Excessive Sentencing My name is Roger Upchurch and I am a seventy one year old inmate serving a forty eight month sentence and thanks to the First Step passed in December 2018 I will be out on June 23rd, because of the program if you are sixty or older, and 2/3 of sentence. I am to be released upon reaching two thirds of my full sentence, which is June 23rd, 2020. My stay here at the Federal Prison Camp in Ashland Kentucky has been nothing more that a camp with around two hundred men. Playing...

5-24-18 I am KY D.O.C. inmate ###### George Luna currently serving a life without parole sentence.

I was ordered to get up onto the segregation building and tear th...

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...

My First Year Down My experiences living at the Federal Prison Camp
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. It was Lewis showing me his DEA badge and had about ten other men and women with him. He waved a paper in front of me and said that they are searching my house. He said that I was selling a banned product called XRL11. I told him that I never heard of that and never bought it. It did not ma...

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...

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 ...
