Alone By: Kevin M. Harker Solitary is the breaker of dreams, the sole cause for lost memories. One does not track time in a timeless land. Here I stand all alone, wishing for voices other than the ones in my head. How many seconds in a year pass by? What about two years, four years or many more? When I think of life inside this box I know I am the master of my thoughts. I am the only ruler in the recesses of my mind. I think thoughts no other could ever think nor comprehend. The sheer thought...

Jevon Jackson #299078 Page 1 of 4 DOES PRISON MAKE PEOPLE WORSE? (The Education Question) What my 20+ years of imprisonment has taught me is that prison is a cruel, neurotic tiger that is bent on destroying you. This animal, this beast that I live in, thrives on the illogical and irrational impulses of it's wavering political objectives. For one election cycle it's Let'sGet-Tough-On-Crime, with the end result being prison overcrowding and shortages on basic resources (such as e...

And to assist us in our journey, we'll invite others to cruise the pages of our photo album. We'll reflect on that special young lady that captivated our interest in her with the fragrance of her beauty, with the allure of her delectable smile, with the contours of her p...

HAMILTON'S LEGAL HYPE DISHONEST AND UNDESERVED As a pro se litigator and author of the Smith's Guide legal series for prisoners (Smith's Guide to Habeas Corpus Relief for State Prisoners Under 28 U.S.C. §2254; Smith's Guide to Executive Clemency for State and Federal Prisoners; and Smith's Guide to Chapter 7 Bankruptcy for Prisoners), I was curious about Derrick Hamilton's legal prowess after reading Jennifer Gonnerman's article (Home Free," June 20th)....

JEVON JACKSON Hell is a Prison Guard / Page 1 of 4 HELL IS A PRISON GUARD Let me begin by saying that MOST prison guards and staff who work in correctional institutions are decent and respectable people. The majority of staff accept that their position is simply a job, a means of employment by which to provide for their family and their household. They want no part in the propagation of the cruel brutality that Prison tends to distribute generously to its captives. The majority of staff just ...

NO TITLE May 31, 2016 Here is my submission I am writing this in the hopes that all the efforts of staff and inmates, who have long provided factual insights, who've long been ignored and dismissed, will finally be heard. For the purpose of this letter, "DOC" is a generic reference to individual prison administrations and centralized ("headquarters") prison overseers, including those under both public and private management. I am 23 and a half years into a life senten...

Dr. Al-fatah Stewart D.D. Sullivan C.F. po box-116 Fallsburg, N.Y. 12733 Justice does not exist In America, justice is like the mythical unicorn, everyone has heard of one but who has actually ever seen one? Mistakes do happen, some are honest ones and some are not. The wealthy in this country, enjoy protection but many people are wrongfully convicted, wrongfully judged and punished. The most adversely affected are poor black and Hispanic people. The police lie and falsify evidence, prosecuto...

The American Writing Archive Essay My name is Alex I am a prisoner at a Federal Correctional Institution. I have been in the federal system since September 9, 2009. Prior to this I had only done petty time for state charges and served no more than 15 days in county. It has been very rough being in the federal system but I came to the point where I now understand that this system is needed. It is very easy to disagree with what I say if you are a prisoner like myself but the truth is lives are...

The Perfect Time for Monotony Written by The Texas Political Prisoner, Billy Ross Sims 
 The news from Huntsville was very bad. Locked down for thirty days. My Cellie, the resident wit and philosopher, is sound asleep, recharging his battery as I pace the state-of-the-art cell, thinking. So much to do. So little time. I think about the benefits of having so much time on my hands. Time to reflect on the strange events and the dishonesty of the Dallas, Texas, District Attorney that railroaded m...

Young, Poor, Black, Male (Potentially Dangerous), and Irrelevant By Kenneth West If you can imagine being 19, innocent, yet found guilty by a jury of any and everything but your peers, and subsequently sentenced to a 120 years in prison; then perhaps you can understand the deep seated place of pain this essay comes from. However if you are incapable of such an imaginative leap, which most people are, then I fear that what I write will only be connected lines of text that our brains recognize ...
