Narrative Essay On Prison

773 Words4 Pages

Prison. I’ve been here so long, I don’t even remember what I did wrong. I could have robbed a national bank, attempted to assassinate a US ambassador, or what. I wouldn’t know. The only thing I remember was what I left: family and friends. Them, and the wardens, from all of my previous venues. On my first day in state prison (at the time I was located in Los Angeles, CA), I was welcomed by my first warden.
A “gentleman” older and taller than me, was waiting for me as I walked through the gates of the prison. I was already wearing my beige prisoner suit that hung loosely, everywhere. I was expecting to pass him, but before I could, he yanked me backwards by my pony-tail. I was caught off guard and was sent hurdling backwards, tripping over …show more content…

But something that set me off was I also felt his right leg slide behind mine. How predictable?! He was trying to do the same thing I did to the warden! And with that, I dislocated his ligament. That, or I fractured it. Either way, it must have hurt like a bitch, and he wailed out in pain. I let go of him, causing him to fall to the floor. Two other guards came running down my hallway, each on opposite ends of it. They both brought out a pair of handcuffs. It’s funny, because if they had just cuffed me after I had finished getting into my prison-uniform, we wouldn’t be in this mess. Anyway, they caught me (after I gave them a fight to remember) and after consulting the justice system, they moved to the next closest state prison. This one, however, was located in Lancaster, CA. So basically since then, I’ve been giving all the guards hell, except for Sinthia. who’s my favorite guard ever. She doesn’t give me shit, and she even gives me decent meals, whenever I’m in solitary confinement. By that, I mean, she sneaks in a real bed roll. The bread rolls I get when she doesn’t supply me with them, are long past rotten and moldy. But it’s worth it if the guards don’t mess with me

    Why the prison system is flawed The american prison system is flawed and should be changed because it is very expensive to keep it running the way it is, the prison system is helping gangs grow and it can be fixed it is possible. I believe that it needs to change so that cities will have more tax money to fix other things and the people who don't deserve to get released won't be. The prison system is very expensive for taxpayers because they have to pay to employ the officers, they have to pay for the building, the tools, the food for them to eat, there clothing and bedding.

    Few remember that not just the indicted are changed in the prison system-the authority figures become different, too. Thousands of people go to detention facilities and stay there from minutes to decades, but the authority figures stay there with every influx of new prisoners. The wardens, in particular, are a monumental part of the system. They regulate the prisoners causing them to adapt to situations, whether positive or negative. Samuel Norton, the warden in the adaptation of Stephen King’s Shawshank Redemption, is embodied by the atmosphere of the prison.

    I have never before visited a prison nor have I met a prisoner in my entire life. Why should I care about someone whom I would rarely see? But these inmates are our brothers and sisters who may have made bad choices, but don’t want their mistakes to hold them back. Throughout my life, my once miserable and hopeless circumstances were transformed by education, and I am certain that the same principle can be applied to anyone, including inmates, despite our differences in how we responded to circumstances. It is true that prison takes nearly everything away from them – even their hopes and dreams.
