37 by Danny Cherry 37 by Danny Cherry pg. 1 My thirty-seventh birthday – February 18, 2020 – had been quite memorable; All things considered. The goddess Audrey Hepburn and I had eaten "Breakfast at Tiffany's" five days before. The pass I received on my birthday to the infirmary provided an opportunity for me to promote my work published in the Archive. The dentist entered urgent care just as I was exiting. "Did you enjoy reading the piece I gave you sir?" He had made...

A Pollyana in the Penitentiary by Danny Cherry As I sat reading Executive Regional Director Michael Osburn's response, I just shook my head and chuckled. I was way beyond the point of disgust given all that had happened up until that point. Writing the commissioner had always proven itself to be an exercise in futility, however, my conscious reasoning would never allow me to rest unless I dissented from the recidivistic conditioning of the Indiana State Reformatory. Initially, I became d...

A Cesspool Full of Drecks by Danny Cherry As I lay there in excruciating agony caused by the severe infection that had resulted from my untreated burns, I tried very hard not to cry. My salted tears only exacerbated the wounds on the left side of my face. The pain was crippling; it paralyzed me. My wounds bled profusely and oozed puss incessantly. My sheet and blanket were ruined -- stained with the essence of my tortured being. I wondered how much more that my body could bear before it yield...

"A GAY MAN IN PRISON" First of all, I want to start off by letting you know something about my- self. I am a gay male serving time in federal prison, I will be here until the date of March 17, 2019, unless the laws change and I get some relief, or if I get clemency form the President of the United States. Since I do not see the later two items happening in a way that will benefit me, then I am counting on the March 2019 date. Life in a federal prison for a gay man is not as good as ...

Advanced Recidivism Conditioning by Danny Cherry I had been torn from my sleep again by the continuous music that had blared from multiple offender's tablets, since they had been introduced into the Indiana State Reformatory - I was exhausted and sleep deprived. I would not have cared too much if the surrounding offenders had elected to blast symphonies, but they had chosen to broadcast toxic rap songs that promoted illegal drug distribution, illegal drug use, violence and sexual promisc...

Most would discredit me saying, ”He’s just a drug addict with a criminal history hollering about injustices. He is not a viable source of information or opinion. His mind is just spewing out a bunch of fanaticized, abstract, obscure ideas that are unrelated and have no value or truth.” However, being in prison for possessio...

An Erudite's Antirecidivism Medications by Danny Cherry As the virulence of recidivism continued to run rampant through the Indiana Department of Correction, I did not cease from combating it with cultural medicines; I refused to allow myself to become infected. Although I was exceeding poor, I still made financial sacrifices in order to positively maintain my intellectual and emotional health. Pendleton's staff's refusal, for well over three months, to send money that I had tr...

Another One Bites The Dust... And down goes NY Gov. Eliot Spitzer, Mr. Law and Order. Not only did the Crime—Fighting Crusader cheat on his wife, but he used his government position and its resources to conceal his repeated purchases of women's services. He learned a little over the years as he vigorously prosecuted prostitution rings, but apparently not enough to get away with it himself. We see this hypocrisy all the time, and the usual response is, "How tragic. The poor (rich) ma...

The movement to bring forth colored persons, and many ot...

The Attica Riot of 1971 was a prisoners' response to the inhumane conditions and abuses suffered at the hands of "corrections." The response to injustice is though only part of the equation. The transformative process began in the 1950s out of the struggle by African-Americans for civil rights. 1952 alone saw 25 serious riots which threatened the fo...

Beautiful Enemies by Danny Cherry pg. 1 I finally understood how sane women could have loved men like Christopher Columbus and Adolf Hitler; I had strong physical attractions to a few of Pendleton's tyrants. The equilibrium of love and lust I felt for them was a by-product of my loneliness -- great solace came whenever I saw or though of sexually clandestined escapes with those forbidden lovers. Cruel despots -- the most handsome men I had ever seen, consumed me in my moments of despair;...

The prison at Mason serves as a holding spot for prisoners waiting to go to trial, to another prison or,in the age of trump, to an ICE facility. The prison is owned and operated by Corrections Corporation of America. CCA recently changed it's name to CoreCivic as a prelude to expanding it's reach...

Concentration Camp by Danny Cherry I imagined the inhumanity that Anne Frank witnessed and endured, as we chronic care prisoners were being herded through Pendleton's cafeteria to receive flu shots. Indescribable fear paralyzed me; medical staff threw used syringes onto tables where we would be eating later; I had HIV, my blood alone was a deadly weapon. Rapid thoughts raced in my mind, as I pondered what infectious diseases flowed through the veins of the remaining multitude. I requeste...

The first thing I noticed upon arrival was the drastic change in temperature. In Memphis, it was so warm, I could’ve worn shorts on Christmas Day, whereas here, I was greeted by an arctic blast of air as soon as I stepped off the plane. It was a good thing the transport van was waiting, otherwise I would’ve...

Danny Cherry IN 2-13-19 Dear APWA Editors, Every member of the human race is entitled to dignity and equality. That being said, I am not an "incarcerated [writer]," I am a writer who is incarcerated. To expound—without a doubt—would be an exercise in futility, especially to marginalized people suffering from delusions of superiority over members of the population whom have been disenfranchised by crime. Such prejudice against prisoners is unbecoming, degrading, but worst of all segr...

Excerpt from: Incite By Raymond A. Grenier RaymondGrenier.com xrayvision2005@gmail.com Smashing sounds of an enormous steel door clamping shut on my heels cause me to shutter. The crash reverberates throughout the expanse of cement and metal. Ten heads turn in unison. Motionless bodies seated along steel benches and propped against gray painted cinderblock walls begin to nudge each other with elbows and knees. I avert my glance to the foot-worn concrete path leading through the jumpsuit-clad ...

"Father Alert" One of the most effective systems which we have today to locate missing or abducted children is the Amber Alert. Though the use of the national system rose out of tragedy, its current use has facilitated the return of countless children. In a way, we are facing a similar problem: missing fathers. And maybe it is time to create a Father Alert system. I know where we can begin to implement such a system — U.S. prisons. The U.S. prison system houses millions of men; mill...
