Entry 1
I can say prison has affected me in every way possible. Emotionally it has been devastating. It has really made me realize I am really not important and by that I mean my wants, my needs and almost every other aspect of me are not the main topic of concern to others. Every man in here has problems and feel that they’re more important than others. As for my family, it has been really hard for them to cope with my incarceration. I mean they still love me on all levels and [even though] I am a convicted murderer, they still trust me and think I’m a loving, gentle, fun guy. The main issue I come across is financial. My family doesn’t make that much money and can only send me a little bit each month and sometimes I put stress on them by asking for money when they don’t have it to spare. I have lost my daughter, baby’s momma, and mother since I’ve been down and it makes me feel [like] I have nothing to lose. So I am more prone to act with reckless abandon and do dumb things that cause my family problems. I can say overall prison has pretty much destroyed me. I can’t even begin to relate the way these officers treat us. I have witnessed so many illegal things they have done. I mean I have been in the block when they beat an inmate to death and said he was refusing to submit to cuffs and became physically aggressive. I can say all this and still not be able to convey the actual distress prison has on its inhabitants. I don’t see how prison can be considered rehabilitation when it offers little to none of the things people need to be a law abiding citizen.

Entry 2
Punishment by CO’s
Punishment is what incarceration is; for the atrocities we commit, but sometimes authority pushes it way too far. I have been in prison for eight years and I can attest to the fact that COs abuse their power in ways that are inhumane. I know that we bring a lot of the abuse on ourselves by acting stupid but some of the things that are done to us are just plain malicious. I would say about seven out of ten COs have low self-esteem and are using their power that they now have to make up for their own problems they have. I have a neurological brain disorder called Tourette’s Syndrome that makes me bark like a dog and meow like a cat and I am treated pretty bad by some of them and when I ask why they treat me bad most of them say “Punishment” but I always thought punishment was to be given when you did something wrong, I mean, just because we are in prison it does not make us the degradation of society. We are humans regardless of race, religion, or sexual orientation we should be treated with respect as long as we show them respect but that is not how it works most of the time.
