A Short Treatise on Reality By Maakneril I.K. Bey © 2015 Within the culture that we, as young Asiatic (so called Black, Brown, Indian, etc.) men in America, now surround and submerge ourselves are a multitude of misconceptions. Amongst the slums and poverty-stricken neighborhoods of every city, town, and/or municipality are, as one example, men who pride themselves on being “real” or “real niggaz”; and this very mentality has not only contributed to the masses of Asiatic men now incarcerated ...

Author
DeLogé, Steven Allen

Text (O)
A speed trap in a small Midwestern town, circa 1952. That is how I equate the current state of criminal justice in the United States today. The unsuspecting citizen who explores his options in other states and has little or no roots in the area is easy prey forvictimization by the system. The long-hair, the African American, the female, any outsider, even someone like a young independent boy with sagging trousers and an in-your- face sound system in his car thumping rap music — these are the ...

A Supreme Manifestation of Wisdom by Maakneru [ineligible] Bey @2016 Not long ago I was asked a question that I could not possibly answer without some thought. I don't like to bound myself within the understandings or perceptions of another, so responding with a prefabricated or cliched answer was out of the realm of possibility. As "Maakneru" I try to remain in that reality; that is as pure and honest with myself and the spirit within as I could be and thus manifesting the sam...

NO TITLE As I layed inside this hot, musty south Georgia prison cell last night… my mind was at peace. But around me there is abnormal amounts of chaos and confusion. Laying here meditating, my mind becomes distracted by the sound of a shank being sharpened in the few cells over. Sound travels clearly from cell to cell through the connecting heat vents. As the feeling of fears untold can be felt through the connected manner with which convicts choose to relate or respond to one another. My na...

" Dehumanization Session 3" Flannery 10-8-18 The objective and definition of dehumanization in prison is the breaking of minds through oppressive tactics. Once the mind becomes dehumanized and debased conformity to living a life lower than what exist in the animal kingdom will become normal. Provisions are infrequently made to combat dehumanization as releasing permanently disturbed ex-cons that continue to cost tax-payers is accepted. This equates to undeniable proof that the BOP &...
