Life in Texas Prisons With Parkinson Disease As you can imagine life in prison is hard. It's everything you see in the movies and so much more. I've seen fights, riots, murders, gang violence, rape, and more. None of this was or is trully surprising. What is and should be surprising is how many mentality challenged, disabled, and elderly are in Texas' prisons. I can't speak for other states. However Texas has a lot of elderly, mentality challenged and disabled. And there i...

Felix Cruz - Texas Life in Prison When you are in prison, you live in darkness, but when you get out everything changes. My question is, "How do you cope when you are in prison?" That depends on how you spend your time. Some prisoners spend their time working or going to school to keep their minds busy. One thing I learned is how to avoid trouble whenever possible and to keep the few privleges we are allowed. The first rule is to understand you are not in charge. remember where you ...

Mail Call Standing at the door of my cell, looking through the expanded metal covered windows, I watch as the "Boss" walks by. No mail mail for me tonight. Blam, blam, blam go the dominoes being slammed on the stainless steel tables, drowning out the other noises, a split second at a time. There's no pattern, no rhythm, just mind numbing popping that continues endlessly into the night, robbing me of my sleep and my sanity. Heat and humidity cover me like a wet blanket, suffocat...

"MAMA" I went to the dayroom the other morning where I greeted an acquaintance with a "Good morning. How are ya?" "Been better," he replied, "found out my mama died yesterday." My heart broke for him. He is living what is one of my very worst fears — losing my mom while I'm in this place. That is a hard blow to suffer-under any circumstances ; it is another kind of hell to lose anyone you are very close to when you are here, alone, and seperated fr...

Man Versus Beast - January 30, 2015 I stare at my freshly washed T-shirt hanging from a string clothesline against the wall. I've seen this sight a thousand times yet never seen it at all. What a pathetic shirt. Would anyone in the freeworld wear it? Probably not. Wearing it would be frowned upon, especially in a public place like a store or restaurant. Not that I think much about what's acceptable in public, but every once in a while I allow myself a little role-playing game to fil...

The past six years I've spent incarcerated is the longest period of time I've lived in one place for over 30 years. Unless the laws change, or I can eventually afford a competent attorney who can challenge my sentence all the way to the Supreme Court, I may never have anoth...

Naked Destiny I feel instead of hear a squeaky groan come from my chest in reaction to the sharp pain penetrating my eardrums. They fixed the loudspeaker last night. The same loudspeaker I paid Dennis 4 Ramen noodle soups to disable a couple of weeks ago. I was hoping for a longer reprieve, but over all the money was well spent. My cage is located in such a manner as to perfectly convey the demon speaker's scream from hell. One can avoid the resulting pain with a pair of earplugs, but I ...

My biggest fight is against the penal system; a system that is definitely broken. Ten to twenty-thousand words can't declare all that is wrong. So, all I can do is present a few things, events of my experiences, for the reader to peep through the prison's bars. This unit doesn't have bars as most p...

One Veteran's Perspective From the Wrong Side of the Bars 8/15/20 1/16 I don't think anyone can truly understand a society until they've spent time on both sides of the bars. A few years back, I served my country by working in a prison in Afghanistan. The military liked to call it a "Detention Center", but for all intents and purposes it was a prison. Especially when an Afghanistan judge came to pass sentences. The thought had crossed my mind that Operation Enduring F...

Perspective, Greed and Selfishness in Prison By Jacob Jills Prison has a unique and hunting way of putting things into perspective. Doing time slows down your present but, oddly enough, speeds up your past. One has a lot of time to sit and ponder. Reflect. And you never know when some past memory and experience will burst into your present-psych, body-snatching your physical expressions into a kind of deaf and dumb, paralyzed-zombie state of the infamous thousand year stare... It is not hard ...
