Turkeys originated in North and Central America, and evidence indicates that they have been around for over 10 million years. In Mexico, the turkey was considered a sacrificial bird. Domesticated turkeys (farm raised) cannot fly. Wild turkeys can fly for short distances at up to 55 miles per hour. Wild turkeys are also fast on the ground, running at speeds of up to 25 miles per hour. The heaviest turkey ever raised weighed in at 86 pounds about the size of a large German shepherd and was grown in England. Mature turkeys have 3,500 or so feathers. The Apache Indians con- sidered the turkey timid and wouldn't eat it or use its feathers on their arrows. More than 45 million turkeys are cooked a

Starting around your 40s, your metabolism slows more and more rapidly with age. That's because losing muscle mass is a natural part of aging. The more muscle mass you have, the faster your metabolism. With so many 50-and-over Americans falling victim to heart disease and diabetes, counteracting a slowing metabolism is important to potentially help prevent weight gain and resulting illness. To build muscle mass despite the effects of aging, stick to a serious exercise plan and optimize your diet for muscle gain. Never begin any new diet or exercise regimen without first consulting your doctor. Exercise Plan: The American College of Sports Medicine recom- mends people over 50 strength-train al
By Christopher Zoukis Inmates incarcerated within the Federal Bureau of Prisons are housed in communal living settings. These "housing units" consist of either a number of cells or a dormitory. Generally speaking, dorms are utilized at lower security institutions (e.g., fed- eral prison camps and low security federal pris- ons), while cells are utilized at higher security insti- tutions (e.g., medium security federal prisons, fed- eral penitentiaries, and Special Housing Units). Some institutions have both types of housing in different areas of the prison. Dormitories Most inmates in lower security facilities are housed in a dorm setting. Therein, the housing unit consists of a large room wi
By Joshua Kruger When it comes to investing and making money, prisoners need positive money mentors that can give us the keys to success. Who better to do that than one of the richest men in the world, Warren Buffet. The “Oracle of Omaha” has built a huge fortune with simple strate- gies that we can utilize in our own life. I found a couple of his money rules that are useful for this article. They are: “Rule Number 1: Never lose money. Rule Number 2: Don’t forget rule number one.” Pretty simple, huh? But, these “rules” are hardly practiced, though. In my grade school, they had a “lost and found” box. If you lost a coat, book bag or some personal item, you could check the lost and found box t

By Josh Kruger As a lifer who continues to fight the system with current ongoing ap- peals, I have fifteen or more years of in court experience some of it as a pro se prisoner. But as many prisoners will tell you, the easiest place you can get cheated is by the law. Heck, most of us got robbed by our ineffective lawyers. Some of you may wind up in federal court sooner or later dealing with a habeas corpus petition. Since it is bet- ter to be prepared now, I am taking a sidetrack from my normal top- ics to help you because nothing is more important than your freedom. (FYI: I am still at the state court level and have not yet filed a federal habeas petition although, that is my next step if I
By Christopher Zoukis Before coming to prison I had never used a type- writer. I had seen them in movies, on TV, even my Dad's office had one for filling out forms, but I had never used one. This is because I'm 26 years old and for the past 15 to 20 years word processors have ruled the data processing field. Sadly, this is not the case in America's prisons.Here at FCI Petersburg, a medium security federal prison in Petersburg, Virginia which has an inmate population of 1,835 inmates, there are a total of 9 typewriters, 3 of which are signif- icantly in need of repair or replacement. In order to operate any of the 6 fully-operable typewriters, an inmate must purchase required supplies. This a
Would it surprise you to learn that many of us do not get the Recommended Daily Al- lowance (RDA) of vitamins and minerals necessary from our foods, even if we are consuming the suggested daily servings of fruits and vegetables? Due to current farm- ing practices, mass food production, pro- cessing, and cooking, our foods are less nutrient dense than they were in previous years. In fact, The U.S. Department of Agri- culture says that it takes seven cups of today’s spinach to equal the nutrition that a single cup provided in 1960. Vitamins and minerals help maintain cellular efficiency by activating enzyme systems that are essential to cellular function. Phyto- nutrients which are found in va

By Christopher Zoukis As most prisoners' families already know, there aren't many comforts from home that you can send to an incarcerated loved one. This is largely due to onerous correspondence restrictions that are in place in virtually every jail and prison in the country. Gone are the days of care packages, clothes packages, Christmas packages from home and even some publications due to them featuring nudity or other adult or violent content. While many items are prohibited in American jails and prisons, some are still allowed. And it is these items that can make a stay in the slammer that much more bearable and less toxic. This article presents the five top items that you can send you
