  • unbelievable what happens in these prisons...a lot of people would never imagine these things could still happen nowadays but unfortunately it's true. I lived in America for a while and I noticed myself that it has a long way to go in terms of being a civilized nation. I can ...

  • Wise words...healing is unfortunately often not something that happens "by accident". You have to really want it and then consciously put work into it. Most of all, as you said, you have to "face" your pain. Bring it to the surface, really look at it, cry the tears that need ...

  • The poem "Breakdown" is quite intense...could feel your pain while reading it. I write poetry too sometimes...I tend to feel better when I express myself. I hope it has the same effect on you and you have moved on from that dark state of mind you were in...

  • hi marcus, i think i understand where you are coming from, i have been through this process myself. I was raised catholic but life put me through a lot of things and I started questioning religion and God. I went through very "religious" periods where I hoped that devotion to ...

  • i think the fears you went through are pretty normal in that type of situation...everyone knows that prison healthcare is less than what it should be and in an overcrowded place like that it is also very easy for diseases to spread. Sometimes fears seem unrealistic but then we all ...

  • i hear you...i think it is completely unnatural to be in a "warfare state of mind" all the time but I guess the mind just adapts to any situation and you do what you have to do. In "normal" life (if there is such a thing), you get into dangerous ...

  • Hi, I just wanted to let you know, a heart murmur is caused by extra blood flow through the heart or defective heart valves. Some murmurs are innocent and others are dangerous. Are you generally in good health otherwise? If so, try not to worry too much and just take ...

  • It's a sad thing that prison seems to be the place where all the doctors go that con't make it anywhere else. Just because you go to prison shouldn't mean that you should loose all your rights as a human being, which includes the right to receive adequate medical care, ...
    on Prison Pathophobia by Johnny E. Mahaffey July 4, 2013
  • Yea unfortunately this "warfare state of mind" is a normal thing for many people in the world...it is a good thing to be alert about things that happen around you, but i think there is a difference between a calm alertness, and the state of mind where you always expect ...

  • Hi Richard, I enjoy reading your posts as I do looking at your artwork...you're a very talented painter. It's very hard to imagine the conditions and what it's like being in the S.H.U. if you've not experienced it but from your description it sounds like one of the last places ...

  • That is ridiculous that he had to rip out the sunflowers...sunflowers are not some type of weed, they are beautiful flowers that almost everyone loves. But I guess they can't stand to see anything reminding people of beauty and life. Unfortunately it's not just prison guards who destroy nature and ...

  • VictimRights, by destroying this website you would destroy one of the fundamental rights of American citizens: the freedom of speech. Rather than just stating that you are disgusted, it would be helpful if you could explain why you think that everything Daniel Labbe is stating is crap. Also, are you ...

  • VictimRights, what "bigger picture" exactly do you think I am missing out on? From what I can see, you are the one with tunnel vision, placing every prisoner in the same category as "evil person who doesn't deserve anything but to rot in prison for the rest of his/her life ...

  • Hi Robert, Here are some more exercises specifically aimed at a herniated disc and sciatica: Leg pain or sciatica from a herniated disc is commonly caused by disc material protruding backwards and irritating or compressing a nerve root, which in turn causes pain to radiate along the sciatic nerve. Sciatica ...
