  • Boy isn't that the truth. We are told to do things in prison and because were in shackles its acceptable.... but once we've paid the price of our crimes, back into the world we go with a big stamp on our foreheads: damaged goods, violent criminal, dangerous! We pay for ...

  • Beautiful poetry! It is so true! Everyone has an angel and a devil on each shoulder. Some people hide it better than others... but does that really make them better? I vote no. We are all one, just with different resources and opportunities. But they cant hide forever. Hang around ...

    on Your Worth by Anthony P. Heard Jr. Dec. 27, 2018
  • so positive. There is a reason for everything. Growth is painful, but it sounds like you're making it through and making the best out of the situation you are in. God is good, but you know that. Hang in there man, this too shall pass!!

  • so true. people think that just because we are "prisoners" that somehow we lost all of our humanity. Not true. We got caught. That's the only difference between "us" and "them"! Very nicely written

    on Jack Joins the Ancients by James Riva Dec. 31, 2018
  • I agree whole heartedly! We tell people "you do the crime, you do the time"... and justly so. But the part that people don't see is when bad people are put in positions of power, they abuse the very people that are supposed to come out of their "time out" ...
    on Why Is Psychological Torture Not A Qualifer For Money Damages? by James Riva Dec. 31, 2018
  • WOW. this is so profound! I went through the same type of doubt about god and religion when I was in my teens. I grew up in a semi-religious household. My siblings still go to church these days. I however do not. It is my belief that I don't need ...

  • Dreams were one of my few escapes in jail. I would always wake up and open my eyes and look down to see if I was still in jail and when I saw the orange jumpsuit the depression would set in. I feel your pain man!

  • I lived by the squares in my calendar while I was incarcerated! In jail your calendar is almost like those charts they used to put up in school to show which child did well and got a sticker on their book report and then those who did not. It made ...
