Today is a day which I fast each week. I have been doing it for several months and it hasn’t been that bad. I usually pray all day and keep my mind on things above as opposed to things in front of me. It figures the devil would be tempting me during this discipline because my absolute...
Premeditate is a heck of a word in the legal system. In prison, there are several individuals who have pre-meditated acts. I have heard this word used many times and it’s never in a good context. An inmate is said to be pre-meditated when he plays the angles, meaning: what angle does this...

So, let’s see, according to the State, I am Inmate #####, but I know I am who I am….
Currently, I am property of the DOC at Mid State, but I know I am where I am….

I just wanted to mention a new radio show that was just given to "That Guys Mom" or Andrea Maher. She is a mother of one son that has passed away (Age 28) and Matt Maher who was just sentenced for DUI (killed innocent person). She shares the reality of how it is dealing with such tragedy and how...
They say that the most beautiful diamonds are found in the deepest, darkest, and dangerous caverns/mines. Prior to being this diamond, the solids are lumps of dirty, dusty, and formless coals, which are found in these mines. They are subject to a lot of time in the earth, and massive amounts...
It’s only 7:45 am and already a “piece of prison mentality.” Tier sanitation begins cleaning the tier around 7:30 am after the mass movement. This morning, Jay decided to move all the foot lockers so the area can be swept and mopped properly. Meanwhile, the Sgt. was walking through and spotted a...
Ryan and Fila visited me this morning, and it was great to see them and catch up. The visit hall was not as packed as I thought it would be, being that it’s Father’s Day. It was sad to see some of the fathers (inmates or not) after the visit was terminated.
Once we are told to leave the...
“For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” I Sam. 16:7
It is typical for us as humans to judge things based on what it looks like from the outside. We are so quick to make our opinions just by looks and this is something...

It’s 7 am sharp and I just got back from morning mess excited, yet I am feeling nervous for another inmate named Nafi, who is being released today after serving 7 ½ years in prison. I have become close to this guy over the past few months, because Jay and I...

Just got done a beautiful visit with my parents. They filled me in on a lot of stuff at home, and I filled them in on a lot of stuff in here. I was relieved to hear that my Aunt Dee is doing alright after having a heart attack. Makes you really think about how...

Late night on the tier. I was up at 5:00 am this morning working out and doing my morning devotionals. After breakfast, we decided to clean the entire tier. Now this is supposed to be tier sanitation’s job every morning, but some of these guys literally sweep for...

The World Cup in South Africa started today and I already watched the opening game, Mexico vs.S. Africa tied 1-1. The next game, which I have the majority of the tier watching is at 2:30 pm. One month of World Cup Soccer and I love it. I’m picking England to take...
