Another day down and another day that I am grateful to be alive. I think about my adaptability to society and even family life. I have spent so much time in a cell alone. I want to be able to adapt to home life easily and quickly. As I want to be a homebody for […]

Saturday, April 26th Rained hard last night, and a cool 62 today. Good thing I have 2 visitors today so I’ll be inside! Both my daughter and her fiance and my old pastor from Portland are here at 11, hopefully able to stay until 2:30. The morning was really productive writing on my ABT book […]
Scott Roethle-05/02/2025-Guilty plea
Trial was set for April 7. I filed motions and legal challenges, but all signs pointed to heading to trial. I knew I couldn’t go to trial. Although there are issues with the government’s case, I did break the law and there is no way around that. The jury would find me guilty on numerous […]

Friday morning on this second day of May, 2025. As much as I may want to stay in bed, I push myself to get up and get ready. There was rumor it would be a half day of work today for us, so a lot of ground to cover this morning. I am on the […]
Michael Santos-Build Your Release Plan

When I walked out of prison after 26 years, my life differed from what others would’ve expected. The journey inside differed. It was different because I learned from leaders who taught me how […]

Greetings from the prison of Atwood, This morning in the Carpentry class, I learned how to use and practiced with various saws and drills. While I have used drills a lot in my life repairing things such as fences (that our Yogi Bear nearly knocked down), I have never used a saw before. The saws […]
Mario A Lesesne-05/01/2025-Dream
Every day that I’ve spent in here has been consumed with numerous dreams. Initially it was just to be free. I’ve sought the dream of freedom over everything else. Then I sat one day, staring out the window at blades of grass dancing in the wind, and realized to myself, what is “freedom” if it’s […]

Here at Aliceville FCI, we have the most lovely migratory birds that dance through a few times a year, make nests under the awning which wraps around the stretch of a place that reminds me of a strip mall. When I first began working compound, so many years ago, the policy was to knock the […]

The world economy is still scrambling to recover after COVID, nothing seems to be the same as before. When you have been in prison during COVID, the impact may have […]
