1969 Nineteen Sixty Nine was the year that everything in my world changed. This was the year that I lost my innocence, my journey into adulthood, the most transformative year of my life; my trip down the “Rabbit Hole,” so to speak. For me, it was the most important year of my life. I was 16 and very seriously trying to be an adult. It wasn’t working out as well as I wanted it to. I was trying to do too much for my age, education and worldly experience. Innocence, once lost, can never be regai...

Jon R Morgan IL Age, Nothing But An !DOC# I've been imprisoned since age 14 in 1995. Being a murderer, I've earned it. I'm serving 58yrs and 17yrs at the rate of 50% for good behavior, for a total of 37 1/2yrs, which will make me 52 before my release. And that's a blessing, since the maximum may have been 60yrs and 20yrs--perhaps if l had been a hardened adult, a career criminal, maybe a gang member, drug dealer, or addict. I thank God the judge used his discretion to cons...

As if the World Ended Tomorrow #1 Sometimes I think what if the world ended tomorrow where would that leave us. In this age with HIV/AIDS and now the Coronavirus where does that leave society. Late at night alone in my bunk I think about my future as if the world ended tomorrow. This means I live for today and today I'm a nobody plain and simple. I have to admit at points in my life this nobody was very content because in my eyes I was the king of nobodies fixated on destroying my unexpl...

First off, let me say, I'm a litigator, as in I file grievances and lawsuits, because of this I have acquired a good amount of legal work. So one day I get transferred to this unit in Malvern. When I get here I'm told I can't keep all my legal work and I try to explain that I had active cases but he, the Lt., didn't ca...

#1 At night I shake my foot or rock myself to sleep which ever you call it. So deep down Im still a baby right? This thought just crossed my mind as I was frozen in time you can never go back or understand why you made the dumbest choice thinking it was smart. Have you ever been 51/50? Thats criminally insane, its the edge where you dont care the outcome as long as you reive the gradification you meant or didnt think you would recive. People call us crazy cause we get tired of no's and s...

Chances and Choices A memoir By Tabitha Lee Maynard The cinderblocks breathe and sweat, spin and jump, like they have a life of their own. The weight piles on as the volume raises. The screams of ignorance and suffering cannot drown out the noise in my head. The burns, bruises, and cuts do not cover the pain. The ringing of keys, a clink and bang; new sounds in the ocean of noise. Chow’s here, preceded by the nauseating smell of rotten food adding to the constant wet smell of mildew. On the e...

Do Faiello Word Count: 4850 Contrapasso In the middle of my life, at the age of forty-four, I found myself on a plane, sandwiched between two DoS* Marshals. I was being extradited from Costa Rica to face charges in New York. The rain forest and live volcanoes gave way to concrete laced with razor wire. After languishing on Rikers Island for a year and a half awaiting trial, I pled guilty to first degree assault. Sentenced to twenty years, I was grateful to leave Rikers. Twenty years of incarc...

Items such as writing paper, note books, journals, stationery, box cards, envelopes, etc. We could even purchase them by direct order with a payment from our Trust Fund Account. 7.1 TDCJ decided it wanted to curb what inmates could get and from whom. Now, we must buy paper, cards, envelopes etc, from the unit commissary. TDCJ made product from TDCJ ran print shops. Our famil...

Dear Readers, Many of you wonder how the inside of a prison facility is. Maybe many of you guys have an idea. Which is made up of experiences from a male that was incarcerated. Only if you guys knew that our image of being able to smoke, inmates sticking together, food being good, and one thing above all of that is once you get out your time time given to you: you do it and get out. How wrong we were! Not only that it gets so much worse for a female inmate. My name is Maria Elena Magana and I...

#1 Deep down I dont understand why society attempts to pretend they dont know the answer to the crime rate. let see are there jobs? How many people are on food stamps? Or Obamacare? Can you leave your house without seeing a man with a sign asking for money? Or just laying on the side of the road? Public service announcement!! Thats not normal because when society started learning to build, we learned to build shelter. We may throw coins out the window or let them wash your window but if they ...

Descriptions of sources of stress, and ways of coping. Where can I start about the sources of stress in here? There are so many forms of stress from the guards screaming at the top of their lungs to your family not being able to come to see you because they were 2 minutes late for the check in. That is complete bullshit if you ask me especially when your family drives 2 % hours to see you. In fact, there are a few women in here where their family members drive over 7 hours to come and see the...

I started in reception at (CIM) Chino State Prison in the city of Chino, California. The prison was open in 1944, so it's been some time that this prison has been open. When I arrived there it was in 2018 and it smelled and looked awful. It felt like a condemned place. Right when you arrive in central (entrance) of the institution it did...

Then there are nonpaid jobs which these people receive goodies like drink mix and what not. There are the rest of the kitchen workers that are not paid. I believe that there are 3 to 4 people in the kitchen who isn't paid. In addition, a floor crew does the floors...

Prison is peppered with waiting, twenty plus years of maximum security captivity has habituated me to this reality. But this is different, this wait is for a pending HIV test. A critical screening, precipitated by a sexual assault. A tacit insult heaped atop an acute injury, regardless of endgame result. The consequences of a positive reading weigh heavily upon me. I know...
