"A PERSON CANNOT BECOME WHO THEY NEED TO BE BY REMAINING WHO THEY ARE!!" By Wesley I. Purkey, Federal Death Row. My great Aunt Ga-ga who adopted me when I was kid, who didn't weigh a buck five soak and wet, inundated me with an assemblage of words of wisdom, which has left an indelible imprint on me. These "golden sayings" were generally flaunted when she was trying to school me on the importance of obtaining and continuing my education, and the need for learning from...

An excerpt from my journal: December 10, 2017 I witnessed the craziest shit last night. An inmate I know beat down a correctional officer right in front of me. To make matters worse, the inmate used a lock-in-a-sock and then took the officers mace and sprayed him with it. It all started when I came in from chow. As I made my way through the dayroom, Bama stopped me. He quickly said that he was about to beat the polices ass and to tell his bunky that he was sorry for taking his lock. At first ...

Background: I came to prison with a 60 yr bit for murder. I was 22 yrs. old with no education and from a family that was very poor. I'm now 46 yrs. old. Stress: When seeing a 40 ft. wall that is gray and dull. Walking into one of the hardest prisons in Indiana. If that wasn't tough enough in intake I was told how young men like me are raped or killed within the first 2 yrs. of prison. The third day in prison 3 men came at me telling me that I had to pay, fight, or f**k. So I started...

Riley Beneath the surface, the concept being purely commercial, is none other than a collusive campaign to keep one in prison longer & to return a parolee to prison soon as possible as the underlying basis for somm & the additional parole stipulations for the so called sex offender; is in fact a fabrication of theories expressive more of the bizarre than of rationality As you can see, from this is created a plausibly sophisticated structure intended for a t...

Beneath the surface by C.T. Riley (The somm program & the Polygraph) I want to share some research with you on the polygraph exam for which my non-compliance in taking it was utilized to extend my incarceration. Initially I conceded to take a polygraph under the condition that; I would be given adequate time as to being informed beforehand that I may procure counsel to be present during the polygraph exam. But, as I stated earlier I was only given a 24 hour notice; which also violated due...

An excerpt from my journal. 4-7-19 Crying in my sleep. It's weird. I wake up and I seem to be sobbing really hard. I'm not sure what's going on. There are no tears or anything. Its been happening more frequently. Last night, I was dreaming of escaping somewhere. Here I was, crawling through what appeared to be a very thick mangrove. I had a couple of dogs with me. At one point, the shit we were crawling through got way too thick and it was getting dark. I think I gave up. Thats...

[no title] 12/13/18 Enclosed is an "Incident Report" from the Federal Bureau of Prisons describing a homicide that I committed, in USP Terre Haute in 2016. What I wish to explain to you, are the factors that have been left unclarified, and what has succeeded since the ordeal. The Federal Bureau of Prisons has a totalitarian attitude towards its prisoners. Unfortunately for the prisoners, guards have been brainwashed and trained that they must never negotiate, or relent with their or...

Excerpts From My Journal Travis Kirkman Dated 3-16-18 I already have a file! Some bullshit went down again tonight. My nerves are so bad that Im practically shaking right now. A little guy a few cells down was damn near beat half to death. When I discovered him, he was laying in a pool of his own blood. My first thought was that he was dead. Instinctly, I rushed to his aid. This particular incident happened around eight o'clock this evening. At half-time, I decided to step out of the cel...

Now looking out my prison window realizing that I been here since the beginning of time and may leave this place when my hairs gray or my heart no longer beats. Then the aroma hits my nostrils. As I smell and close my eyes then taste remembering my first coffee experience. Looking at the lovely face of Mom. Asking for a sip, she say no... but persist...

FRIENDS AND FAMILY CAMPAIGN TO FREE INDIANA POLITICAL PRISONER KHALFANI MALIK KHALDUN The long struggle to have the Indiana prisoncrats to release Khalfani Malik Khaldun to general population is over. It cam to an end on November 20, 2014, ten days before his 45* birthday, after spending 20 straight years in solitary confinement. This victory is bittersweet, because while housed at the New Castle Correctional Facility, working his way through a step-down program called S-T.A.N.D. (striving tow...

This line of thinking landed me a virtual life sentence in my adolescent years. Prison life I soon realize was full of weak men who neve...

An Excerpt from My Journals 11/18/17 I cried again today. The tears are beginning to form easily. It doesn’t take much. I guess I’m just super depressed. I truly miss my family. They are all so good to me. I wish I could shake my addiction. Maybe then I could be a better son. I haven’t heard from Samantha nor Draven since the last time they visited me. Maybe Draven really meant what he said. Right before they left, Draven blurted out that he hated me. At the moment I just shrugged it off and ...

Editors, I don't know if its because I write to you, or that I refuse to accept the status quo; but I write to you now from disciplinary segregation [formerly known as NICC] with a fresh 6 month of lock up time. Its probably a bit of both. You see when I got to be under 10 years, they shipped me to Westville Corr. Facility. It was clear to me that they didn't play fair. When I arrived I asked the law library supervisor to obtain my files from Pendleton Corr Facility [the reformatory...

Well the truth is I've been locked up for a very long time on what I consider a bogus charge. I'll explain a bit about that in this letter. I have been incarcerated since 1997 for the charges of attempted murder [as a non-violent crime] and a business burglary. I do regret my actions each and every day of my life. I've ...

It is Good Justice is Blind Because She Would Not Like Some Of the Things Done in Her Name if She Could See Them By Wesley I. Purkey Not long after turning 18 in 1970 I was booked in the Sedgwich County Jail, Wichita, KS after being convicted of burglary by a jury not of my peers. The jail was packed beyond capacity and because of such I was housed in one of the segregation cells on the fifth floor. The cell had a piece of plywood and a waffle size mattress for a bunk on the floor and a hole ...
