THE TAXPAYER'S BURDEN I am a prisoner housed at the Illinois Department Of Corrections Prison located in Pinckneyville Illinois. If the reader was to punch up this prison on the State website one would find that the current rate of incarceration is at $18,355.00 per one year of my living in prison. This is down from the $30,000.00 price tag that was in place in the early days of the 2000's. One would ask why is is getting cheaper? The budget cuts in the prison system due to the budg...

THE TRAVAlLS OF CHARLlE SHEEN Porn actress Capri Anderson described her experience as unexpected and frightening as she recalled hiding in a closet for safety in a New York hotel room as America's funnyman, Charlie Sheen, turned madman during a cocaine-induced rage. Widely publicized photographs of the demolished hotel room added another element to Anderson's story. Sheen went off, again. I'm not talking about when he shot his then girlfriend, Kelly Preston, in the arm - during...

James Barstad THREE Elephants are known for their long-term memory. When they are little baby elephants, what are they, cubs, kits, pups, oh yeah, calves, they are chained to a wooden post driven into the ground. They push, pull, and fight. Eventually they learn that they are not strong enough to pull out the post. When they grow to adulthood, they remember that they could not pull the post loose. Even though they are now strong enough to gain their freedom, they fail to test the post, becaus...

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...

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...

I am sure that we will meet again. I know you, your name is Abuse of Authority. You seek positions where you can have some sense of control over others. It eases your pain of having no control over yourself. We find you in the church, the government, in law enforcement, and in every place that inn...

WHO BENEFITS FROM PRISON? Why would anyone want. to work in a men's prison? Who rises each morning anxious to enter a desolate world void of any responsibility greater than turning a key? Or enjoy monitoring the physical movements of grown men who themselves are offered little incentive to develop and enrich their own lives in such a stale environment? Prisoners are, of course, without a choice. Prison workers though choose such a profession. But why? is it for money? Many less—than-desi...

WHO IS NONVIOLENT? By George Norris Hall Whatever l have done, it was done over 40 years ago at a minimum, and in some cases 59 or 59 years ago, under circumstances that even i don't remember clearly today, and has nothing whatsoever to do with the person i am today. How do we define "violent"? is it a person who has never, ever, committed a violent act, no matter how far removed in time? Across the board, statistics prove in every State and Federal jurisdiction, paroled first-...

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...

However if you are incapable of such an imaginative leap, which most people are, then I fear that what I write will only be connected lines of text that our brains recognize ...
