Looking back at my experience of the 60's and 70's, I now wonder, are we in reverse. Voices seem to be that of hate, degradation, and racism. This message is spread by the very people ...

A DAY IN MY LIFE Awakened by the brilliance of 6:00AM lights, I arise, grab my toiletries and walk down the long, stale white corridor toward the restroom. First, I must wade through a bevy of inmates blocking my path while vehemently discussing lat night's televised basketball game. These men do so without any consideration for those still trying to sleep or pass through. I step across the threshold and into a room with two rows of sinks where all sorts of men — white, black, Mexican, t...

ALONE Alas, I am alone and destined to remain so. No longer can the burning, innate longing for love, companionship and re-affirmation of my worth reverberate inside my heart and mind. Is this due to years apart from others? Or is it because of my transgressions that I am left with no choice but to accept the exile society will impose that separates me even from those who ODCG felt affection from and for me? Once thrust back into the world from which I am now ten years removed, it would be fo...

COLD DAYS IN PURGATORY BY B.C. Murray The divergent distractions that exists inside a prison compound are often enough to hoard away feelings of hopelessness and despair. Nothing though is cogent enough to overcome the morose feelings to which every prisoner eventually succumbs. As hard as one may try; loneliness, despair, insufficiency, and shame supercede all other emotions regardless of efforts to the contrary. Just as on the outside, the weather dictates emotions. When cold, wintry, days ...

Our hubris endeavors to put confusion to rest once and for all. We pray to awake without ambiguities, issues to confront and coerced into contesting. The child naively relishes adulthood&...

No Title I am a slavery abolitionist! Today here in America and especially here in Alabama we have an issue that exist and has existed since the birth of our nation - that issue is slavery. Many individuals have labled this issue under a misconception and call it "mass incarceration". Mass incarceration is not what we are fighting - we are fighting slavery, servitude, bondage, enslavement. All of which is defined as a wearisome drudgery. The 13th Amendment of the United States did n...

Here it is very different from life outside, because here is sadder because of the freedom that one was used to. You eat less; everything is different from the outside, lots of restrictions. From what you see here, there are different races of people. Here there are problems daily that you have to know to dodge them to...

Labeling Theory Like most prisoners, I could go on a tirade about the multitude of problems that exist within the confines of prisons. But, most of those problems are merely symptomatic of a greater issue: the way in which prisoners are viewed. The police, courts, legislators, and prison officials label prisoners in ways that perpetuate the existing system. For the prisoner, the labeling process begins at the time of arrest. Suspects are humiliated by being arrested in public. This humiliatio...
