- Anatomy of a Convict 2019 by Abdul-Malik Kamau From my very first day into United State penitentiary in Leavenworth, KS, I was assured of never truly being human again. It was 1993 & I was 24 yrs of age! The immersion into the "convict" ethic(s) began with a real lesson: a quite brutal homicide, followed by an entire prison population's instant amnesia upon questioning! The lesson being: convicts hear no evil! see no evil! speak no evil! 'Death before dishonor' be...

- Anatomy of a Convict: Amerikkka's Creation My first experience of prison was a soul numbing experience, from the initial strip search @ Kern County (Bakersfield, CA)! To the intake process @ USP Leavenworth in 1993! The demoralization aspect(s) mirror each other: "Strip naked! Hands out & Turn over! Raise arms to show armpits! Open mouth & lift tongue! Behind ears L to R! Lift your scrotum...pull back your foreskin! Turn around...R foot! Now L foot! Bend over at waist...now ...

- My name is Carl Alexander; currently incarcerated in Cheshire Correctional institution.

- 1 of 6 The Cost of the Game (Revised) 1/18/20 Each day, i am reminded of the immeasurable cost(s) of longterm imprisonment. The most glaring of which, is having children that i truthfully only know, via letters! And, to add further insult to one’s injured heart, I now have to endure the very same pain with my children’s children!! My (3) adult children spent the majority of their lives living without a father. And now, their children live without a grandfather. We now have a lifetime of separ...

- What is an Amerikan? by Abdul Malik Kamau This question continues to come up in conversations with various brothas so… I thought I’d put down a few thoughts… Being as my ancestors were forcibly brought to this English colony in 1619… (separated from their families, homeland, languages, and religions!) and converted to “Amerikans" by lash, lynching, and murder! I find it impossible to identify as an “Amerikan.” It’d be akin to spitting in the faces of my ancestors! Subconsciously acquiesc...
