Download or read book OFF THE WALL Prison Art Humor written by Jonathan G. Rundy and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2007-03 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I wanted to show the world that rehabilitation of criminals is a reality and not just a dream. Since most are in prison for property crimes, which stem from living in poverty, it just did not seem smart to lock them up a few years and then kick them out just as poor as they went in. Off The Wall will enable me to hire convicts by buying their art and prose. It will be therapy for some and more money for most. At least they will have a fighting chance. What do they have now? Please note that some of this stuff is gross, weird, unusual, and bizarre. Profanity! This is a combination of humor and expose/opinions. Something for everybody. But not for those who are easily offended or grossed out. Very ingenious stuff, though. A good read! See preview.
Download or read book Stones for Sanity written by Ron Nagy and published by . This book was released on 2013-09-30 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prison humor from an old jail guard. The Author is a retired Prison Guard who resides in Western New York State. Everyone came to jail for various reasons. I was hired as a jail officer. I felt I could make a positive difference in the lives of especially the younger first time offenders. I began one of the biggest and longest lessons of my life. Humor is one positive outlet of inner tensions for both Inmates and Officers. This book is about the humorous side. I ended up working on the prison farm. The Farm was an outside the prison walls work program that would hopefully be enough of a lesson for the guys not to come back to jail. Fernando was mentally slow and very gullible. Tiny was a huge guy with a humorous side and a donut addiction. Gary was a talented Carpenter with a drinking problem. The Farm House Mouse proved how many guys were terrified of mice including me. Floyd was a salesman of illegal substances with no common sense. The Axe man was a tree murderer with a no nonsense mom. Everyone had a nickname and that also included the Officers. I made sure the farm inmates had enough donuts and that got me in trouble at times. Before Billy had come to jail he had had school and family problems and like so many others numbed his mind with alcohol; except he was not a happy drunk and had too many buttons to push.

Download or read book A Prisoner s Guide to Humor written by Frank Feldman and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-06-10 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prisoner's Guide to Humor is an unusual book of jokes intended to bring humor into a setting of endless boredom. A few years ago comedy suddenly became quite the rage at Rahway Prison in New Jersey. It started out as a fad that swept through the house. Originally joke tellers started trading jokes in the chow hall. After awhile they were asked to tell their jokes loudly enough for everyone to hear. Soon they were using the mike and speakers already set up for daily announcements. It's now a major part of prison life at Rahway. Inmates devote much of their free time to comedy. Some have become in-house celebrities for their stand-up routines or for finding hilarious gems to share. Being a "comedian" at Rahway is as important as being a "jailhouse lawyer" (a prisoner who has a good understanding of the legal system and advises other inmates). Our "seasoned comedians" decided to publish a volume or two of the Rahway Prison Comedy Project's 'Guides to Humor' to share with all of you. Consider this gift a model that you can use in your own "Graybar Hotel." If you're a fish, or the rare CO who has a sense of humor or someone who's returned to the free world, or someone from the free world who wants to get a rare look at prison humor you might find this book a hilarious gem. (For readers from outside the Graybar Hotel, a 'fish' is a new prisoner, 'the free world' is the world outside of prison, a 'CO' is a correction officer, and our beloved 'Graybar Hotel' is prison). "The rough life you hear about mainly takes place because our brothers "inside" are living hopeless lives. Comedy has proven to be a healing force in our prison. We all love to laugh. We learn to expose our pain in "group therapy." Comedy expresses the opposite, the pleasure that we all have the capacity to feel.

Download or read book Prison written by James Lloyd and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-03-24 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book deals with some very serious events that I was a part of, starting almost immediately getting out of my two-week indoctrination period: from hands-on trips to lock up to deal with troublesome inmates to a life-or-death situation in the control room in my fourth month of my six-month probationary period, through a couple of riots that took place right after my probation was up, as well as a year or so down the line being the first officer at two murder scenes. There is basically no plot to it; it is a series of events that I went through in what seemed a quick succession.
