Letters to Editor
Dear Culture Department,
Hello, how are you? I hope this letter finds
you in robust health and happy spirits.
I was extremely disturbed by your ad requesting Heritage and Culture articles for
all non-white races. You contribute to the
genocide of the White Race by refusing to
acknowledge that white people have any
heritage or culture worth preserving.
A hundred years ago one out of three people
on this planet were white; today less than
one out of twelve are white, and that number slides further down into oblivion every
day. Only 1 ½ % of the world’s population
are white women of child bearing age (the
only ones capable of giving birth to white
children), and our race is dying.
So your refusal to acknowledge that white
people exist, or that they have anything to
offer the world, is offensive and contributes
to the genocide of my race. Please rethink
your anti-white policies or I will call for a
boycott by all white prisoners of your magazine. I am a Centurion of the Creativity
Prison Ministries and an ordained minister
of the Church of the Creator. I am not without influence. So please reconsider your
anti-white stance and henceforth include
the white race whenever you are discussing
heritage and culture.
The White Race is Nature’s Finest, and
we’ve contributed more inventions, philosophies and culture than all the other races
put together. Acknowledging that basic fact
is perfectly acceptable and shows an admirable willingness not to conform with the
politically correct White bashers who rule
intelligentsia these days.
I look forward to seeing your inclusion of
my race in the future. Just because we are
white doesn’t mean we deserve to be marginalized and genocided.
Sincerely Yours,
Rev. Jason A. Wilcox (CA)
Dear Reverend Wilcox,
Thank you for your concern. I can appreciate your point of view, however, I do not
consider “white” to be a race all by itself.
There are many races that can be considered white, such as British, Irish, Russian,
Polish, French, German, Italian, Spanish,
Mexican, and the list goes on and on. As
the world grows smaller and races intermarry, all races mix and blend. I can forsee
4
The Insider Magazine Sept/Oct 2007
a single blended race in the future if this
practice continues. If anything, this may
be your concern; that all races will blend
into one.
I have always recognized that some people
are white; I myself am white.
To say that I have contributed to any kind of genocide is
ludicrous, as is your insinuation that I am a white basher.
Maybe that attitude is why
you believe that your “white
race” has contributed to the world more
than all other races combined. That is another ludicrous assumption. How could
you possibly know who contributed to every invention in the world? Next you will
claim that whites invented fire!
It’s difficult for me to believe that you are a
man of God when you make false accusations against people you have never met
and know little about. I have never ignored
any group because of their race. I have,
however, ignored groups because of their
hatred of others. If you did half as much
investigating into prison populations as
you did researching white supremacy, you
would find that the majority of inmates are
black, with a large Hispanic population as
well. Next comes the Asians then Native
Americans. Whites comprise less than 2%.
Our ad for culture targeted the majority
of the prison population. We certainly did
not exclude any race or culture, and welcome any article or information that could
be used in an article that would be interesting to others. Our goals are to promote
literacy through reading and art appreciation by encouraging artists to submit their
work. Most of the prison population is
in need of improving their reading skills.
This can be useful on the outside. If we
provide interesting things to read, inmates
will want to read more, thereby improving
their reading skills through practice.
The reason for the culture and heritage
articles is to promote understanding between different peoples. If there is a better understanding of others’ background,
history, and customs, there will be better
acceptance of those things that some people don’t understand. Our hope is to help
inmates get along better and start discussions about their customs and beliefs. This
is the reason I actually printed your incit-
ing letter. I know it is designed to create
controversy, and reason says I shouldn’t
print it at all; but while I don’t agree with
your philosophy, I do support your right to
state your beliefs.
I hope you are able to get closer
to your God and He helps you get
over the anger and hatred you so
obviously have for others that are
different from you. Maybe that’s
why you’re in jail. Good luck with
your boycott. Ed.
Dear Editor,
I am a new reader to your magazine #4
and it was awesome and it’s a good read.
I am hooked and I am enclosing stamps to
receive issue 3 and 2. I am submitting a
poem call “Black Culture” for your heritage and culture column that coming up
soon. I am also sending a couple of poems
to be posted in the next “Poet Corner” of
your next magazine. I love to write poetry
and my dream is one day to write a poetry
book of urban poetry. I pray and hope you
like my work and look forward to hearing
from you soon. God Bless.
Thomas Anderson
Dear Thomas.
Thanks for your praise. I’m delighted
that you enjoy our little magazine. Please
share it with others. I really like your poem
“Black Culture” and I am saving it for a
future issue that will feature black poetry.
Check out this months’ Poet’s Corner for
some of your other poems. You are quite
talented, and I would encourage you to
continue writing. Maybe you can publish
a book of your poetry in the future. Keep
up the good work.
Ed
Editor’s Note: Due to lack of response to
our Culture and Heritage announcements,
we are not doing the articles. If you feel that
you want to read about this subject, please
drop us a note and let us know. We want

