A lesson in language

Text (TR_WF)
A Lesson in Language Incarceration has forced me to postpone my plans of travelling to the continents of Europe and Asia. Six years into a twenty year sentence for manslaughter, watching Globe Trekker on PBS or flipping through vacation mags in the prison library is the closest I get. My travels into Quebec and Mexico taught me that every street sign, television or radio program, menu, and all product packaging provides a lesson in language. Simply going about a regular routine in a foreign l...

A.V.P. How can violence be reduced in prison? Well, in my own opinion, the answer is simple: support the "Alternative to Violence Project!" This program, started by Quaker's back in the late 1970's right here at Green Haven Correctional Facility, is one which is now being used to combat the spread and use of violence all over the world. The Alternative to Violence Project (from this point on, to be referred to as A.V.P.) is an interactive workshop, that gives insight to it...

Dean A. Faiello Adivina Fed up with my wreck-strewn, chaotic life, ricocheting between New York City crises, I decided to liquidate my few urban assets and dee to a Central American rain forest. Rather than face the task of changing my life, I took the easier route. I was lured by the romance of live volcanoes overlooking black sand beaches and banana trees. For two hours, as my Jeep snaked its way through the basaltic mountains of Costa Rica, I had little idea what to expect at each precipit...

Michael Rhynes Attica on My Mind My day begins by getting up before the contemporary version of Pavlov's bell rings, a half hour before count, which starts at 7:00 AM. While performing my morning ritual of washing my face, brushing my teeth, and combing my hair, with such mindless devotion it would send a marine sergeant into authoritarian fits of glee, I subconsciously search for a way to affirm my humanity. The breakfast list is being taken, and naturally I sign up. Every morning for t...

BEHIND THESE WALLS By Ian Harewood Free will is all about choices. In prison you have no free will. Every day, you have to do what someone tells you. You can't wake up in the middle of the night and go for something as simple as ice-cream or a snack. I remember when I had free will growing up. I wish that my choices had been different. As a kid I was always trying to fit in. But back in those days, the dark-skinned guys were the butt of jokes in school, the ones who weren't popular....

Prison is peppered with waiting, twenty plus years of maximum security captivity has habituated me to this reality. But this is different, this wait is for a pending HIV test. A critical screening, precipitated by a sexual assault. A tacit insult heaped atop an acute injury, regardless of endgame result. The consequences of a positive reading weigh heavily upon me. I know...

Eyes closed, my mind was centered on one thought: what can I use for an ersatz flour to make dough? (Pastelios were in my immediate future.) I was finally away from the stress and madness of prison and safely locked away in my thoughts of food. Cooking is a way for me to both relieve stress and express myself....
