2nd Class Citizens Assert 1st Amendment Rights Col. Writ. 11/14/14 Copyright Bryant Arroyo In the dead of the night Gov. Tom Corbett huddled with the choir of the legislature and the rest of his cronies (FOP) whom introduced an invidious, unconstitutional 'Chilling Effect' tantamount to a 'civil choke hold.' Gov. Corbett signed both HB2533 & SB508 on Oct. 3, 2014, which is legally unprecedented and has far-reaching implications that specifically targets and impacts for...

Part One Do I agree with Freda Adler’s quote that “[ a] crime is anything that a group in power chooses to prohibit”? In the context of our American democracy, Adler’s quote is pretty close to an exact definition of how an act that is perceived to be wrong is codified into a body of penal laws.1 An elected body of legislators, i.e. the “group in power”, determines what public wrongs should be deemed wrong enough to be labeled a crime and, as such, carry along with them punitive measures. When A...

"A Criminal End" By: Mr. Tracy "Hollywood" Glenn March 25th 2D1h Prison has a way of sometimes helping one find another path, one that is seemingly reachable that one could not see beforehand from the offense that has one there locked away. If I were to tell you this correspondence is being written by one man who has at 50 years of age no high school diploma or B.E.D. could you believe it? Prison for me today is demoralizing and it has no place in my efforts to fulfill in ...

Keith Burley Pennsylvania A Definition of freedom One form of freedom is the ability to recognize the truth. For when someone has the ability to recognize the truth, he is free from an intellectual perspective, and a rational perspective. It is a form of "MENTAL ENSLAVEMENT" when someone knows the truth, yet does not recognize it. Consider someone with an addiction to cigarette's. He knows that they are poisonous in that they cause cancer and other ailments. However, if this pe...

A VIEW FROM THE BOTTOM by Burl N. Corbett The legal profession loves to quote the hoary aphorism "We are a nation of laws" to wheedle the rest of us into sanctioning their self—appointed role as our protector. The platitude's bitter truth, however, soon becomes apparent to those accused of a crime when he or she finds themself charged with not only the primary offense, but a slumgullion of barely applicable sister charges, an obnoxious practice of flinging every conceivable all...

Addendum to #32392 Commutation Application: Sylvia Boykin In my own Words, these are the detailed facts of my crime and how I was involved: On May 15, 1992 at around 1:30pm in Philadelphia, PA, I drove Aaron Jones and Antwan Blagman to the residence of Mrs. Pope for the purpose of collecting money owed for illegal drugs. We planned to peacefully collect the money. While inside the residence of Mrs. Pope, I asked her for the money and she told me she didn’t have it. I went back to the car to t...

ALONE WOTH NOBODY For many that are incarcerated, being alone hurts more often than any other pain we may experience. Having no one to share the ideas, thoughts and passions we have, slowly but surely destroys a person behind bars. Loneliness turns to self—destruction, forcing individuals to engage in behaviors one would be appalled by. My message to those incarcerated is for all of us to start seeking p0Sil'iV€ interactions with people out in the communities. Instead of focusing on how ...

An Organization That Matters By Dan Grote I'm not very good at robbing banks. I wasn't all that great of a father and, for numerous reasons, a failure as a husband, son, friend and brother. I would have no problem filling volumes with my faults, shortcomings and mistakes, but turns out getting locked up was something I had a knack for. February, 2013. I'm estranged from a wife who hates me, two young boys who will learn to. I'm homeless, I'm desperate and it's ge...

We look to our government for justice. Judgement and Justice do not share the same bed; though they frequently work together and are often seen in each others company. In the minds of babes, the seeds of Justice are planted; along with the directions on where and how to find it. In this country as children, we grow and le...

Bill HB-2386 by Christopher Balmer GX-5754, SCI Forest In the summer 20 14 Correctional Forum, Bill HB-2386 (submitted by Rep. T .. Stephens, R.-Montgomery County). was printed for people to see. Happily the Prison Society opposes such a Bill. Rep. T . Stephens attempted to have a bill passed that would garnish at/east 25% of wages prisoners make working in prison, and 75% of all deposits made to an inmate's personal account. Apparently, Rep. T. Stephens doesn' t understand prison e...

* CHOICES & ALTERNATIVES By Hr. Tracy Glenn * June 22, 2014 There are many alternatives to the choices I've made of the past. Easily, I made them living the way I lived in another lane that was taught to me. So free, yet so far from reality, it tends to make me sick to my stomach today as I sit & write now. An understanding now that I have where before I make a choice there has to be a moment or some time before I make the choice which leads to the action that could be a fatal on...

Circumstance of Incarceration By Tafari Tai I would say good day, except mines has been anything but. This is my attempt at trying to express my circumstances of incarceration through written words. I hope my description of being a prisoner in the modern day plantation which is more currently known as the United States of America's Prison System, is as insane, miserable, negative, oppressive and lonely as the reality of living it. I mean it can't be all that hard writing about here,...

by Christopher Balmer People vs. the Animals: When we think of confinement, automatically prison flashes in our minds: 16 x 9 foot cells, unsanitary conditions, loud noise, loneliness, depression, etc. are all a part of solitary confinement in prison. Mass incarceration strips the freedom of every human being who becomes incarcerated. But what about human behavior that strips the natural habitats of animals across the world? In my eyes, animals have the natural right to enjoy the freedom of lif...

CONTROL YOUR OWN FUTURE When I was ten years old, my family moved to Galeton in Potter County, Pennsylvania. Galeton was a beautiful country town filled with endless possibilities. During that move, I was locked up in juvenile placement. Three years later, I was released and sent home to my mom and dad, on October 21, 2001. I was thirteen. I started the eighth grade at Galeton Area High School and was placed in emotional support classes. My time out of juvenile placement was rough. I had probl...

Drugs, Gangs + Dropouts in the B.O.P. by Nate A. Lindell created 6 March 2015 My first encounter with dope was from watching "Miami Vice." It was the 80's and the show was a hit. Practically every episode showed too-cool cops busting arrogant hoods with what was, to me, magical powders, cocaine + heroin. Unknown to me at the time (I was in grade school), my mom was using both of those magical powders. Then, one day, after I came home from the third grade, my siblings + I found ...