Two women met for the first time since
graduating from high school. One
asked the other, “You were always so
organized in school. Did you manage to
live a well-planned life? “
“Yes,” said her friend. “My first marriage
was to a millionaire; my second
marriage was to an actor; my third marriage
was to a preacher; and now I’m
married to an undertaker.”
Her friend asked, “What do those marriages
have to do with a well-planned
life?”
“One for the money, two for the show, three
to get ready, and four to go.”

say has long been reportedly covered up

They Walk Among Us!
Some guy bought a new fridge for his
house. To get rid of his old
fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung
a sign on it saying: “Free to good home.
You want it, you take it.” For three days
the fridge sat there without even one
person looking twice at it. He eventually
6
The Insider Magazine Sept/Oct 2007
decided that people were too un-trusting
of this deal. It looked too good to be true,
so he changed the sign to read: “Fridge
for sale $50.” The next day someone stole
it.

While looking at a house,
my brother asked the real

direction was north
because, he explained,
he didn’t want the sun
waking

A pretty lonely guy decided life would be
more fun if he had a pet. So he went to the
pet store and told the owner that he wanted
to buy an unusual pet.
After some discussion, he decided on a
centipede, which came in a little white box
to use for its house. He took the centipede
home, found a good location for the box
home, and then decided he would start off
by taking his new pet to a restaurant to
have dinner.
So he asked the centipede in the box,
“Would you like to go to McDonald’s
with me to have dinner?” But there was
no answer from his new pet. This bothered
him a bit, but he waited a few minutes and
then asked him again, “How about going
to McDonald’s with me?” But again, there
was no answer from his new friend and
pet.
So he waited a few minutes more, thinking
about the situation. He decided to ask
him one more time; this time putting his
face up against the centipede’s house and
shouting, “Hey, in there! Would you like
to go to McDonald’s with me to have
dinner?”
A little voice came out of the box: “I heard
you the first time! I’m putting on my
shoes!!”

Irony at the Pearly Gates...
Two men waiting at the Pearly Gates strike
up a conversation. “How’d you die?” the
first man asks the second.
“I froze to death,” says the second.
“That’s awful,” says the first man. “How
does it feel to freeze to death?”
“It’s very uncomfortable at first”, says the
second man. “You get the shakes, and you
get pains in all your fingers and toes. But
eventually, it’s a very calm way to go. You
get numb and you kind of drift off, as if
you’re sleeping. How about you, how did
you die?”
“I had a heart attack,” says the first man.
“You see, I knew my wife was cheating
on me, so one day I showed up at home
unexpectedly. I ran up to the bedroom, and
found her alone, knitting. I ran down to
the basement, but no one was hiding there,
either. I ran up to the second floor, but no
one was hiding there either. I ran as fast as
I could to the attic, and just as I got there, I
had a massive heart attack and died.”
The second man shakes his head. “That’s
so ironic,” he says.
“What do you mean?” asks the first man.
“If you had only stopped to look in the
freezer, we’d both still be alive.”

George was going up to bed when his wife
told him that he’d left the light on in the
garden shed, which she could see from the
bedroom window.
George opened the back door to go turn
off the light but saw that there were people
in the shed stealing things.
He phoned the police, who asked “Is
someone in your house?” and he said
no. Then they said that all patrols were
busy, and that he should simply lock his
door and an officer would be along when
available.
George said, “Okay,” hung up, counted to
30, and phoned the police again.
“Hello, I just called you a few seconds
ago because there were people in my shed.
Well, you don’t have to worry about them
now cause I’ve just shot them all.” Then
he hung up.
Within five minutes three police cars, an
Armed Response unit, and an ambulance
showed up at George’s residence.
Of course, the police caught the burglars
red-handed.
One of the policemen said to George: “I
thought you said that you’d shot them!”
George said, “I thought you said there was
nobody available!”

An elderly couple were celebrating their
sixtieth anniversary. The couple had
married as childhood sweethearts and had
moved back to their old neighborhood
after they retired.
Holding hands they walked back to their
old school. It was not locked, so they
entered, and found the old desk they’d
shared, where Andy had carved “I love
you, Sally.”
On their way back home, a bag of money
fell out of an armored car, practically
landing at their feet. Sally quickly picked
it up, but not sure what to do with it, they
took it home. There, she counted the
money - fifty-thousand dollars!
Andy said, “We’ve got to give it back.”
Sally said, “Finders keepers.” She put the
money back in the bag and hid it in their
attic.
The next day, two FBI agents were
canvassing the neighborhood looking
for the money, and knocked on the door.
“Pardon me, but did either of you find
a bag that fell out of an armored car

