Chances and Choices A memoir By Tabitha Lee Maynard The cinderblocks breathe and sweat, spin and jump, like they have a life of their own. The weight piles on as the volume raises. The screams of ignorance and suffering cannot drown out the noise in my head. The burns, bruises, and cuts do not cover the pain. The ringing of keys, a clink and bang; new sounds in the ocean of noise. Chow’s here, preceded by the nauseating smell of rotten food adding to the constant wet smell of mildew. On the e...

S.C.I. WAYMART, Waymart, Pa. 18472 CHRISTMAS - THANKSGIVING ON GOING DISCRIMINATIONS Apparently since my win of grievance #596611, nothing was corrected nor did defendants comply. Defendants even went further by somehow getting the inmate accounting dept. (and others) to take all my monies from Oct., Nov., Dec. 2015, and continuing. This means as well that I continued to work hard on my kitchen job for all these months, yet get NO PAY. Thruout Nov., Dec. and ongoing, I have been denied all co...

Submission Tuesday 6-9-2020 Coronavirus while incarcerated has been mentally difficult because I have nothing really to do but think and worry about when this will be over so the program can go back to the way it was. Most of the inmates I've talked to, feel that the Administration will trick us an keep things like they are now or only give us (inmates) certain privileges back. To me, I'm only getting stronger by being forced to deal head-on with my mental thoughts that would usuall...

Alice Bingner 3744 Dexter Road Ann Arbor, MI 48103 Category: Personal Essay Word Count: 2,246 Corrections: an Exercise in Futility Currently, in the United States, it costs upwards of $50,000,000,000 plus a year to incarcerate more than 2,000,000 men, women and children. And the expense by no means stops there. While 10 percent of prisoners are menaces from whom the public needs protection, the rest would be better served - and so would society - if there were alternative sentencing for non-v...

Criminal Justice System, Hypocrisy By Wesley Carroll Isn't it amazing? I and many thousands of others have been saying for many years, that the so called entire criminal justice system, is totally broken. Not until after so many of us have been wrongfully passively injured by it, and much public protest, officials now say the same thing. It has been a proven fact for many years that it is totally ineffective, broken, discriminatory, and in many cases has killed. Where is the real crimina...

Descriptions of sources of stress, and ways of coping. Where can I start about the sources of stress in here? There are so many forms of stress from the guards screaming at the top of their lungs to your family not being able to come to see you because they were 2 minutes late for the check in. That is complete bullshit if you ask me especially when your family drives 2 % hours to see you. In fact, there are a few women in here where their family members drive over 7 hours to come and see the...

There were times myself and other kids my age used to try and scale the walls to get a glimpse of what was inside, how ir...
