"1st Amendment Under Siege" Recently last year (May,2016) Arkansas Department of Correction Czarina Wendy Kelly issued a rather fastidious policy that cited newspaper clippings would be banned from prisoner mail, classifying them as (wait for it - with bated breath) "contraband"!? According [ineligible] to ADC (Ay, Carumba! Arkansas Department of Corruption) policy, they are... concerned about drug smuggling but said vitiated policy does not affect newspapers sent directly...

4 year old nephew travels across the state to visit, but is denied by prison staff About a month or so ago I made arrangements with my family about when they would visit me. I was excited to meet my 4-year old nephew named Carter for the first time ever, as well as my 6 year old nephew Keegan. I needed to get my 4-year old nephew Carter on my visit list so my parents, who were traveling across the state of South Dakota to visit me with him could get in to see me. I contacted the Unit Coordina...

4993 Word Essay At the age of sixteen I was incarcerated for First Degree Murder and later sentenced to 77-years in prison. There seemed to be little consideration of the affects it would have on a teenager to be housed with adults. Fortunately for me I was a fighter. There is a strange unwritten rule in prison that if somebody is willing to stick up for himself from day one then other prisoners will be willing to help him. If you don't stand up for yourself then you are left to the wolv...

Approximately a week before North Carolina prisoners are released, their city or county law enforcement, are aware of the prisoners release. At this point the ex-felon becomes prey to a racial criminal justice system...

A deaf person would probably welcome it, but I'm sure that it has driven many men mad at its extreme! Noise; all kinds of and all levels and durations. Music is simply noise of another kind to some and not all singing is truly welcome. On an air craft carrier the noise is not just loud in decibels, but nearly constant with launch and recovery operations around the clock. In prison, the noise is both loud and persistent with a little easing of the din in early morning hours. Normally, the...

It is the largest prison in the state however, being located on the Eastern Shore it often feels like being in another country. I have been incarcerated for 30 years and in that time I have seen the health care providers go from very good to very bad, to what it is now “Mediocre”. As you can guess just about any inmate can give you some horror stories about the medical care in p...

My travels into Quebec and Mexico taught me that every street sign, television or radio program, menu, and all product packaging provides a lesson in language.

However, I would rather be remembered as Michael. Though I am now a felon, it wasn’t how my life began. I was the third of eight children...

A Renaissance by Stephen Whetzel Page 1 of 12 It started with a visit to the psychologist. Behind the ominous, gray, concrete wall surrounding the Indiana State Reformatory, not many areas existed where one could go to in order to escape the late summer heat. That old maximum-security prison, a place born of a harsher time, was never known for comforts. Therefore, whether or not I felt the need for a counseling session with Eric, my psychologist and substance abuse counselor, I looked forward...