Sally said, “No.”
Andy said, “She’s lying. She hid it up in

Miss Know-it-All
Dear Miss Know-it-All,
I am a Mexican female inmate who married
to an American for the last six years but I
still haven’t applied for my citizenship although I was qualified long time ago – my
crime is a class C felony and I have an INS
detainer - I wonder and worry what they
are going to do with me, please help!
Marcia (CA)
Dear Marcia.
The INS, which is run by Homeland
security now, does not take any felony
offenses lightly after the 911 incident. I did
some research and discovered that being
married to an American citizen do not have
much power to keep you in this country if
your felony is a deportable felony such as
murder, assault, drug trafficing and most of
the sex crimes. My suggestion for you is to
look in an immigration law book in your
law library and see if your felony falls into
the deportable category. If so, there is not
much you can do.
They don’t appoint you an attorney when
you go to the INS court; you have to provide
your own representation. In most cases you
are fighting a loosing battle if your crime
falls into the deportable category. If you
decide to fight after they come and pick you
up, and believe me, they will come and pick
you up on your release day, they will hold
you from 6 months to a year in a county
jail while you are going through the appeal
process.
My suggestion to you is – if your crime
falls into the deportable category and if
your conviction is affirmed (your criminal
case is not still going through an appeal
process) – you should make it easier for
yourself and let them deport you since you
are fighting a loosing battle, anyway. Good
luck to you, and if you an get out without
being deported – get your citizenship as
soon as you can. If you are deported – it’s
not the end of the world either because
there is only a 2 years waiting period. I
believe and with the help of your American
citizen husband, you can legally return to
this country.
Dear Miss Know-it-All,
Currently I am an inmate in the State of
California system and this is my third time
entering the system for drug crimes. My
8 The Insider Magazine Sept/Oct 2007
first two times were crimes I committed in
other States and California has this law – 3
strikes you’re out and I am scared to death
to come out and commit another crime. I
am an alcoholic who has not much skills
and training and honestly I am scared to
death to go back to the same life cycle because that’s the only thing I know. Please
help me.
Rick (CA)
Dear Rick,
Well, my dear that’s the problem with our
youth these days – addiction
problems
and thinking errors. First of all we have
“At least I am going
to give it a good try.
So try me!”
to admit our problems and thinking errors
before we can on our way to a healthy
life style and stay out of trouble. It’s not
something easy to do but you can do it.
Take advantage of all the cognitive thinking
class your institution offers you. Then take
advantage of some of the trade training
and computer training classes your
institution provides for you. Take control of
your time and better yourself when you are
incarcerated.
These courses will help you overcome your
alcohol addiction and will help you think
better when making decisions. This training
will help you make it on the outside and
reduce your chances of committing another
crime. You do not want to take a chance of
having a third strike against you. You have
no more chances. This is it, so do everything
you can to retain your freedom and stay
crime free. Becoming free forever is really
all what it is cracked up to be. It’s worth it.
Make the sacrifice while someone else is
paying the bill. Get that critical knowledge
and change your life forever. Then, and only
then, will you truly be free.
By the way the Insider Magazine is also
aware of the serious issues with our youth
are facing these days and have structured a
program to help you and other inmates to a
healthy and successful future. See Page 19
for more information and we look forward to
seeing you participate with us.
Dear Miss Know-it-All,
I was just sentenced to 3 years in prison
and through it all I lost everything and the
only thing I have left are my beloved animals
– a dog and a cat. They are staying with a
so called friend of mine who I pay to care
for my animals but he doesn’t have a stable
living style and I worry about the well being
of my animals. I am just about running out
of funds to support my animals while I am in
prison and I am really stress out. My animals
are the only families I have. What can I do?
Susan (LA)
Dear Susan,
If you can’t find a real friend or relative
who loves your animals as much as you do,
and can care for them as good as you have,
both with love and financially while you are
incarcerated, you would be better off calling
your local animal shelters and have them
find a good family to adopt your dog and
your cat. I know you really don’t want to do
that but for the sake and love of your animal
– I think you should. It’s unfair to your pet
and to you to think otherwise. Good luck.

The truth about Chocolate
Chocolate is extracted from the beans of

Beans are a vegetable
Sugar is extracted from sugar beet

Chocolate bars contain milk
Therefore chocolate bars are healthy!!!

So I Married an Atheist ...
A young lady came home from a date,
rather sad. She explained to her mother,
“Anthony proposed to me an hour ago.”
“Then why are you so sad?” her mother
asked.
“Because he also told me he is an atheist.
Mom, he doesn’t even believe there’s a
Hell!”
Her mother replied, “Marry him anyway.
Between the two of us, we’ll show him
how wrong he is.”

Don’t Mess With Texas...
Two Texans were having lunch at their
favourite restaurant when they noticed
a young woman at the next table having
trouble breathing. One of the Texans got
up, walked over to her table, took her face
in his big Texan hands and said, “Kin ya
swaller?” She shook her head ‘no.’
“Kin ya breath?” Again she shakes her
head ‘no.’
Suddenly, the Texan grabbed her around
the waist with one of his big Texan hands,
turned her over, pulled up her skirt, and
licked her right on the bottom!
The young woman was so shocked that
she coughed, causing the food to dislodge!
The big Texan, pulled up her skirt, turned
her right side up, tipped his hat and
returned to his seat.
His companion sitting there, is stunned:
“I have never seen anything like that in my
whole life!” he says to his heroic friend.
“Yep, I tell ya, that Hind Lick maneuver

Dear Marie.
I have heard these same things over and
over again from inmates in facilities all
across the country, but you put them all into
one letter, and did so eloquently. Surely the
prison system needs to change a lot of their
common practices, but before any changes
can take place, the tax paying public has
to know what is really going on inside. If
enough people make legitimate complaints
to their political representatives, change will
occur. Unfortunately, inmates don’t vote, so
it will be up to your families and friends on
the outside to make your conditions known.
Good luck with that. Ed.

