Peter Mehmel A Hidden Cost The eve of my son’s fifth birthday seemed especially cruel. I’m sure he woke up excited and happy to celebrate his special day, only to find that his father was gone. 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...

January 7, 2019 APWA, All I can think to write about is what its like to be illiterate most of my life, to be abandoned by public defenders and to face a wrongful conviction on only hearsay when real evidence was not allowed. 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...

An Ordeal I'm a prisoner serving consecutive life terms here in Washington State. I'm also a Christian. In the late 1980's another inmate, who was serving Life without the Possibility of Parole, told me about two rape/murders that he'd committed that he'd never been caught for. This inmates name was Michael. I asked him if anyone had been charged or convicted for the crimes. He told me not that he knew of. I thought about what Michael had shared with me. He professed ...

As I study what our founders of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights sacrificed for the freedoms most enjoy today, what went wrong with our laws for so many? I can't help but think that this culture of prisons would be a disappointment to our great ancestors who gave so much, often in blood and life. Also, as much as this is not just about me, I sometimes wonder how my life would have been different had I not lived on a farm and received a real education. But I refuse to live in self ...

Bag of Hope by Shon Pernice 
 When you enter the prison system, you are stripped of a variety of things: property, money, employment, relationships, respect, and your home. One of the biggest losses felt is your dignity. When you are talked to like you are a piece of trash - everyday for years - you start to believe it. You do not feel that you are worthy of anyone's love, support, or time. If offenders are programmed this way, it should be of no surprise what contributes to a failed sys...

BEING OFFENDED - OR BEING IN CONTROL by Edward R. Clark Being in control includes refusing to be offended by any one, any thing, or any set of circumstances. Not being offended is a way of saying, "I have control over how I'm going to feel, and I choose to feel peaceful regardless of what I observe going on." When we feel offended, we are ptacticing judgment, and judgong someone else to be stupid, insensitive. rude, arrogant, foolish or inconsiderate, we find ourselves upset an...

We started with the basics of safety, work place ethics, and resource management. Then we beg...

Its decisions are not appealable in court. An inmate may not challenge the Board’s decisions, but may challenge the process UBoPP used to reach its decisions. Meetings however are closed to the public and records of meetings are una...

The military is biased against men, if you serve in the military you have no rights. You are guilty until proven innocent, even so, you will still be convicted of a “lesser included offense”, no evidence is required to put you...
