Mario Cervantes Jan. 11. 2019 A Future Can someone progress out from the shadow his past was built within? Solitary confinement. By: Mario Cervantes A Future Growing up in CYFD custody, (Children Youth and Families department.) is like growing up on a planet that Earth does not know of its existence. Then you're sent to Earth and expected to function correctly. Ending up in solitary confinement within the juvenile CYFD facilities is like a George Orwell book not written. I spent a lot of...

CDCR? (part 1) by Marlon Blacher in 2012 "Sam Adams. 'The law serves those in power. That is the function and purpose of the law. The only honest question is who holds that power. The rest is hypocrisy'" ("John Adams" by Walter Bernstein) The California state prison system was formerly referred to as the California Department of Corrections (CDC) but in recent years was renamed the "California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation" (CDCR). Most o...

Caged View -- April 10, 2015 The demented cement wall I open my eyes to every morning is more than a century old and bleeds tear gas when it gets really humid. Some of the white paint from its last paint-job remains and has been scorched with black soot from recent fire -- no doubt set in protest from a dissatisfied resident. The wall is pockmarked with multicolored scabs from years of paint-jobs, has crude gang graffiti painstakingly carved with paperclips, and bears battle scars from the co...

Dancing Daydreams - March 11, 2015 My balance teeters as I land, spinning on one foot atop of the abrasive concrete, preparing for another leap. I don't bite it, but man... it's close. I feel a shot of adrenal relief seize my body, and I bite back an impetuous smile as my body springs into a final landing of a five-piece pirouette... umm... I mean, tornado-kick. I'm gasping for oxygen, my muscles tensed, and I feel the stares of unwelcome eyes. Of course, in prison, unwelcome e...

Ismail akbar Florida "everybody you'r color, isn't you'r kind" Brother's or sister's may be as dark as the night, they may have the hair, the lip's and the look's. But before you go calling them brother's and sister's, you had better check them out. Because it is a fact black people, that everyone you'r color isn't you'r kind. These day's, it has become fashionable to say, people look like me. Well friend's, i hav...

The cheap prizes inside always distracted us from the reality of sleeping in an uncomfortable back seat, and the fact that our nineteen year old single mother struggled to provide us with this great luxury. One night, as we crouched t...

I have university. Since 1980 I renounced my U.S. citizenship and I am a citizen of the Federal Republic of Germany, solely. I did this at first while I was an independent military "contractor" and to circumvent U.S. restrictions on "mercenary activity," but now I am glad of it and fully supp...

I thought to myself it must have been something I did or said but it was probably for nothing at all. Probably the fear factor - that those officers strong armed me, choked me and beat my body like their gun & badge wasnt threatening enough. Did they just want to intimidate me? I blamed myself and tryed to justify their actions. Did they justify themselves by saying I was a gang member; that I wasnt innocent? Is that what I might have deserved? If that was my punishment who decided the pu...

April, 10th, 2018 I've been thinking about what I should write about in this new report? My first writings was a personal testimony about losing my wife last summer, and dealing with the affects of that mental strain in a place where nobody cares.. It's still a topic I speak about to many prisoner's because when you feel passionate about something you want to let people know that inner core. It's like the rules of life are so different now.. Feels like the value of life, a...

My eyes blurring with tears and my teeth clenched, impotent rage consumed my body . . . thinking of Philando’s partner—that strong, savvy, woman—and their sma...

This revelation came with the understanding that I live in the most deplorable enviromnent on earth, a maximum-security prison. My seething hatred and simmering rage are caused by the conditions of my confinement. Being physically restricted, being forced to live with people I detest, and having to suffer the loss of self-sufficienc...

Vaughn 1 Looking Through the Windows It was an early spring morning in 1990, and as usual I was late for work. Every morning I drove to dads house and from there he and I would ride to work together. I had been working for him for several months, but it seemed to me that instead of teaching me about work he was more interested in lecturing me about slowing down with the partying and self medicating. I was eighteen years old that spring — and I was as wild as the fields that surrounded the neig...

Man Versus Beast - January 30, 2015 I stare at my freshly washed T-shirt hanging from a string clothesline against the wall. I've seen this sight a thousand times yet never seen it at all. What a pathetic shirt. Would anyone in the freeworld wear it? Probably not. Wearing it would be frowned upon, especially in a public place like a store or restaurant. Not that I think much about what's acceptable in public, but every once in a while I allow myself a little role-playing game to fil...

Naked Destiny I feel instead of hear a squeaky groan come from my chest in reaction to the sharp pain penetrating my eardrums. They fixed the loudspeaker last night. The same loudspeaker I paid Dennis 4 Ramen noodle soups to disable a couple of weeks ago. I was hoping for a longer reprieve, but over all the money was well spent. My cage is located in such a manner as to perfectly convey the demon speaker's scream from hell. One can avoid the resulting pain with a pair of earplugs, but I ...

I am no longer silent, and Still, I ain’t never gonna shut up. When we think we have, All of what we deserve, Burning and dieing, Was there waiting on us, Within lifes curve. ...

We have been restored, By that almighty sword, And by the blood of the lamb, Yet some still don't understand. Just note when Paul was persecuted, When he preached the truth, Nothing diluted its so stupid, How polluted minds get, When the ears become muted. There's a fire in the mouth, And these words are ge...

Any system that causes a human being to rationalize behavior uncomparable to any animal as in wanton violence, brutal victimization and exploitation of other human beings is a view from the highest point of society, distorted...
