Title: Unexpected ascension
Author: Vikalpa, Kali Yuga
Pages: 4 pages
Text (O): Kali Yuga Vikalpa Vikalpa 1 Unexpected Ascension If I had not descended into the dark and brutal hell of imprisonment, I do not believe I would ever have found God. I never searched for God; I was adverse to anything of a religious manner. Nevertheless, when I was at the very bottom of the pit, God is what I found. Before imprisonment, I did not have any meaningful experience with religion and did not believe in God. I received an infant baptism in a Church, but received no further indoctrina...

Text (FT): Veteran Denied Help Dies By T. A. Chase A veteran died on a Tuesday. He did not die from combat related injuries. Nor did he die as one of the many thousands of veterans who commit suicide each year. This quiet, religious and honorably discharged veteran passed away because of his governments overt action to prevent him from obtaining the assistance he both needed and was due. He was a veteran incarcerated. A disturbing and unknown statistic is that on average approximately 8% of any inmate p...

Visions of the Night ' “For God may speak in one way, or in another, yet man does not perceive it, In a dream, in vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, While slumbering on their beds, Then He opens the ears of men, And seals their instruction, In order to turn man from his deed, and conceal pride from man. He does so to keep back his soul from the Pit, and his life fro...

Title: When is it enough
Author: Harris, Larry "Rocky"
Pages: 8 pages
State: Illinois
Text (O): When is it Enough   I have 21 years behind these walls. I never figured my life would spin out this way. When I was a young man I was buck wild. I rode the iron horse and lived by no mans rules. Being a free spirit brought me into contact with the prison system at an early age. I bowed to no man. When push came to shove I used whatever means was necessary to protect my family, myself. You can only beat "the man" for so long, then you got to pay the piper. At 24 I took the law into m...

Text (FT): You'll Be OK by Stephen Whetzel The van sliced through the dense morning fog like a jet through vapor. It was dark, the mood somber, as ten of us, two guards and eight prisoners rode in a terrible silence. Icy air . streaming in from a slightly opened window numbed my face. I shivered with cold, uncertainty, and dread. My heart, fueled by fear and anger and adrenaline, raced like that speeding van down the highway. l didn't know where we were headed, but I knew that by the end of th...
