This is my hidden beat, one that even the most intrepid of journalists cannot enter.

Yet, it is my beat.

And I intend to do this job with the same thoroughness, the same professionalism, as I did in days of yon.

For, though this is a hidden world, one not seen by millions, it is, too, a public world, for it is bought and paid for with the tax dollars of the citizenry.

Shouldn’t they know what their investments have purchased?

Several times a month, in written form, or otherwise (as in books of commentaries) I offer this service, to the best of my ability.

I fight against being here, but I am here. And while here, the beat goes on.

Mumia Abu-Jamal wrote this article for Reporters Without Borders on May 23 from his prison cell on death row in Pennsylvania.
