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).

Thugs…Criminals… Professional Anarchists. These are some of the words people in power use to describe those who are rebelling against the criminal injustice system and destroying stuff. This may seem reasonable — a call to protect people and property — but the truth is the powerful tactically call […]

The Black Lives Matter movement has gained so much momentum this past year with the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor,Tamir Rice and Ahmaud Arbery by the hands of police officers that have sworn to protect and serve. I would like to take a moment to call attention […]
In November 2018, something amazing happened in the criminal justice movement. Florida restored voting rights to felons (excluding murderers and felony sex offenders, but I’ll take it) who have completed all the terms of sentence including parole or probation. So who lead the movement for this landmark change? […]

When we go into what is good and what is evil it can turn into a personal opinionated topic, even though to get a solid resolve we must remain objective and understanding to differences. Many things have become “demonic” in fact the very word ‘demonic’ has in itself. […]
In Matthew 16:5-12 we see a warning from Jesus to His disciples (including us) to be ware of the leavening of the Pharisees. This includes what we are taught in today’s Churches. After all a little leavening will leaven the whole loaf (First Corinthians 5:6 and Galatians 5:9). […]
Life has a junction, over and over a repeating lunacy without adieu simple in nature, yet subtle chaotic and sad, yet utopian too Words run amuck with random thoughts as always, they ring loud, and simply true a damp spirit, with a purple hue Ruthless characters with evil […]

At these trying times perserverence is “Mandatory” stay Strong; Safe & Positive. Lucky Mitchell DOC #691-862
You have to go case by case to determine the beginning of the madness behind these walls. For some, there is no end. PnP didn’t help any. And how “they” are handling it here is not making things any better. Before you judge or I go any further, […]
I sat in a book club one day and the topic of politics came up. It was a month or so before the presidential election and Donald Trump was running for president. Everyone assumed that he would struggle to make it in the office because he was not […]
Never in a million years would I have thought I would be spending my 44th b-day incarcerated! It’s been almost 2 years already and I still wake up most mornings in a state of disbelief. I look around and can’t believe I’m here. That’s the way thing about […]
I remember when Sammy Sosa the superstar ,major league baseball player and Michael Jackson the worldwide pop icon bleached there skin, we all looked at them as if they were mentally unstable, and ashamed of there dark, melenated skin. But after witnessing the unjustifiable murders of unarmed, blackmen…and […]
I have an ongoing list of bad things that have been in my mouth. First place goes to a lovely experience I had at age fifteen. There I was comfortably ensconced in the hammock on Great-Aunt Maime’s back porch. Her son, Rube, a true tobacco chewing good old […]

poetry: The strangest fruit u ever seen is ripped with pain, forbidden fruit of knowledge only a few can obtain, that’s why the evil in men want to abolish me, yet my higher self of righteousness acknowledge me. I’m trying to find the land filled with milk and […]
Suzie Bosko IS…. an *AMAZING* INDIVIDUAL, with a *BROAD* PERSPECTIVE, who’s doing an *OUTSTANDING* JOB of bringing attention to those who have experienced the Judicial System. By giving “US” “A VOICE”… She’s helping people to *UNDERSTAND* that, although while incarcerated we may not be *DIRECT* members of Society […]
A Prisoner of War. How’d I even end up here? Does that really matter for real? The reasons become irrelevant because all I know is that I gotta survive. The main goal is to make it out alive; Body, Spirit, & Mind, I’m …refusing to die. Got to […]
Chapter One (Pt. 1 of 2) Approx. 2,500 years ago the Hebrew Scriptures were still intact, w/o any deliberate alterations, interpolations, or otherwise marring of the text. And the NAME of YAHWEH was still written in by the Sopherim (from “Saphar,” to “count,” or “number”), and pronounced by […]

(During correspondence a close friend of mine said some things about Love and this was my response) Of course we’re on the same page with Love because there is only one page. Every other page is spurious. Fully fabricated. Utter embellishments. I speak of Love the way I […]
No one knows the answer to racism. It is not a personal thing, nor a goup thing. It may be an Institutional thing, or it may be a constitutional thing. It may be a judicial thing, but not a law thing. No law singles out a race, but […]
Throughout the New Testament we see several examples of lack of faith, having faith, keeping faith, having hope, and keeping hope. Some of these scriptures deserve a second look to see the actual meaning of the events. In Matthew 14:25-29 the story of Peter walking on water is […]
I have been incarcerated here for about 4 years a little over 5 years when including my county time. When I first arrived at this prison in the winter of 2016 I cried as the SUV pulled up. It then hit me like a ton of bricks. This […]
