Downtime in federal prison is like political ads…it’s constantly there, which explains why guys are always working out, exercising, and often time in physical peak shape. Morgantown has so many activities with a mindset of positive health and wellness. The daily schedule is mundane and offers a lot of free…
Day 10 – You’ve Got Mail
PREFACE Communicating and memorializing my experience of prison became the sole focus for creating a blog. I chose the website intentionally as a reputation builder rather than some egotistical focus on me. A simple Google search of my name results in some negative press releases from the Department of Justice…
Day 9 – T H A N K S G I V I N G
Today, I am beyond grateful for everyone in my life that have been so supportive and understanding of my situation. I know my actions have negatively affected many people, I am heartfully sorry for that I caused any hurt or pain. Thus, I will focus on the positive and lifechanging…
Day 8 – Thanksgiving Eve
Another spectacular sunrise met the blistering cold morning – Yes, I was up early again for breakfast, which was all the milk, donuts, and oatmeal that you could eat (I had a healthy portion though). The Admissions & Orientation (A&O) consists of meeting with several departments. After breakfast, I was…
DAY 7 – SPOILED, BLESSED & 1 WEEK DONE!
I barely slept in anticipation of having a decent spot in line. Around 5:30 am, I sprung from my bunk and bundled up putting on all the clothing that was issued to me. At 6:00 am, our dorm was called to the store and these guys started running, it was…
Day 6 – A Christmas Eve
Today was a novel day – I woke up in time for breakfast at 6:10 am. Handed two instant coffees with sweetener (apparently sugar is not permitted in Morgantown lol) with a glob of oatmeal, warm glazed donut, an orange, and as much skim milk (served in grade school cafeteria…
Day 5 – Church Is a Place for Hypocrites To Gather
Today is Sunday, and it the first Sunny Day since I’ve been here. While it is still as cold as Pluto here, to see the sun has been quite the gift this morning. It is now about 20 degrees (wind-chill must be near 15 degrees) – a brief snow storm…
Accommodations & Amenities
While I was researching “colleges” that I would anticipate attending, I had a really difficult time understanding what each location offered and how it operated. For this post, I’m going to focus on the accommodations and amenities here at FCI Morgantown, which are quite impressive to some degree. This section…
Day 4 – Murder, Cell Phones, Oh My!
Whelp, it was certainly not a quiet night. The rowdy bus had visited my wing, which again apparently is known to be quite rambunctious at night. I am comparing my first night to last night which quite honestly was not too disruptive. I was encouraged to see a bunch of…
Day 3 – A Cog in the Wheel
Okay, it was not a so quiet night last night – in fact, it was quite a bit louder than last night’s peace. We have a final count at 9:00 pm every night, which means that we must stand attentive while two guards walk through each dormitory and official count…
