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...

A Daoist Interpretation of The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali I recently read The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, translated by James Haughton Woods, 1927, with interest. Not expecting a fresh insight because it was an unabridged republication from almost a hundred years ago, I wasn't shocked to find this text true to the writing style of an earlier time. Personal experience on unrelated adventures greatly assisted in my understanding of this text. Many years ago and housed in a four man cell with t...

Santiago Soto California "A Double Standard System of Justice" According to the political propaganda I belong to the worst of the worst human beings that deserves to be locked up for the rest of my life. Once, the prison system was incorporated to the country's economy (i.e. created jobs); all rehabilitation went out of the picture. The lockdowns became longer, riots, attempt to murders, and murder became regular and normal. All of California's level four maximum security ...

I am a gay male serving time in federal prison, I will be here until the date of March 17, 2019, unless the laws change and I get some relief, or if I get clemency form the President of the United States. Since I do not see the later two items happening in a way that will benefit me, then I am counting on the March 2019 date. Life in a federal prison for a gay man is not as good as ...

Only later after I brushed my teeth did someone exclaim "Hey, it's snowing." Today is Wednesday and it would be a good day! For the last several months, Wednesday is always a good day! R...

A Short Treatise on Reality By Maakneril I.K.

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 ...

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...

American Prison: The Largest Sinkhole of Taxpayer Dollars in History A recent report called "Follow the Money of Mass Incarceration" says taxpayers spend approximately 182 billion dollars per year on incarceration. That is 182, followed by 9 zeros. Numbers that large are difficult to comprehend. I mean a lot of calculators don't have screens that wide!
