“Why Do Good?” "During this thirteen year span of incarceration here, I have never seen so much time wasted! Card games, meaningless relationships, no motivation to work or to take advantage of all the free education provided, are only some of the concerns that should be addressed instead of placing the focus on so many trivial elements. Why such a lack of motivation; and what can be done to change the mind-set of the prison population? These questions can produce no simple answers. This...

Why Is My Life Not Worth Saving? By Michael McAfee Sr. Where do I begin and how could this be that I'm in prison and no longer free.

I spoke against myself of fear by the police who forced me to speak lies to convict me of a crime I didn't commit. The state had evidence of...

"Will We Ever See A Neurodemocracy?" "Finally it is being speculated why blameworthiness could be the wrong question to ask when a crime is committed. Finally they have arrived where the judicial system should have been too many years ago. How is one to be held accountable for their actions if the biology of their brain has been altered by some circumstance? The answer lies in a forward moving brain-compatible legal system. This is defined as a Neurodemocracy. This is a fresh a...

Dear APWA, Salutations! If you've already received the hand-written agreement?, than you were expecting this journal entry. Years ago, Dr. Cornall West said "having a GED is the equivalent of being functionally illiterate." Although I couldn't grasp the complexity of what he meant then, now it makes perfect sense. In 2003 while awaiting trial, I passed the GED test. Unbeknownst to me then that's all I learned i.e. how to pass a test. Fast-forward to around 2010 or 201...
