* CHOICES & ALTERNATIVES By Hr. Tracy Glenn * June 22, 2014 There are many alternatives to the choices I've made of the past.

Coping with Stress in Prison Living a restrained life in prison is very stressful and takes a toll on my mental well-being. I never imagined as a youth growing up in the Bronx that I would be sitting in prison serving a 55 year de facto life sentence for a crime I had no involvement in. The state of Maryland judicial system is categorically infected with unrepentant racism. The laws are enforced unequally, the courts are inherently racist, and the prison population illustrates the disproporti...

So when they commit ...
