#Incarcerated Lives Matter By: Lacino Hamilton Just a few years ago, the crises of mass incarceration was largely thought of as an invisible issue. Talked about almost exclusively in abolitionist circles and on prison yards. It is now part of the mainstream discourse. Publications and groups spanning the political spectrum, even presidential hopefuls in both parties, claim support for reducing the incarceration rate. Still, we must not be naive. Elite-level alliances, the dominant voice, tape...

(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 ...

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...

This is a system meant to reform, but designed to destruct. And the worst part is that its self-perpetual. To the unfortunate individual who find themselves in this system, we come to re...

Acquiring Power in the Mightiness of God’s Strength By Derrick Gordon As a child my mother made learning biblical scripture fun and enjoyable.

In essence, my world view was: I live in an increasingly darkening world. But my person view remained firm. I am a light of this world. “As the children of light glory in the light/so do the chil...
