Breaking the Cycle By Ryan M. Moser Originally published in the Spring 2016 Beacon Re-Entry Newsletter Florida's high recidivism creates a costly burden on taxpayers and is overwhelming the criminal justice system at an unprecedented rate. Statistics vary, but out of the 100,000 men and women incarcerated in the Florida Department of Corrections, approximately 75% will come back as a re- offender in their lifetime. Official records show that 35% of inmates released will return to prison w...

Bring Back Collateral Attack Eric Pepke l6 September 2019, original December 2018 Once upon a time in America, there were criminal trials. People accused of and indicted for alleged crimes had to be proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt before a jury of their peers. If the jury found a defendant guilty, a judge would pronounce sentence. Even in those days of old, merely convicting a defendant was not enough. The law and process had to be lawful under the constitution, preserving due process...

Building Trades Graduation March 19, 2020 Shon Pernice The building trades vocational program provides a wealth of confidence and economic opportunity, as we learned carpentry basics. From the hands-on approach, to the use of power tools, reading blue prints, and constructing a 14 by 18 foot dwelling from the foundation to the roof--this course has the potential to change lives and reduce recidivism. We started with the basics of safety, work place ethics, and resource management. Then we beg...

WCI Tom Kropp PO Box 351 Waupun, WI, 53963 Burglary and Perjury By Tom Kropp Linda entered my life looking like Pat Benatar or Joan Jett in skin tight jeans and leather coat. The weird vibration energy and hormone imbalance that people call love hit us right away. She was also the kind of bad girl I gravitated towards. She'd been a hooker, stripper, and girlfriend of drug dealers. She'd never called the cops on anyone, not even the guys that hit her. In addition I'd done time w...

Can anyone imagine even for a moment what it's like to be arrested for crimes you never committed, they have to sit in Court drugged out of your mind on 250 mg. of Elavil, a highly addictive prisoner management tool that the County Jail was using. I am only now learning for the first time what and why my entire time at trial I was so dizzy, passed out and was sleeping eighteen hours a day as I read the Medical Summary Transfer Report and the cautions and risks of a Medication I would of ...

Can We Talk? (July 28, 2020) By: Jaymes Hargrove - Beto Have you ever walked into a situation where you knew nothing of what was happeningh? It can be maddeningly frustrating, especially when not knowing might adversely affect your health and well-being. The Texas Prison System is notorious for keeping everyone in the dark about the undercurrents that occur behind its razor wires. As the COVID pandemic continues to ravage the units, there is still little to no coverage of the dire situation. ...

Larry E. May Caper Loves Everyone and Everyone Loves Caper! By L. Edward May From a distance, it looked like a lion in a cage. I immediately thought of the stories my parents told me regarding traveling circuses. Animals in cages, placed on wagons, pulled by horses, from town to town. Men on the yard stopped talking and exercising as the cart approached. Two women guided it towards our building. There was a brown dog inside the sturdy metal cage. Most of us believed he was vicious because of ...

Capricious Vindictiveness in the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole By R. Henry Miller Actions by the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole (UBoPP) personify the maxim that absolute power corrupts absolutely. UBOPP is an independent agency within Utah’s executive branch. Its decisions are not appealable in court. An inmate may not challenge the Board’s decisions, but may challenge the process UBoPP used to reach its decisions. Meetings however are closed to the public and records of meetings are una...

Cell Change by James W. Harkleroad It was in December of 2018 that I was moved to P (Dorm/Quad) 3-209L (Lower Bunk), late in the afternoon. The first thing I noticed was that the locker could not be secured. The little tab that the padlock loop went into was broken off. Florida Department of Corrections rules and regulations stipulate that a prisoner is to be provided with the means to secure their property from theft from other prisoners. In other words, I was illegally assigned to a bunk th...

Cell Restriction for Writing a phone kite in blue ink. It never ceases to amaze me at how petty correctional officers can be when they want to write somebody up or how unit staff use such petty write-ups to punish prisoners, often retaliation. On September 12th, 2017 while I was working in the South Dakota State Penitentiary, Jameson Annex Kitchen I was called over by a correctional officer. This correctional officer had a bunch of minor write-ups in his hand. He asked me "Do you know yo...

Cell Search Most agents don't do cell searches unless the sgt. tells them to, and even then they look a little here and there, just enough to say I did it and find nothing to justify a write up. In Seg 2 agents are required. They must cuff me in back and one agent holds me beside the door so I cannot see into the cell. The other agent does the search. Most times they look for shanks and phones, so the search is fairly quick. But some agents go all out. 1st they stand at the door closed w...

Center Ring by Mark A. Jarosik Sandwiched between majestic tree topped mountain ranges, a sprawling man-made oval ring bordered entirely by spiral razor wire capped chain link fencing solemnly rests in a lush California coastal valley. The mere sight sparks lost mental images of childhood memories where I spent sultry summer days with my siblings sitting on spectator grandstands fanning away facial perspiration beneath a pennant waving canvas tent. Many years later, far from these exciting an...

Bush signed into law the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006. This bill was the most com- prehensive bill to address the issue of sex offenses against children. One of the key components of the bill was the ability for the Federal Government to civilly commitl any individual in their legal custody2 they believe to be sexually dangerous. This i...

Civilized Paradox, or Hypocrisy The sight of a bully, or bullies, continuing to beat a person already down is intolerable, cause for outrage, and social indignation. Schools take bullying serious. Children are taught and disciplined not to bully others: "It's wrong to over-power another and force them to say uncle." Domineering, browbeating, and subjugating, is what tyrants do; definitely not what we want our children to do, or to become. Such behavior is not acceptable in a ci...

Yet, old and sick prisoners continue to die in California's prison system. The U.S. Supreme Court had to rule in 2011, California was conducting cruel and unusual punishment by overcrowding prisons, before the state begrudgingly began to reduce the population of its 34 ...

Everyday we pass by veterans without a second glance, except for those who bare the wounds of their past with scars and missing limbs. Evidence that they continue to fight long after they have left the battlefield. It was not until the Gulf War that we got to witness first hand the the battle these heros face when the conditions at the Wal...

Clothes and The Prisoner Identity Clothes do make the man or woman. Or the officer or the prisoner. Studies have shown that people are more likely to follow instructions given by authorities who wear white physician coats or ties. I remember the deepest feeling of degradation when first told to put on the black and white stripe jumpsuit in jail--long before judgement. This "convict 'outfit presumes guilt and can be seen in multiple movies of "chain-gangs" going back to the...

Color my World by A. Scott Lagano The morning sun languishes through the once verdant southern forest, now transposed to a morose insalubrious monotone of gray by the winter's lack of rain and the seemingly perpetual and unseasonable Florida heat. A persistent daybreak fog only adds to the ghost-like dawn. What was once a vivid burst of life now struggles in thirst and identity. Winter's death, even among the evergreen pines, offers little promise. The only hint of the day's fa...

Comments on Medical Services in California Prisons Submitted by Stan Moore 12 April, 2019 I have been in California prisons since later summer of 2015, when I was sent to reception at San Quentin. I got off the bus with a urinary catheter and leg bag due to a presumed prostate problem that arose when I was awaiting sentencing at Marin County Jail. At San Quentin they diagnosed a bladder infection and put me on antibiotics for a week. The infection went away, the catheter was removed, and I co...
