A life long devotion to a crooked belief a crooked belief that has done nothing but cause you pain & greif Now here you sit, in a tiny room on appeal exhausting all remedies, writing affidavits, filing motions & submitting briefs Begging the courts to hear you out […]
Well, not only is it a positive outlet that allows a guy some meaning and purpose to all of this, but it is the holy grail for reducing recidivism. Why should the public care if inmates get a college degree? Aren’t they in prison to be punnished? The […]
I’m always suspicious when someone in here waxes nostaglic about the “good ole days.” I was in a tough prison in the nineties, a prison that conforms more to what many people on the outside think of as prison. And I suppose for some people, those days WERE […]

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, […]
It is now officially less than a year until my release date. Less than a year, after over 18 years. Guys in here always talk about how the last stretch goes slowly, but I’m not finding that at all. It’s like time is warping, flying forward faster and […]
After more than 18 years in prison, I’m at the one-year mark. My entire adult life has been behind bars, and when I get released next October, I’m going to be able to experience everything I’ve missed out on. And I’ve had discussions with people about how I’m […]
Our experience’s is determined by our interstate , not by what one become’s in this world, or what you got. Most people become to see the world as they have learned to see it, from many thing’s other’s have , and do , there part is in the […]
