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...

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...

"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...

From my prison cell... by Corey John Richardson, MPAS, BHSC Maybe I am too sensitive, too kind, too weak, too eager to please, too proud, and I gave in too easily once again. 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...

How Some Men Find Love... by Corey John Richardson We don't always do the right things. For me, I rarely did the right ones. 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...

It is not about money, and we can't achieve it like we develop our muscles at the gym or our minds at a library. Yes, you would be right, and yet not completely. In the beginning, early recovery for me was not a onewtime, blazing light of epiphany, but a little spark followed by much ...

Surrounded by Prayers 
 As I sit here, a Roman Catholic, absorbing yet another Buddhist text, I call to mind one of those seemingly inconsequential and pithy adages thrown about at AA home groups all over the world: "Take what you need, and leave the rest." Before entering AA, sadly, that was my philosophy of life. I took and took and took what I thought I needed and disparaged the rest. I was a bottomless pit of need (and drama). I shudder when I look back at the damage that I caus...

The Convict Activist / The Convict Vote by Corey John Richardson I'm angry. No, I'm furious — and it's been stewing, brewing, and percolating for years. It's not because of deeper cuts in our already sub-par education, health care, and other social services due in large part to the continuous expansion of the U.S. prison system. Not because more and more evidence of rampant prosecutorial abuse surfaces all the time. Not because of the disproportionate application of the de...

It does appear though that the national crisis occurring within the US prison system may have reached an impasse. California, the home of "3 Strikes" legislation, is...

Each morning, year after year, as I would pry one eye open and survey the damage -- and not always from the vantage ...
