CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM I'm a Chinese immigrant and an American citizen. I'm in wrongful conviction which was decided by detective(s) and Court before investigation, only because I'm a Chinese immigrant and Chemist, thus the first charge immediately was terrorist! Which was later dropped. To convict me wrongfully, almost all kinds of the misconducts of detectives and investigator and prosecutor and judge and lawyer in legal reports happened in my case. Detective(s) destroyed ex...

For the last 3 years I have lived in fear. Fear and sorrow. Alone in a mass of humanities waste. Castaways. In roughly 60 square feet of an all—inclusive concrete and steel studio, where my toilet almost touches my bed. Most commonly called a cell. My landlord of sorts, the New Jersey Department of Corrections. I've visited five different ‘facilities’. Stripped and searched countless times. I've had a couple of rapist/murderers as bunkies (roommates) and have had to shower and shit ...

Innocence: Does a Presumption of Guilt Exist in the American Criminal Justice System? By C. Martin Sterling Americans are assured, from elementary school civics lessons to the opening montage of popular crime television shows, that every citizen is protected under the Constitution and afforded a presumption of innocence until guilt beyond a reasonable doubt is proven to a jury of peers. As a member of society who had grown up believing in this concept, I was shocked to discover the realities ...

Inside FCI Fairton Jason Gerhard An enormous amount ofmoney is spent on the federal prison system. In 2013, it was calculated at $29,291 per year, or $80.25 every day for every prisoner, all 210,000 of them.1 The billion dollar question then becomes whether this money is being spent judiciously or like the vast majority of federal programs is being misappropriated. After having spent the last six years at Federal Correctional Institution Fairton, New jersey, it has become obvious to me that t...

Darryl Petlock New Jersey No Title Dear apwa Its January 10, 2016 and am in prison in the Northeast. Most people simply change clothes with the seasons. I am standing here right now wearing a short sleeved yellow one piece jump suit, think a mechanic's uniform. I dont care about the color or even its material; the fabric is rough but I would take a jacket made out of steel wool if it ment that I would no longer be cold. I hear guards say their prisoners; sorry but right now am still a de...

11-10-19 To whom, My entire life, I am now 67 years old, I believed our justice system was the best and it worked satisfactorily. I believed one was innocent till proven guilty and our court system worked on that presumption. Now that I have seen first hand I can say our system is in need of repair. The tax paying public, who votes, needs to read stories such as mine, be empathetic and make needed changes. Our over crowded prisons not only cause hardship for those who are incarcerated but cos...

APWA, My name is William Liepe born and raised on a 600 acre farm to German ancestry. Currency family members are struggling to keep the farm above water without my help as I was incarcerated by an unfair system to an unfair term. I write in hope people will see the flaws in our legal system and change laws to keep good law abiding, honest, hard working, productive members of society out of prison. As I did, many people believe our legal system is doing a good job as it was intended. They bel...

No One Here Gets Out 5 by Carl Norman It ’s hard to die with dignity when you ’re wearing a dirty diaper. That was the first thought to cross my mind when I heard that Tony* had passed away earlier in the day while I slept. He had been my patient in the Palliative Care Program (PCP), my —and his- Virgin vigil; the first fellow prisoner I’d sat with as he lay dying. But I was someplace else, sound asleep, when he took his last breath. I had left his cell at South Wood State Prison’s Extended Ca...

The Gift of Time Colin M. Skeele Newark, N]
Being incarcerated offers an unusual gift to those who find themselves behind bars: time. There is an abundance of it! Modern American life is hectic. There simply isn't enough time to do everything. There are demands on our time from work, family, and the community. When you are serving time, you receive the gift of time. When you are incarcerated, there is no social media. You can't put off a task to check Twitter or Facebook. There ar...

January 16, 2018 Dear Public At Large, This letter/essay draws on my first hand experience as a prisoner held captive by the New Jersey system of criminal justice. I am serving a 30 year sentence, day for day, for a wrongful conviction of murder. I have completed 18 years thusfar. As happens every day in in courts across the United States, I failed to familiarize myself with the laws, rules and procedures that I needed to know after being interrogated and charged with the crime of murder. We ...

Wasted Opportunities by Colin M. Skeele Legislators simultaneously decry a lack of qualified labor for a multitude of trades and overcrowding in American jails and prisons. As the nation which incarcerates a larger percentage of its population than any other country on Earth, a solution should be obvious. Not a return to prisoner labor, but instead prisoner education, training, apprenticeships, and work release. Inmates who are idle are inmates who have time to increase their criminality. Pri...
