Az Eye Drift? by: Kuzh Bandoi It's My decision. My thoughts develop My words and sometimes contradict My actions. I am in full control of Myself. Things have changed now. Existing behind a concrete wall laced with barbed wire and steal doors. How much control do I really have? I must choose to conform or rebel. I must choose to live or die. People die everyday, I refuse to stay asleep. Dreams tend to fade but memories last a lifetime. A picture is worth a thousand words -- a thousand tim...

When we first hooked up she'd had a lot of desirable qualities. But the longer we were together the more she became addicted to painkillers. When we first met she was on some painkillers due to a car accident that required extensive leg surgery and doctors said she would always likely suffer from chronic pain. B...

They gunned the gas behind my horse, making Buster run and hurdle a two foot high stone wa...

Being Incarcerated During The Covid-19 Pandemic Being honest, for awhile I stopped writing. I gave up believing that it was only a waste of ink and paper. With everything going on in the world right now, what difference would it make by writing articles about prison and my experiences? My articles wouldn't be a cure for the virus, bring unity to a divided nation, or create jobs for the jobless. I felt it would only be selfish by writing about my experiences. But as I sat thinking, my min...

All they left me to wear is a tshirt and thermal. So I wrap my blanket around me and it helps. I have no chair, the only place to sit is the bed (too high) or the toilet. I keep it clean and sit on the toilet, with the blanket wrapped around me. Well I did not realize it was coming off my shoulder and that part fell into the toi...

Broken? 6-1-18 Some people claim that our criminal justice system is horribly broken, and to most Americans that probably deserves a nod of recognition for the appearance of truth it presents to our general public. Lets look at it from that perspective for a minute. Most prisons in the United States are extremely unsafe places to both live and work. The facilities for the most part are out dated and in disrepair, due to lack of funding by the state and Federal government. Training for the off...