THE DUBIOUS DENARIUS
South Somerset in England, as many an ardent hiker
knows, has fine walking paths through lowland landscapes of dairy farms, crop farms, modest forests,
and charming villages.
Thomas P. Stanwick, the amateur logician from New
England, was delighted to discover these for himself
one July as he took a solitary walking tour through
the district. He was on holiday, with no more freelance editing projects on hand until September.
After a full day of walking, Stanwick found the guest
lounge of a bed-and-breakfast near Bruton very
comfortable. With him there that evening were two
sturdy, middle-aged American women and a British
writer in his early forties.
“My sister Rose and I are traveling through the
south of England this summer,” said Elena Symes.
“My first real holiday since my Elliott died last year.
Where are you traveling, Mr. Stanwick?”
“Well, I’m finishing up the Leland Trail,” said
Stanwick. “I’ve looked in on Stoke-sub-Hamdon
and Penselwood Forest, and am looking forward to
exploring Bruton and King Alfred’s Tower. Later I’ll
check out the water gardens of Stourhead in Wiltshire
as well. Bruton itself is supposed to be the smallest
village in England, but has room for a packhorse
bridge, a dovecote, and a two-towered church. How
about you, Mr. Denault?”
Noah Denault, the writer, laughed. “I’m visiting Roman fortification ruins in the area. My current project
is an historical novel on Roman Britain, and this is
part of my research.”
“Roman Britain!” Stanwick grinned. “Old Julius
Caesar landed in Britain in 55BC and again in 54BC,
I think it was, before being recalled to deal with unmitigated Gaul. ‘Veni, vidi, vici, and vamoosed.’ The
Romans returned in 43AD, were reinforced in person
by Emperor ‘I, Claudius,’ and lingered until 410.
There must be plenty of artifacts still around.”
“I hope so,” said Denault.
“Oh, the Romans!” exclaimed Symes. “Well, then,
you might be interested in my coin.”
She pulled up from her blouse an aged silver medallion clipped to a thin gold chain around her neck.
Denault examined it and gave a low whistle.
“A Julius Caesar denarius!” he said with wonder.
“There’s the Latin inscription, the date – 42BC – and
the Caesar profile. Is it possibly genuine?”
“Oh, yes!” Symes beamed. “After my Elliott retired
from real estate, he took up philately and numismatics as hobbies. He got his coins from a highly reputable dealer in Miami. Welby Rare Coins. He was
going to have this one mounted and put on display
in his library, but he – well, he died before he could.
So now I carry it as a good-luck charm in memory
of him.”
“That’s very touching,” remarked Stanwick. “Where
did the dealer get the coin from?”
“Oh, gracious, I have no idea. I understand that Mr.
Welby has connections all over the world.”
“Have you had the coin appraised?”
“No, not yet.” Symes took a sip of tea. “I suppose
I should before I keep carrying it about with me.
Maybe when I get home next month.”
“Just when was Caesar assassinated, anyway?”
mused Denault. “I should know, of course, but
remembering dates isn’t my strong suit.”
“44BC,” stated Rose Toole firmly. “The Ides of
March, remember?”
“That’s right. Well!” Denault grinned. “Now I’ll keep
my eyes open for coins as well as fortification ruins!”
“Maybe not coins quite like that one.” Stanwick
smiled faintly. “It still makes a lovely charm and memento, Mrs. Symes. I’m no expert on Roman coins,
but I’m afraid that one is NOT genuine.”
HOW DOES STANWICK KNOW THE COIN IS
NOT GENUINE?

