POPSCosta Rica elects first woman President Even Costa Ricans on the margins of society backed Chinchilla. Heizel Arias, a 24-year-old single mother voted at a prison where she is serving an eight-year drug smuggling sentence. "I voted for Laura Chinchilla because she has promised to fight for women," Arias said. "She was the only one who visited us and told us her plans and I believe in her." Arias protege means that she is in some way related to the same families that have ruled Costa Rica for centuries. The neglect of the Talamanca coast continues ...

POPSanabolic steroids So, Dan should know he might have legal problems if he’s caught carrying anabolic steroids without a valid prescription in the US. It looks like a simple first time possession conviction is punishable up to one year in prison.

POPS34 years imprisoned - Reason? Being Strong Even if he was guilty, if he had not been a strong Native American, he'd have been out of prison by now. As it happens, he is more than likely innocent of the crime he was charged with - but government at the time wanted a fall guy and to send American Indian Movement a message. And now, as is usually the case, the government and those retired from government hate saying they did something wrong and making it right.

POPS Trouble from a Pencil What you're looking at is real and deadly. My 11th grade grandson told me about this man's books and I had to see it for myself. Forget the metal detectors at the High School doors, this little baby is quite literally "Death on a Stick", and made from only the finest of school supplies. I recently viewed a segment of "Myth Busters" where they made a paper maché crossbow to see if a prison death may have been committed by a certain individual and there were varied results. This little doosey may just have done the trick. However I don't know the true firing range of the projectile, it could, as Mom used to say "...can put your eye out with that thing"!

POPS"In the Clutches of the American Monster."
A QUOTE: "From here we start our struggle to get our sister released from the clutches of the American monster." is how this article ends, referring to the guilty verdict for a Pakistan scientist, mother of three. As we now know (right?) people are held in U.S. secret prisons for years and years, without trials, tortured, and murdered (one murder conviction thus far, for beating a general to death). Aafia Siddiqui, according to many reports, was one of those victims, held for years in jail, a secret prison, tortured and raped. After escape she was hunted down, arrested by Afghan authorities, and when U.S. troops showed up to take her away she grabbed a gun from one of the guards and shot them down. TYPICALLY, we haven't heard much about this trial: evidence, Q&A, what she said when she was on the witness stand --- but we get a lot of commentary about it. Humm...We're suppose to believe she was also plotting to blow up the Statue of Liberty. But we've managed to do th

POPSNo Chance of Parole for Victims! Murder victims will never have the opportunity to grow old and gray. Why should we even consider that their killers should go free? Parole boards re-victimize the victims time and time again.

POPSThis is what the terrorists did to me -- and why they should be tried at Gitmo Louis Pepe was a federal prison guard at Manhattan's MCC when he was ambushed and blinded by two terrorism suspects, later linked to Osama bin Laden. "It went three inches into my brain. These people want to kill and go to Allah and have 10 girls. That's just the way they are." "They want to become martyrs. They want jihad. They want to kill people. And that's all they want." Hey, here's an idea: let's throw water on their faces, lock them in a cell with a caterpillar, and make them promise never to stab you in the eye and lodge a comb in your brain. And maybe if we ask nicely and say "pretty please," they'll oblige.

POPS4 Arrested in Phone Tampering at Landrieu Office Buchanan's response, and the O'Keefe's earlier embrace by Republican lawmakers illustrates a disturbing and dangerous trend by the right-- the use and defense of blatant lawlessness as a means to a political ends. As of yet those 31 Republicans have yet condemn this crime or pull their support for their resolution lauding O'Keefe. This is simply unacceptable, unless of course they stand by those kinds of actions and in fact endorse this kind of behavior. Let's find out for sure. Sign the Care2 petition and demand they withdraw their support for their resolution and condemn the crimes in no uncertain terms. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/205508789
