A PRISONERS MANIFESTO ON REHABILITATION BY ABRAHAM HAGOS Rehabilitation. A word commonly used in relation to drug users and prisoners. Many people in society use the word for different reasons and purposes. The core purpose of rehabilitation is to restore a person to a state of good health and a normal life reversing their current condition. How each individual gets to that state is often complex. What works for one individual may not necessarily work for another. Irrespective of how a person...

"A Whole Lot Deeper Then Anger" By: Brian Folsom 02-21-2020 Prison life can break anyone. When loneliness and fear drive a man or woman too deep inside themselves, faith shrivels into hopelessness. It feels like the last piece of red beating heart finally solidify's, and an infection of bitterness intensifies tenfold. The deep dark become's a very sacred thing. I truley believe when the need for somekind of meaningful human contact become's an impossibility, a soul ca...

(Ch. "Am Song, unheard before, you wrote; during sleep?" From [Whide?]....) "A federal prison, like this Supermax, is the bootcamp! When prisons (State and, Federal) are free; not open, to scrutiny, crimes are rampant! Those crimes, inside (of a closed-off supermax) are, orchestrated; by the interior hacks, not the durance (as most would imagine)! Those (who are unaware) get their point of view, from the guardians; or generally known: as the gov't! 'Who will guard, th...

Again do I find myself looking for self—affirmation, being so down in the dumps as I presently feel. Thirsting for a boost to my self—worth; hungering for an increase in my self—esteem. It's hard to appease these needs, at times, through new choices, I try and want to make, concerning this new persona I seek. Do I fear my anima? With so much looking so wrong right now, with life kicking the crap out of me again, does my inner beast look to devour this kinder side of self? That inner beas...

January 7, 2019 APWA, All I can think to write about is what its like to be illiterate most of my life, to be abandoned by public defenders and to face a wrongful conviction on only hearsay when real evidence was not allowed. I can't imagine anyone interested in what it took to learn to read and write, the hell I lived through since December 20, 1990. Lets be honest, people are always too willing to believe the worst. I suppose it helps shape the world in their eyes. I still do not belie...

American Prison: The Largest Sinkhole of Taxpayer Dollars in History A recent report called "Follow the Money of Mass Incarceration" says taxpayers spend approximately 182 billion dollars per year on incarceration. That is 182, followed by 9 zeros. Numbers that large are difficult to comprehend. I mean a lot of calculators don't have screens that wide! I'm not going to parse that report, (it's available on the internet at www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/money.html) inste...

As I study what our founders of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights sacrificed for the freedoms most enjoy today, what went wrong with our laws for so many? I can't help but think that this culture of prisons would be a disappointment to our great ancestors who gave so much, often in blood and life. Also, as much as this is not just about me, I sometimes wonder how my life would have been different had I not lived on a farm and received a real education. But I refuse to live in self ...

'Criminal' Considered, by E. C. Theus-Roberts In our current social climate defining 'criminal' is unnecessary. Everybody carries a mental image of what a criminal looks like, their behavior and so on. Debating laws and criminal codes that dictate what is or is not criminal is useless because, these change every generation, if not more often. Instead, our focus will be on how our individual and collective conceptions of 'criminal' affect our interactions, relatio...

Getting By by Rick Anderson There is a picture of one of the Minion’s on my bulletin board. You’ve probably seen him. He’s the one with the single goggled eye. He’s a bit downcast with a caption that reads, “Sometimes getting out of bed just ruins the whole day!” I get that. Every night I begin dreaming nearly from the moment my head hits the pillow. Each time I wake during the night I seem to drop back into the same dream right where I left off. In the morning, when the clanging steel doors ...
