Enemy of The State by Robert Saleem Holbrook When I was a child I used to often walk past the old Eastern State Penitentiary on Fairmount Avenue in North Philadelphia and stare in awe at its high walls and ramparts seemingly towering into the sky believing naivety that the old prison was an ancient castle from the days of knights and kings. There were times myself and other kids my age used to try and scale the walls to get a glimpse of what was inside, how ir...

INTERVIEW OF LACINO HAMILTON BY THE OPENING STATEMENT OS: What is the first thing you want people to know about living in prison? LACINO: That prison is an emotional and psychological torture that is far worse than any torture to the body, by design. Days and weeks and months and years of being told up is down and right is left, punished for not acquiescing, for not showing extreme deference, influences the oven/vhelming majority of imprisoned men and women to give up or give in, and become mer...

"Is the American Deus Ex Machina in Trouble?" For years billions of taxpayer... dollars have been spent building state and federal human warehouses to "combat crime and protect John and Jane Q. Public from crime." Many politicians have been elected because of advocating "get tough on crime: build more prisons - it'll mean more jobs and security for concerned citizens." Furthermore: "Let's punish repeat offenders by increasing existing or let's...

Atrium Press July 6, 2017 KNOWING WHERE WE HAVE BEEN IN ORDER TO KNOW WHERE WE ARE GOING: FROM PROTEST TO POLITICS By Lacino Hamilton As activists fighting for racial equality encounter crises similar to crises activists experienced in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, being aware of those similarities can provide a framework for questioning today’s activism. That awareness can catalyze desperately needed new approaches when inevitable problems of reaction, cooptation, insufficient knowledge and changin...

One of My Best Friends Is a Serial Killer by Stephen Whetzel 
 One of my best friends is a serial killer. Perhaps given his court-mandated and state-supported retirement plan, a 129-year prison sentence, I should refer to him as an ex-serial killer. Although he has not committed murder since his incarceration, the State of Indiana recently convicted him of 21 previously unsolved murder. His DNA matched a sample founcl on a corpse discovered thirteen years earlier. The media had touted the gru...

Author: Jeremy Pinson Date: 8-21-14 Essay No. 2 The focus of this essay concerns the devaluation of human life in a prison setting. Human beings have a penchant for division, creating endless us versus them scenarios in the mind to justify any conduct or decision that would be otherwise unacceptable. In the United States the demonization of "the criminals" is longstanding. But we forget that criminals are human beings too. Human beings who broke the law but also who still feel pain,...
