MASS INCARCERATION — WHAT IS IT COSTING US AND OUR CHILDREN? I. WHAT IS IT COSTING US: Former Attorney General Eric Holder stated in 2013 that the problem with the federal sentencing system is the "outsized, unnecessary large prison population", and that "too many Americans go to too many prisons for far too long, and for no truly good law enforcement reason" /1/. Four years later, we are still waiting for the prison reform. The House Judiciary Committee cannot move ahead ...

Massive Corruption Again Within the Pennsylvania Judicial System Copyright (C) 2016 by Wesley R. Carrol In Feb. 2016 a Philadelphia Pennsylvania judge overturned 51 cases brought by a tainted Philadelphia Drug Unit. Some described this as "rapid fire dismissals of old narcotics convictions...". The tainted Drug Unit had six of its officers from the citywide narcotics squad, who were themselves criminally charged of federal corruption charges, as a result of suspects they arrested an...

- Submission - 1. Wednesday 6-17-2020 "Misunderstood" My life in a California Prison has been exceptionally hard, due to being misunderstood by my peers because they don't know anything about the different spectrums of sexual orientation and identity in the L.G.B.T.Q.+ community, so trying to explain this to everyone is difficult, but I feel is worth it to maybe stop people from hating us or pre-judging my people. Although the prison system only has two destinations, male and t...

Most of us believe the parole board Jane Dorotik Most of us believe the Parole Board Commissioners have a very serious job in determining who should stay in prison and who should be released. After all, the burden of public safety would seem to lie squarely on their shoulders. If a prisoner can t, after years of incarceration, prove to these commissioners they are not a menace to public safety, then maybe they shouldn't be released. My guess is this is what the public generally thinks......

My Greatest Fear Jason Daugherty One of my greatest fears in life is becoming a statistic. There are currently an estimated seven million people in some form of correctional custody in the United States. Of those, two million and three hundred thousand are in jail or prison (Ross and Richards xi). Unfortunately, I am already counted among those over two million souls already in jail or prison. It is another, far more disturbing, statistic that worries me. Each year, six hundred and fifty thou...

No Excuses. Reasons. Today is reminding me of the day that Laura killed herself. Almost exactly three years ago on a frigid January evening so much like this one. I didn't know that she was dangling from a sheet tied around the smoke alarm in her cell as I stood outside and stared at the trees and sky beyond the perimeter fence. Those first few years I spent an inordinate amount of time staring past the fence. I was so cold, burrowed down into layers of cheap clothing. Thermal underwear,...

I did not know what else to do, and if I had of known what to do, I don't know if I would have been strong enough psychologically to do anything different. As I write this, I am still in a sensory deprivation cell, as if that's the answer. "For Kentucky it is." Because I was a lonely 62 year old man who'd been locked up since 1977, I did not see until it was too l...

One of My Best Friends Is a Serial Killer by Stephen Whetzel 
 One of my best friends is a serial killer. Perhaps given his court-mandated and state-supported retirement plan, a 129-year prison sentence, I should refer to him as an ex-serial killer. Although he has not committed murder since his incarceration, the State of Indiana recently convicted him of 21 previously unsolved murder. His DNA matched a sample founcl on a corpse discovered thirteen years earlier. The media had touted the gru...

I am not allowed to practice my religion. In fact only Christians and Muslims are allowed to have services. Muslims only because they have previously won a lawsuit. Arkansas prisons gear everything toward Christian, programs, special events, the only people allowed to be in the band have to play only C...

[Poverty and Crime] 7/14/2018 Hello, I am a product of society. I robbed that bank because I am poor. Homeless shelters and jobs I had were always temporary. I never had enough money to keep me off the streets of Downtown Los Angeles. At least prison takes care of me. But I'll eventually get out. And what then? I heard I got 6 months at a halfway house during which I must find a job that is able to support me. But I couldn't do that following the rules of society. How can I succeed?...
