Prisoners are helpless and without hope. They are savagely oppressed. They have no voice. In more humane times, prisoners could rely on independent courts as unbiased forums in which to address their grievances. The courts are now as utterly unreliable as the government.
Prisoners have no way to effect improvements in their existence.
The DOC doesn't want the public to know what's really happening in the prisons. They dread the idea that you may discover that prisoners are people just like anyone else. DOC fanatically crushes free speech and free expression. It fears the truth. We try to offer our wee-small voice for the wretched, a kind of online newsletter.
