Incarceration, rehabilitation, recidivism: The reality of prison life and what it's like to be an inmate locked up behind bars.
Once We Were Children
We come and we go and we are who we are, nothing can change this. Fate. That’s what we believed when we were kids if you could call what we were, kids. We quickly learned, there are no children here. Many of us, too many, believed there was only one path that lay in front of us. Sometimes I think none of us were ever really children, the curiosity and amazement of childhood evaded us in the absence of able-bodied parents or positive role models, the lack thereof which caused the streets to step in to raise us. We really thought we knew it all.

Happy 18TH BDAY
Time flies by so quickly it’s crazy!! It seems like just last week I was not even old enough to buy alcohol from the stores and now, at 32, if I am not carded at the store it no doubt offends me!! when I was 18 I was involved with the crowd of people that wpould change my life forever. It wasn’t even a month after my 18th birthday and I was hanging out with my bestfriend Lil Steve. We called him “lil Steve” because of his height and weight and basically he was just litttle for his age and had always been smaller than the rest of his class.

Hello Hutchinson
When this all first started with a random phone call in October of 2020, everything seemed like a distant impossibility. You see, for the majority of my life, I had failed at everything I had tried. More accurately, I rarely tried to do anything of accomplishment. For most of my adult life, I battled alcoholism, addiction, and all of the damage that is the result of doing so. I started early on in my teens, and it just kept getting worse because I loved the feeling of not feeling, and the chemicals that made me who I thought I wanted to be. Five years, seven months, and eight days ago I was released from a minimum-security prison treatment program with the shirt on my back and a few measly dollars to start life over, again. Today, my wife and I are signing the papers that make us owners of a restaurant.

Living With A "Convict"
In today's society, more and more young people are finding themselves in trouble with the law. Growing up, I was always taught to stay away from those who have broken the law. However, being an adult now I realise it's never as black and white as people make it out to be.

Criminals or victims?
Criminals or victims? Do victims who later become antisocial, need forgiveness or punishment ? The whole question of crime and punishment has been subject to debates for hundreds of years, in democracies those opposed to punishment tend, not exclusively, to be people with more socialist political beliefs.
