1969 Nineteen Sixty Nine was the year that everything in my world changed. This was the year that I lost my innocence, my journey into adulthood, the most transformative year of my life; my trip down the “Rabbit Hole,” so to speak. For me, it was the most important year of my life. I was 16 and very seriously trying to be an adult. It wasn’t working out as well as I wanted it to. I was trying to do too much for my age, education and worldly experience. Innocence, once lost, can never be regai...

5 Positive Steps to Reform Prisons December 9, 2013 Renowned prison reform activist Ken Hartman gives his insights into how we can reform our broken system. We already know the prisons in this country are broken, and we have begun the process of rethinking the idea of what incarceration means, should mean, and will mean in the future. Punishment for the sake of inflicting pain has lost its hold on the public's imagination. And not a moment too soon, because the damage done is extensive. ...

7My voice through the prison walls By: Inmate Ricky Vincent Pendleton II I think rehabilitation is a propaganda word used by the lawmakers to cover their motives Exploiting the inmates in a business venture. The whole prison industry is a "for profit" industry; from my reading is a billion dollars industry. How am I supposed to cope in here and seeing the corrupt acts of people...? I have to control the things in my life. Rehabilitation is on the individual prisoner, he/she has to d...

Kenneth Hartman Prison Writer November 30, 2010 8 Accurate Books To Read About Life In Prison (PHOTOS) I can't count the number of times I've been asked what books and movies I'd recommend to get a better understanding of prison. It's the very nature and design of this world, with all the barriers both real and metaphorical, that makes getting a clear understanding difficult to gain. Most folk's sense of this reality is formed in the dark of a movie theater or in the ...

A Pollyana in the Penitentiary by Danny Cherry As I sat reading Executive Regional Director Michael Osburn's response, I just shook my head and chuckled. I was way beyond the point of disgust given all that had happened up until that point. Writing the commissioner had always proven itself to be an exercise in futility, however, my conscious reasoning would never allow me to rest unless I dissented from the recidivistic conditioning of the Indiana State Reformatory. Initially, I became d...

A Brief Comment on Prison Reform in De-Christianized Society St Thomas More once wrote a letter to console his daughter before his execution. He drew out a lengthy allergy of prison—like nature of life, and God-as- the-executioner, given the fact of certain pain of death. He argues that the degree of restriction while waiting for execution does not change the fact of the punishment at the end. The man in prison has limited physical freedom, but none the less enjoys the same freedom to meet hi...

A Cesspool Full of Drecks by Danny Cherry As I lay there in excruciating agony caused by the severe infection that had resulted from my untreated burns, I tried very hard not to cry. My salted tears only exacerbated the wounds on the left side of my face. The pain was crippling; it paralyzed me. My wounds bled profusely and oozed puss incessantly. My sheet and blanket were ruined -- stained with the essence of my tortured being. I wondered how much more that my body could bear before it yield...

Suddenly I stood and move to the center of the of the cell to perform a simple test. Sure enough standing in the [modd?] middle I was able to touch opposent walls with outstretched arms. The cell was about about eight by five. Five feet wide and eight feet long. A cement box smaller than the size of a home bath room. The cement walls, floors, and c...

I am a gay male serving time in federal prison, I will be here until the date of March 17, 2019, unless the laws change and I get some relief, or if I get clemency form the President of the United States. Since I do not see the later two items happening in a way that will benefit me, then I am counting on the March 2019 date. Life in a federal prison for a gay man is not as good as ...

A Lonely World "Out of sight, out of mind." That is the saying that rings with a lot of truth to it once you get locked up. When you come to prison you learn, rather quickly, just who it is you can count on to keep in touch from the outside. Whether it is by letter, by visit or even by phone call. A person's true colors eventually show through. lt makes doing time that much more difficult. I'm not saying that the time can't be done, just that it's going to take a...

A Practical Approach to Prison Reform As we progress further into the twenty-first century, one thing is clear: serious changes need to be made to the American prison system. America has become a society with the highest incarceration rate of any nation in the world. And with well over two million men and women in America's prisons, there are more people incarcerated in the United States than any other country. In an age of record budget deficits and massive national debt, it would appea...

A Prisoner's Purpose By Kenneth Hartman Tear gas is more a presence then a smell. It clings to the back of your throat, a chemically induced feather that provokes a coughing fit after each attempt at a breath. It is one of the "less lethal" force options deployed in prison to quell a riot. On one windy, Southern California day, l could see that the last few wisps of tear gas blowing off the yard as the guards finally came back through the gates, the violence essentially over, t...

A RISING TIDE LIFTS ALL BOATS By DARIN BUFALINOT There is a proverb that says a rising tide lifts all boats. The colloquial -or simile being that a good thing for one is a good thing for all. Of course there is always an exception, in this case if the boat happens to be on the bottom of the ocean or anchored so that it can not move freely it will not rise on the tide. If we look at some of the recent laws enacted in the United States to protect now recognized constitutional rights and just fo...

When it comes to his religion, he is convinced, after much heartfelt & prayerful seeking, that Mormonism, which happens to be the religion he was raised in, is the One True Faith. It is his assertion that modern Christianity broke from its genuine roots in the 3rd & 4th ...

At issue, whether she received a fair trial, or not. At stake: freedom, or a possible life in an Italian prison. This was the culmination to over a week of coverage detailing every aspect of the miscarriage perpetrated during Ms. Knox's prosecution. We were inculcated in each misusage of contam...

And though the uncertainties about my life and my future seemed enormous, deep in my heart I knew that I would be going to prison. My feelings of helplessness were overwhelming. What the future held for my young family was unclear. As my mind drifted between memories of the past and thoughts of what might have been, feelings of helplessness began to c...
