The overstated premise being "hidden crimes." This postulation is rarely challenged even by lucid-minded...

With an over ambitious, lazy and corrupt police force playing an angry, jealous, vengeful God casting down my audacious, shining and Luciferian belief in truth and justice. Burying me in my own personal hell. I have been able to perseveree, and at least maintain a sense of humor, but I am almost always in a constant crisis of faith. As I wander around the prison world, my spir...

It's about my personal experience being accused, indicted and convicted as a 'sex offender’, a term that is loaded down with negative connotations in our society. In many cases the connotations and inferences have little or nothing to do with the offense itself or with the laws now being employed to prosecute ‘offenders’. There is in the Federal Legal Sys...

Dear American Justice: When I first encountered your judicial system in the year of 1988, I was a 17 year old young and ignorant fool still trying to figure out who I was as a man. I was an unguided, immature, lost and troubled young soul who had no idea and/or clue as to what I was actually doing in the inner city streets of Newhaven, Connecticut. And despite the fact that I both knew and understood that selling drugs, carrying firearms and assaulting individuals was a violation of both our ...

"Is Prison Reform A Fargone Solution?" By: Efrain Morales, Jr. Institutions have been known to run-a-mock when unchecked for too long (the reason for a checks-and-balances in gov.). But what happens when, as a society, we become as complaisant as to ignore corruption merely because, as a society, we've adopted a visceral reaction to felons or certain types of offenders? The answer is that, as an institution of public safety (Dept. of Corrections/D.O.C), it will concede to statu...

It's become as American as apple pie. We catch glimpses of it on our favorite-shows; in our theaters and in our music. Yet it's a conversation most Americans feel uncomfortable having, and when we do have the conversation, it is so riddled with one sided union propaganda we can never get to the core of it or grasp the depth to which it touches so many of our fellow citizen's lives. Police corruption is an existent component of the penal system, rooted in the propaganda that pro...

"Modern-Day Lepers #1 BY: Efrain P. Morales (Published 2/2-3/ 08, Journal Inquirer Newspaper, pg.22) Today's society is at unrest, preoccupied with sex offenders in their neighborhood. The typical solution is GPS tracking bracelets, protective buffer zones, and a barrage of restrictions augmented to stringent terms of parole or probation. But how does it really work? Human Rights Watch, a leading international group, released a two year study in September '07 that was the first...

Alejandro Quintana Arizona Next Week Profit over Justice “Prison has become more profit than justice.” Every year taxpayers are given a bill to pay by their state penitentiaries. The amount is derived by an average of the base sum of $33,000, a figure which is estimated by the D.O.C to be the amount of money it takes to house an average non-violent inmate. Within the bill footed by taxpayers every last detail is included so why is it that D.O.C still charges $2.00 per month utilities and %1 o...

Prosecutors' Vested Interests vs. the Truth By Bryant Arroyo 
 In the government, the prosecutor's office represents the state in each of the federal judicial districts. The District Attorneys and Attorney Generals are vested with the power to represent "we the people" on behalf of the common-wealth's interest. Before becoming an elected official, they begin kicking the political football by using their propaganda machine to influence the votes of "the people"...

PUNITIVE EXCESS: SEX OFFENDER LAWS Pornography offenses are defined by a non—specific lexicon, a terminology touted to inflame public hysteria and outrage and to drive crude legislative initiatives through Congress. This terminology is used indiscriminately without constitutional relevancy or definition and with little regard for the particulars of each individual case. It is supercharged with negative connotations in our society and, as in witch trials of another era, its very vagueness cons...

Manchester Journal Inquirer December 9, 2008 
 Sex offenders and recidivism In prison, sex offenders are often housed in protective custody, and for good reason. If discovered in the prison's general population by other inmates they're often targeted regardless of the steps toward rehabilitation they've taken. Oddly, this typifies the reaction of mainstream society when such as one attempts a semblance of normal life upon release. The usual reaction - in and out of prison - is ...
