Text (FT): 4993 Word Essay At the age of sixteen I was incarcerated for First Degree Murder and later sentenced to 77-years in prison. There seemed to be little consideration of the affects it would have on a teenager to be housed with adults. Fortunately for me I was a fighter.

Title: I am currently incarcerated
Author: Shelley, Edward C.
Pages: 11 pages
Text (TR_WF): NO TITLE I am currently incarcerated in a Washington State Correctional Institution serving a 129 month sentence of which I have just completed 5 years.

Pr...

Text (FT): My Justice Experience, So Far...   Coming to prison actually saved my life. Due to sexual abuse as a child, I started to drink and abuse drugs very early in my life, at age nine. I don't remember any real childhood in which drugs and alcohols did not play a part. The road of my life was inevitably leading to one of two conclusions. One was prison, the other one death. It is quite possible that I actually did die in the five-car collision that was the beginning of my present ordeal. I rec...

Text (FT): James Barstad THREE Elephants are known for their long-term memory. When they are little baby elephants, what are they, cubs, kits, pups, oh yeah, calves, they are chained to a wooden post driven into the ground. They push, pull, and fight. Eventually they learn that they are not strong enough to pull out the post. When they grow to adulthood, they remember that they could not pull the post loose. Even though they are now strong enough to gain their freedom, they fail to test the post, becaus...

Text (FT): Two James Barstad Although I never knew her name, I recall the face of the Romper Room lady. I distinctly remember her calling my name as she gazed through her magic looking glass. She said, "I see Jamie," along with an assortment of names of other children watching the show. While I watched her, she was watching me! Is she still watching?
