28 Days From Nirvana By George Kayer My condition is so rare, on the North American continent less than 3,400 people are stricken by it. The population of this continent: home to Canada, Mexico and the U.S.A. is estimated at half a billion people . Through government reports, we know it's found in only 36 areas in the United States.

I needed to get my 4-year old nephew Carter on my visit list so my parents, who were traveling across the state of South Dakota to visit me with him could get in to see me. I contacted the Unit Coordina...

A deaf person would probably welcome it, but I'm sure that it has driven many men mad at its extreme! Noise; all kinds of and all levels and durations. Music is simply noise of another kind to some and not all singing is truly welcome. On an air craft carrier the noise is not just loud in decibels, but nearly constant with launch and recovery operations around the clock. In prison, the noise is both loud and persistent with a little easing of the din in early morning hours. Normally, the...

I can’t imagine how my wife, six months pregnant with our daughter, managed to find the words to tell him. The party arrangements were done, the cake safely stashed, we’d confirmed who would attend and even had a few bucks left over. That evening friends were playing in a band at a local bar. Maybe eve...

I thought I was too smart, too educated, too worldly to let anyone 'trick' me into their 'system'. Sitting here now with a life + ten year sentence, I have plenty of time to contemplate, elucidate and expound on things urbane, sublime and just plain insane as I continue to 'serve' time. By now, (10 years into my bid) it doesn't really matter that I didn&apo...

I truley believe when the need for somekind of meaningful human contact become's an impossibility, a soul ca...

About 5 am, a black race person got in the cell and asked for the person he was going to hit. He found him in his bed and hit him. He left calmly and right away to the place where he lived. Later, they found him and put him in the hole. It was his punishment. Soon the injured person asked for help to the security official and they put him in the hospital for his...

March 25, 2018 Robert Johan Richter Title: Addicted To Violence Prison is a great place to witness all kinds of addictions, and how far they drive their victims. Prisoners sell their meals for cigarettes, and their bodies for drugs. The most common addiction doesn't involve drugs, porn, or anything you can buy or sell. Many people, both prisoners and guards, are addicted to violence. There is a big difference, however; the guards almost never face any kind of punishment. Why do people li...

I can't imagine anyone interested in what it took to learn to read and write, the hell I lived through since December 20, 1990. Lets be honest, people are always too willing to believe the worst. I suppose it helps shape the world in their eyes. I still do not belie...
