Michael Rhynes Attica on My Mind My day begins by getting up before the contemporary version of Pavlov's bell rings, a half hour before count, which starts at 7:00 AM. While performing my morning ritual of washing my face, brushing my teeth, and combing my hair, with such mindless devotion it would send a marine sergeant into authoritarian fits of glee, I subconsciously search for a way to affirm my humanity.

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"...

You deprive a white correction officer of sex, conversation, and relationship with women up in esp Attica Correctional facility, the officers take their depression, hurt, emotions, and frustration violently out on the inmates. they will kill inmates. Its not a white or black thing. Even the bullies and gangsters get jealous and envy another man who has a woman on their s...

If you take a deeper view you will realize that this government chase af...

One of the prisoners told me "get up out of your seat, I want to sit down," I said "no". He then punched me in my face. When I was home, I tried to talk to a girl. She told her boyfriend and he came up to me and punched me in my face. I did not know she had a boyfriend. Boys harassed...

On Making Clear the Source of Violence Few experiences are more dehumanizing than being told, with contagion everywhere, that you are to be confided with hundreds of other people, under color of law, for your "health." It also sharpens our perception as to who holds the real power and wields the true violence over our lives. Prison officials often accept gangs and racial "cars" (groups) because, they say, it helps them maintain order. Your racial identity or affiliation is...

 Over the years of my incarceration I have made many changes in my life for the good and I refuse to let anyone take that away from me. 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'...
