Dortell Williams CA Approximately 800 words Non-fiction It's a Fact: Low-Risk Offenders Don't Come Back by Dortell Williams I believe it is the goal of every civil and pragmatic society to set its penal system to reform and rehabilitate its miscreants. Indeed, in California, reform and release is the stated goal of the Supreme Court of California, in its 2008 watershed Lawrence decision, delineating a clear criteria for reforming and releasing prisoners. Of course, not everyone is r...

That awareness can catalyze desperately needed new approaches when inevitable problems of reaction, cooptation, insufficient knowledge and changin...

Labeling Theory Like most prisoners, I could go on a tirade about the multitude of problems that exist within the confines of prisons. But, most of those problems are merely symptomatic of a greater issue: the way in which prisoners are viewed. The police, courts, legislators, and prison officials label prisoners in ways that perpetuate the existing system. For the prisoner, the labeling process begins at the time of arrest. Suspects are humiliated by being arrested in public. This humiliatio...

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...

My Justice Experience, So Far... 
 Coming to prison actually saved my life. Due to sexual abuse as a child, I started to drink and abuse drugs very early in my life, at age nine. I don't remember any real childhood in which drugs and alcohols did not play a part. The road of my life was inevitably leading to one of two conclusions. One was prison, the other one death. It is quite possible that I actually did die in the five-car collision that was the beginning of my present ordeal. I rec...

Numbness is all I desire. is that too much for a man to ask? To be comfortably numb just like the Pink Floyd song says. One would think that after seven years, almost eight, I would have reached an emotional plateau that provides some semblance of sequestration from the insatiable madness of my environs. Regardless of the amount of prayer and other efforts, such a reprieve never arrives. Maybe my parents and teachers did a better job of indoctrinating me than family, ex—family and others (inc...

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...