Cars
Street Dreams
A Tale of Two Guys, and a Stunning
Raging Bull of an Exotic
By Dan Burrill
Photography: Dan Burrill
Joe Martin is no stranger to the world of kit
cars and hot rods. He’s also a guy who has
his priorities in order.
Thirteen years ago, Joe worked for nowdefunct Exotic Dream Machines (builders
of custom, tube-chassis Countach replicas),
which gave him a great deal of sweatequity, hands-on experience, and insight
into the workings of kit cars, fiberglass
construction, and powertrains. It also turned
him into somewhat of an elitist when it
comes to kit cars—as you’ll discover later
in this piece—having literally seen the best
and worst of the business. As for having
his priorities in order, let’s just say Joe’s
home shop completely dwarfs his home
by a significant margin. He says that will
change when he converts his shop into his
living space and then builds an even bigger
workshop.
Joe always wanted to build a car for himself,
so several years ago he set aside his other
personal projects. He had seen enough bad
Lambo bodies (and had even acquired one)
to know he’d have to do his own thing and
virtually start from scratch, working from
his own designs. He scrapped the Countach
kit body and began massaging a collection
of various Lambo parts into something he
could work with. He also thought ahead
enough to make his own molds in the event
he would ever consider starting his own
business.
Next he located a donor vehicle, dragged
out the torch and the welder, and he was on
his way. But as everyone knows, when you
have to work for a living (Joe is a welder
who builds auto manufacturing–related
heavy equipment), projects such as this
take a lot of time. He began the chassis
for the car you see here in 1994 and the
completed car made its debut at the Club
Sandwich show in Laughlin, Nevada, in
October 2000.
12 The Insider Magazine Sept/Oct 2007
As fate would have
it, about three years
ago Dave Swinney
unexpectedly showed
up at Joe Martin’s shop
door with a handful of
parts and inquired,
“Can you build me a
car?” Dave wanted a
Countach. For years
he had dreamed
about prowling the
streets in a Lambo kit
car. Though he had
owned several Corvettes, he was looking
for something more exotic to satisfy his
desire. Joe certainly had the knowledge,
the experience, and a fairly good start
on the foundation of a solid car. A deal
was struck and Joe turned his project into
Dave’s project, going back to the drawing
board for some more refinement. The short
story is that a good working relationship
developed, and a spectacular, show-winning
street machine emerged as a result.
“The first thing was to design enough
cockpit room into the car so the average-totall person would be able to get in and drive
it,” Joe says. “After slightly raising the roof
in the front to allow for adequate headroom,
I had to find a donor windshield to fill up
that big hole.” A cut-down windshield from
a Ford Aerostar turned out to be the correct
fit. The side and back windows are custom-
made using tempered glass.
The body is a hand-laid fiberglass structure,
with Coremat added for additional strength.
Once the body was mounted on the frame,
remote-door actuation switches were
installed and the highly modified wing was
mounted.
Next, Joe checked the body measurements.
The tubular frame was modified slightly
to accommodate some of the changes. It’s
a Martin-designed steel space frame with
the actual construction employing varioussized rectangular and square tubing. This
chassis is designed to accommodate many
of the Fiero donor-car components as well
as aftermarket gear.
“I really like this design,” Joe tells us. “The
long, low nose and the slipstream design of
Cars
the car make it look like it’s moving even
when it’s parked.”
Joe and Dave both wanted a smooth ride
with responsive handling, so Joe used
modified Fiero components for the front
and rear suspension. The front employs
Aldan coilover shocks, while the Fiero
rear struts are modified for coilover
springs. This setup allows for adjustment
in ride height, spring rate, and damping
rates. Since approximately 80 percent of
the stopping is accomplished with front
brakes, custom hubs with 10-inch rotors
were installed. The rear brakes are stock
Fiero units. The wheels are Centerline
Champ 500s—15x8 up front and 15x10 in
the rear. The polished alloys are shod with
Yokohama AVS tires with 225/50 ZRs and
285/40 ZRs, respectively.
Wanting the car to be as fast as it looks, Joe
installed a 350ci small-block Chevy with
throttle-body fuel injection. The engine is
mated to a Fiero five-speed Getrag transaxle
using a combination of Zumalt axles and
custom-made components for strength.
The power transfer takes place through
a beefed-up clutch and adapter kit from
PISA. Custom headers were fabricated and
Flowmaster mufflers with dual Anza tips
create a mellow, satisfying sound.
The attention to detail is remarkable. Joe
spent numerous, painstaking hours making
sure every part of the vehicle fit as planned.
Once he was satisfied with the bodywork
and the fit, the paint was ordered. After
some deliberation, Joe and Dave decided
to use a three-stage custom orange mix by
House of Color. The effect is stunning, and
at different angles and different times of
the day, the paint takes on different
colors and gives the Lambo a
changing personality.
of his dreams, and Joe is—well—let’s just say
he’s considering another project for himself.
We’ll just have to wait and see if he’s able to
keep it.
For the interior, Dave selected
Dr. John’s Auto Trim in Denver,
Colorado. There, John Edwards
took special care in making sure the
installation of the headliner, carpet,
and leather equaled the workmanship
of the rest of the car.
Due to the sharp angles of the
doors, the windows only roll down
2 inches, so air conditioning is a
must. Looking at the size, the stock
Fiero unit was a natural fit in the car.
A set of Classic Instruments Elan
GT–series gauges keep track of the
engine’s vitals, while Alpine stereo
provides the cockpit entertainment.
This car is definitely not for a driver
who wants to assume a low profile.
Dave lives in St. Louis, and twice the
car has been mentioned on the radio
because an announcer happened to
see it on his way to work.
“All the money and hard work that
went into building this vehicle paid
off when, on its first time out, the car
won the President’s Choice award at
the Laughlin show,” Dave says.

