This site is a collection of blogs written by prison inmates. It serves as a platform which allows them to share their individual stories, opinions, talents, and their inner thoughts. I support, understand, and believe that writing can be a great source of rehabilitation, growth, and healing. InmateBlogger.com is managed by Suzie Bosko (suziebosko.com).
As you see I put a question mark behind this phrase I hear over and over and over again! My question is does it really or only matters when when something happens to a black person that everyone in the world can get a little recognition of there […]

The more I think about this, the happier I am to be different. Let me explain. Amid all the bias and hatred in the world, to be one that stands out as different can be a very good thing. As men, you are expected to behave in certain […]

Maybe I’m not as different as everyone says I am. Watching Skye Sports News this morning put a few things in perspective. Being different is good. Accepting those differences is better. I Noticed that the European League soccer/futball divisions are stepping up on anti-racism as well. One upcoming […]
We covered a lot of ways that people are different and what others hate in them, but why is it so prevalent in society? What is the cause of all this hatred? I know this may sound strange – but I like being different. It sure beats being […]
I have come to the conclusion that people hate just so they have something to do. Apparently there are not enough jobs or educational institutes in the world to keep them busy. And even those that do have jobs seem to find enough time to hate just to […]
This is a confusing time that we live in. Racial intolerance is at an all time high. Gender indifferences has caused a lot of divides in our country as well as in many families. Different political views are causing wars. Religious backbiting. So many different opinions, who is […]
Why is equality not equal? The constitution of the United States declares that ALL man is created equally. And yet this same government system endorses a divided people of “Us against them” mentality. Democrats versus Republicans. Blacks versus Whites. Police versus Public. How long before we start calling […]
Hello again. This week I was considering what it means to be different. Is it a good thing or a bad thing to stand out in a crowd? Myself, I am not much on group conformity. I tend to stand out in a crowd, and I am okay […]
I will not rant or complain, however I do believe in stating firmly my opinions. You may or may not agree with them, that’s okay. Everyone has the right to feel or believe what they want. That is what makes every human being special in their own right. […]
First of all, it means the opportunity for a second chance at living a meaningful, productive life. When I was in active addiction I was not the person I should have been. I wasn’t the best father or husband I could have been. My priorities became very turned […]
Hello my name is Darryl Davis and I’ve spent the past 33 year’s of my life in prison. I would be lying if I said I regretted doing so, yet at the same time it was a wonderful blessing in a horrible disguise. There’s an African Proverb I […]
I haven’t posted anything for quite awhile. Apologies for that. Things have been pretty interesting here, to say the least. An officer was killed behind the wall. We were on lock-down for a couple weeks and they are talking like it might be up to a year for […]
Its been a little while since my last blog post. I’ve had plenty of ideas, but have found difficulty evolving them from mental concepts into words that convey my thoughts. I find I think a lot in a conceptual space where words are not needed to understand concepts […]
By: Abdul-Haleem No… this is not a political post, its personal! I’ve given my future a lot of thought and its vital to take this approach moving forward. Putting any type of trust in anyone with my heart let alone my feelings and emotions is something I can’t […]
My name is Rico Comer, I am writing to ask for assistance from anyone who may be able to assist me in receiving my EIP payment. Based on a United States Supreme Court ruling, incarcerated people are entitled to this stimulus payment, which under the cares act was […]
I am sick and tired of being ignored! I’m seriously being housed with other inmates that are positive for covid-19. I’m uncomfortable with my surroundings, the fact that I have to wear a mask in my cell also while sleeping. I’m caught in the middle with no where […]

poetry: Eyes watered in tears as caskets close, mesmerized as I see minds froze, nobody sees the soul when it goes. humbly I weep under my sheets, with a heart colder then mountains peeks, yet wiser then any animal who feeds off the river creeks, a thug song […]
Assalaamu Alaikum!! Sigh…. SMH!! You know how some people just make your day when you see them or talk to them?? Its so much going on in the world today let alone this country we live in and don’t get me started on inside this prison alone. Sometimes […]

No matter how strictly-guarded a prison, the soul remains free. Some people may assume that people behind bars stop thinking, stop expressing themselves, and stop dreaming. Nothing could be further from the truth. In prisons all around the country, there are men and women continuing to live their […]
Apologies for the silence the last few weeks. Life has been just a little bit complicated here, to say the least. We’ve had a stabbing and two huge E- Squad shakedowns along with the covid quarantine. They found so many phones and other contraband during the raids, they […]
Since when is it wrong to “agree to disagree”?? It’s okay to have different points of view without being enemies or hating each other. Diversity gives Life its Beauty, & different angles allow the whole picture to be seen, or @ the very least it gives birth to […]

I was reading the rhetoric spewed by some politician who claimed that it was his goal to end poverty in America. What a brilliant idea one may argue. Yet by doing so are dramatically failing to realize that such an ideal has long ago been adopted with the […]
