Slangin the rocks from the triple beam. Was just a young buck having fun. Didnt realize what the cost of packing a gun. As I heard the iron gates rattle. Prepared for every twist and turn of the battle. For a life sentence surely I was doomed living in obscurity in a cocoon. Would I lose my mind. ...

Although it is far from the worst because things could always be worse, for instance I probably could not be able to write these thoughts or even be around. By no means do I intend to be morbid, but as we all view the best/worse case scenario this is mine. My bad year began in August 2014 and it came out of nowhere and knocked me out like a suckerpun...

The Legislature wrote the law implying that I am - that we are - incorrigible. So the prison system excludes us from every meaningful rehabilitative program: trades, jobs with career paths, and even some self-help programs. In spite of these impediments, many of us have achieved remarkable ...
