Politics, News & Issues > Police & Prisons Do prisons reform criminals?: 7 of 50

Many people hold on to the expectation of prisoners being restored by some special class, some program, some psych doctor, or group therapy. A professional was to brief through an inmates file and decide what was necessary in order for the offender to be "changed or corrected." I myself was labeled as a habitual offender wit...
Politics, News & Issues > Police & Prisons The reality of living life in a jail: 3 of 9

Not too long ago, I placed little value on my freedom, like the old saying "You don't miss a good thing until it's gone." That is why it was so easy for me to trade it. Prison was designed to be a deterrent for the lifestyle I'd become accustomed to - may way of life. Today I'm confined to prison walls I can see, and the rea...
Politics, News & Issues > US Elections The Obama cult: Is the Second Coming nigh?: 15 of 36

Although Barack Obama does not have the "look" of a cult leader, he definately possesses the charisma and charm needed to woo the world, which he has. While a new president has been elected, promising change and hope to all Americans, some have expressed their belief that he is the second coming of Christ. I will leave the s...
Politics, News & Issues > Police & Prisons Is there an alternative to our present prison system: 6 of 12

Is there an alternative to our present prison system? There is. We just have not had the overhaul necessary to create a more effective one. I know. I've spent time there. Many have the idea that criminals go to prison and are afforded great opportunities for a new life. I've asked quite a few about their perspective of crimi...
Religion & Spirituality > Self-Healing How forgiveness sets you free from the past: 4 of 8

I am forgiving myself for the guilt I carry for church membership without ever seeking a relationship with Him for myself. I am no longer faulting pastors and evangelists for what I learned or what I felt was not taught. I am responsible for my intimate union with God. I now know that regardless of any ministers teaching, or...
Religion & Spirituality > Self-Awareness & Realization Can you control your inner self destruction: 3 of 6

No matter how difficult the situation, no matter what role others played in my life, regardless of the external factors, my environment, no matter how deeply rooted my desire to assist and take care of the family, no matter how jealous of others, no matter how badly I wanted to be liked and noticed, I still had a choice.&nbs...

Many people hold on to the expectation of prisoners being restored by some special class, some program, some psych doctor, or group therapy. A professional was to brief through an inmates file and decide what was necessary in order for the offender to be "changed or corrected." I myself was labeled as a habitual offender wit...
Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) Reflections: Happenings in church: 2 of 4

I always thought of church and of how I have been mistreated by God, even He owed me, and probably more than anyone else. After all, He was the one who made all these promises about what He would do….excuse me I mean what He had already done. What was all those long hours, snotty nose crying, white sheet c...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Inside prison walls: 14 of 27

Unfortunately, from where I sit, I am unable to say that most of the women I interact with on a daily basis believe that they have something to look forward to. Even Christians today often fail to have a positive outlook on their experience of incarceration. Up until a few months ago, I was one of those inmates who saw her p...
