Another One Bites The Dust... And down goes NY Gov. Eliot Spitzer, Mr. Law and Order. Not only did the Crime—Fighting Crusader cheat on his wife, but he used his government position and its resources to conceal his repeated purchases of women's services. He learned a little over the years as he vigorously prosecuted prostitution rings, but apparently not enough to get away with it himself. We see this hypocrisy all the time, and the usual response is, "How tragic. The poor (rich) ma...

A man who clearly used his elected position for personal gain — lthe word "bribery" is the only one that comes to mind — got away with it. At first I thought, This must be...

The Attica Riot of 1971 was a prisoners' response to the inhumane conditions and abuses suffered at the hands of "corrections." The response to injustice is though only part of the equation. The transformative process began in the 1950s out of the struggle by African-Americans for civil rights. 1952 alone saw 25 serious riots which threatened the fo...

‘Counting Pictures'Segment What follows is a segment from my book ‘Counting Pictures‘. It is currently (4/2017) unpublished. It's about my personal experience being accused, indicted and convicted as a 'sex offender’, a term that is loaded down with negative connotations in our society. In many cases the connotations and inferences have little or nothing to do with the offense itself or with the laws now being employed to prosecute ‘offenders’. There is in the Federal Legal Sys...

Does My Daddy Love Me? Issues faced by the Incarcerated Father. by Mirado Crow As a father, we are already looked upon as the wallet and sole support system by most people; and worse, the Courts. Most states have expanded the rights of unmarried fathers, but such expansion has been of little to no help in the long run. What’s sad, is the fact that the Court’s don’t even take into consideration what truly is in the Best Interest of the Child; so the children, our children, suffer in the end. A...

"Father Alert" One of the most effective systems which we have today to locate missing or abducted children is the Amber Alert. Though the use of the national system rose out of tragedy, its current use has facilitated the return of countless children. In a way, we are facing a similar problem: missing fathers. And maybe it is time to create a Father Alert system. I know where we can begin to implement such a system — U.S. prisons. The U.S. prison system houses millions of men; mill...

From Medicine to Healing Corey John Richardson Today, as I look back, I believe that the mast amazing thing is that I never realized that I would end up in prison. One would think that I would have seen it coming, but I did not. I guess that I was more "dry" than sober. All the wreckage of my past needed to be cleaned up. Sooner or later, by the grace of God, I finally got it. Thinking as usual that I am the center of the universe, I would expect that my life's story would be e...

Maybe I showed my hand too quickly. I am a fool. I spun a web and got caught in it. I dug a hole and jumped in. Maybe I wasted the only chance I had, and the good years are all behind me now. I have nothing left to live for. I am utterly alone. Only my failure and shame keep me company. Maybe I will never be happy, or ma...

A few years ago, I was facing a lot of prison time for a rather atypical white collar crime... and my co-defendant had just taken a deal in the middle of our joint trial. For those of you who do not know about the system, this ensured that I would be the one to go away for quite awhile. I was paralyzed with fear. Surely, I would be a target, and not just because of...

How to file an Effective Grievance by: Mirado Crow There will come a time during a prisoner’s incarceration that he or she wishes to resolve an institutional problem or constitutional violation. In many jurisdictions, there are different ways to handle these types of issues. The grievance system was built so that prisoners can safely petition their keepers for a redress of an issue. This is a guaranty by the United States Constitution, under the Petition Clause. Originally, this was only a Fed...
