I’m using this paper format so I have a record and I can write more people at once. Pearline Jones I’m here because I was denied the right 2 represent myself or hire a lawyer.

[No Title] 1 In 2017, Harold Clarke, the Director of the Department of Corrections for the state of Virginia, appeared on the Charlottesville news station stating that the institutions in this state were five hundred officers short than what is necessary to maintain order within the prisons. Five hundred officers! That is a farcical amount! It makes one curious to know the reason for such a shortage. Is there a quandary within Virginia's Department of Corrections? There must be something...

I have seen nurses and doctors and yet I still don't know how my toe became infected nor have I recieved proper treatment for the infection. At first the nurses laughed when I showed them the cut on my toe that wouldn't heal. Then they provided Iodine, Epsom Salt and antibiotics. Finally when none of that worked they became concerned.

It was July 18th, and all I knew, was that today my sentence in "solitary confinement" had finally expired. I couldn't wait to be released from this oppressive hellhole. In this place, in addition to the stressful restrictive living conditions, the guards used tactics to make a person feel subhuman. If you aren't strong enough... well? You might just lose it. I spent the last few weeks of my life reading and writing for twenty-three hours a day. I was burnt out. I guess th...

People not only avoid situations and try to leave, they also often do things to make themselves feel more safe. They may help at the time, but they help keep the problem going because the untrusted person will never learn that awful things could continue to...

LWOP and a CAGE/CELL MATE?! In Pennsylvania's prisons prisoners are made to double cage /cell, unless they're crazy, anti-social, aggressive homosexuals, handicapped, or just know somebody of authority. This makes it a problem for Lifers such as myself. I have thirty-nine years served and counting, and I've seen the good, bad, and ugly when it comes to sharing a modern day cage/cell with another man. It's frustrating and even more dangerous to say the least. Lifers having ...

Least Likely Places At the age of 20, I found myself arrested and charged with a crime I did not commit. A year or so later, I was sentenced to die by lethal injection for someone else's crime. That was over 30 years ago, and obviously, I am still alive and still fighting to prove my innocence, but that's another story for another day. This story is about the joy and beauty of discovery in the least likely place. It was on death row that I discovered a deep love and appreciation for...

As I sit staring between the bars of my cell, just past the fence and rolls of constantia razor wire, I gaze upon the still sleeping woods that surround me. All I see is, dismal, dank, dirty brown blemish to the landscape. The rising temperatures and shinning sun of days gone by, as of yet, have not been able to coax the colorful, luscious green leaves to appear. Bo...
