July 22, 2018 Robert John Richter For APWA Abused again Yet again, within only one day of being questioned by a senior OSI PREA investigator, I have been subjected to sexual abuse, staff voyeurism, inflicted upon me in order to intimidate, humiliate, and degrade me. The excuse, again, was an outside trip for an OMH (psych) appointment. This was just a cover. This isn't the only retaliation I have suffered. On July 2, OSI PREA investigator Bossman questioned me about my PREA complaints, b...

March 25, 2018 Robert Johan Richter Title: Addicted To Violence Prison is a great place to witness all kinds of addictions, and how far they drive their victims. Prisoners sell their meals for cigarettes, and their bodies for drugs. The most common addiction doesn't involve drugs, porn, or anything you can buy or sell. Many people, both prisoners and guards, are addicted to violence. There is a big difference, however; the guards almost never face any kind of punishment. Why do people li...

Beyond Bars: Voices of NLG Jailhouse Lawyers By Teddy Lewis This moment feels like a maze which holds many rooms yet only one of them holds the key Lately I notice that so many men like to rip and run to the yard. And try to impose their will on various things, from lifting weights to lifting a telephone. Suddenly I came to notice that my life was without legal balance because my lack of legal know how left me stagnated and without true hope. One day someone came to me and said "why"...

How nice, maybe we'll get some basic human rights next! Let's see, NYS DOCCS officials have told me in writing that I will be retaliated against if I even try to access the courts, threatened me with physical force (again, in writing) if I report their crimes to the FBI, and stolen my property and refused to compensate me. Oh, did ...

Not Me!", "Cuomo Allows Rape". I subsequently wrote about this in "What Cuomo Did". How did Raczkowski get my writings? Did Cuomo retaliate by sending my complaints to the very people I was complaining about, or was my outgoing mail stolen? I haven't received a single response ...

"G's-Us" Slavery is one of the most controversial issues in U.S. History. The historic, wholesale exploitation of black people often overshadows its economic origins and many, mistakenly, believe that slavery was based on racism. Racism was a feature of slavery that facilitated dehumanization and furthered economic aims. However, slavery's roots are buried deeply within the capitalist ideal. Property ownership and profit provide the motive for capitalism/slavery. As capita...

Some of my peers don't like the positive changes I have made; such as, not using derogatory foul language, or socializing with anyone whom I do not benefit from in a positive way. If I do go to the yard it is to exercise, help someone, or ask for help, not to hang out or around. I don't use or sell drugs, I don'...
