- Dear Reader(s) Would it make sense if I told you that I receive praise from those who are incarcerated with me just by mentioning the past versus the present? Would the reader understand that all I am is what I've been able to discover through these revolutionary tablets (books)? Should I be able to name my triggers? Maybe my urges or cognitive distortions? Would you understand me better if I told you my personal library in this dog kennel (cell) includes authors such as: Elaine Brown, D...

This is not a biography about Datra, so allow me ...

- American Prison Writing Archive Writing of Datra Johnson Vol. II (Texas Parole System) In the books Texas, has a way to justify there actions, without reason, (at least this is what they believe). Once you experience things in Texas, you do not see any understand and the system makes no sense, especially, the Texas parole system. While at Coffield Unit, I had a job at Metal Fabrications, a company in Texas Correctional Industries, that make everything for military, prisons, parks, and recreat...

- Dear APWA, Salutations! If you've already received the hand-written agreement?, than you were expecting this journal entry. Years ago, Dr. Cornall West said "having a GED is the equivalent of being functionally illiterate." Although I couldn't grasp the complexity of what he meant then, now it makes perfect sense. In 2003 while awaiting trial, I passed the GED test. Unbeknownst to me then that's all I learned i.e. how to pass a test. Fast-forward to around 2010 or 201...
