"Amen—Ra: An Example of the Doubt Most Prisoners Struggle with" by Deyon Neal A good dude. Unassuming. Sociable. Intelligent. Those were the first impressions that I got from observing him. Everyone in the hole called him Amen-Ra, which was Egyptian for "God". sith such a dominating presence, he could've controlled the unitls criminal activity, but he wasn't into that. He uplifted people. Everyone not only respected Ra, they looked up to him. "what joint you...

APWA Essay By: C. Velthuysen [ID] Nov. 2019 As I sit in my prison cell looking at this picture a friend sent me years ago, I recall all the sandy beaches I used to visit on vacations with my friends & family. Even though I will not ever go to this beach, as its Johannesburg, South Africa; I wish I could, and do because my friend from Virginia has told me all about it in her letters. These are the vacations I now take, that even though are through others, I can let my self go (almost) ther...

"Existing...Not Living" By: John Sobleskey Baraga, MI Those three words, "existing...not living," basically sum up the realization of a natural life sentence in prison. I had just turned nineteen and had been on a three week long drug and alcohol binge. Then wham! Reality came slamming down. In all actuality though, I was sobering up as the door to the cell was slamming closed. Yup, I was in the county jail. I had been charged with first degree murder, and later, convicted...

First Day Out by Deyon A. Neal They feared I would be a problem. It took them three days to actually follow through with the decision. whenever they brought a convict an army- green duffle bag and told him to pack up, he left in a few hours tops. I had seen hundreds of guys released from administrative segregation at Baraga Max (henceforth, sag’) and I'd never seen the staff tell any of them that their Friday release had been rescheduled until the following Monday morning. The radio in m...

Modern-Day Slavery From a Natural-Born White Citizen Growing up (white) in prison and being around other white folks was & still is weird for me, as I was raised in the 70's & 80's in Detroit's east side; went to an all-black high school; and had no white friends, until being incarcerated at (17) years old. By being in an environment like prison where not only the guards treat you like a piece of (****); but you have to battle the whole system of prison/government offic...

The weight of Ignorance By Dsyon Neal An inmate once told me ignorance is why we come to prison and why we stay. when my retained appellate attorney told me she would no longer represent me, I went into despair. we were only at the Michigan Supreme Court phase. I still had a federal habeas corpus petition to file and, if necessary, subsequent appeals for that. Not to mention a 6.500 Motion for Relief From Judgement in trial court if the habeas petition was denied. I only had a GED certificate...

"To Retaliate and Rob Taxpayers" At some point in the last several years the mighty Michigan Department of Corrections (hereafter MDOC) abandoned its idiotic slogan "Expecting Excellence Everyday" and adopted the even more oxymoronic slogan "Committed to Protect Dedicated to Success"!! Really? I mean, Really?? Each year approximately 130 civil rights claims are filed against the MDOC and its employees for all manners of abuse, prisoner rape, torture, wrongful dea...

"Typical example of Prison Corruption" 8-29-18 
 I have written over 50 articles depicting the many and varied Department of Corrections crimes and corruption! It is a fact that prison officials have a literal "license" to violate statutes, laws, both constitutions, civil rights and in the extreme, human rights. I've experienced the extreme several times. Most taxpayers do not comprehend that it is "their" tax dollars that are used to "defend" thes...
