28 Days From Nirvana By George Kayer My condition is so rare, on the North American continent less than 3,400 people are stricken by it. The population of this continent: home to Canada, Mexico and the U.S.A. is estimated at half a billion people . Through government reports, we know it's found in only 36 areas in the United States. The mortality rate is 40% to 93% depending on a state's resources and its government's willingness to aggressively combat this rare condition. Rega...

Imagine you are sooo mental not there every time you poop you smear your poop all over your cell walls and floor and staff refuses to clean up your cell and leaves you in that cell 24-7-365—and makes you eat in your cell with poop all over the walls and your body—once a week or so you are forcibly removed from your cell and the cell sort of cleaned any you force sh...

Free internet access for all humans should be a basic human right like freedom is. Then all humans can educate themselves for free with all free education courses out there- MOOC - Massive Open Online Courses. To pay for this put a small tax on all internet transactions - that will pay for buying the cell phone companies and for maintenance and upgrades. If the telecoms resist this just buy the smallest wireless company and the sales pitch is - look if you use our service when the investment ...

[no title] Is lady justice really blind? According to the United States Supreme court, the prosecutor's goal "Is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done". 1 Shockingly in many instances this is not the case. Prosecutors are known to go to extreme ends to obtain a conviction. For example in Maricopa County, Arizona, prosecutors are notorious for using jail-house informants - with no prior relationship to defendants - as witnesses in a trial. These informants...

Let me share my personal story and experiences in the corrupt Arizona Department of Corrections. Money over human rights and basic human compassion runs deep.

I would like to start out by stating a few things that made me start to think about all of this. Arizona State was sued by the teachers and the Department of Education and won 392 or so milli...

Prior to my incarceration, I was employed for over a decade as a paramedic crew member of flight teams that transported critical care patients by aircraft and ambulances similar to what you see everyday, racing through city streets.

One of the most important of these decisions of available resources, if not the most important, is medical care. During my court proceedings I was given the option of sentencing in ...

Alejandro Quintana Arizona Next Week Profit over Justice “Prison has become more profit than justice.” Every year taxpayers are given a bill to pay by their state penitentiaries. The amount is derived by an average of the base sum of $33,000, a figure which is estimated by the D.O.C to be the amount of money it takes to house an average non-violent inmate. Within the bill footed by taxpayers every last detail is included so why is it that D.O.C still charges $2.00 per month utilities and %1 o...

Unlike most of the other stories you hear, I was raised in a home with a mother and step father, neither of them abused drugs or alcohol. Everythi...

Is that what happens when someone goes to prison? I remember when I began my 25 year sentence. I thought there's no way I can do a lifetime in a cage. I told my mother I'd rather risk it all to live free or die in the wire than live life in chains. In 19...

I found it amazing the shift someone like me has to make from the real world, where I was a respected professional, to here, where I’m clearly not. I had to figure out what and who I was again.

Only one who has nothing to tie them down, who keeps to themselves an who personifies stealth can be hired to do the job of the Cleaner - eliminating a mess of a sloppy, careless...
