POPSSan Quentin's Paradox: 360 Inmates in 1 Cell Nobody deserves to live this way: Within 10 years, California's prison population has doubled. Now all of California's prisons are at twice or three times their capacity. 360 inmates live in the gym because there's no room anywhere else. For anyone to say this is not a frightening type of experience is wrong. 70% of California's inmates return to prison within 3 years, mostly for parole violations. To someone outside the system, parole may seem easy: Show up to appointments, don't drive on a suspended license, tell your parole officer if you move, don't do drugs. Parole can be tricky: Their lives are chaos with little education, few life skills and usually nowhere to live. Parole violations are expensive. California will cut back the education budget to supplement the $8 billion prison budget. To prevent parole violations inmates need counseling, job skills and drug treatment programs - now there isn't any money or room.

POPSHyped up drug studies If you read the full article, some of the methods they use to make drugs look good are shocking. For example, if a drug doesn't reduce deaths from strokes, but does reduce the incidence of disability in survivors, they add the two numbers together in one column and claim that the drug reduces "death and disability" (meaning "death + disability," but people assume it means that the likelihood of death is reduced, too).

POPSSniffer Dogs To Wear ‘Muslim’ Bootees
Where Muslims object, officers will be obliged to use sniffer dogs only in exceptional cases. Where dogs are used, they will have to wear bootees with rubber soles. “We are trying to ensure that police forces are aware of sensitivities that people can have with the dogs to make sure they are not going against any religious or cultural element within people’s homes. It is being addressed and forces are working towards doing it,” Acpo (Association of Chief Police Officers) said. John Midgley, co-founder of the Campaign Against Political Correctness, said: “The police are in effect being overly sensitive to potential criminals and not being sensitive enough to the public at large who need to be protected. These sort of things have a counter-productive effect because they cause huge friction between different communities.” Caroline Kisko, of the Kennel Club, said: “We would not condone any attempt to make search dogs wear special clothing, which could cause them distress.”

POPSA Really Long Strange Trip Despite the long-held promise that such substances might reveal the secrets of the conscious mind, the study of hallucinogenic compounds has always been controversial. Once a thriving area of research, projects like these ground to a halt in the late 1960s when a media frenzy over rampant recreational use led the federal government to criminalize both psilocybin and LSD.
