Why Do Officers Reward Those Who Act Out? by Daniel Patrykus

I got transferred since my last installment. Went from a medium to a Max security. A disciplinary transfer, they call it. But honestly, I'm better off here. The officers treat us with more respect in a max compared to a medium. The food tastes better, and more of a serving. TV channels are better. Why, you may ask, would a max be "better" than a medium?

The Tactical War of A.I. Against Inmates by Paul Matus

The usage of advanced Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) systems in prisons has raised concerns about constitutional and human rights violations.

Why Lifers Succeed After Prison by Todd L. Cook

There is an undeniable statistic that proves people convicted of homicide have the lowest rate of recidivism out of all classes of felons. Usually, these individuals serve a great deal of time in a correctional facility, came to prison at a young age, and have since matured into responsible adults. But those aren't the only reasons why "lifers" have such a high rate of success upon release.

Progress And Purpose, Even In Prison by Robert Shafer

The year was 2000. I was 10 years into the mess I had created, 7 years into fighting a death sentence I asked for (hold that thought, a future blog will cover this). I was talking with my Mother (who passed in October, 2022), known to us as Mama, and she asked me, "Robert, what do you do?" Mama was French, born and raised in France, only coming to America the first time in 1955, and even 45 years later her thick French accent was pronounced.