Hopes & Dreams
This page will be dedicated to your hopes
and dreams for the future, whether still in
prison or out for good. They do not have to
be detailed or long drawn out explanations;
they can be as simple as “I want to open my
own business when I get out”, or “I will just
go home and be with my family”. You can
dream about what kind of car you want or
what you hope to accomplish, even if it’s
just something simple like “I’m going to sue
the State for all the bad things they did to
me” or “I want to go to a movie and eat a
really good steak.”
Be creative and send in your dreams. We
will print them along with your name on this
page each issue. Seeing your dreams in print
can help you accomplish them.

~:~ Life is Good!
I might as well get started by telling you
some of my hopes and dreams: First of all,
I earn my living by buying properties and
building houses on them, then selling them.
My dream is to buy a large piece of property,
at least seven acres, and develop it for a
manufactured home park with 25-30 spaces
that can be rented to owners of manufactured
homes. I would provide water, electric and
sewer hookups, but the renter would pay
the utilities. I would charge rent on the land.
When the land is paid off, I would retire on
the income.

you should send in, although this column

is not restricted to this kind of dream. You
can send in anything that can be printed
and still go inside prisons. I want to turn
this magazine back over to you guys...
Make it your own and participate in the
content. When we first started The Insider
Magazine, we invited everyone to send in
their articles, poetry, and artwork. Well, we
kinda got away from that in the past few
months, and I want to bring it back. This
magazine should be full of your stories and
experiences, uncut and unabashed, good,
bad, and ugly. It should be all about you,
not what I think or want to say. Please help
me out by sending in your stuff.
I would like to have a regular car column
featuring your cars.
I would like to have a regular motorcycle
page with your bike featured. (See pg. 2)
I would like to see more original poetry and
more original artwork submitted.
I would like you to share any known
resources for when you get out of prison.
Together we can make a great list of
agencies and other resources that will
benefit anyone getting out.
I would like to see similar resources for
lifers. What have you got? Let me know.
Next issue will begin a 12 part series on
how to start your own business when you
get out. The Insider Magazine University
(IMU) will show you how. We will cover
every aspect of starting a successful
business, including how to determine if
you will succeed. This could be a very
valuable tool in your future. Please refer

Mystery Solution:
THE DUBIOUS DENARIUS
“You’re right.” Denault suddenly
looked glum. “The coin is dated 42BC,
but as you say, Caesar was assassinated
two years earlier, in 44BC. The tough
old Romans wouldn’t have honored
him with a coin after he was dead. It
might have offended the new rulers of
Rome.”
“That’s a nice try,” said Stanwick. “But
although I don’t know much about Roman coins, I do happen to know that a
silver denarius honoring the late Julius
was indeed struck in 42BC.”
“Then why do you say my coin is a
fake?” Symes demanded. “You’ve
twice admitted you’re no expert on Roman coins.”
“I’m not,” said Stanwick. “But I know
a little logic. And logic shows that no
coin or document produced Before
Christ would show a BC date! The
maker couldn’t have used a system of
dating depending on – and therefore invented after – a future event. So coinmakers in 42BC couldn’t know at the
time the date would be called 42BC! It
would be like Edward III in 1337 saying ‘OK, you men of the Middle Ages,
come embark with me upon the Hundred Years War!’.”
An embarrassed silence filled the room
for a moment.
“Poor Elliott,” sighed Elena Symes at
last. “He knew real estate. But coins?
There the poor love was just a patzer!”

