Prisons don’t like for volunteers to come to prisons to teach classes because they demonstrate a level of concern and care that the paid staff do not. So administrations make it almost impossible for willing volunteers to enter prisons, because the truth they see hurts

There's a lot of humanity behind these walls. Brothers helping each other, tending to the sick, the elderly - and mourning each other's losses. Amongst the ugliness of prison and the violence, we find many souls full of love and compassion.
HOPE PREVAILS

Some church folk come to a prison to SAVE us from hell. Once they feel that is done, they flee. What they fail to realize is we need saving from the current hell we are living. Their assistance in that could prove to be a living testimony of their faith.

We don’t touch in prison – an imaginary wall is put up between us where it’s a sin to invade the personal spaces. I miss it! At times I feel like I have the plague and people are dammed if they touch me. How I long for a caring, warm embrace - a human connection

Today when I saw a TDOC car, it caused me great pain not because I’ve done anything wrong but just the realization of knowing I’m the property of this state and not recognized as a human by this state and its laws until I die.

In this incarcerated village I am a number - to most in the world this is all I will ever be, a few digits, like a bar code on a cracker box - a meaningless existence. But I am more - a writer, a poet, a friend, a child of God. I am not just the product of my worst memories

I want to embrace Fall - releasing the baggage built up, let it fall. May Winter freeze out new problems trying to get in. Until Spring brings new life, new hope. We can learn from nature how to deal with LIFE. Hope is one thing the state can't take away from the incarcerated

I can see this beautiful horizon just past the razor wire from my cell window. Sometimes deer & turkeys mill about on the green hills. It's ironic that God's creatures are on both sides of the fence. How I would love to trade for just a day & run wild like I was young again

Police & cages don't keep us safe. Health care, education, income, food, mental health care, housing - these help keep us safe. Safety means reinvesting in our communities.

A new prison guard ask me, an old head convict, what's my best advice for him? I told him to simply be kind & respectful. You don't know what battles the person you are in front of has or is facing. Don't be the person who makes him snap just by being an asshole.
