North Carolina Prison Focus Willie Worley Jr., North Carolina Just recently I was ask the question by a prison guard was I racist. I smiled at him and carefully explained to him that I am not a racist but could detect unconscious implicit and conscious racism in others like himself. He than asked me why I felt he was a racist. My reply was this: 1.) Your whole day revolves around trying to manipulate and harass African Americans 2.) You will ignore the illegal actions of a caucasian Americans...

Willie Worley Jr. North Carolina Prison Mental Manipulation Our state prisons once carried the name, “The Department of Corrections” proudly. It would have been a good title if their top priority would have had anything to do with correcting the incarcerated persons aberrant behavior. Now North Carolina has adopted the name “Department of Public Safety. This name change is a slap in the face to prisoners, as well as residents of the state of North Carolina. The public need to be protected fro...

April 16, 2018 Robert Johan Richter Not A Witness Two guys fight. When the officer comes to pack up their property, he uses a shovel to break open one guy's padlock! Why? Pure evil. We have to buy special locks that have a key slot, and the combinations are all on file, but the cops enjoy ruining our locks and making us pay for new ones. I've seen a hundred locks broken in my dorm alone over the last year. In the mess hall, guys crowd to the windows to watch two cops drag a handcuff...

Not Allowed To Write By Robert Johan Richter First, the timeline. On January 29, I wrote to the Superintendent of Orleans CF, K. Crowley, and told her that inmate Chris Fxxxx was in immediate danger of being raped by a serial sexual predator. She did nothing. The following Wednesday, he was assaulted (because of the rape situation), followed by a second fight, resulting in several inmates going to the box. The whole situation could have been avoided by simply moving either inmate to another d...

David Andrew Norton — 211153 Notes on Coping / November 2016 The stress within prison walls is really not all that different from the ‘real’ world of stress. So we prisoners do many of the same things that ‘ordinary’ people do to cope with the stress we all face. One way to cope is through diversion, as through mental and physical exercise. I'm not much of a sportsman anymore (though I dearly miss the swimming pool), but I like to get out of my routine and comfort zone a little by playin...

With the time that the mandatory minimum measure 11 gives individuals in Oregon, the potential for contemplation of the reasons humans end up in prison, as I have every day since I was arrested, is a great philosophical adventure. Crime; addiction, poverty, greed, lust, anger, risk...

Numbness is all I desire. is that too much for a man to ask? To be comfortably numb just like the Pink Floyd song says. One would think that after seven years, almost eight, I would have reached an emotional plateau that provides some semblance of sequestration from the insatiable madness of my environs. Regardless of the amount of prayer and other efforts, such a reprieve never arrives. Maybe my parents and teachers did a better job of indoctrinating me than family, ex—family and others (inc...

I was wracking my brain, I mean, what do I call a story about such an institution as Yazoo City in Mississippi? You have no idea what this place is like, as far as prisons go....

So it has been with each new “promise” from the 'parole' board (or from the "Department Of Corrections") that, if you do such-and-such "program" for a year—or—two, MAYBE at the end of that time, they'll “consider” letting you go...

The winds that whistle through the valley of Mexico whisper. They don't howl, don't scream or beat or bellow. They are old and somber, patient, intelligent, sentient-nothing hectic like the blister of New York or the chorus of hopes deferred that flows through L.A., not the shattered pane that flies over Europe or winds thick with the pleas of a third world metropolis. It's as if the valley is an old sage, the hills and rivers the subtleties of his face, his soft exhales the br...

I did not know what else to do, and if I had of known what to do, I don't know if I would have been strong enough psychologically to do anything different. As I write this, I am still in a sensory deprivation cell, as if that's the answer. "For Kentucky it is." Because I was a lonely 62 year old man who'd been locked up since 1977, I did not see until it was too l...

 On October 13, 2014 the Wisconsin Department of Corrections announced a new tax on the family and friends of the states prisoners, as wall as the prisoners themselves. The "Canteen Hobby Catalog" program. Because the program is designated as "canteen" the policy mandates that items being sold "will be marked up approximately 10% over cost before any required sales tax is collected" (see DAI policy #309.52.01, highlighted). This mark up is collected by the contr...

This classification hearing and the transfer came as a great surprise to me. I was not scheduled for a hearing until February 2016. I had grown accustomed to living at California Correctional Cen...