Litigation
REVIEW SOUGHT IN IRONS
Irons v. Carey
479F.3d658
See CZJV#14. p. 14. Both the Attorney
General (BPH) and the Federal Defender’s
office (representing Carl Irons) seek
review of the split decision. The AG,
still dissatisfied with the narrow “some
evidence” standard of review, alleges
that the Supreme Court has never ratified
it - despite Superintendent v. Hill and
continues to dispute the protected
liberty interest in parole established
in McQuillion and reaffirmed in Sassdespite the Supreme Court’s holdings in
Green-holtz and Alien. Irons seeks an en
bane decision ratifying Judge Reinhart’s
scathing Irons dissent.
The spoiled-brat attitude of the AG’s
office, which can’t quit while “ahead,”
may some day spell its downfall, perhaps
if Irons points out that the Supreme Court
held in Santosky v. Kramer, 455 U.S. 745
(1982) that the federal standard of review
of a state administrative agency decision
that materially affects fundamental
rights, is clear and convincing evidence
“when the individual interests at stake in
a state proceeding are both ‘particularly
important’ and ‘more substantial than
mere loss of money’” (citing Addington
v. Texas, 441 U.S. 418), e.g., when
the detriment constitutes “a significant
deprivation of liberty” or “stigma” or
when relief is required because the
petitioner would otherwise be “condemned
to suffer grievous loss.” (additional
citations).
On the other hand, Hill should apply
only to its facts - a hearing at which
disciplinary charges were based on a
confidential source causing the prisoner’s
due process right to be diminished
by a prison’s need for security and
confidentiality. Irons’ due process right
should not be reduced because neither
the parole determination process used by
BPH nor adjudication of his habeas claims
required disclosure of a confidential
source or involved a security concern.
18
The Insider Magazine Sept/Oct 2007
Importantly, the state courts that adopted
Hill’s standard to review BPH decisions
held that prisoners did not have a due
process liberty interest in parole. In
re Powell, 45 Cal.3d 894, 911 (1988).
Now that the contrary is established in
McQuillion, Sass, and Rosenkrantz,
shouldn’t due process require a finding
of something more than “some” or
“any” evidence in the record to protect
a vested liberty interest protected by the
Due Process Clause? Indeed, we know
of no other state whose parole statutes
provide a protected liberty interest in
parole, or any defined liberty interest
of any sort extinguishable by the mere
presence of any evidence whatsoever. To
the contrary, see Carrillo v. Fabian, 701
N.W. 2d 763 (2005)(Minnesota Supreme
Court); Davis v. Board of Parole and Postprison Supervision (2005) 200 Or.App.
366 (Oregon); Trantino v. New •Jersey
State Parole Board (2001) 764 A.2d 940
[“substantial evidence” required to support
parole decisions].
Although revisiting Irons is doubtful
(the Court resisted the temptation in Sass
- see CLN #14, p. 1), in this area of law,
as we’ve learned, anything’s possible.
In the meantime, although the Court in
Irons allowed the facts of his offense to
substantiate parole denial, it reaffirmed
Biggs and explained that in all three cases
- Biggs, Sass, and Irons, the petitioners
had not served what the Court called their
“minimum” prison terms, a caveat that
leaves the door ajar for most lifers who
have done so. See CLN# 14, p. 8.
CLN is published every 6-8 weeks (a
minimum of 6 issues per year) and
distributed to inmates and free subscribers
and attorneys, courts, and prison law
libraries.
CLN focuses on issues of importance,
particularly to “lifers” confined in
California, and reviews state and federal
court decisions, legislation (new bills
and proposed laws), and recent news and
articles of interest to prisoners.
CLN also provides research, photocopying,
and related paralegal assistance for
prisoners in all state and federal institutions,
including finding cases, case law and
materials on legal topics.
CLN also buys stamps from inmates to
be converted to money orders for trust
accounts, subscriptions, payment to family
members , or to purchase and send in
approved property and packages.

At least 95% of all State prisoners will
be released from prison at some point;
nearly 80% will be released to parole
supervision. Forty-five percent of
parole discharges in 2005 successfully
completed their term of supervision,
unchanged since 1995. Thirty-eight
percent were returned to jail or prison,
and 11% absconded. You don’t want to
be one of that 38%!!!
68% of State prison inmates did not
receive a high school diploma. About
26% of State prison inmates said they
had completed the GED while serving
time in a correctional facility. 82% of
prison inmates are functionally illiterate.
This means that they don’t have enough
reading and writing skills to write an
understandable letter or fill out a job
application correctly.
We want to change all that, a few people
at a time. That is why we began The
Insider University.
Anyone can be successful, but it takes
certain qualities. There are learned
behaviors and habits that make a
person successful. We at The Insider
Magazine will walk you through each
step of the way so that you can learn
these secrets and become successful
when you get out.
This is not an easy road to follow, but
it can be done by anyone if you have
the determination. You must have
the desire to succeed, and recognize
the pitfalls of your own mind. You
must change the way you think and
how you view others. When you are
done with this course, you will be a
completely different person who will
have the ability and knowledge to gain
financial success, if you will submit to
this new way of thinking and conform
to these techniques.
We want you to succeed, but success
will require close attention to every
detail in this course, and you will be
required to do homework and send
it in for review. You will be required
to work hard at this course and learn
through self analysis and critique from
our teachers and other students.
If you are willing to participate under
these conditions and endure to the
end of this two year course, then you
need to send your tuition of $20.00 (a
$795.00 value) along with the form on
page 22. You will receive the course
through The Insider Magazine over a
two year period. This could be the best
$20 you ever spend. Your future could
depend on the information contained
in this informative course.
Included in this course will be new
ways to think about yourself, how to
cope with stress, how to change your
behavior, how the rich behave towards
others, what makes them succeed, and
a detailed interactive section on how
to start your own business. If you
don’t want to be in business, you can
use the new learned skills to find a
better job. We will teach you how to
interact with people in the corporate world;
who to help, what to say and what not to
say. These skills will help you with your
personal relationships, too. Do you want
to find the perfect mate? You can use what
you learn here for that purpose, too.
You will receive a diploma upon completion
of the course. During the course you will

Insider University FAQ’s
What are we going to get out of this
program?
You will learn how to change your
thinking to achieve success. You will
develop a business plan that will show
you how to build a business and make
a profit. You will see what it takes to
survive in the corporate world.
What if I join the in the middle of the
course? How can I fit in?
If you join after the course is in progress,
you will receive all the back issues of
The Insider containing any course work
you may have missed. You will have to
read through this material and catch up
with the rest of the class on your own,
but you can write us with any questions
you may have and we will send you our
answers through the mail.
I already have a subscription. What
will happen to that?
Your current subscription will be
extended to cover the entire course. You
will not get duplicate issues.
What is the real reason for The Insider
Magazine to offer us this program?
Our goal has always been to reduce the
recidivism rate. It is a fact that educated
prisoners are less likely to return to
prison. We have been promoting literacy
through reading and writing already,
and now we want to introduce specific
information that will help you stay out of
prison and be successful on the outside.
The main reason we are offering this
opportunity is that we care.

