In today’s society from what I can see, from behind these walls, is that people hate LOVE in its various forms. I’m guilty of this simply because of the lack thereof in prison and from out there. I guess the love I’m looking for, want and need is […]

It’s an intense game and I am not in the same league as the best players here in Camp Prisoney Land. You have to be quick and brutal. The girls play by a twisted version of tournament rules. You’d better have all the two letter words memorized and […]

Everyone is yelling get out and vote. As if our votes really count. No presidential candidate ever represents the people who were never intended to be a part of this country. Donald Trump and Joe Biden are not going to do anything notable for the poor, Blacks or […]
For the last few days I have witnessed the most scariest turn of events by staff. This past Saturday the officer came and counted. Once she counted she then asked me if I wanted to shower. I replied, yes. Mind you I’m in lockdown and the officer has […]
Today, in the time that we’re living in, racial discrimination is the norm of the of day, (damn) rather it’s in the justicial system and our lives being treated as unequals with so-called blind justice with verdicts like Trayvon’s or failing indict with on camera murders like Tamir’s […]
There was once a town in the heart of America where all life seemed to live in harmony with its surroundings. The town lay in the midst of a checkerboard of prosperous farms, wih fields of grain and hillsides of orchards where, in spring, white clouds of bloom […]

This Story is Full of Spiders, Don’t Touch it! I have three gears in the morning: stop, mosey and amble. This irritates the prison guards because they are always yelling at us, “Put some pep in your step, inmate!” So, there I was moseying along to my job […]

I went to an NA meeting today and the Just For Today topic was voices. What voice we choose to listen to. I remember distinctly a few years ago being sober when that bad voice started whispering in my ear. That proverbial devil on the shoulder, “you can […]

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 […]
I was talking to a buddy while we were waiting for chapel a couple of days ago. We got on the subject how chapel service and NA meetings make you feel somewhat human again. Interacting with other people on a personal level, shaking hands calling each other by […]
