My Prison Experience

My Prison Experience

by Jacklynn Hoshowatiuk (AKA Jade)

Behind these prison walls

I’m just a number

a face without a name

but it’s only me to blame

Sitting in this cell of shame

crying out but no one came

and no one will

This realization gave me a sudden

chill down my spine

Things are not fine

The food is rotten

Some guards are just fucked

The health care in here

just really sucks

I’m in Hell

I need a way out

In my dreams I scream and shout

They treat you like an animal

locked in a cage

No wonder most prisoners

are full of rage

If they focused less on punishment

and more on rehabilitation

Maybe more prisoners would be

more productive in this nation
