Essay: What a move that they make: An unfair practice that the administration make at the Mount Olive Correctional Complex What a move that they make: An unfair practice that the Administration make at the Mount Olive Correctional Complex What I do see with the episode that goes on in this place is so unfair. It also seems to me that most of these personnel don't know what they are doing as far as their job description goes. They seem to not doing a good job as far as their job descripti...

What is a Washington State Inmate A inmate is a individual alone on an island of despair, a drifting sea of disgrace with little or no hope of survival, suspended in time with no meaning, helpless to help himself, turning more bitter towards society with the passing of time, unable to reach out through the bars to family or friends, slowly losing touch with the reality of life. Being slowly turned into animals with the passing of time. Destroying all sense of fair play and morality being educ...

WHAT IS PRISON LIKE? What is prison like? It's not the same for everyone. The prison I know is different from the ope you know or heard about on the TV or on the 2 minute sound bite on ~he evening news. Prison is a place where the first person you see looks like an all American college boy & you're surprised. Later on, you're disgusted because the people '· on the outside still harbor prejudices about the priscners they once knew about, such as family, relatives, frien...

What is religion? Religion is a belief; and some beliefs come with consequences. 'Cause there's critics that will react with violence. Why you think all these wars going on, are going on. It's all leading back to religion. You have your Jews, secretly accumulating wealth after the Hitler era; your Muslims struggling to be painted good and decent in the news and the Christians judging everyone. Shaping peoples lives like instruments and kids thoughts. The ones running the world,...

Demagogue Pennsylvania What the Prison System should teach Americans This article/editorial/opinion isn't about our standard topics. Most people writing from the inside of our nation's state-of-the-art incarceration system speak of an us/them form of class struggle, of democracy and the feeling of being disempowered. I have never felt like I was disempowered as I have never consented to my ultimate rights as an American. Others will tell you that they feel that prisons overwhelmingl...

Ironically, the administration had no idea why I was shipped to their unit - "24 hour medical unit". Security Threat Group, + Safe prisons personnel claimed to know nothing of the assault that took place, or the validation, as well as approval for transfer via Warden Gonzalez - Segovia unit.

"Where Does the R. Kelly's of the World Belong?" by R.... A..... Jr. May 9, 2019 High Desert State Prison Robert Kelly AKA (R) Kelly. To me, he's the king of R and B and only 2nd to the late great Michael Jackson. The King of Pop. R.Kelly has given us multiple decades of masterful performances and tours. And this man's writing talent and voice has made him an icon! He's a musical genius as Michael was and hundreds of millions of fans will agree with him in this w...

Where should I start? Living inside the belly of the beast for six years has been akin to misery. From being in segregation for the 13 extra days, denial of showers for 5 days, and denial of exercise for more than 7 days is demoralizing, depressing, and dehumanizing. On 5-27-18 I was given a disciplinary report for allegedly refusing housing due to my PTSD and depression. Because I couldn't co-exist with my cellmate I received a refusing housing ticket where they took 15 days of my good ...

By: Jessica Chambers Where's the Respect 12-23-19 As I sit in FMWCC NDOC Las Vegas, NV in unit 7 segregation, I realize that nobody respects the c/o "correctional officers" because the c/o's have no respect for themselves. They sleep on the job, curse at inmates and hang out with inmates like their homies. I mean my god and to think that were supposed to look up to them like a role model. I don't know about anybody else, but I most deffinitaley cannot look up to these...

Whistleblowers in a Soundproof Bastille -essay- October 6th, 2019 by: Ennis R. Patterson Put Out the Fire It seems most people incarcerated in Ohio state penitentiaries just wanna do their time quietly and go home. They cavort about as if oblivious to the many overt wrongs being committed by the prison establishment, and the blatant violations of constitutional rights. Yet, ironically, inmates constantly speak of rumors concerning wrongs or highly questionable doings of prison personnel and a...

These words were spoken by the author of our constitution. The rights of the accused are to protect the rights of all citizens, regardless if they have a record of criminal history. In circumventing these rights via this "detainer" policy, any person arressted is essentially re-convicted upon arrest for crimes they already did time f...

Who’s Paying for Maine’s New Prison? At present a new prison is being built in Windham, Maine — right next to and on top of the old Maine Correctional Center. True, legislation approved funding for “add-ons” and “improvements”, but not money for a new prison? Former Governor LePage and former Commissioner Fitzpatrick created real numbers in a manipulative scheme to fool the taxpayers and the Legislators as to the need for such funds - by way of a bait and switch. The details would probably sh...

'Why African American should vote as citizens living in America, voting is the only African American individual power guaranteed to us by the constitution of the United States. Every decision that governs African American lives was decided from a single individual vote. This is why voting is so essential, because it changes our way of life. When an African American individual says "I do not vote," he is really saying, I don't care who governs my life. My family and the Afr...

Writing to my inner child By: Dennis Sierra I When I decided to seek therapy, I knew that I needed to synthesize my unconscious thoughts with my conscious reality. It was suggested that I could write a letter to my inner child. I suspected that writing to my inner child could invoke many different emotions. It took me over a year to do just that. During the writing of my inner child, I needed to take intermittent breaks to gathermy thoughts and emotions. As I kept writing I felt compassion fo...
