THEY DO NOT SPEAK FOR US
By Timothy J. Muise
One of the major barriers to the push for criminal justice reform is the fatal lack of input through the voice of the prisoner. Corrections is a self-perpetuating system with guards who view prisoners as less than human doing all within their power to derail rehabilitation efforts. This is the sad, but often unspoken truth, or prison.
More prisoners equal more jobs, but the job security angle is not the most damaging element. The most damaging element is the time-proven dynamic where in order for the jailer to be able to view the jailed as subhuman they have to engage in efforts to put those in their charge down so to lift themselves up. That sword cuts both ways as guards have the highest suicide rate in law enforcement and the hopelessness of the system they create produces a 47% percent recidivism rate.
In attempts to address this systemic failure organizations form, groups assemble, and public outcry efforts manifest in different ways. Even the state takes action. They allow the funding of what some call "prisoner rights groups". Here in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts the state government funds an organization called Prisoners' Legal Services. This organization has falsely become known as the "prisoner advocates" of Massachusetts. In our opinion, nothing could be further from the truth. They are an arm of the state, afraid to tell the truth we detail here; the truth that until you change the guard culture no proposal, no legislative bill or measure, can make a difference, as the guards will refuse to implement it, and in fact, will do all within their power to torpedo it. In their words, "Inmates get nothing!", which translates to "To hell with the law and public safety!"
We need you to realize these truths. We need you to embrace our perspective or we will be doomed to many more decades of violence on the streets of the Commonwealth. We are socially responsible men who want to use the truth to truly change the system and change lives. Please help us!

"We are socially responsible men"
The only thing that this motley crew are socially responsible for is the murders of a great number of US citizens.
From fellow gangsters/drug dealers to cop killers to people who will kill you for your last paycheck or sneakers instead of getting a job all the way up to a man that slaughters his wife and kids in the most brutal manner.
Perhaps you are missing the definition of "socially responsible" and think that it is a catchy buzz word.
Social responsibility is all about doing to others what you would like others do to you. It is about recognizing how your behaviour affects others, and holding yourself accountable for your actions. For example, contrast someone being well mannered with someone being rude. A socially responsible person will endeavour to have a positive effect on others and enrich his environment. He will strive to make a positive contribution, and will not pollute the atmosphere, both physically and metaphorically.
Contrast that with your bile ridden diatribes that seeks to dehumanize the people charged with your care. To provide 3 hots and a cot. To make sure that the many that seek to stick a shank in your bloated body do not succeed. You will learn to appreciate that upon your release when your narcissistic personality disorder serves to push someone else over the edge. Then there will be one of two outcomes. I wait with bated breath.

I don't know if this was meant for me or the person that wrote it but I only transcribe these "letters" because I am bored stiff at my job. I just need something to do and keep my mind from going numb.

Muise is a self-hating inmate with a narcissistic personality disorder and nothing to do but time. Transcribing posts is useful but don't be surprised if he tries to rope you into doing some other 'work' on his blogs. That didn't work so well for the others who did.

No worries. Again, I only transcribe these things for something to do. I can appreciate the letters from people who can admit and accept that they did something wrong because they are in jail in the first place. That doesn't mean I totally believe that they won't go right back out and do something wrong again when or if they do get out. I've known a lot of people who have gone to jail but NEVER for killing anyone. Also, I don't know which of these writers did what but you are in jail/prison for a reason so I don't and can't appreciate/believe the "poor me" letters. Yes, some of the officers may not go by the rules or treat them with "respect" but they are prisoners for a reason. I guess I'm trying to say, "you do the crime, you pay the time." And it may suck but the officers didn't put them in jail/prison, they did it to themselves. Yes, there are other circumstances that can you get you caught up in something and even though you didn't do the actual crime, you were there so you get charged too. But again, you put yourself in that situation. Does any of this make sense? Sorry!! I know that I've made A LOT of changes in my life because I refused to go to jail and if I had stayed on the path I was on, that's probably where I would have ended up. Yes, I'm bored at my job but I'd take working here everyday of the week over being in jail. Anyways, sorry for rambling. Have a great day! Take Care!
