A Polygraph Nation "When you fail your polygraph test, we're going to string you by your balls,’ exclaimed police detectives. All that I have ever wanted to do from the first second, when false allegations were made against me, was to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Most shocking, was when I realized that these police detectives were not very happy with me when results came in after my first polygraph saying that I had passed. They simply were pissed off ...

Essay By Terry Little A Prisoner's Apology Many days I would think of the words that I would say the mother of my victim. Do I give her a simpde sorry? do I explain in detail how regretful I am? Téis tends be a huge burden on my guilt ridden heart. The problem most times isn't about the apologetic feature, rather it's the gesture, and how will it be recieved. There has been many mothers who have lost their children from acts of violence, but how many mothers can actually say th...

A Prisoner's Apology #1 In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: "Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer." Ps. 19: 14 (KJV) In his "I Have a Dream" speech, delivered on August 28, 1963 on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. mentions the State of Mississippi four times: more times than he mentions any other state i...

A Prisoners World-View Upon the Discovery of Insight The first sign of intelligence will show, is when thinking rational, thus, selective few will in the beginning of their incarceration, start by reviewing and rewind their life's. Some come into realization and understanding upon "the errors of their ways", al...

A PRISONERS MANIFESTO ON REHABILITATION BY ABRAHAM HAGOS Rehabilitation. A word commonly used in relation to drug users and prisoners. Many people in society use the word for different reasons and purposes. The core purpose of rehabilitation is to restore a person to a state of good health and a normal life reversing their current condition. How each individual gets to that state is often complex. What works for one individual may not necessarily work for another. Irrespective of how a person...

I leaned towards history repeating itself, after all evolution just seems to be the same ole same ole with a few tweaks to make a thing modern. Take the U.S. history for instance, the slave trade and indentured servants are today called prisoners. When the Fore Fathers hammered out the Constitution in that hot sweaty room they had to compromise. The southern states wanted to count their slaves in the po...

Historical levels, the National Advisory Commission on Criminal Justice Standards and Goals clearly disproved the myth that decreasing crime rates have anything to do with increasing incarceration and announced that prisons unmistakably create crime rather than prevent it. Out of control incarcer...

I have over thirty years of incarceration and from that do I offer what insights I can on various subjects. * * * I am a fifty year old white male, I came to prison right after turning ninetee...

"A Shitty Situation" by William D. Hastings As if I was observing some kind of sickening and sadistic scientific experiment, I watched the garbage bag I had wrapped around the toilet slowly rise as the unflushed feces emanated methane gas. I was fascinated by the sight of science in action and horrified by the knowledge that soon I would have to remove the plastic covering to take a leak - and in so doing, get a mighty whiff of my own shit. There had been a glut of rain, too much to...

A SHORT COMMENTARY ON NORDSTROM V. RYAN; THE READING OF LEGAL MAIL BY PRISON STAFF by Gardner, September 16, 2014 The APWA seeks ‘essays’ about personal experiences; a recent Ninth Circuit case reminds me about prison mail improprieties in a related very unpleasant experience. I write to point out what the judges DIDN'T think about in their decision, hoping that my opinion might be pointed out in some future opportunity. The case is Nordstrom v. Ryan, 2014 DJDAR 106131, a federal 1983 (c...

A Short Treatise on Reality By Maakneril I.K.

Amongst the slums and poverty-stricken neighborhoods of every city, town, and/or municipality are, as one example, men who pride themselves on being “real” or “real niggaz”; and this very mentality has not only contributed to the masses of Asiatic men now incarcerated ...

Donald D. Hairgrove "A Single Unheard Voice" I truly have nothing but pity for the citizens of this State. The reason being...they are being duped for their tax dollars to fund the horrendously unconstitutional prison system. However ignorance and silence is no excuse. The exasperating taste of my world, devoid of any emotional nourishment, is gradually overpowering. Bleak and colorless walls; insipid, disgusting meals and phlegmatic, time-worn daily routines stacked upon unacceptab...

It seems that everywhere we turn these days, we are subjected to gross violations of common sense, th...

A speed trap in a small Midwestern town, circa 1952. That is how I equate the current state of criminal justice in the United States today. The unsuspecting citizen who explores his options in other states and has little or no roots in the area is easy prey forvictimization by the system. The long-hair, the African American, the female, any outsider, even someone like a young independent boy with sagging trousers and an in-your- face sound system in his car thumping rap music — these are the ...

A Supreme Manifestation of Wisdom by Maakneru [ineligible] Bey @2016 Not long ago I was asked a question that I could not possibly answer without some thought. I don't like to bound myself within the understandings or perceptions of another, so responding with a prefabricated or cliched answer was out of the realm of possibility. As "Maakneru" I try to remain in that reality; that is as pure and honest with myself and the spirit within as I could be and thus manifesting the sam...

Then, as soon as you walk out of the door, police officers unexpectedly approach you with menacing scowls. Once they are upon you, they aggressively grab you by ...
