A Lesson in Language Incarceration has forced me to postpone my plans of travelling to the continents of Europe and Asia. Six years into a twenty year sentence for manslaughter, watching Globe Trekker on PBS or flipping through vacation mags in the prison library is the closest I get. My travels into Quebec and Mexico taught me that every street sign, television or radio program, menu, and all product packaging provides a lesson in language. Simply going about a regular routine in a foreign l...

A.V.P. How can violence be reduced in prison? Well, in my own opinion, the answer is simple: support the "Alternative to Violence Project!" This program, started by Quaker's back in the late 1970's right here at Green Haven Correctional Facility, is one which is now being used to combat the spread and use of violence all over the world. The Alternative to Violence Project (from this point on, to be referred to as A.V.P.) is an interactive workshop, that gives insight to it...

I{ali Yuga Vikalpa Vikalpa l Loathe & Rage: Personal Origins One morning I awoke to realize that I had intense rage and hatred towards many aspects of my life. 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...

Shanna, the high—maintenance honey who became my fist love in 1990, became my first love lost in 1996. My burgeoning relationship with Lisa, a radiology student at Columbia University, was dismantled by her well—intentioned, but untrusting mother who happened to be a...

Toni Braxton’s high notes echo softly through two towering speakers on the sidelines of a basketball court. Fudge brownies and fruit punch await the 250—plus people strolling inside the gym. But the attendants are not students. There are no raging hormones, celebratory dances, or teachers rec...

The Mentality of an incarcerated criminal! Part One The Mentality of my Youth There is a whole mentality behind, both, crime and incarceration. In criminology (the study of the behavior patterns & the mindset of the criminal) one learns how to recognize & apprehend a criminal. When someone is arrested, he is diagnosed, in different ways, as criminally insane (i.e. anti-social, narcissistic, etc.). The mentality of the criminal is acquired at a very young age, in most cases. This is wh...

The Need and Importance of Unity It is said that: "United we stand; divided we fall". It is also said that: "Two heads are better than one". Where those two heads are focused on one common cause or goal, no statement can be more true. Except, of course, billions of heads are better than one, or "the more heads, the better". Social means to advocate a groupe of men (or women) or a society of men for one common cause. Social is the root-word of the word socialize, ...

Kali Yuga Vikalpa Vikalpa 1 Unexpected Ascension If I had not descended into the dark and brutal hell of imprisonment, I do not believe I would ever have found God. I never searched for God; I was adverse to anything of a religious manner. Nevertheless, when I was at the very bottom of the pit, God is what I found. Before imprisonment, I did not have any meaningful experience with religion and did not believe in God. I received an infant baptism in a Church, but received no further indoctrina...
