"You bitched up!" a nazi wanna-be named "T-Ball" spat at me, right after he threw a tumbler full of his shit and piss on me through the many holes of my cell front. I was surprised because "solid ass woods" in general population are not supposed to handle business like that. But as you read on, hypocrisy is rampant in this place. "T-Ball" was a pod porter. And that night he was let out to work. The officer in the control room is supposed to stay in the ...

You don't know what an addict is I sat across from a prison psychologist who explained to me that my addiction will convey a life of prison. I asked, "how do you control your addiction and not let it burden you?" He said; "I'm not an addict." I explained to him the definition of "addict"(Definition: "To devote or surrender [oneself] to something habitually or excessively"). Then I pointed out that his cup of coffee is by definition a substance...

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR by Timothy J. Muise * * * * * * * Did you ever see a monkey dance under the orders of his "grinder" for some meager coins from some onlookers? The ape has been removed from all the splender of a free-range beast in the jungle and reduced to a clown in order to put brass in pocket. What does this remind me of? It reminds of how this latest batch of guard recruits, yes folks they have hired a whole new pack of layabouts, dance for their "grinder" ser...

[NO TITLE] My Friends, You know, I'm nothing like the guy that lead me to this place. The old me was 25 years old - and now I'm a much wiser 47. As I grow older I find myself enjoying reading more; and I love to learn new things. I try to keep myself mentally stimulated, but my captors are making it increasingly difficult. When I first got locked up in 1997, things were a lot different. Wasn't much thought given to comfort, or items of comfort. Today (2019) there are many attem...

You'll Be OK by Stephen Whetzel The van sliced through the dense morning fog like a jet through vapor. It was dark, the mood somber, as ten of us, two guards and eight prisoners rode in a terrible silence. Icy air . streaming in from a slightly opened window numbed my face. I shivered with cold, uncertainty, and dread. My heart, fueled by fear and anger and adrenaline, raced like that speeding van down the highway. l didn't know where we were headed, but I knew that by the end of th...

Young, Poor, Black, Male (Potentially Dangerous), and Irrelevant By Kenneth West If you can imagine being 19, innocent, yet found guilty by a jury of any and everything but your peers, and subsequently sentenced to a 120 years in prison; then perhaps you can understand the deep seated place of pain this essay comes from. However if you are incapable of such an imaginative leap, which most people are, then I fear that what I write will only be connected lines of text that our brains recognize ...

YOUR WILL IS MY VOTE; A CANDIDATE WHO WILL REPRESENT YOUR INTERESTS David Scott Harrison, (c) 2010 Candidates for political office woo voters with empty promises of zealous representation and a brighter future. Such candidates morph into elected politicians who, by nature, are an unctuous assortment of cads and scoundrels. Once elected, politicians wave good--bye and depart for far away places (e.g., Washington) of concentrated power and self--interest. In time, however, politicians are faced...

Youth Suicide “We all have dispositions and personalities and we seem to have innate tendencies either toward seeing more of the bright side or more of the dark side.”* As in youth suicides or any suicide, this person sees more of the dark side of their life. It overruns them, consumes their very existence. With any suicide, young or old, losing that person is a major loss. As with drugs and alcohol, we are slowly committing suicide but at a snail’s pace. We also see the dark side of life. Th...

I have decided to fulfill this honor by submitting a piece every six months to a year, hopefully creating a series within the archive. As long as the staff @ APWA accepts these essays, that's what should be expected of me unless the system I am in decides to interfere. And though I am not saying that there's a great possibility of impediment by som...
