An example of what happens when prisons become overcrowded took place in Trenton, New Jersey in 1952. The small prison was made up of "sexual psychopaths, passive homosexuals, aggressive 'wolves' with long records of fights and stabbings, escape artists, agitators and incorrigibles of all ages" (Blackwell). While Trenton’s overcrowding was minimal compared to today’s standards, there was 1,312 inmates in a facility designed to hold 1,190. The cells were old and rundown, barely lit, and infested with rats that were fed better than the inmates (Blackwell). The prison began hiring tougher, more rugged correction officers to combat the rowdy inmates. The inhumane treatment of the inmates contributed to an unstable and volatile emotional state among the inmates. Around midnight on March 29, 1952, the inmates began to tear apart their cots, using the metal legs to pry open their cell doors. The inmates “chased their guards out of the wing, barricaded the entrance and wrecked everything they could lay their hands on. They smashed cell toilets, shredded beds, broke windows and set fires” (Blackwell). The guards broke the will of the inmates after 46 hours by using tear gas and water hoses. Two weeks later, a group

The Bureau of Prisons carefully lists the inmate’s health care rights and the inmate’s responsibilities in order have access those rights. In the Federal Correction Institution at Terminal Island, California the Inmate Information Handbook lists out the specific rights to health care access each inmate has and then the handbook lists the inmate’s responsibility to be able to access the health care. An example is the inmate has the right to access all services on Terminal Island including medical, dental, and all support services but the

The article “The Island in the Wind” written by Elizabeth Kolbert shows that an island can generate clean electricity for its entire population, and hopes the world can too. On the Danish island of Samso lives a population of people who have learned the importance of their environment. In a decade they have switched from being an entirely coal and fossil fuel run island, to producing all of their energy from wind on their own island. Not only are they producing all of their energy yet they are yielding so much that they can export energy to other areas. “ By 2001, fossil-fuel use on Samso had been cut in half. By 2003, instead of importing electricity, the island was exporting it, and by 2005 it was producing from renewable sources more energy

These examples show both the author’s and the protagonist’s challenge to the order of things and the complete belief the character has. The best example of this is on line eight when the king says that he ‘shall not give you the boat’ the man replies ‘with calm assurance’ ‘you will’.

It’s notorious, it's a place of pain and sorrow. This place is called Rikers Island. Rikers is a large penal complex that imprisons nonviolent and violent criminals.

New York City’s Rikers Island has been called on of the worst prisons in the country. Throughout its history, it has been filled with multiple human rights issues that deal with abuse, sexual assaults, lack of officer involvement and control, and general human right violations. The prison was opened in 1932, as a 413-acre complex on the East River. Notable prisoners were David Berkowitz, “Son of Sam,” who was convicted of eight fatal shootings that took place in the summer of 1976, Tupac Shakur a rapper, Sex Pistols musician Sid Vicious who murdered his girlfriend, and Mark David Chapman, convicted in the murder of the Beatles' John Lennon. The prison was named one of the ten worst prisons by Mother Jones magazine in 2013, and has continued to have many civil right infractions.

The 16 dogs in this unit are used for different purposes. They have Patrol dogs and sniffer dogs.

Each dog is bred and used for their unique specialities, for example, they use a Labrador to sniff for explosives because they have a very good sense of smell. It is important that the

What’s more, is that it seems as though the Islands are intentionally, by the author, kept serene and sacred, so to speak. At a point Rodya intends to bury that which he has stolen from Alyona under a bush somewhere on the Islands, because they are far away from people, and he feels that no one will ever find his goods there. He never makes it to his destination, however; as the book describes it, “he was not destined to get to the Islands” (108). On his way there, he finds a hiding place that he deems suitable, and hides his stolen treasures there. It is as though some outer force is ensuring that the Islands remain a place of stability and rationality- the complete opposite of the taverns.

Law Enforcement Officers, Firefighters, EMS personnel and other first responders serving in the United States of America face many daily challenges and concerns regarding their safety and well-being while performing their assigned duties. In the past two decades first responders in the U.S. have increasingly been subjected to threats and incidents of terrorism.
