Crime + Punishment By J. Carr 2-18-12 Saturday The history of crime is one in which perceptions, ideologies, oracles and so on determined just who was felonious, and who wasn't. The punishment, often in misguided ministrations, burgeoned upon a possible criminal act itself? It is easy to sit from without the spectrum of good and evil, and pronounce a penalty for offenses, it is compounded hell to walk the road of [actual?] retribution. Jesus said it best of the executors of purported jus...

A Day One Frederick Mason #55487-056 USP Tucson PO Box 24550 Tucson, AZ 85734 It's been awhile since I've shared my very first day here at USP Tucson. I figured this would be a good time to share with you my description of my very first day here at USP Tucson, after I was processed into the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Now, at the time I am writing this, it has been over 5 years. I actually got here on December 7th, 2012. Today, as I type this, is June 23rd, 2019. Considering all I ha...

Dear American Justice: When I first encountered your judicial system in the year of 1988, I was a 17 year old young and ignorant fool still trying to figure out who I was as a man. I was an unguided, immature, lost and troubled young soul who had no idea and/or clue as to what I was actually doing in the inner city streets of Newhaven, Connecticut. And despite the fact that I both knew and understood that selling drugs, carrying firearms and assaulting individuals was a violation of both our ...

Jerry J. McDonough Dear KJCIs February 24, 2009 As I lie upon my back, my arms folded across my chest like a funereal corpse, one elbow touches the cold, concrete wall; the other hangs off the edge of my narrow prison bunk. Sleep does not come easily. The din is nearly constant. Inmates who couldn't give a rip about consideration for others are engaged in stereo wars. One blasts rap as loudly as his C D player can go. Across the tier, a death metal fan tries to drown out the other stereo...

You look out over the waters and see someone struggling in the deep water. Abandoning safety, you rush out, dive into the water to the drowning victim. It takes seconds, but seems like minutes before you reach him. But by the time you get there, the person has gone under. You dive deep into the lake, and using strength and courage...

Do Inmates Have Rights... No Response The question is, of course rhetorical, but you'd never know it from the response I got from the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Here's what I wrote, and sent to them: December 5th, 2018 Dear U.S. Court of Appeals, I was told by an officer here at USP Tucson, that as inmates, regardless of what the law says, we have no rights at all, and that as "slaves to the state", staff and officers are immune to any laws the...

Do Not Read This Argument By Robert W. Warrington First printed in the Isthmus, November I December 2008 Human beings do not always do what they are told. In fact, many people do whatever they want unless the consequences outweigh the incentives. This is why breaking a law must result in undesirable consequences. In the past, civilized societies enforced their laws and sought to deter crime by providing consequences that would seem brutal today. Offenders could be publicly whipped, put in sto...

Double—Bladed Guilt Frederick Mason #55487—O56 USP Tucson‘ PO Box 24550 Tucson, AZ 85734 It's easy for society to hear about how prisons have to deal with inmates who get out of hand. Most of what you hear about inmates isn't good; very rarely will officers tell you the good things inmates do. Now, I grant you, there's a LOT of bad behavior going on, but I'll argue that much... well, some, is based on how they are treated. The problem with what you hear from officers is th...

What I'm about to share could be highly sensitive to Christians, but I'm writing this to challenge the average Christian to be a laborer, not a lazy-bore. Play on words, sorry... Still, there's aserious message here, one that I fear many Christians would like not to be said, or one they don't app...

.0 EASTER AT COLEMAN Our Easter Vigil service on Saturday had to be cancelled because our pastor had a scheduling conflict. He had to supervise a Passover service instead. Our parish is not your typical parish. Our parish is located within a low security federal correctional institute in Coleman, Florida. Our pastor, in addition to saying mass for us every Sunday is also a full time employee of the Federal Bureau of Prisons as a chaplain in a near by penitentiary, thus the scheduling conflict...

Economics of Mass Incarceration A prison system that continue to grow rapidly especially in (state) prisons. As it looks now there will be (no) type of prison reform in the making. Those of us whether guilty or not feel as though we are in modern day slavery. We feel as though we have been set up, and held captive. As we await being sold into human trafficking with very little resources to get us out of this vile situation. There is desperate need for all who care. For all who may have someon...

Electronic Monitoring The Intelligent Alternative to Prison Introduction In its simplest form, electronic monitoring is the use of automatic, remote technology such as computers, global positioning, and other surveillance equipment to track the exact location and current activity of selected individuals, in real time. The vast majority of people in the United States are probably a bit uncomfortable with the thought of someone watching over their every move, and probably rightly so. For the ev...

Endure Until The End Frederick Mason #55487-O56 USP Tucson PO BOX 24550 Tucson, AZ 85734 There is a scripture in Matthew 24:13 that says, "But he who endures to the end shall be saved". There are several different ways to look at that verse, but I want to use this as a foundation to a testimony I experienced years ago. It is proof positive that as Christians it's not enough to walk the "word",but to live it by example. Why is this important? Because the world needs to...

Enter The Federal Prison "You're going to USP Tucson; that's a penitentiary". That's the shocking words I heard while standing in a holding cell in Raleigh, North Carolina. My heart sank to the floor, hearing the word, "penitentiary". Why? Why am I being sent to a PEN? Of the 6 or so guys in the cell, I was the only one destined for a pen. And why ARIZONA? My gosh, couldn't I have been sent to one closer? I'll NEVER get a visit from my family now. ...
