There is a strange unwritten rule in prison that if somebody is willing to stick up for himself from day one then other prisoners will be willing to help him.

That old maximum-security prison, a place born of a harsher time, was never known for comforts. Therefore, whether or not I felt the need for a counseling session with Eric, my psychologist and substance abuse counselor, I looked forward...

This has been the unrelenting hate that has followed me from jail to jail, non-stop. I documented the trap that awaited me at USP Leavenworth in 1999. My so-calle...
