An Ordeal I'm a prisoner serving consecutive life terms here in Washington State. I'm also a Christian. In the late 1980's another inmate, who was serving Life without the Possibility of Parole, told me about two rape/murders that he'd committed that he'd never been caught for. This inmates name was Michael. I asked him if anyone had been charged or convicted for the crimes. He told me not that he knew of. I thought about what Michael had shared with me. He professed ...

by Steve Bartholomew Institutional Enlightenment "You're institutionalized," she said. Silence crackled along the phone wires while I decided precisely where on the scale of mistakenness she was and how I might say as much without sounding defensive.

Ue'd recently begun writing again, but you can't proofread a phone call, and the immediacy of conversation thrummed my nervous system like a guitar strin...

Street Lights
When I was a small child, my mom was my hero. I can remember the feeling of love as she would spin fantastic stories to me and my brother, Daniel, about great feats and accomplishments distant relatives of ours had done. As she would tell us these stories, the passion in her eyes left no room for doubt. She would become animated, the character of her stories would play out right in front of our dirt-stained faces. Whatever the story she was telling was as real as the hunger pa...

"Success Requires Effort" By Jacob J. Gamet
What is success? To some, it's Hollywood lights, to others, a humble and moral life, and others, financial security. Regardless of what people perceive success to be, there is one thing that successful people know about it - it requires effort. You can't wish success into existence.

They stormed his home, and arrested he and his family, packed them on a train, and sent them to a death camp in Krakow. His most disturbing nightmares could not have prepared him for seeing his entire family shot before his eyes.
