A Bottle of Contradictions by Dortell Williams Is it me, or is the sentence of life without the possibility a bottle of contradictions? Perhaps the bottle should say "Break in case of emergency!" The Legislature wrote the law implying that I am - that we are - incorrigible. So the prison system excludes us from every meaningful rehabilitative program: trades, jobs with career paths, and even some self-help programs. In spite of these impediments, many of us have achieved remarkable ...

Title: "A Boy Who Was Lost and Grew Up Fast (Faith in Believing; God is Waiting for Us)" From [Car BA] Hall: Never learned this world's education. Never knew English.

A brand new beginning awaits us all By Darrell Sharpe, MA The windows here at the MCI Norfolk Prison-Security Housing unity extend from floor to ceiling, about eight feet high. They're only five inches wide-impossible for anyone to escape through, and the glass is clear. That surprised me. Most segregation units I've landed in have cell windows that are completely frosted over from the outside, making it impossible to look through them. But here at MCI Norfolk we have lots of beauti...

A Brief Deconstruction of America’s Leviathan INTRODUCTION Recently, I had cause to consider the following two—part question: The goals of criminal punishment include retribution (giving people what they deserve), deterrence (discouraging future crimes), and rehabilitation (improving behavior). What purpose, if any, has your time in prison served? Should any of these purposes be emphasized more? At first, its sophomoric quality invited a dismissive chuckle but a second reading encouraged a mo...

A Brief History of Administrative Segregation in Texas By: Joe Feijoo “Ad. Seg.” Is short for Administrative Segregation. (ad-seg). The commonly held understanding of solitary confinement defines ad-seg. It is, at best, the most grim form of incarceration and is reserved for offenders who exhibit behavior that is harmful to themselves, other offenders, staff or prison facilities. It is an enhanced method of punishment within the institution of punishment. The guidelines for putting an offender ...

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...

The place where all the 'bad' people get sent to... yep, that place. How did I come about to be raise there? Not, because I was birthed badly, nor were my surroundings such, though, it was. There are many who've come from far worse situations and made good. So I will not provide some sort of excuse as to why...

Part One Do I agree with Freda Adler’s quote that “[ a] crime is anything that a group in power chooses to prohibit”? In the context of our American democracy, Adler’s quote is pretty close to an exact definition of how an act that is perceived to be wrong is codified into a body of penal laws.1 An elected body of legislators, i.e. the “group in power”, determines what public wrongs should be deemed wrong enough to be labeled a crime and, as such, carry along with them punitive measures. When A...

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...

Donald D. Hairgrove Alabama A Day in Life Doing time in prison is more than a falling away of the days into months, months into years and years into decades. It's a period of a prisoner's life that disappears into the shadow land of never before known loneliness, dispair and anger. No man is ever prepared to do time in prison, no matter what his background. Once inside he will be in awe by the savagery of the inmates and astounded by the callous and brutal indifference of the prison...

These men do so without any consideration for those still trying to sleep or pass through. I step across the threshold and into a room with two rows of sinks where all sorts of men — white, black, Mexican, t...

A deaf person would probably welcome it, but I'm sure that it has driven many men mad at its extreme! Noise; all kinds of and all levels and durations. Music is simply noise of another kind to some and not all singing is truly welcome. On an air craft carrier the noise is not just loud in decibels, but nearly constant with launch and recovery operations around the clock. In prison, the noise is both loud and persistent with a little easing of the din in early morning hours. Normally, the...

Keith Burley Pennsylvania A Definition of freedom One form of freedom is the ability to recognize the truth. For when someone has the ability to recognize the truth, he is free from an intellectual perspective, and a rational perspective. It is a form of "MENTAL ENSLAVEMENT" when someone knows the truth, yet does not recognize it. Consider someone with an addiction to cigarette's. He knows that they are poisonous in that they cause cancer and other ailments. However, if this pe...

My crime was that I participated in a kidnapping at the urging of the 47 year old man who befriended me at summer camp when I was a child and had been the lone parental figure in my life since bringing me to the United States ...
