A Confined Reflection I am someone you never knew existed. How is that so, you question? Well, because I've been raised in a place that's the equivalent to Hates. The place where all the 'bad' people get sent to... yep, that place. How did I come about to be raise there? Not, because I was birthed badly, nor were my surroundings such, though, it was. There are many who've come from far worse situations and made good. So I will not provide some sort of excuse as to why...

Donald D. Hairgrove Alabama A Day in Life Doing time in prison is more than a falling away of the days into months, months into years and years into decades. It's a period of a prisoner's life that disappears into the shadow land of never before known loneliness, dispair and anger. No man is ever prepared to do time in prison, no matter what his background. Once inside he will be in awe by the savagery of the inmates and astounded by the callous and brutal indifference of the prison...

Sunday, December 18, 2016 A Failed Intervention? "History teaches us that men and nations behave Wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives." -- Abba Eban Here's a story I've been wanting to tell for a while now but just figured people wouldn't believe it - - either that or they would think I was nuts. But I'm beyond caring about that anymore and I believe it really is something interesting to consider. So here goes; readers can make of it what they w...

Mario Cervantes Jan. 11. 2019 A Future Can someone progress out from the shadow his past was built within? Solitary confinement. By: Mario Cervantes A Future Growing up in CYFD custody, (Children Youth and Families department.) is like growing up on a planet that Earth does not know of its existence. Then you're sent to Earth and expected to function correctly. Ending up in solitary confinement within the juvenile CYFD facilities is like a George Orwell book not written. I spent a lot of...

1# April 13 2020 Dear reader(s) A introduction into the impulsive journey of highs is how I feel. A recipient of 24 hour lock down with this Covid-19 viral pandemic has my fear and paranoia at an all time high. No alternative it seem is made to those of us who need to vent that we truely fear for the 1st time. This fear is spoken in the confessional booth aka the vent that connects our vents. I express them when APWA gives my body a voice and a chance to ask for help. The world should see thi...

A Peek on The Inside There is the common predisposed outlook of prison and life in prison by the public. It becomes ingrained by the movies and tv shows, and its glorified by the music and those who use prison for "street credit." Prison is a lot of things. But 1 thing that prison isn't is fun. This is a system meant to reform, but designed to destruct. And the worst part is that its self-perpetual. To the unfortunate individual who find themselves in this system, we come to re...

A Rebuttal to: "A Day On San Quentin's Death Row" By: James P.

As a wrongly convicted and actually innocent death row prisoner of over thirty five (35) years, I simply couldn't allow the Pacific Sun article to be...

Editor: College Hill A recent study read that there is over 1.7 million children effected by incarcerated parent. The incarceration of these children statistics show increases to an incredible level. Historical levels, the National Advisory Commission on Criminal Justice Standards and Goals clearly disproved the myth that decreasing crime rates have anything to do with increasing incarceration and announced that prisons unmistakably create crime rather than prevent it. Out of control incarcer...

Donald D. Hairgrove "A Single Unheard Voice" I truly have nothing but pity for the citizens of this State. The reason being...they are being duped for their tax dollars to fund the horrendously unconstitutional prison system. However ignorance and silence is no excuse. The exasperating taste of my world, devoid of any emotional nourishment, is gradually overpowering. Bleak and colorless walls; insipid, disgusting meals and phlegmatic, time-worn daily routines stacked upon unacceptab...

A WEEKEND IN THE HILLS by Vance Phillips The first time I went to prison . . . I was twenty-one and serving several sentences for a smorgasbord of petty crimes. I had been sentenced to a little over a year for larceny of a person, possession of a stolen firearm, possession with intent to sell marijuana, and taking the police on a high-speed chase. A Sheriff ’s Deputy drove me to Polk Youth Center, one of three North Carolina youth prisons. The prison was far out in the boondocks, miles away fr...

"A Whole Lot Deeper Then Anger" By: Brian Folsom 02-21-2020 Prison life can break anyone. When loneliness and fear drive a man or woman too deep inside themselves, faith shrivels into hopelessness. It feels like the last piece of red beating heart finally solidify's, and an infection of bitterness intensifies tenfold. The deep dark become's a very sacred thing. I truley believe when the need for somekind of meaningful human contact become's an impossibility, a soul ca...

A World With No Sky How much pain can the heart take before it turns to glass, cracks and turns to heart break? Alone I sit in my cell staring off or counting the bricks that make it up, each one a mistake I've made in my life that I wish I could undo. But like my cell, my mistakes are set in stone. What is hardest to swallow is that I'll most likely spend the rest of my life in a cell for a crime I didn't commit. I haven't been able to find the strength to make a deal wit...

Despite investing absolutely no effort in being evasive as I travelled through several states committing the tragic, regretful crimes, I was the number-eight ...

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...

Growing up in white, middle class suburbia I was, by all accounts, sheltered and blissfully ignorant. My needs were met without question and I came to regard my parents as many such teenagers do; petty tyr...

As I sit in my cage I wonder when they came up with the idea for this cage were they thinking of animals or human? I feel as if I'm in a chicken coop or a mini walk in closet without the clothes. There is a twin size iron bed mounted to the walls, it takes up half the walking room so you have as much as a door way space to living cycle. All the way at the back of the cell is a toilet with a sink connected. Today is just like any day bored with nothing to do besides think about the things...

At What Point- Freedom? There is no doubt whatever the most prevalent thought on my mind is freedom. Not a day goes by that I don't long for the chance to use my skills to give back when I once took so much. There are even times when I still cry from the karmic pain of the life I lost for the life I took. All my mistakes led me to the root of my folly: I did not understand the meaning of freedom. Certainly, I had a rudimentary knowledge of the concept of freedom from a young age, but it ...
