Alice Bingner 3744 Dexter Road Ann Arbor, MI 48103 Category: Personal Essay Word Count: 2,246 Corrections: an Exercise in Futility Currently, in the United States, it costs upwards of $50,000,000,000 plus a year to incarcerate more than 2,000,000 men, women and children. And the expense by no means stops there. While 10 percent of prisoners are menaces from whom the public needs protection, the rest would be better served - and so would society - if there were alternative sentencing for non-v...

Dear reader, From experience, I've come to realize that most of society has little remorse for the "statistics" either because they feel that a person incarcerated has it easier than the free world or the incarcerated deserves to be worse off than the free world. I am among the category of "statistics," I truly beg to differ. Yes, I am given food to eat three times a day, yes I am provided with a limited amount of supplies; even a bed to sleep on. But when facilities ...

Alice Bingner 3744 Dexter Ann' Arbor Road Ann Arbor, MI 48103 Phone: (734) 665-9760 Category: Word Count: l,4i4 My Introduction to District Court I made my way to court that first of many trips with knees of silly putty. I knew my son deserved whatever punishment the court deemed prudent - but no mother sees her 16-year old, the favorite of her brood, before a judge, without trepidation. I rode the elevator with a crowd of boys about 14. One read painstakingly aloud the sign in the eleva...

Political Education Deprived We hear the phrase, "Department of correction/rehabilitation and we automatically assume that prisons actually and primarily focus on correcting and/or rehabilitating captives. However, the total opposite occurs here behind the Amerikkklan Iron Curtain. First, we must look into the definition of the words at issue. According to Webster, correction is "the action or instance of correcting: as the action or instance of remedying or removing error or defect...

"Notice" Subject: Prison Security (Wing-Hopping) To: The American Prison Writing Archive (APWA) From: Paul R. Miller, Inmate - LLCC, Ky. Date: 7-6-2020 Hello: Something that has been allowed in some of Kentucky's prisons is wing-hopping and most of the prison crime happens because of this. It is in the policies and procedures in every prison in Kentucky that wing-hopping is not allowed but it is not enforced at all in some of the prisons. Inmates will go from wing to wing seein...

Dear Reader, January 30,2018 When I sit back and ponder on the everyday events that the private facilities keep out of the naked eyes view. It brings so much frustration and pain to me knowing that they are allowed to continuing to let it happen. Simply because they paint this beautiful picture of rehabilitation over the news channels and news papers, an in fact leave out the raw reality behind closed doors. With a system that covers all these faults and leaves only us to blame, where the for...

~Your Mother is a Sex Offender ~ By Dale Malesh We hold these truths to be self--evident. .. . A woman's place is in the home. . Blacks aren't intelligent to be Doctors, Lawyers or legislators. . All Irishman are drunks. . All Southerners are inbred. Not very many years ago, everyone knew these things to be true. The same kind of experts who told us that, the Earth is flat, and that the sun revolves around it. That only a Witch could survive being held underwater, or that Jews shoul...
