Atrocities in the El Dorado Correctional Facility By: Michael Shaver In the light of the tragic death of George Floyd, some things have opened my eyes. The way those officers restrained him is a less violent way the CO's restrain us. When we're restrained, they have about six CO's hold us with the full weight of one on our necks after using pepper spray. They use divide and conquer military tactics to keep us constantly at each others' throats. We only get paid a total of ...

Auto-Da-Fe Translates to; "act of faith", in Portuguese, however, in history it assumes a much more sinister significance. Auto-da-fe was the ceremony of the Inquisition's judgement, and order for punishment to be executed by the government. This perverse marriage of state and church, ushered in the perfection of punishment, torture, sorted means of death, and "creative cruelty" designed to break the will of those deemed; not in moral conformity. In 1483, Tomas de Tor...

I was born in 1961 to parents who had their heads on straight. Therefore, I had what I consider a very stable, ideal, and bl...

Bag of Hope by Shon Pernice 
 When you enter the prison system, you are stripped of a variety of things: property, money, employment, relationships, respect, and your home. One of the biggest losses felt is your dignity. When you are talked to like you are a piece of trash - everyday for years - you start to believe it. You do not feel that you are worthy of anyone's love, support, or time. If offenders are programmed this way, it should be of no surprise what contributes to a failed sys...

When the cause succeeds, however, the timid join him...for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot." That is a quote I often think of by Mark Twain when doing my life sentence and actually trying to enforce my Constitutional rights and promote change here. People don't like change and it can be a difficult and dangerous thing to do at a prison, especially alone as I a...

The guards were ordered in January to go into all the inmate's cells and take away any and all hobby crafts except for ones that can be purchased through the prison commissary and it is rumored that crochet and art supplies will be limited. What's next, books on self improvement? Inma...
