‘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 It is currently (4/2017) unpublished.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...

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...

Life Without Parole 1-6-17 I ask myself daily how I messed up my life so badly in 2000 that I now serve Life without parole? How does a 28 year old American who happens to be white and grew up in the suburbs of Cincinnati, OHIO end up in prison for the first time with no outdate or parole date? To begin my tale I will state that I was molested as a child by not 1 person but by 2. In the Second grade at a Catholic School, a Priest named Putnick messed up my whole peaceful world and violated my...

 It was a cold February 12th 2014, my wife was at work and I was in my home office working and drinking my coffee when my doorbell rang.

Playing with the Giants Last night I watched a movie in the prison chapel, and it was called "Playing with Giants". Its about a coach and his high school football team. This team was under manned, out sized and did not have the talent and speed as most other teams they played. They had a losing record for six years and has never been to the playoffs. A state championship was not even thinkable. The coach and his wife were christian people but were not using Gods help in their lives....

Positive Thinking It may be hard to have and show a positive attitude and thinking while warehoused in a prison or a prison camp but if you forget the mistakes you made in the past and inprove on them and learn not to make the mistakes again it is a start. Don't be ashamed of what you did and who you were that is over. Now start a new chapter in your life making all positive out comes. You can turn this negative into a positive if you will just let. Negative things may happen while you a...

PUNITIVE EXCESS: SEX OFFENDER LAWS Pornography offenses are defined by a non—specific lexicon, a terminology touted to inflame public hysteria and outrage and to drive crude legislative initiatives through Congress. This terminology is used indiscriminately without constitutional relevancy or definition and with little regard for the particulars of each individual case. It is supercharged with negative connotations in our society and, as in witch trials of another era, its very vagueness cons...

The Accident That Changed My Life in Prison An inmate remembers his bond with a prison employee who was more than just "one of them." By DEREK R. TRUMBO, SR. This article was published in collaboration with Vice. I worked for the same boss for eight years, a long time for an inmate to hold a job in prison. The day he hired me all those years ago - for a maintenance gig that paid barely $2.00 a day - he said, "If you don't show up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed every morning ...

The Tale of Books 2/22/2019 This is a sad story. No one is getting books. No magazines too. And even more letters are not getting through. It all comes down to the laziness of the employees in the mail room. A friend sent me a book called "Relax into Yoga: For Seniors" It arrived Dec 13th in the mailroom. It is now mid-February. After 2 months it was finally returned to Amazon with the notation to Amazon that the elderly lady on the cover of the book, in a yoga outfit, was dressed i...

Whoose your buddy? As a self surrender, non-violent, white collar criminal, I had no idea what to expect as I prepared to go to a federal prison camp. My daughter and her husband came to my home a few nights earlier, to help me pack my things... which was nothing. The next day we drove to spend time at her house, the night before I was to report to R & D. They took me out to an upscale restaurant. It was a steakhouse for my final real world meal. The porterhouse was $70.00 My appetite was...
