July 22, 2018 Robert John Richter For APWA Abused again Yet again, within only one day of being questioned by a senior OSI PREA investigator, I have been subjected to sexual abuse, staff voyeurism, inflicted upon me in order to intimidate, humiliate, and degrade me. The excuse, again, was an outside trip for an OMH (psych) appointment. This was just a cover. This isn't the only retaliation I have suffered. On July 2, OSI PREA investigator Bossman questioned me about my PREA complaints, b...

March 25, 2018 Robert Johan Richter Title: Addicted To Violence Prison is a great place to witness all kinds of addictions, and how far they drive their victims. Prisoners sell their meals for cigarettes, and their bodies for drugs. The most common addiction doesn't involve drugs, porn, or anything you can buy or sell. Many people, both prisoners and guards, are addicted to violence. There is a big difference, however; the guards almost never face any kind of punishment. Why do people li...

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...

There was great anticipation for this lecture topic, along with some concern among students that the mate...

One of the scariest shows on earth. A carnival of the bizarre in a fairground of bars and steel, bricks and concrete.

How nice, maybe we'll get some basic human rights next! Let's see, NYS DOCCS officials have told me in writing that I will be retaliated against if I even try to access the courts, threatened me with physical force (again, in writing) if I report their crimes to the FBI, and stolen my property and refused to compensate me. Oh, did ...

Not Me!", "Cuomo Allows Rape". I subsequently wrote about this in "What Cuomo Did". How did Raczkowski get my writings? Did Cuomo retaliate by sending my complaints to the very people I was complaining about, or was my outgoing mail stolen? I haven't received a single response ...

Dehabilitation I have been in prison for more than 23 years, serving a life sentence for a crime that never happened. Supposedly, I'm being rehabilitated, but in fact the exact opposite has occurred. I have developed a deep and abiding hatred for prison officials, the State government, the people of New York, and humans generally. Perhaps hate is the wrong word, despise is better. You all disgust me. Humans are insane. I apparently, am not human, because I am not insane. Prison allegedly...

And this isn’t about the group so much as it’s about one of my peers, Jim Ryant, a golden retriever of a guy. Let me note at the ...

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....

Although the internet has made it easy for “anyone” to publish anything they want to, that “anyone” does not include prisoners. By the time I made my breakthrough, I had been in prison for more than 17 years. My friends and family had long since moved on with their lives and left me behind. In New York State, there is no syst...

To be honest, it was a prison inside of a prison. My stay on death row was long, more than eight years of my life were spent on New York's death row. I would spend my days, passing my time working out doing push-ups, dips and lots of wal...

Their faceless identities were added to the list of two million lives claimed by HIV that year, and every year. Olivia's father watched the burial, shaded by the canopy of an African mahogany...

(DOCCS' 2015 "Under Custody Report") Many are, or have been, incarcerated in the State's highest-security prisons alongside those in for murder, gunpoint robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and other violent crimes.
