Arboretum by Karter Kane Reed I stood there staring My heart wrenched My feet like anchors Unable to turn away from the horror Behind the double row of fences topped with glistening razorwire Lay the greens and browns of trees Swaying in the majestic beauty And it pains me to see them caged that way Behind those fences Unable to breathe Suffocated It's inhumane! The loudspeaker comes to life, and a Voice tells me It's time to go The trees hardly seem to notice Oblivious to my pain A...

Title: Brown Persuasion Mi linda raza: Since ancient times we've suffered and withstood torrents of conquerers and invaders on our tierra. The affects we've suffered have almost disintegrated the social order of our brown culture. We must attempt to fully understand and recognize what this perpetual turmoil did to our raza's character. But of course, it's one thing to understand and another to feel, and not allow our positions to lead us to become just another addition of ...

Villa On July 1st, 2011, California inmates at Pelican Bay State Prison ignited a prisoner hunger strike to call attention to the inhumane conditions in the state ’s Security Housing Units (SH Us).

Far FY0111 Home by Karter Kane Reed Welcome home, I think to myself ' The home of the dead Buried just a stone’s throw from your world Yet a world away But I breathe the same air I’m a caged animal No different than you Just a smaller cage Under the same sky Bound to my shadow by the same sun But confined to myself Ostracized from pleasure Alone in contagious misery A life left unlived An unturned stone Under an overcast sky Free to dream... So again I close my eyes Free to dream

Fate? For the past fourteen years of my life I have unfortunately been incarcerated. In that time I have met a countless number of individuals, characters and have had different cellmates. The past year has not been the best for me, but by far has not been the worse. As sad as this may sound I reflect on the best years I have had in prison with a cellmate who became my bestfriend and what I believe to be as close to having a brother. In 2010 I was 27 years old, had nine years in of being inca...

FLORIDA ELDERLY INMATASIAE ABUSE BY PRISON GANGS Violence and extortion toward the elderly Florida prison inmate is escalating because of the proliferation of Florida prison gangs. Prison gangs prey on the elderly inmates more than any other group of inmates. Old men are being robbed of all their possessions, forced to spend their money on these thugs in the canteen, sexually assaulted sometimes and beaten up if they refuse to cooperate with these gangs. The solution to this growing inhumane ...

John T. Cramer Pennsylvania Frozen in Time I have been away for 18 years, out of touch of society & life, all of its happiness & sadness. Highs & lows. I went to prison in 1996 and in my mind it is still 96. There was no internet, no cell phones, cars didn't park themselves. The world that we know was safe from terrorists and 9/11 was unthinkable. My child was a child, not a mother of 2 herself. Everyone is still alive and young. In two years my freezer door will open, how do...

Hello! Well, my name is Antony and since I've been here for very little time. I don't have much to say. The truth is and the only problem here is that I miss my family too much. Since I arrived here, that is the only thing that won't leave me in peace. I also feel uncomfortable because I have never been in prison. Even though I came with people who are good and I try to entertain myself playing soccer, but I still return to where I sleep and the sadness continues. For now, that...

Homero Ortune 12/4/14 Hello. This time I will tell you about how my life is in prison. I can't be complaining because I committed the mistake but I think that everyone deserves fair treatment and in the 5 years that I have been in prison I have seen many injustices; for example, when you feel bad you put in a "call" for the doctor and they don't see you until you are almost dying. Another is with several officials who make your life impossible just because they want you to...

The only thing is that I cannot see is my family, but I call them by phone every once in a while, but for food, well here, they give us three meals but yeah they treat us well. I don't complain. Up until now, I live life clean. I cook, I eat when I want. I wash when I want. Every day they wash the clothes for us. I am healthy. So far, I ne...

I See Said the Blind Man as He Looked at His Hammer and Saw By Darin Bufalino 1/7/2015 Of the over 2 million men,women and children incarcerated in the United States,85% of those incarcerations are rooted in some sort of alcohol,drug or substance abuse. The numbers you have just read are not fictional nor is the following story.What you have just read is sad,what you are about to read has broken more hardened criminals than any sentence a trial court could handout. This is a familiar story to...

NO TITLE It's what you make of it and reflects your values... I'm thirty-five years old and currently incarcerated. This is my first time being in prison, and frankly I am a little astonished by what I see here. Prison; and those that advocate them, espouse the idea of reforming bad behaviors, fixing addictions, and in working towards preventing recidivism. Yet there are more rules being placed that prevent prisoners from doing those very goals! Higher education was removed years ag...

I am very much different than you. and very much the same. - » Growing up, I was a pretty smart kid and learned readily, something I carried with me into adulthood.

Magic and Old Milwaukee by Timothy J. Muise ******* In high school I built dories! That's right, I was in a class for what they called "behavioral problems" and we built 19', lap streak, Cape Banks dories. It was a wonderful class and I learned there about pride and accomplishment; I learned about the soul of a Gloucesterman. Project Adventure did more than limit the trouble I got into, but it afforded me the life skills I would need to survive a very tumultuous life that ...

The doctor, when someone has a health problem they go to see the doctor and they only give him some pills for the pain and the truth is that they ignore us, unless they see that you are dying. The food is really bad, very small portions. We got lunch taken away, and replaced with a paper bag that truly has almost nothing in it. Ifyou co...
