INTERVIEW OF LACINO HAMILTON BY THE OPENING STATEMENT OS: What is the first thing you want people to know about living in prison? LACINO: That prison is an emotional and psychological torture that is far worse than any torture to the body, by design. Days and weeks and months and years of being told up is down and right is left, punished for not acquiescing, for not showing extreme deference, influences the oven/vhelming majority of imprisoned men and women to give up or give in, and become mer...

"Is the American Deus Ex Machina in Trouble?" For years billions of taxpayer... dollars have been spent building state and federal human warehouses to "combat crime and protect John and Jane Q. Public from crime." Many politicians have been elected because of advocating "get tough on crime: build more prisons - it'll mean more jobs and security for concerned citizens." Furthermore: "Let's punish repeat offenders by increasing existing or let's...

Atrium Press July 6, 2017 KNOWING WHERE WE HAVE BEEN IN ORDER TO KNOW WHERE WE ARE GOING: FROM PROTEST TO POLITICS By Lacino Hamilton As activists fighting for racial equality encounter crises similar to crises activists experienced in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, being aware of those similarities can provide a framework for questioning today’s activism. That awareness can catalyze desperately needed new approaches when inevitable problems of reaction, cooptation, insufficient knowledge and changin...

Vaughn 1 Looking Through the Windows It was an early spring morning in 1990, and as usual I was late for work. Every morning I drove to dads house and from there he and I would ride to work together. I had been working for him for several months, but it seemed to me that instead of teaching me about work he was more interested in lecturing me about slowing down with the partying and self medicating. I was eighteen years old that spring — and I was as wild as the fields that surrounded the neig...

Man Versus Beast - January 30, 2015 I stare at my freshly washed T-shirt hanging from a string clothesline against the wall. I've seen this sight a thousand times yet never seen it at all. What a pathetic shirt. Would anyone in the freeworld wear it? Probably not. Wearing it would be frowned upon, especially in a public place like a store or restaurant. Not that I think much about what's acceptable in public, but every once in a while I allow myself a little role-playing game to fil...

Carrol In Feb. 2016 a Philadelphia Pennsylvania judge overturned 51 cases brought by a tainted Philadelphia Drug Unit. Some described this as "rapid fire dismissals of old narcotics convictions...". The tainted Drug Unit had six of its officers from the citywide narcotics squad, who were themselves criminally charged of federal corruption charges, as a result of suspects they arrested an...

My Greatest Fear Jason Daugherty One of my greatest fears in life is becoming a statistic. There are currently an estimated seven million people in some form of correctional custody in the United States. Of those, two million and three hundred thousand are in jail or prison (Ross and Richards xi). Unfortunately, I am already counted among those over two million souls already in jail or prison. It is another, far more disturbing, statistic that worries me. Each year, six hundred and fifty thou...

The same loudspeaker I paid Dennis 4 Ramen noodle soups to disable a couple of weeks ago. I was hoping for a longer reprieve, but over all the money was well spent. My cage is located in such a manner as to perfectly convey the demon speaker's scream from hell. One can avoid the resulting pain with a pair of earplugs, but I ...

One of My Best Friends Is a Serial Killer by Stephen Whetzel 
 One of my best friends is a serial killer. Perhaps given his court-mandated and state-supported retirement plan, a 129-year prison sentence, I should refer to him as an ex-serial killer. Although he has not committed murder since his incarceration, the State of Indiana recently convicted him of 21 previously unsolved murder. His DNA matched a sample founcl on a corpse discovered thirteen years earlier. The media had touted the gru...

There are more than 100 feral cats living within the fences of Kirkland Correctional Institution, a state-run prison in Columbia, South Carolina. These animals have committed no crimes, but they are punished every day. People kick them, throw rocks at them, dash them with steaming hot coffee, spit o...
