The Cry Of The Innocent
Why Am I Here?
By: Peggie Perry

This has to stop, putting people in prison for sex crimes that never happened. It’s ruining too many lives. Someone has to do something. My life has been destroyed and the sad thing is I’m not the only one this has been done to.

I know how awful it is for an innocent man to be in prison. In my case I am the victim, yet I am a dot on the sex offenders map. I have spent time here in this prison, a place that tries to suck not only the life out of you but also the soul.

Every day I fight the desire to give up and just become a part of the prison, but I won’t let myself because I don’t belong here. I have not committed any crime. I believe I was put here not by mistake, but by intention. I have yet to find the answer to why. In many sleepless nights here in this locked cell, far from home, I have searched for the answer.
