1 Word Count: 2347 B.G. Jacobs New York Food For Thought Lying on an uncomfortable, two-inch vinyl mattress, in a stifling prison cell, I was at peace for the first time in a long time. Eyes closed, my mind was centered on one thought: what can I use for an ersatz flour to make dough? (Pastelios were in my immediate future.) I was finally away from the stress and madness of prison and safely locked away in my thoughts of food. Cooking is a way for me to both relieve stress and express myself....

Ken Sherman Wisconsin Department of Corrections Hamilton College\The American Prison Writing Archive (APWA) Here is another brief overview into the drastic conditions and behavior is that us as inmates and offenders have to suffer thru. This last year has been Hell for others and me. First off, the WI.DOC has been severely overcrowded. I have had to file a legal action on behalf of others and myself for a transfer that was against state laws and codes. I've watched the medical system her...

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...

Ken Sherman Wisconsin Prison Life Well first off the Prison System has changed from early 2000's. Now half of guys coming in are for drug offenses, and need treatment, not incarceration. Now I just got transferred back from Milwaukee Secure Detention facility because Dodge intake was overcrowded. Well while at Milwaukee Secure, I've watched/seen guards have racial discrimination against whites, punishments, job placement all favored toward black inmates. I lost a good friend at Milw...

Demagogue Pennsylvania What the Prison System should teach Americans This article/editorial/opinion isn't about our standard topics. Most people writing from the inside of our nation's state-of-the-art incarceration system speak of an us/them form of class struggle, of democracy and the feeling of being disempowered.
