Anatomy of a Convict: Amerikkka's Creation My first experience of prison was a soul numbing experience, from the initial strip search @ Kern County (Bakersfield, CA)! To the intake process @ USP Leavenworth in 1993! The demoralization aspect(s) mirror each other: "Strip naked! Hands out & Turn over! Raise arms to show armpits! Open mouth & lift tongue! Behind ears L to R! Lift your scrotum...pull back your foreskin! Turn around...R foot! Now L foot! Bend over at waist...now ...

10/2/2017 ...And Just us Fall (...And Justice for All) I am a prisoner here in the Florida Department of Corrections. Although my incarceration began in 1999, I had not received treatment of mental illness until 2007, after an attempted suicide. It's strange how most people with mental disorders tend to believe they're fine, and it's everyone else who's nutty. Atleast, this is the prisoner's philosophy. Ironically, the Florida Department of Mental Health Services defi...

March 20, 2019 Angry Man [Baby] Syndrome by F. Givens Throughout my years of incarceration, I have sought to gain insight into who I really am. Through my efforts, it is now easier for me to identify many of my character defects, which allows me to correct some defects. As a corollary of self-awareness, I can now recognize traits of my own maladaptive behaviors exhibited in others. Such recognition allows me to have empathy towards these persons. One of the most demonstrative behaviors I have...

 Another Day In Calipatria 
 Life in this California Prison is a test of patience, and control. That is not to say that this writer has much of either, as a Trial Judge once concisely stated. This writer has a temper that's out of control. I do not deny the fact in that what makes my blood boil is the stupidity of petty want to be po...

Anywhere But Here by E. Andrea Cole I'm in prison, so of course I wish I were anywhere but here. The problem with that though, is that I, and all of my woes, are bound to go with me. So I often wish I were anyone but me. And the person I usually wish I was is my little brother. He's peacefully residing in an urn somewhere at my sister's house. No worries. No grieving. No nightmares. Yeah, sometimes, that's where I want to be. At my sister's house. No worries. No griev...

There is a twin size iron bed mounted to the walls, it takes up half the walking room so you have as much as a door way space to living cycle. All the way at the back of the cell is a toilet with a sink connected. Today is just like any day bored with nothing to do besides think about the things...
