POPSBarack "Houdini" Obama Promises were broken with no apology, the same creative legalese that infested the Bush administration, in the form of John Yoo and Alberto Gonzalez, was again used to deny justice to the inmates of Guantanamo, It was used to justify more torture, more destruction of the Constitution and more illegal surveillance of U.S. citizens

POPSShould Inmates Pay Rent ? "If the court determines that sheriffs have the authority " as part of their duties and responsibilities " to institute fees, there are millions of dollars in savings to the taxpayers as a result of inmates paying a very small portion of their fees and services," Assad said. Walker said the majority of inmates are indigent, so the money in their canteen accounts is sent to them by family members so they can buy basic items that are not supplied by the jails.To deduct money from those accounts is like placing an unlawful tax on prisoners' families, she said

POPSThe terrorists at Club Gitmo don't want to leave Obvious. What else more could they want? They have personal chefs, TVs, remote controls, beach volleyball, a library overlooking the ocean, scenic views, free laundry service, new prayer rugs to pray to Allah.....and they're getting the H1N1 vaccine before you. The libs want them out of Cuban Clown College as long as they're nowhere near their Manhattan penthouses or vacation spots in the Vineyard. As if splashing water on their damn faces is going to scare them off.....PUH-LEASE. Gitmo should be rebranded so that liberals wouldn’t reflexively scream “TORTURE!” every time they heard it’s name. How about "Misfired Martyrs Motel" or "Viva la Incarceracion!"?

POPSWeblog Disclaimer Heretofore and unto now, a blogger hosted weblog has had to rely exclusively on the blanket disclaimer provided for the corporate body of blog*spot addresses. While this kind of disclaimer is usually sufficient to protect a blogger from liability, it falls short when dealing with inherently offensive content, websites with a mind of their own and authors who are excessively paranoid about being dragged into court. With the above firmly borne in mind, we propose this weblog disclaimer.

POPSSouth Carolina pardons black brothers convicted of 1913 killing Police initially focused on Mrs Davis and her husband Bart, who were arrested with packed suitcases which included a bloodied pair of trousers. But investigators' attention shifted when Mr Lewis's stolen pistol was traced to John "Monk" Stevenson, a small-time criminal who said he had been given the gun by Bart Davis's brother. He claimed he was only a lookout when Lewis was killed. However, in a plea deal that spared his life, Stevenson – who was also black – changed his story and named the Griffin brothers as the killers and testified against them. According to sworn statements from fellow inmates, Stevenson admitted in jail that the men he implicated knew nothing of the crime. He said that the Griffins "could afford a lawyer and beat the rap". The brothers were the owners of a 138-acre farm, making them probably the wealthiest blacks in the area. All of the land was sold to pay their legal fees and court costs.

POPSSympathy for Death Row Inmates !!!!! Not by me Some will disagree with me but why should we care if injections were blotched and took 2 hours. I feel as much sympathy for killers as they had while they were killing their victims. As a matter of fact i think the longer they suffer the better !

POPSLife In Prison For Judge Accused Of Spanking and Sexual Abuse Of Inmates?
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, a leading civil rights group, has defended Thomas and claims race is behind his prosecution. Thomas and his attorney blame the charges on politicians who don't like him. ‘There is no doubt that people assisted these inmates in telling these lies on me,’ Thomas said in April. In an echo of sex allegations made against black Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas, Thomas's lawyer called the indictment ‘a high-tech lynching’. ‘They don't like uppity black folks, and that's what they consider Herman,’ Clark added. Chief Assistant District Attorney Nicki Patterson said authorities began looking at Thomas after he changed a jail sentence in 2006 for his cousin, former Mobile County school commissioner David Thomas, even though the case was being handled by another judge. Other cases that Thomas had taken over from other judges without their approval soon surfaced , she said.

POPSJudge Herman Thomas Indicted on Inmate Sex Charges, Lawyer Pulls Race Card "This is racism at its very finest." Let me get this straight. The former judge has been accused of some serious charges and the best his attorney could do was get in the mud and scream racism? The Alabama State Bar said its disciplinary commission suspended Thomas' law license Monday. One of the inmates, according to the newspaper, went before Thomas on multiple occasions and faced several felony charges. He was sent to prison for a short time, but Thomas ordered him released early, according to the Press-Register. He was sentenced in federal court and later released and has since been accused of murder and attempted murder. During Thomas' judgeship, he had a storage room furnished like an office near his eighth-floor chamber at Mobile's Government Plaza, the Press-Register said.

POPSParboiling American Prisoners I'm not really surprised at how we treat foreign detainees, especially when one looks at how we treat our home folks. Seems like anytime we get someone in a position where they must totally rely on our sense of fairness and mercy, we treat them with neither. I'm starting to feel like I belong to a nation of bullies.

POPSJail Inmates Help Run County's Animal Shelter The inmates clean cages and care for the animals. They come in close contact with the public, but so far it hasn't been a problem. There are plenty of security measures in place, including cameras that watch over inmates at all times."I don't think it's a concern. We do have our correction officers here," Radebaugh said.At least two officers are present when the inmates are working. There are six to eight inmates at the shelter at a time.Curtis has enjoyed the couple of weeks he's spent at the shelter and the little bit of freedom that has come with it."It makes it go a little bit faster because you are out," he said."They'll come out and be productive members of society," Radebaugh said.Meanwhile, they're helping a county department during a sluggish economy.

POPSThe Fluoride Deception: Teeth, Aluminium, Lies and Profit. In this video, award-winning journalist Christopher Bryson examines one of the great secret narratives of the industrial era; how a grim and highly toxic by product of the Aluminium Industry, and one of the most damaging environmental pollutants ever was added to our drinking water and toothpaste. One of its earliest uses was by the Nazi's in the concentration camps, because of the way it dumbed down inmates, like a kind of chemical kosh, it was only after prolonged use that they discovered it had much nastier but equally as useful effects.

POPSPalin's Poison It’s bad enough that a supposedly intelligent adult can find a way to actually believe that our federal government would call for the death of American citizens in order to save money for health care, but for an elected official, representing and entire state to think this way is just over the top. This kind of thinking goes against any chance of rational debate. And then there’s Newt Gingrich actually defending Palin’s remarks in public, and apparently without shame. No wonder the general view of our political system is one of the inmates running the asylum.
