incarceration
Incarceration, rehabilitation, recidivism: The reality of prison life and what it's like to be an inmate locked up behind bars.
Invisible Fury 2
Who is worse? The Murderer or the Child Molester? If you had to make a choice on who was worse who would you say was worse? You can only pick one. No other information, just one is a Murderer and the other a Child Molester. Some people would say the Child Molester because they hurt innocent little children. Some people would say the Murderer because they took another person's life. However, in the eyes of the law, a Murderer gets anywhere from 20 years to Life pending what degree. When it comes to a Child Molester, they tend to get no more than 10 years. For a person who got caught and are in prison for only the 2nd time, one got over 40 years for a Robbery with a BB gun, and another got over 60 years for selling drugs under the pressure of their landlord. But hey, that Child Molester will be walking the streets in less than 5 years.

UNCAGED
UNCAGED The Owl Within Her They called her “Officer Owl” because she had the wisdom of a Barn Owl, with the abilities of a Chameleon. Jodi Jenkins worked nights as a Police Officer for the City of Hampden, in Hampden County, Florida. Jenkins was a petite rookie determined to make a difference. Her duty belt barely fit her tiny waist and she was often thought of as “too attractive to be a cop” by her squad.

More sympathy for prisoners
Much of 2020 was a write-off. Seeing as the pandemic had swept around the world a lot of people didn't really do much. We moped around but we still had our luxuries; like going out, talking and conversing with friends and family and enjoying our own homes. Much of the people today believe they're imprisoned in their homes during the lockdown. Some are just realizing that it is affecting their mental health. What would you say if there are people suffering way worse than this?

Turd in the shower
So people have been asking me if I wrote anything while I was away. The answer is yes. Much of it is junk, because prison wasn't that funny this time. Most of the stuff I did was just to depressing for Facebook. I did however have a few good sessions. So I thought I'd share. This one is called "turd in the shower "

If I gave you $100 and dropped you in the middle of Denver, Colorado and told you to figure out how to survive, could you do it? I'm sure you could. But here's the catch, all you have is $100 and the clothes on your back. You have no job, no place to live, no other clothing, no other money, nothing, not even family or friends. Oh and there's one more rule - you can't break a SINGLE LAW. So how are you going to survive? You could try to ask people for help but you don't know anyone. You could start by trying to get a job, but you're not in the right type of clothing to be able to even look decent for an interview. So how is that going to work? I guess you could start by getting some clothes that are decent enough for an interview, but even going to a Thrift Store means that $100.00 will drop pretty quickly. So after you get pants, a dress shirt, a belt, and shoes, we are down to $80.00 if we're lucky. That's being conservative, because if you're trying to ensure you look good, you also need to make sure you get socks, and undershirt, probably want some other underwear, lets not forget the backpack to keep your old clothes in - don't wanna wear out those nice clothes you just got. But we'll go with absolute minimums. So now it is time to go around to get a job. Wait! Totally forgot, you have to have a form of ID. Well after walking (don't wanna waste any of the small amount of money you have) to the nearest place to get a State ID (approximately $12.00) we're left with $68.00. Now looks like it's about time to job hunt. Probably best not to be picky at all. So you might as well apply for absolutely anything and everything you can. Even if you manage to land a job that pays weekly, pays at least $15.00 an hour, AND provides you with uniforms, unless you have a roof over your head or a place to shower you probably won't keep that job for long. Too bad that $68.00 remaining will only get you somewhere to stay for a night and maybe buy you a couple ramen noodle soups to help you get by. So you managed to survive for a day... what will you do tomorrow?

Trump and the Power to Pardon
It is well known that the president has the power to pardon anyone who chooses for "...offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment." But who he chooses to pardon or how many pardons have people saying that he is only doing it because they are is cronies or some other corrupt reasoning for pardoning them.

Doing Time
Chapter One Continued... This is written by Bruce Thibodeaux for the world.... As I lay back in my rack typing a love story to my beautiful and beloved wife to be on my JP5 Tablet, an inmate by the name of Dough Boy comes up to me with his coffee cup in his hand. "BJ, say my nigga, can you spare a shot?" he asks. I Tell him yeah and reach in my locker to produce a bag of keefe coffee, and give him exactly 2 spoonfuls of the instant coffee that they sell us from the commissary. 2 spoons= 1 shot of coffee. "Preciate ya homie." he says Yeah whateva... I lay my head back, look around the dorm, and observe my surroundings. I instantly feel that familiar sense of dread... of seeing the same things, the same faces,the same characteristic actions from the same people everyday of my life. The never ending revolving door of my existence. It makes me sick. I am far too used to it...

Doing Time
Chapter One For my first story, I am starting with his...Bruce Thibodeaux, also known as BJ, the love of my life. He is currently incarcerated in a prison in Louisiana. He has served 11 and a half years with 15 more to go. All of his story may not be pretty, but this is something he needs to do, and we believe the world needs to hear. I am currently also writing my version of Doing Time, as I have recently served 5 flat years. We have other stories, as we come up with subjects and we write essays together. We have decided to start with this one of his, as it touched my heart so wholly, is the only word that comes to mind. He is an amazing writer, among many, many other amazing talents he has that are just wasting away in there. Thanks to vocal, at least his writing abilities, his ability to make people see and understand, his love for all of humanity will not be wasted any longer. If you would like to leave tips for us to be able to continue to get his, mine, our stories out for everyone to see, please feel free, as they would be greatly appreciated. It is pretty expensive to be able to correspond through the prison system. Thank you. And I genuinely hope that y'all can feel and experience our stories as we have, the good times and bad, happiness and sadness, trust and betrayal, longing and suffering, strengths and well if I continue to go on we won't need to write different stories so this is the beginning of just one of our real life adventures we will take you on...
