The following were written by the men in various workshops over the past few weeks.

A tree has a long life span
Like lovers expect when they grow together
Sometimes those lovers make love over time
Like a tree that grows fruit
Or like a couple that has kids
The more you water it
The better it becomes
And the longer the life span grows
From the beauty of nature

The image in front of me shows a boat with two individuals
Sailing toward a mind
The mind is shown as a brain
In the middle of the body of water
While another mind sits further back
What this signifies to me
Is that these two individuals are trying to find
Sanity
By reaching the inside of their own minds
Through a journey
They share this journey together
And must overcome it together
Only then can they find sanity
And live in peace
I believe the journey they undertake
Is taking place subconsciously
While they lay unconscious
In the physical world
They have a band or link
Driving their minds into one

It’s forming like a tidal wave
But looking more like a dragon
With teeth like mine
I think I see a choo choo train
Trying to escape from its chompers

As I look in the mirror
I see a face that reflects Death
Through the pain and the lies
That are laid to rest
I hear screams echo through that man’s chest
One chance
One life
I guess I failed the test

by C.S.


I want to live in a world
That doesn't judge a book by its cover
Here is what I know for sure
That people change

by E.G.


My daily routine in county jail
Is something that I do everyday
Wake up and thank God
For another day of livin’

I believe life is what you make it
And you could do what you want
As long as you put your mind to it
I want to live positively
I could be successful when I get out
And do what I desire
And accomplish my goals in life

by R. R.


I believe in God and second chances
I want to live in a world where there is peace and not violence
Here’s what I know for sure
One day
I’ll be home

by R.B.
