Title: A da in the SHU
Author: Bomani, Diallo
Pages: 2 pages
State: California
Text (O): A da in the SHU I awake this morning to my pitiful predicament. The instant my eyes popped open I shuddered from the reality of harsh environment. Suddenly I stood and move to the center of the of the cell to perform a simple test. Sure enough standing in the [modd?] middle I was able to touch opposent walls with outstretched arms. The cell was about about eight by five. Five feet wide and eight feet long. A cement box smaller than the size of a home bath room. The cement walls, floors, and c...

Title: A lot has been written
Author: Dorotik, Jane
Pages: 5 pages
State: California
Text (O): A lot has been written Original Dorotik CA A lot has been written about the prison system lately -- why we as a nation incarcerate so many, why the bureauocratic and unweildy system is only expected to make minimal cuts to its 11 billion dollar budget while education and social supports are slashed to the very core, why California's prison system has the highest recidivism rate of any state in the nation? But little is written of the individual suffering that occurs in devastating ways o...

Title: Most of us believe the parole board
Author: Dorotik, Jane

Pages: 3 pages
State: California
Text (O): Most of us believe the parole board Jane Dorotik Most of us believe the Parole Board Commissioners have a very serious job in determining who should stay in prison and who should be released. After all, the burden of public safety would seem to lie squarely on their shoulders. If a prisoner can t, after years of incarceration, prove to these commissioners they are not a menace to public safety, then maybe they shouldn't be released. My guess is this is what the public generally thinks......

Author: Rogers, Ramon
Date: 2012-12
Pages: 1 page
Text (FT): THE OFFICE For over two years I've gotten up each morning and walked the short distance to my office. This is a special place, exclusive yet ominous, with an odd and interesting history. It had been built several decades ago, a 12' x 12' cage of sturdy metal diamond grating. It was originally an observation post but later reduced to a dark and dusty storage for paperwork and unused furniture. When the office became my own personal work area it was my responsibility to equip acc...

Visions of the Night ' “For God may speak in one way, or in another, yet man does not perceive it, In a dream, in vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, While slumbering on their beds, Then He opens the ears of men, And seals their instruction, In order to turn man from his deed, and conceal pride from man. He does so to keep back his soul from the Pit, and his life fro...
