7My voice through the prison walls By: Inmate Ricky Vincent Pendleton II I think rehabilitation is a propaganda word used by the lawmakers to cover their motives Exploiting the inmates in a business venture. The whole prison industry is a "for profit" industry; from my reading is a billion dollars industry. How am I supposed to cope in here and seeing the corrupt acts of people...? I have to control the things in my life. Rehabilitation is on the individual prisoner, he/she has to d...

Minnesota Experience Qualitative Analysis of Minnesota Department of Corrections Policy Maurece Graham A Minnesota Experience {Excerpted from larger work} By Maurece L. Graham © October 11, 2017 Since this addendum is composed from the perspective of a correctional client versus that of a correctional official, little attention has been paid to traditional penal models. Instead, most of the focus is upon conveying the actual experience of incarceration itself, with as much objectivity as poss...

"A Black Man Trapped" The life some of us live, is the cause for our paranoia, pain and stress. Our parents think that we're insane and that we're not capable of learning life. life is the key to success, but with success there's a serious price, which perhaps many men don't want. I represent for the life that made me a problem child and the soldiers on the streets who are trying to survive the jungle that goes on in the ghettos/or jungle. They don't believe...

A Short Treatise on Reality By Maakneril I.K. Bey © 2015 Within the culture that we, as young Asiatic (so called Black, Brown, Indian, etc.) men in America, now surround and submerge ourselves are a multitude of misconceptions. Amongst the slums and poverty-stricken neighborhoods of every city, town, and/or municipality are, as one example, men who pride themselves on being “real” or “real niggaz”; and this very mentality has not only contributed to the masses of Asiatic men now incarcerated ...

A speed trap in a small Midwestern town, circa 1952. That is how I equate the current state of criminal justice in the United States today. The unsuspecting citizen who explores his options in other states and has little or no roots in the area is easy prey forvictimization by the system. The long-hair, the African American, the female, any outsider, even someone like a young independent boy with sagging trousers and an in-your- face sound system in his car thumping rap music — these are the ...

A Supreme Manifestation of Wisdom by Maakneru [ineligible] Bey @2016 Not long ago I was asked a question that I could not possibly answer without some thought. I don't like to bound myself within the understandings or perceptions of another, so responding with a prefabricated or cliched answer was out of the realm of possibility. As "Maakneru" I try to remain in that reality; that is as pure and honest with myself and the spirit within as I could be and thus manifesting the sam...

Essays by Eric Volume One A View From Inside I never expected to be in prison. I felt I was too slick. 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...

"A Woman's Worth" by Richard Atkins Jr. High Desert State Prison May 12, 2019 A woman's worth. The worth of the world and for all mankind. 'cause without a woman having us men backs we will not live in peace. We have to embrace their strength, their beauty from within and the unconditional love they represent. When I think of a lion, the king of the jungles of Africa, I think of the strength that all women possess. My beautiful mother gave me beauty as an African-Amer...

9/30/2015 Advice for those new to prison By Cedric B. Theus I have been asked many times about how I got through almost twenty years in prison with my mind, body and spirit still in good condition. New prisoners often seek guidance from “veteran prisoners” on how to conduct themselves in order to minimize problems. That is the purpose of this composition. Losing one’s freedom is one of the most traumatic experiences that a normal person can have. It is in the nature of most animals to resist ...

“Afraid To Love Myself” By Richard Atkins Jr. July 9, 2019 An unexamined life is not worth living. I had to speak that truth, that fact, first and foremost. The strong is dying to live while the weak lives to die. I was the weak living to die. I was insecure and immature to the point where I could care less whether I lived or died yesterday. My hate was a loaded weapon and as hard as my mother tried to comfort and love me unconditionally, I still was able to see my death around the corner. Th...

Jon R Morgan IL Age, Nothing But An !DOC# I've been imprisoned since age 14 in 1995. Being a murderer, I've earned it. I'm serving 58yrs and 17yrs at the rate of 50% for good behavior, for a total of 37 1/2yrs, which will make me 52 before my release. And that's a blessing, since the maximum may have been 60yrs and 20yrs--perhaps if l had been a hardened adult, a career criminal, maybe a gang member, drug dealer, or addict. I thank God the judge used his discretion to cons...

However I have had some of my works published in various locations and have even received State and national recognition. I have had a fair amount of formal and informal study, training and actual experience in various communications fields. So you may say I have achieved the level of amateur or freelancer. But enough about me. Let's get down...

We look to our government for justice. Judgement and Justice do not share the same bed; though they frequently work together and are often seen in each others company. In the minds of babes, the seeds of Justice are planted; along with the directions on where and how to find it. In this country as children, we grow and le...
