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. The mortality rate is 40% to 93% depending on a state's resources and its government's willingness to aggressively combat this rare condition. Rega...

A Plea for Attention to an Injustice — Robert Navarro Where do I even begin and what do I say? Let me begin with some general questions and observations about ourjustice system today and how it works: Justice is defined as: 1) Just conduct, 2) Fairness, 3) Exercise of authority in the maintenance of right, 4) Judicial proceedings, 5) Magistrate, Judge. 1-3: uprightness, righteousness, decency, correctness, fair playing, lawfulness, equity Yet when you look at my conviction one will wonder whe...

Arizona Being Mentally Ill in Prison and Not Knowing What is Going On A true story I was there—this guy was 2 cells down from me. Imagine you are sooo mental not there every time you poop you smear your poop all over your cell walls and floor and staff refuses to clean up your cell and leaves you in that cell 24-7-365—and makes you eat in your cell with poop all over the walls and your body—once a week or so you are forcibly removed from your cell and the cell sort of cleaned any you force sh...

Free internet access for all humans should be a basic human right like freedom is. Then all humans can educate themselves for free with all free education courses out there- MOOC - Massive Open Online Courses. To pay for this put a small tax on all internet transactions - that will pay for buying the cell phone companies and for maintenance and upgrades. If the telecoms resist this just buy the smallest wireless company and the sales pitch is - look if you use our service when the investment ...

After having served 3 prior terms in D.O.C I have unfortunately become accustomed to the living conditions and way of life for those who experience incarceration in the Arizona Department of Corrections.

[no title] Is lady justice really blind? According to the United States Supreme court, the prosecutor's goal "Is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done". 1 Shockingly in many instances this is not the case. Prosecutors are known to go to extreme ends to obtain a conviction. For example in Maricopa County, Arizona, prosecutors are notorious for using jail-house informants - with no prior relationship to defendants - as witnesses in a trial. These informants...

Let me share my personal story and experiences in the corrupt Arizona Department of Corrections. Money over human rights and basic human compassion runs deep. Let's start out by saying that yes, I'm a inmate who was found guilty by trail and was sent to prison as punishment, not for punishment. I would like to start out by stating a few things that made me start to think about all of this. Arizona State was sued by the teachers and the Department of Education and won 392 or so milli...

Medical Un-Care? By Steven P. Arthur Do prison medical staff members care about their patients? This is a question I have heard asked for many years, but rarely responded to with an informed answer. I have a unique perspective on the subject. Prior to my incarceration, I was employed for over a decade as a paramedic crew member of flight teams that transported critical care patients by aircraft and ambulances similar to what you see everyday, racing through city streets. I had the privilege t...

Misrepresentations and Blatant Lies of Prison Medical Care By Steven P. Arthur There are many decisions to be weighed during the negotiations and penalty phase of a criminal conviction. The length of sentence, location of incarceration, security level, and available resources in a particular system, to name a few. One of the most important of these decisions of available resources, if not the most important, is medical care. During my court proceedings I was given the option of sentencing in ...

I would like to share my experience and view on the meals and food servers who serve all throughout the state prisons of Arizona. In 2010 I was sentenced and sent to prison. My first impression of the 3 hot meals (then) was a good one. The meals were wholesome then, but within the years someone with control over the meals decided that 2 hot meals and a col...

Alejandro Quintana Arizona Next Week Profit over Justice “Prison has become more profit than justice.” Every year taxpayers are given a bill to pay by their state penitentiaries. The amount is derived by an average of the base sum of $33,000, a figure which is estimated by the D.O.C to be the amount of money it takes to house an average non-violent inmate. Within the bill footed by taxpayers every last detail is included so why is it that D.O.C still charges $2.00 per month utilities and %1 o...

"No More Excuses" Why I believe self—improvement is important. By Steven P. Arthur The importance of self—improvement can be summed up in a word. That word is change. Change is inevitable, whether it is something that happens to you or something you affect yourself. The scenario that you currently find yourself in is the direct result of changes in your life and the choices you have made. Self—improvement is a choice that comes in many forms. The most important are, the improvement ...

NO TITLE May 04th, 2017 Out of the millions of inmates that are in and out of prisons and county jails around this country, I from a first hand experience viewpoint will boldly proclaim that more than 90% of this population is a victim of mental illness. I was 10 1/2 years old the first time I was arrested and placed in a juvenile detention center. Unlike most of the other stories you hear, I was raised in a home with a mother and step father, neither of them abused drugs or alcohol. Everythi...

3-3-18 Perspective by Mike Gillaspie Ace Backwords said it best when he said the $7 Philly cheese steak sandwich was a treasure of culinary delight, until a person stuck it on top of a trash-can and reduced it to a piece of garbage. Is that what happens when someone goes to prison? I remember when I began my 25 year sentence. I thought there's no way I can do a lifetime in a cage. I told my mother I'd rather risk it all to live free or die in the wire than live life in chains. In 19...

[NO TITLE] Prison life, geez, where to begin. It’s everything it’s cracked up to be. It’s dehumanizing and it’s a very lonely experience despite being crammed together such that you are rarely more than 8 feet away from someone. The questionnaire mentioned psychological survival. I found it amazing the shift someone like me has to make from the real world, where I was a respected professional, to here, where I’m clearly not. I had to figure out what and who I was again.
