On the side of my blog you will now see a “blogroll”. This contains many differnt links but why is it there?
A blogroll is used to give points of reference outside of my blog. My blogroll will give you many different links and reports on prisons and what they are saying about current topics. In my blogroll you will also find different blogs that relate to issues about prison reform, women in prisons, education in the prison system and much more.
Blog examples on Blogroll:
Prison Fellowship
This blog about prisons is relevant because it shows many different sides of prison life. Throughout the blog posts I viewed thus far it shows a reflection about 9/11 addresses current issues such as higher education in prisons. This blog also talks about reform and what needs to change in the prison system.
Federal Prison Blog
Todd Busset addresses current topics that are timely. He addresses the first step act, different areas and their federal prisons. Most importantly he addresses the money side of things and where its all going. I like the way he links and how relevant his content is.
Leigh Sprauge
This is relevant to my blog because it is the inside edition of prison life. This blog brings the personal aspect of life. It shows what prison life is like during the experience and what really happens behind bars to a certain extent.
Blogging Behind Bars
Brings to life the same aspect as the link above just in a different point of view. Having two different prison experiences I think will be useful to look back on.
Prison Professors
I used this blog as a reference because of content. The way my blog is set up is quite similar to this. The content always talks about relevant topics such as the post about the first step act and addresses trump and his decision to pass this. I can use what Shon is blogging about and be able to relate these topics to my blog.
Twitter Examples on Blogroll:
Below is an example of a podcast that is about people directly impacted by the prison system. There is also timely issues that are included about prison system all throughout America.
The Intimate Blogger shows the hardships of prison and the lifestyle that they endure. I think this can be something that i use these blogs to relate to current topics that are going on within the country and relate them to prison life.
The Prison Fellowship advocacy program gives it all away in title. This has links to women’s issues in prison as well as addressed social media use and higher education. All which are topics I want to address.
A local reporter, Lacie Pierson, from the Charleston Gazette. She reports on the courtroom and legal affairs which will be timely and relevant.
Prison Watch It, this can be used to follow new prison facility being built and keeping tabs on people being released. I think this twitter will be useful because it addresses not only issues inside the prison but what happens to inmates after.
Maya talks about how prisons could do better. She writes her own pieces and connects them with real world issues going on within the prisons.
