BR: Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island is a classic coming-of-age adventure that I recently had the pleasure of reading. While it's often considered a young adult novel, its impact on popular culture is undeniable. I've been working my way through classic...
BR: The Art of War by Sun Tzu
The Art of War by Sun Tzu has been on my reading list for a considerable time. I even attempted the audiobook during my time in San Francisco, spurred by its frequent appearance on lists for CEOs and self-improvement enthusiasts. The book is structured into 13...
The Transformative Power of a Haircut
Tuesday was a surprisingly wonderful day, as pleasant as any day in prison can be. It started with commissary shop day, the bi-weekly occasion when we receive the items we ordered the previous week. "Campers" are usually running low on snacks and toiletries by this...
BR: Visual Thinking by Temple Grandin
Visual Thinking is a book I came across in the library. I was looking for something educational or informative. This book definitely fits the bill. The author is autistic and on the sounds of it, pretty far down the spectrum. He couldn't speak till age 4 and not...

Day 1 (Part2) A Shared Night in the SHU
I stood in a cage, watching guards hurry down the hall. Two identical empty cages flanked mine. “Strip!” one of the guards yelled. They were serious, their voices laced with disgust. Fear stripped my clothes off quickly. Most SHU inmates are being punished. The guards...
The Journey Begins – Day 1
I heard life is just a series of rooms you’re in with different people. That best describes my first day. I arrived at FCI Cumberland at 11:00 a.m. The letter detailing my self-surrender said to report to the satellite camp at 2 p.m., but I was told to get there...
