The Use Of Preventive Measure Against My Escape

The reason why is because there really isn’t much you can do about it except maybe sleep everyday away. I think writing down everything that happens day by day is a good way and a fun way to deal with this type of situation. If you write down what happens day by day you can always go back to it just to reminisce. You may even want to make it into a book or even a movie in the future. Steve also stayed to himself in jail and didn’t make really make any new friends. I would also stay to myself because I feel like most people in jail are nothing but trouble. I feel like the people in jail won’t help you get out but will help you

In tears, he recalls his story, “You try to close your feelings off, to feel nothing, to feel no hope. Not to the point where you want to commit suicide, but sometimes I made it to the point to where I said just give me the death penalty.” Paul Redd is not the only inmate who was left feeling dehumanized. Many people who have spent several years in confinement claim they were treated like non-human beings and trapped like animals. Another inmate from Pelican Bay State Prison, Gabriel Reyes states, “It is a lack of stimulation, education, food, and proper medical treatment. It is a lack of being treated like human beings instead of animals (Archdeacon, 2015).” It is not healthy for a human being to spend 22 to 24 hours a day trapped in a cell, all

Everyone is raised differently, which is why we all have different opinions, standards, and values. When the topic of solitary confinement is discussed many have different opinions about it. Some people believe it is right for criminals to receive this punishment to pay for what they did. Others believe that it is unnecessary and can be a form of human torture. Considering a large proportion of the prisoners in solitary confinement are part of the “special population” stated in bill A.3080. The New York’s Correctional Association found that people diagnosed with a mental illness made up 11 percent of the state’s overall prison population (Associated Press, 2017).

help but wonder why he is on house arrest. I don’t think much about it, he probably did something harmless, like lighting up in a park. He feeds my dog and waves to me when I get home everyday, but I’m not gonna lie, I do keep my space. Today is different though, I had a really great day, and already in a friendly mood, so when I got home and I saw Mr.Flufferson with him in his front steps I didn’t hesitate to come and grab him. “Hi” “hey” I said. “He was pretty hungry” “thanks for feeding him” I said. It’s nice to see him engaging with me, I love interacting with my neighbors. He asked me to come in for tea, and I mean why not. His house is quaint. It doesn’t look like he’s hosted anyone in years.

Solitary confinement commits an individual to small room closed off from the world; a room devoid of light and human interaction for nearly twenty three hours a day. Not only is the morose environment and isolation unhealthy, but it contributes to increased recidivism rates, sometimes referred to as the revolving door phenomenon. Although solitary confinement provides the staff and general prison population with safety, there are alternatives that can be used rather than continuing the revolving door with the cruelty, expensiveness, and ineffectiveness of solitary.

Since it’s first use in 1829, solitary confinement in prisons has acted as a deterrent and punishment for certain behaviors such as fighting with fellow inmates, disrespecting officers, or violating rules. However, in the past few decades, there has been an influx of prisoners placed in solitary confinement, in which inmates can stay a couple of days or even years. Currently, there are over “80,000 men, women, and children in solitary confinement in prisons across the United States” (Allen). Although solitary confinement is used for disciplinary purposes, there are severe psychological impacts that accompany being stripped completely from social and environmental stimulation. Symptoms ranging from anxiety and depression to perceptual distortions

The Nebraska man who abandoned his nine children under the state's Safe Haven law last year is expecting to become the father of twins Gary Staton has 37years old, became a single father in February 2007 when his wife, Rebel Jane, died of a cerebral aneurysm shortly after giving birth to the couple's ninth child. Unable to handle the burden alone, Staton made national news more than a year later on Sept. 24 when he dropped off his children ages 1 to 17 at a hospital in Omaha.

When confronted with a difficult situation, it becomes easy to get caught up in all of the negative things that can happen. The main objective of the plan becomes lost in all of the ways of getting caught or getting killed, and that objective suddenly seems not as important anymore when faced with death. The horrifying imagery Douglass uses to describe everything that could go wrong when trying to run away shows just how scared he and the group of slaves he was leading were. They knew nothing about the rest of the world and had very little experience outside of Maryland. Consequently, that led to everyone overthinking the negative things and becoming frightened of the journey ahead.

I am held captive by society. I feel captivated because I care too much about what others think about me and society has an idea of perfection that everyone compares people by. I am afraid to be myself because of the fear of other people’s thoughts about who I am so I hide who I am and change how I act depending on who I am around so they will accept me for who they think I am.

When he returns today, you’re ready. Your ears perk up from the sound of his footsteps climbing up the stairs towards the prison’s gate. It opens, the air hits your nose, and it’s like you’re swallowing spring. You leap, darting between the warden’s legs. You can see the green light, the grey sidewalks. Freedom chirps in your ears. “Hey!” exclaims the

They had all been here weeks longer than me. I would later find out later that this prison could hold up to ten of us and still be semi-comfortable. Mike, Bridget. Greg and Brad all kept their distance from me, but Steve took more of an interest. He kind of showed me the ropes and how to survive this place with my sanity somewhat intact. He was just past his prime. I wasn’t exactly sure how old he was, but it didn’t seem important at the time. In the three short weeks I knew him, he became a good friend and mentor. I’m sure if we had more time I would have eventually looked up to him as a father figure, possibly in place of the father I never had. I started to really care for him even though he cautioned me against caring about anyone in this prison. At the start of my third week here Steve started to become sluggish and talk less, and the others started to distance themselves from him. I’m not sure who muttered it first, but they would look at Steve and mutter, “…three months…” I didn’t leave his side, but I started to worry, by the end of the week he could hardly move or talk. I was worried to death, but I didn’t know what to do. When I went to bed that night I didn’t think I would sleep a wink, but I fell into a deep almost drugged sleep and when I woke up the next day Steve had disappeared. I panicked and woke the others. The others shared a look and then Bridget stepped forward and said, “That’s what happens here. The rest of us go to sleep and then we wake up and sometimes someone is missing. We think that the monsters, drug us and take them. We aren’t exactly sure what happens after they disappear, but we never see them again.” After that I learned my lesson. Never get close to

It has been two weeks and three days since I have gone through the hell I usually face every week. I hide in fear most of the time just sitting in my room, waiting for his next outburst of rage. I don’t have much; a metal bed frame with a thin mattress, once sheet, a pillow and a wooden table. That’s all I’m allowed to have. It’s like I’m in prison. Well it sure feels that way.

I started attending class again. Some days were very hard because I can see the seats that Taylor and Sam use to sit in. I started using my classwork and internship as a way of getting my feelings of hatred and sadness out. As another week goes by I get a phone call while on my way home. It says unknown. As I pick it up and say hello it says I have a call from the Washington state women's prison. I stood cold for a minute. It gave me an option, press 1 to take the call and press 2 to decline. I did not know what to do but part of me wanted to hear what they had to say to me. When I chose 1 it wasn’t even Taylor or Sam, it was one of the bodyguards telling me they both would like me to come down and see them. I said I would. The next day after
