(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.

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...

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...
