Bruce W. Herforth 9/5/19 A Different Type of Dictatorship Introduction: My regular correspondent recently wrote, "I was really interested to hear your report about 'prison politics.' How would you describe it, a benign dictatorship?" I was intrigued by the question and flattered by his repetition of a term that had been coined by another inmate in my Cognitive Thinking and Anger Management class. I took the bait and wrote this essay. My main role as a recently transplanted...

A Prisoner's Apology #1 In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: "Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer." Ps. 19: 14 (KJV) In his "I Have a Dream" speech, delivered on August 28, 1963 on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. mentions the State of Mississippi four times: more times than he mentions any other state i...

A Prisoners' Apology By John Apple "Understanding is the best thing in the world." - Penitentiary Proverb I have been reading Philip Weinberg's Legislative Analysis giving his negative thoughts on the effects to the general public of House Bill 585. By way of response, I feel compelled to ask for equal time and space in order to give my insights on the subject. I grew up as a child living in North Jackson, but when people ask me where I'm from, I tell them I'm fr...

- I Cant Breathe - July 2020 I am a white male born in '94 and I grew up in several neighborhoods dominantly populated by African Americans. So needless to say I have seen the mistreatment done to them. I've seen the favoritism of being let go by police officers while my friends were "detained" and harassed. I have also been on the other side and been mistreated because of my skin color by the African American population even if I didnt do anything or say anything racist. ...

Manners & Respect July 2020 Manners and respect can be the difference between a good day or ending it in an ICU room at the hospital in prison. I once witnessed a man get split open from his forehead down to his chin within five punches for neglecting to say excuse me or acknowledge he bumped into the man he was passing by. I've watched riots erupt over the lack of respect to let a man stand up after being knocked down in a fight. I've seen multiple people stabbed for calling so...

Mississippi Prison Insanity The insanity of the Mississippi prison system never ceases to amaze me. Central Mississippi Correctional Facility is a prime example of how far down the prison system has fallen. The facility is able to house 928 women and more than 2000 male and juvenile offenders combined. At one point in time there was structure and order at this facility, but time and people have turned order into chaos. Many of the rules that are in place here have been allowed to be broken on...

Take a Knee Justus Freemen May 31st 2020 Sometimes in life you must take a knee... "Take a Knee" (as in) stand for what is right and what you believe in. (CK) Allow this world to learn and also grow from the loved & respected man George Floyd, "who also took a knee to the side of his neck for way too long." (Rip Mr. Floyd) You are gone but never forgotten. My love & utmost respect to you, your family and friends *please Stop Police Brutality and the abuse of author...

The Heart of a Slave: (The Long Way Home Is The Best Way Home) In life, you have to know what your gift is. My gift is my ability to foresee believability. People tell me that I have a keen eye for what is believable: it is the eye of the common man who has walked with kings. I also have the same eye as a penitentiary organization (gang) leader, although I am not affiliated. (Like St. Paul. I am a deceiver, yet true! 2 Cor. 6:8). My skills are an asset in the entertainment industry, because I...

John P. Alexander The Light Bulb (With thanks to Thomas Edison & MLKjr) "The sons of this age are more shrewd in relation to their own kind than the sons of light" - Luke 16:8 (NASB) When Jesus Christ of Nazareth died on the cross, He finished His work on the Earth (John 19:30). The Holy Spirit is still working but God expects us humans to do our parts in order to hasten the coming of His kingdom. This includes regular prayers, reading Scripture in order to acquire wisdom, being...

"Them Versus Us" by Charles Higgins As I begin with this detailed narritive, there's a reason why I go all the way back to the very beginning. I want the reader to understand why, without losing their direction. Yet, with that same thought in mind, I would rather show you that this isn't an extraordinary event. It happens more often than people would like to believe. For myself, infamy had come well before the case that sent me to prison this time had even happened. Althou...
