A Colossal Disparity In The Florida Prison System By AKA Kingsta January 16, 2018 I understand I was sentenced to serve time in the Florida Department of Corrections (FDOC) even though I was wrongfully convicted. However, a prison sentence subjecting me to cruel and unusual punishment and unequal treatment violates both federal and state constitutions and Florida state law. At the very moment I stepped off the large bus (blue bird) at the reception and medical center of Lake Butler Correction...

An Irrepairable Mind? In this notification it is my intentions to convey to you certain indisputable facts that should be considered, as well as pose logical questions that are indeed in need of sincere answer. To whom can it be said to have an "irrepairable mind"? Is it the "criminal" who at a young age imitated some of his T.V./movie star idols - by finding a gun - and shooting a person and now sits in prison for life? Is it the person who robbed a bank? Invaded a home? ...

Are You Kidding?!: A Lifer's View of the Death Penalty By: James Doyle Some time ago, I sat alone in my prison cell reading a Christian magazine. One article in particular caught my eye. It was entitled, "Rethinking the Death Penalty." In it, the author laid out his polemic against the death penalty. Nothing new, he presented the same vague generalities and shallow understanding of the issue I have heard for years. However, he made one statement that really shocked me. Arguing ...

Breaking the Cycle By Ryan M.

Statistics vary, but out of the 100,000 men and women incarcerated in the Florida Department of Corrections, approximately 75% will come back as a re- offender in their lifetime.

Broken? 6-1-18 Some people claim that our criminal justice system is horribly broken, and to most Americans that probably deserves a nod of recognition for the appearance of truth it presents to our general public. Lets look at it from that perspective for a minute. Most prisons in the United States are extremely unsafe places to both live and work. The facilities for the most part are out dated and in disrepair, due to lack of funding by the state and Federal government. Training for the off...

Color my World by A. Scott Lagano The morning sun languishes through the once verdant southern forest, now transposed to a morose insalubrious monotone of gray by the winter's lack of rain and the seemingly perpetual and unseasonable Florida heat. A persistent daybreak fog only adds to the ghost-like dawn. What was once a vivid burst of life now struggles in thirst and identity. Winter's death, even among the evergreen pines, offers little promise. The only hint of the day's fa...

For those who wish to know the whys and wherefores of this brokenness there are a number of sources of information. The question this essay will look at is - How do we limit the amount of crime? Step one is rather obvious. Rules of behavior, with suitable responses for the violation thereof, are established. Step two is also obvious. These rules are taught to each individual in the community. Step thr...

Examples of "Perfect Criminal" by James W. Harkleroad The "perfect criminal" is that individual who is never held responsible by society, for the crime he, or she, has committed. The "perfect criminal" is a very rare bird of prey, and the reason for that rarity can be seen in the following examples. The "stranger": Absolutely no connection between criminal and victim other than the crime itself. The "accident maker": victim injured/dies from a...

It's like a sadness so deep within that it can never be lifted; a heart of heaviness which mere words cannot express. It becomes an exercise in futility to seek a promise land when you're cut off from society, taken away from your family, separated from your friends, co-workers, peers, and isolated by yourself.
