Well, today is my first entry and if I can manage to type with these damn long nails that need cut will be a miracle. I am at OTC, I have been here since Sep 19th and I was told I was going to Tallahassee and then I was going to Aliceville but I guess […]
Angela M Robbins-09/30/2024-Outstanding candidate
What makes you an outstanding candidate for a job, a partnership, a loan or venture capitalist to start a business? A job, a partnership, a loan or investments for starting a business all require preparation, dedication and commitment in order to excel. These are three qualities that I have developed while incarcerated and I plan […]

Amanda Young-09/30/2024-Prison Professors Talent
Well I just got accepted on to this site and have yet to receive the books by Michael Santos if those are the books in question but I have heard great things and am excited to receive them and the motivation that I believe comes with them. When anyone asks me about a book that […]
Shane Andrew Smith-09/30/2024-Changing the System
Today’s Response:I would like the BOP to actually implement the First Step Act as it amended the various statutes. Six years after it became effective, the BOP still doesn’t follow the statutes related to the FSA. They don’t give GCT credits of 54 days per year up front as the statute states and even their […]

I was determined to learn a second language (Spanish) while in prison to ensure I could communicate with my fellow prisoners but that skill will translate into more […]

I would like to see people actually going to court and that we can be treated innocent until proven guilty. Not offered a plea deal for a mark in the win column. Real Justice, equal justice for all, both rich and poor needs to come to the Justice System. These prosecutors have too much power […]

Dominque De La Rosa-09/30/2024-Changing the System
Changes I would like in American Prison system: I think it would be essential to give each inmate, who had a public defender, a survey on how well they think they were represented. As a first-time offender, I was very naive. I never asked my attorney for much, I had someone on the outside provide […]
Nicole Beattie-09/30/2024-Changing the System
