(666) Essay by, Frederick Radford 7/11/2016 One reason I chose to title this essay “666”, is because I’m thirty six years old and 36 = 3 / 6’s = 666. Even though I am a peace maker, I’ve been battling the beast for so long that it has literally put me in beast mode! Like I said, I’m thirty six years old, on this day and I thank God that death hasn’t conquered me yet. From my understanding, I feel like “life” is designed to-program-all of us into pawns. We live in a system that is designed to ...

A brand new beginning awaits us all By Darrell Sharpe, MA The windows here at the MCI Norfolk Prison-Security Housing unity extend from floor to ceiling, about eight feet high. They're only five inches wide-impossible for anyone to escape through, and the glass is clear. That surprised me. Most segregation units I've landed in have cell windows that are completely frosted over from the outside, making it impossible to look through them. But here at MCI Norfolk we have lots of beauti...

"A Criminal End" By: Mr. Tracy "Hollywood" Glenn March 25th 2D1h Prison has a way of sometimes helping one find another path, one that is seemingly reachable that one could not see beforehand from the offense that has one there locked away. If I were to tell you this correspondence is being written by one man who has at 50 years of age no high school diploma or B.E.D. could you believe it? Prison for me today is demoralizing and it has no place in my efforts to fulfill in ...

Essay By Terry Little A Prisoner's Apology Many days I would think of the words that I would say the mother of my victim. Do I give her a simpde sorry? do I explain in detail how regretful I am? Téis tends be a huge burden on my guilt ridden heart. The problem most times isn't about the apologetic feature, rather it's the gesture, and how will it be recieved. There has been many mothers who have lost their children from acts of violence, but how many mothers can actually say th...

Bednago Harper "A Sporting Chance" Much, much more than just sport and athletics to pass the time, after school activities like football, basketball, and baseball can go a long way in helping to instill responsibility, personal growth and many other life-shaping virtues in young people growing up in troubled areas of inner cities. When a young person knows better, that young person is more likely to do better. Let's just face it. A great many of our young people aren't bei...

“Administrative Prison Officials and Authority” In the month of September the year (2000) I was twenty-one years of age, making my departure from the Guilford county jail to a youth prison called “Polk youth Institution” located in Butner, North Carolina.

Running head: TIME 1 All Doing Time Given an opportunity to describe himself during an interview, an Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections (ODRC) resident, adamantly declared, “I ain’t a snitch. I don’t fuck wit boys. And I don’t break under pressure” (Mr. Prisoner, 2016, personal interview). When asked during this interview was he the proverbial “inmate” or “convict”, he answered, “Pm a prisoner — there’s a difference” (Mr. Prisoner, 20 l 6, personal interview). Apparently these ...

Everyone in the hole called him Amen-Ra, which was Egyptian for "God". sith such a dominating presence, he could've controlled the unitls criminal activity, but he wasn't into that. He uplifted people. Everyone not only respected Ra, they looked up to him. "what joint you...

10/2/2017 ...And Just us Fall (...And Justice for All) I am a prisoner here in the Florida Department of Corrections. Although my incarceration began in 1999, I had not received treatment of mental illness until 2007, after an attempted suicide. It's strange how most people with mental disorders tend to believe they're fine, and it's everyone else who's nutty. Atleast, this is the prisoner's philosophy. Ironically, the Florida Department of Mental Health Services defi...

March 20, 2019 Angry Man [Baby] Syndrome by F. Givens Throughout my years of incarceration, I have sought to gain insight into who I really am. Through my efforts, it is now easier for me to identify many of my character defects, which allows me to correct some defects. As a corollary of self-awareness, I can now recognize traits of my own maladaptive behaviors exhibited in others. Such recognition allows me to have empathy towards these persons. One of the most demonstrative behaviors I have...

Anywhere But Here by E. Andrea Cole I'm in prison, so of course I wish I were anywhere but here. The problem with that though, is that I, and all of my woes, are bound to go with me. So I often wish I were anyone but me. And the person I usually wish I was is my little brother. He's peacefully residing in an urn somewhere at my sister's house. No worries. No grieving. No nightmares. Yeah, sometimes, that's where I want to be. At my sister's house. No worries. No griev...

We look to our government for justice. Judgement and Justice do not share the same bed; though they frequently work together and are often seen in each others company. In the minds of babes, the seeds of Justice are planted; along with the directions on where and how to find it. In this country as children, we grow and le...

However, the deceased no longer have a voice; so I will speak out of respect for the young lady that recently passed away from a drug overdose. At the very moment I sat writing my last essay, there was a young lady in distress. Fighting for the very breath which would become her last before the age of thirty. Right here inside this physical prison. Worse, she was in the ment...

I'd been shacked-up in this filthy holding cell for what felt like eternity. My back ached from sitting on metal chairs and laying on the concrete floor for such long periods of time. I had no idea what time what it was, the evening was a blur; I'd went to sleep, woke...

Never can simple words, funny little marks on paper, tell of the loneliness, the doubt, the bitterness and frustration; companions of everyone in this gray world; A world away from the world. No one can knew, no one who has not been a blue-clad, faceless, numbered nothing. I can't tell then, but I can try. I can try because when this human meat-grinder spits me bac...
