The window in my cell has been absent for the past two years. Many inmates have suffered with the elements in its absence- brutal cold, high winds, rain, hail, snow, etc, and it has been condemned twice that I know of. My bunkie Becky and I are the suckers of the season placed in the […]

When I first entered Federal Prison, a woman who had served 19 years, told me that you could not live in both spaces; Federal Prison and in the free world, she warned that it would make you crazy. I beg to differ. This mindset potentially keeps us from realizing our goals while incarcerated and forges […]
Trung Nguyen-05/22/2025-Journal Entry #19 – Sentencing Day: A New Chapter Begins
Today was sentencing. The night before, I barely slept. I woke around 2 a.m. with thoughts racing—about my family, the unknowns ahead, and everything this journey has entailed. It’s been over three years since this began. On January 7, 2021, federal agents raided my home and business in a highly aggressive operation—something I will never […]
Michael Santos-To Plead or Not to Plead
Several years ago, I got to meet Dr. Muhamad Aly Rifai. He’s a respected psychiatrist and he faced a federal investigation related to telehealth practices.

Angela M Robbins-05/21/2025-Publication
As I reported previously in one of my earlier journal entries, I received notification that my first article was published on the Prison Journalism Project (PJP) website. Last night I received a copy of that posting in the mail. It was amazing to see the artwork posted over the article and my name in the […]

Scott Kaveny-Wednesday, December 25, 2024 – Day 5 of Family Christmas Vacation – Family Dynamic Discoveries
Today was good but also a triggering and challenging Christmas. Some discoveries came up for me, again in chronological order the best I can: Things I could have done better in: Things I did well in: All in all, I am noticing that my twin cares… so does everyone else. And I’m not condemning that. But these […]