Lies
by Thomas Anderson
Do you feel me?
My heart is beating inside your chest
My sweat is trickling down your breast
My footprint is imprinted in your sand
My thoughts is exploding inside your
memory glands
My tongue is tasting the very texture of
the wine you drink
I am the patient observer who watching
the delicate patterns of the way you think
My thoughts are the thoughts that racing
through out your mind
I’ve always been you since the beginning
of time
If only you would search for me, you
realize that I am not that hard to find
If you look inside yourself, you realize
that we are not one of a kind
You would see that there no future without
us in it
We are the very cosmos, galaxies, stars
and time infinite
Do you feel me?
If you will quiet the monkey chatter of
your mind, then you will hear
If you learn to feel me, you will never
know fear
You would know!
Our being is trhe vast part of all that exist
since the beginning of timewhen darkness
was all
Light that penetrate the darknesswhen they
heard our call,
And the very cosmo gave way to the
creative process that we enjoy
Know me. Discover me.

They told us that they was American
Patriots as they look the American public
in their eyes
They promise to protect the American
Public from the terrorist attacks, but it
turns out to be lies
They deceive us during the election
process, that they have the solution
But we know they faking terror alert, so
they can rewrite the amendments of the
Constitution
Homeland Security was design to take
away your individual rights
All it take is terror alert and it will take 3
½ hours to board your airline flight
Americans use to enjoy liberties that make
other countries jealous
We are slowly becoming a heavily police
nation, thanks to the greed of a couple of
oil rich fellas
The politician who lies, beat the podium
and preach about how much the American
Public need him
But as long as they stay elected, we can
forget about enjoying the true aspect of
freedom
They clasp their hand in prayer as they
hypocritically look upward to the sky
But Hell has no fury as a scorn politician
who has no conscious when he is about to
lie.
Lies.
TIME
By Daniel W. Carroll
Seconds, minutes and hours,
Twenty four in each day.
Do we take them as ours
To waste them all away?
Each Morning we happen to wake,
Should we stop and give thanks.
Our time here isn’t a mistake.
We all struggle to survive,
Each in our very own way.
Our needs are all the same,
What we want and how we pay.
Inside us are these voices;
It’s up to us what s real.
We make our own choices,
What we think and how we feel.
What’s most important to us,
Who’s affected by what we say.
Are we thinking things through,
Or makeing decisions along the way?
Are we sure of what we want?
Maybe what sounds good at the time.
Do we worry about who’s in front,
Or who we’ve left behind?
Life is an interesting journey,
Full of bumps and curves.
Are we wasting it on worries?
We get what we deserve.
Time is a very special thing
To all born into this world.
We can’t see it or feel it.
How we use it makes it a gift.

colors has to be there. Changing a white top to a dark color (or black color to a light color) is the hardest because
there isn’t any color pigment to work with. In that case we would choose the best and the closest color for the
photo.
• What if I didn’t send enough money to cover what I wanted to have done? (wrong calculation) - Due to the over
whelming requests for these services, we have the right to refuse the service until additional funding is provided.
To make it simple - always send more and we will post the remaining funding on your account for future services.
This is the only and the best way to ensure what you want done will be accomplished in a timely manner.
• How does cloning work? - We have to pick up similiar samples to use to perform the cloning procedures. If your
photo is missing an arm after removing someone out of a photo - we need to have a picture of your other arm for a
skin sample for us to perform the cloning procedure.
• What if my institution only allows 5 reprints (or 10 reprints) per envelope and I have 16 wallets along with the
original? - Please let us know when you place the order and please add a $1.00 for each aditional envelope
required to mail out your reprints. You can also choose not to cut the reprints and have them sent back in a sheet
format without adding any funds for extra shipping & handling. (Each order includes 1 paid postage envelope)
• Do I get my original photo(s) or artwork back after the reprints are made? - Of course, your original will be mailed
back to you along with your reprints. Please provide a self-addressed stamped-envelope for the return of
your artwork.
• Do I need an order form to place an order? - No, we prefer you use a piece of plain white paper and list all
procedures in detail for us when you place an order. Please print clearly.
• Do you accept stamps as payment? - We accept a time and a half in stamp value ($7.50) for an order value of
$5.00. If you choose to use stamps, send first class 41 cents stamps as payment.
Please make sure the procedures are allowed by your institution’s security guidelines before
placing the order(s) for photo alteration services - We’ll not be held responsible for the violation.
Please make sure your institution allows 4 pieces of paper (printed on both sides) held together
by staples before placing an order for our color catalog. We can remove staples when requested.
Please send institution check or money order (no personal checks) along with order(s) to
