October 21, 2009 Kenneth Hartman Prison Writer The Power of Books in Prison What's Your Reaction? The first time I read Solzhenitsyn's The Cancer Ward I was in the hole for inciting a riot. At the time, I'd served only the first ten years of my life without the possibility of parole sentence. The stark scenes of medical torture performed in dismal Soviet hospitals paralleled my surroundings so perfectly I could see the pain and death detailed in the book. For those of us who de...

September 6, 2009 OP-ED CONTRIBUTOR The Recession Behind Bars By Kenneth E. Hartman Lancaster, Calif. Every weekday morning the prison's not on lockdown, the yard holds its collective breath waiting for the pale-orange package cart to appear through multiple layers of chain-link and razor-wire fences. For most prisoners, this lumbering vessel is their only tangible, physical connection back to the free world. The last couple of years the cart has arrived less often and with visibly light...

 Coming into California prison system a native of Oklahoma, I hadn't lived in the state but two years prior to being wrongfully convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. To say this has been both a disappointment and adjustment is to say t...

HUMPHREY/1. ¥T%fi THE SHAPING OF A CONVICT Introduction (non-fiction) "Boy...what'cha doin' back there?" "Nuttin' mama," I yelled in response to her calling out to me from the living room that also served as her bedroom. This was an arrangement made in 1961, when I was four years old. In a jealous rage, my father shot her several times one night at a club, leaving her paralyzed with two options: she could either lie in her bed or sit in her wheelchair. Unfort...

The trouble with prison, as it is perceived, is the shadows are further distended by a variety of prisms that bend reality to suit a host of preconceptions, special interests and self-fulfilling prophecies. The end result of this shape-shifting is...

KENNETH E.

It is, most definitely, a separate and distinct world. Further, in this whole otherness, prisoners are not merely stick figures waiting to resum...

Only The Guilty Go Quietly To The Gallows. THIS WAY OR THAT WAY By Dave Harrison From a position of power you will realize vindication and freedom; information gives you power; discovery provides you information. Discovery is the right of every litigant, thus to unlock the vault where all the information is kept you must be a party to litigation, either as the plaintiff, or as a defendant. A defense lawyer once told me that convictions are virtually predetermined in every prosecution. This is...

They came into my life at a time that I was feeling the most depressed that nobody cared, especially my so-called family. Now that I have someone to exp...

THOUGHTS OF A PRISONER by Kimya Humphrey, Sr. - Will anyone cry...will I be missed... will I remain in peoples‘ thoughts long after I'm gone? There's so much traffic at the cross roads in my mind, where thoughts that are too late scream, "Oh now I see...now I know how to live my life." Unfortunately, no one really listens to those thoughts because they hold no sound of importance. Like the letter I mailed to my family long ago, and every night since... still no answer. Eac...

Truth in sentencing? Truth in sentencing? The latest twist demands certain felons serve at least 85 percent of their sentences, with no further time off for good behavior. I propose we also adopt "Truth in Legislation."

 On one end of the breakfast table sat a plate with scrambled eggs, sausage, two slices of toast, and one tall glass of milk for my girlfriend. On the other end there was a plate with one gram of heroin, a spoon, one cotton ball, a syringe, one home-made tourniquet, a Bic lighter, and one tall glass of water for me. Off and on for over 30-years that is the way I began my day. Heroin was my breakf...

Unnatural Lockdowns Essay by Kenneth E. Hartman Like everything else of consequence, green consciousness came late to the prison systems of this country. In fact, it's still a work in progress, this new outlook. It could be the immovable nature of prison—change of any kind tends to be resisted as a matter of course—or perhaps it is simply the brutal and unnatural quality of prison life. Still, some adjustments to the status quo have managed to slip in past the armed perimeters and throug...

We take great pride in our sense of standing astride the contours of history, boasting of our unique story. We like to see ourselves as against what is wrong with everyone, everywhere else. In the area of criminal justice we clearly do stand apart, and we are, indeed, opposed to the rest of the world, but for all the wrong reasons. Our unique story is of imp...

 Through the course of our skirmishes, battles and wars against various government agencies (U.S. Attorney's Office, Internal Revenue Service, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, Federal Bureau of Investigation, etc.) we have often encountered government agents whose fanaticism had them believing and acting as if they were above the law.
