Barrett, declining to detail legal views, says she will not be ‘a pawn’ of Trump
Barrett was most eager to discuss her legal philosophy on broad strokes. She expounded at length on the tenets of textualism and originalism, approaches made popular by Scalia that privilege plain reading of legal texts and seek to minimize a judge’s own interpretations of statute or the Constitution.
“Judges cannot just wake up one day and say, ‘I have an agenda — I like guns, I hate guns, I like abortion, I hate abortion,’ and walk in like a royal queen and impose their will on the world,” she said....
“One of the upsides of being an academic is you can speak for yourself,” she told Klobuchar. “It’s difficult for me to say how I would have decided that case if I had to go through the whole process of judiciary decision-making.”...
Besides, she told Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, the panel’s top Democrat, the legal question now before the court — whether the entire law must be struck down because one part of it has been deemed flawed, or whether the flawed part is “severable” from the rest — poses a different question....
“I have no agenda to try and overrule Casey,” she said, referring to another abortion rights case. “I have an agenda to stick to the rule of law and decide cases as they come.”... “I would suggest that we not pretend that we don’t know how this nominee views a woman’s right to choose and to make her own health care decisions,” said Sen.

Pence took lead as Trump initially resisted sending National Guard to Capitol
https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/06/politics/pence-national-guard/index.html
Vice President Mike Pence, not President Donald Trump, helped facilitate the decision to mobilize members of the DC National Guard Wednesday when violence at the US Capitol building started to escalate,...Asked by Fox News about reporting that Pence, not the President, approved the activation, McCarthy demurred, but ultimately said: "I know the vice president has been in constant contact with us and also along with security inside the Capitol, I communicated with the vice president early on. It was in regards to getting the National Guard there. He said he will call right now."
The comments appeared to conflict with what White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said in a tweet hours earlier, when she asserted that Trump "directed" the National Guard to respond to the situation.
Pence spoke with defense secretary and top general
Miller also confirmed that he and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley, spoke with Pence, not Trump, on Wednesday afternoon. He also said he was in contact with top congressional lawmakers.
"Chairman Milley and I just spoke separately with the Vice President and with Speaker Pelosi, Leader McConnell, Senator Schumer and Representative Hoyer about the situation at the U.S. Capitol. We have fully activated the D.C. National Guard to assist federal and local law enforcement as they work to peacefully address the situation," he said in a statement....
'A little bit of confusion'
In a statement Wednesday evening, chief Pentagon spokesperson Jonathan Hoffman said that earlier in the week, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser "requested approximately 340 D.C. National Guardsmen to assist D.C. police in preparation for possible protests today."
"That request was approved. Today, the mayor requested the full activation of the D.C. Guard to support local and federal law enforcement as they respond to the situation at the Capitol. That request was approved. There have been no other requests from the D.C. government," he said.
Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy acknowledged there was a "little bit of confusion" with regard to the additional request.
"But as we worked through it, we ultimately made the determination about a half hour later to mobilize the entire DC National Guard. So, this has been incredibly fluid. But I have to go through the Secretary of Defense ultimately to get the final approval to mobilize personnel as well as to conduct operations in cooperation, in coordination with local authorities," he said....
Insurrection Act of 1807
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insurrection_Act_of_1807
The Insurrection Act of 1807 is a United States federal law[1] that empowers the President of the United States to deploy U.S. military and federalized National Guard troops within the United States in particular circumstances, such as to suppress civil disorder, insurrection, or rebellion....
In 1861, a new section was added allowing the federal government to use the National Guard and armed forces against the will of the state government in the case of "rebellion against the authority of the government of the United States,"... In 1871, the Third Enforcement Act revised this section (§ 253) to protect Black Americans from attacks by the Ku Klux Klan. The language added at that time allows the federal government to use the act to enforce the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution....
The National Guard has been called out in Washington, D.C. Here’s what you need to know.
1. Trump will not personally command the D.C. National Guard: Control of the National Guard operates differently in the District of Columbia than in the 50 U.S. states. Because of the capital’s unique status, the president serves as commander in chief of the D.C. National Guard. In practice, however, command authority has been delegated through the Secretary of Defense to the civilian Secretary of the Army for the Army National Guard and the Secretary of the Air Force for the Air National Guard. Upon request, other states — like Virginia — can augment the D.C. guard.
Since these personnel likely will fall under local control, the Posse Comitatus Act, which prevents the president from using active-duty troops to enforce domestic law, will not apply....attempts to use the National Guard for partisan purposes would be highly controversial, drawing criticism as well as resistance from uniformed military leaders....
2. The U.S. military will not follow illegal orders: orders will not work unless uniformed officers obey them. In August, the most senior military officer in the United States, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, testified that the military would reject unlawful orders...
3. Still, there are risks: National Guard personnel are also not necessarily familiar with local laws. As a result, they could be more likely to violate citizens’ rights or find themselves in situations where they have a hard time knowing whether an order is lawful or not....

