Song Pick: “Cars” by Gary Numan. Big Brother is watching. Or more to the point, Big Brother is reading. They’re reading all the incoming and outgoing email writings that prisoners are publishing, and they don’t like it. What they don’t like about it is that the some of […]
Song Pick: “Part-time lover” by Stevie Wonder Just when you think that DOC personnel couldn’t get any more obtuse…. As if to prove my point to a “T,” SCCC mailroom personnel censored my latest outgoing email which criticized the DOC for their criminal activity. The censored mail consisted […]

Welcome to the Anonymous Critic Blogger on Inmate Blogger. In my posts, I will be providing an insight to the bureaucratic mendacity which is life for the incarcerated people in the State of Washington, Department of Corrections (hereinafter denoted “WDOC”).

If one can get beyond the intentionally oppressive & hostile nature of the prison system, if one can find the strength to pick himself/herself up off the ground after falling, if one can find a sense of clarity & focus….then one can find it in himself/herself to succeed, […]
Just like people who were slaves, people who are in prison, are in a plantation, they are a wharehoused commodity. Just like people who were slaves, traded on the black & white ivory, people who are in prison, not only are traded on the stock market, but the […]

DOC takes ahold of whatever programs that are brought in the prisons to help us out, they change things around, put things in, take things out, then come up with a way they can monopolize & make money off it. We need programs in prison that benefit us, […]
September 15, 2015 So the latest from the depths of the West Complex, is that today we have been given a somewhat greater freedom from the lockdown we have been under. We are still receiving only 30 minutes of unit yard, no dayroom, and 1 hour of big […]

We are on lockdown again. This time something occured in D&E unit again. I have no information what it was, but due to the last situation that happened last weekend it is very possible that this is merely a continuation of those events. I have to consider whatever […]

I am awaiting responses from the CPM, Correctional Program Manager, and the Superintendent, from letters that I wrote to both of them regarding the issues that we would like to see addressed. I do not know when, but the CPM did send me a message on the kiosk […]
There was a meeting today with the Correctional Program Manager(CPM), in which the administration agreed to return the small/unit yard back to normal, so that the exercises are not dictated as to what prisoners can do. This is a major feat, which not only shows the power of […]
I was talking to a friend of mine this morning at work in the kitchen. I remembered that he had told me he had never had a visit from his mother since he came to prison. Why? Because she is an undocumented immigrant and is here ‘illegally’. I […]
