Preparing the Way By Wesley Carroll Prepare the way for the Lord, And don't mess around, Get on board. Everything that is taken in, Is gonna be horde, So now it is you know. We have been restored, By that almighty sword, And by the blood of the lamb, Yet some still don't understand. Just note when Paul was persecuted, When he preached the truth, Nothing diluted its so stupid, How polluted minds get, When the ears become muted. There's a fire in the mouth, And these words are ge...

PRISON OVERCROWDING IN OHIO by William L. Ridenour The prison overcrowding problem in Ohio has reached a critical stage. Some institutions are operating at nearly 200% of original design capacity. In fact, Ohio has struggled for over a decade to reduce its prison population. For instance, recent studies have shown that the incarceration rate in Ohio is 4.9 percent higher than the national average. The national incarceration rate is 545 adults per 100,000 residents, as compared with Ohio'...

The correctional officer (C.O.) has just walked through and did count and its the wee hours of the morning, when all of a sudden bap, bap, bap, bap (sound of a lock-in-sock tagging human flesh).

I have decided not to write too much about the circumstances of my crime or my experience with the Judicial System. I will make ...

Reading Plato on Death Row Lisa Guenther Every Wednesday, Igo to Riverbend Maximum Security Prison in Nashville to facilitate a discussion group with prisoners on death row and philosophy graduate students. It's a nice prison, as far as prisons go: clean, suburban-feeling, with a soapy smell that lingers on my hands and clothes after I leave. The reception area is filled with motivational posters of determined mountain climbers and goal-oriented rowing teams. Beyond the checkpoint, an or...

Voices Through the Walls RE: Reflection on the work of dealing with time... Curtis L. Downing, Indian Springs, Nevada In the years that I've been incarcerated and reflecting on them, so many things come to mind and almost so fast that, I can hardly write fast enough to get my thoughts on paper. This because I've experienced so much, and much of what has been negative, and seems to be getting worse. I am thankful to God that, over these many years I am able to keep an attitude of gra...
