Caveat emptor Enclosed are the highs and lows of the past twenty-some-odd years of my life. Most of which was spent behind a concrete wall at New Jersey State Prison in Trenton. These next few dozen pages are the chronicles of my criminal life. How it began, and the end I hope these few pages will signify. I began my life in the Game; the term we use for the streets very early. I’d say I was about 12 or 13. As a juvenile delinquent I ran with a crew of a half dozen adolescent crooks who were ...

Economics of Mass Incarceration A prison system that continue to grow rapidly especially in (state) prisons. As it looks now there will be (no) type of prison reform in the making. Those of us whether guilty or not feel as though we are in modern day slavery. We feel as though we have been set up, and held captive. As we await being sold into human trafficking with very little resources to get us out of this vile situation. There is desperate need for all who care. For all who may have someon...

Evolution of a Dreamer It seems that all I've known in life is adversity and perseverance, two polar opposites in meaning, but one dependent on the other to exist and have meaning. Adversity has come as a result of my own choices, which has also caused adversity in the lives of people I've hurt the most. In some ways I am thankful for adversity, for were it not for the struggle or the pain, I wouldn't be the man I am today. I could have wilted, I could have crumbled, I could ha...

FREEDOM THROUGH SPACE . AND SUFFERING By: Arlando "Tray" Jones The most dreadful fate that could befall any man is to be imprisoned. For freedom, through space, is essential to the human spirit. Of all the animals God. created, none requires more space than man. Hell, we tell elephants to get out the jungle because it ain't enough space there for them and us. We, man, need the jun.g le, too, for resort and recreation. Where you see man exploring the heavenly space or the depth ...

experience as a survivor of rape

Survivor Testimony Finding Light in a Dark Place By Valjean Royal, Indiana I was just seventeen (17) when I was arrested for Female Impersonation and Prostitution. I was placed in the county jail for adults and gang-raped. As a male to female transgender (pre-op), the juvenile detention center would not allow me entry there, stating their concern for the effect of exposure to my alternative lifestyle on the other boys I would have to be housed with. As I entered the cell block at the county j...

Crawford - 1 Michael Crawford Bard Prison Initiative Drawing I Prof. Griffiths 2/10/10 THE THERAPEUTIC NATURE OF ART IN PRISON My oldest memories of drawing start in grade school. I would mostly draw things I could not have or afford: the latest Jordan sneakers, a nice house, a new limousine. Mostly, the types of things an inner-city kid would see in advertisements, but never actually own. In this sense, drawing helped me cope with my inability to keep up with the Joneses; however, later in l...