Military struggles to answer how many extremists are in ranks
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin faces an early test as he races to advance a major initiative targeting far-right extremism in the ranks,...the former four-star general, who last month became the nation’s first African American Pentagon chief. The Jan. 6 events at the Capitol, in which Trump supporters stormed Congress in an attempt to prevent President Biden from taking office, laid bare the appeal of white supremacist and anti-government groups among some veterans and, in smaller numbers, currently serving troops. Among the 190 people charged in the siege, at least 30 are veterans. Three are reservists or National Guard members.
The involvement of individuals with military links follows several incidents in which troops have espoused support for racist or extremist movements on social media or to their peers. The military’s planned stand-down comes as part of a larger Pentagon effort to reckon with its troubled history of racial discrimination, sexual assault, and other internal scourges that officials say harm troops, threaten military values, and damage recruitment and retention....
"We don’t know the full breadth and depth of this," Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told reporters this month. "It may be more than we’re comfortable feeling and admitting, and probably a lot less than the media attention surrounding it seems to suggest it could be. But where is it? It’s just not clear."..."What you want is for people who are trained with safeguarding the population in some capacity, who have military weapons training, to be better than the rest of the country at resisting, at not being susceptible, to propaganda, to ideological radicalization,"...
One reason for the military’s limited understanding of the problem is that current rules permit troops to join extremist organizations, so long as they don’t become "active" members who fundraise, recruit or take part in other prohibited activities. While the distinction is rooted in troops’ First Amendment rights, it means supporters of extremist causes can go undetected....

New York’s attorney general joins criminal inquiry into Trump Organization
Donald Trump and his family came under increasing pressure from New York investigators after the attorney general’s office said Tuesday it was working alongside the Manhattan district attorney in an ongoing criminal fraud investigation. The two offices have been conducting parallel investigations for more than a year, although the inquiry by the office of New York’s attorney general, Letitia James, has been a civil one, meaning it could result in a lawsuit or fines. The Manhattan district attorney, Cyrus Vance, has been conducting a criminal investigation, which could result in charges....
The former president lashed out Wednesday at James, saying her office’s criminal investigation into the Trump Organization is “an investigation that is in desperate search of a crime” and part of a political and partisan witch hunt. In a lengthy statement, Trump suggested that James, a Democrat, has long been biased against him and was determined to prosecute him before “she had seen even a shred of evidence.” “This is something that happens in failed third world countries, not the United States,” Trump said...
The long-running criminal investigation by the Manhattan district attorney has focused on an array of potential financial crimes at the Trump Organization, including tax- and bank-related fraud....

Arizona ‘refurbishes’ its gas chamber to prepare for executions, documents reveal
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/may/28/arizona-gas-chamber-executions-documents
The state of Arizona is preparing to kill death row inmates using hydrogen cyanide, the same lethal gas that was deployed at Auschwitz. Documents obtained by the Guardian reveal that Arizona’s department of corrections has spent more than $2,000 in procuring the ingredients to make cyanide gas. The department bought a solid brick of potassium cyanide in December for $1,530. It also purchased sodium hydroxide pellets and sulfuric acid which are intended to be used to generate the deadly gas. The gas chamber itself, built in 1949 and disused for 22 years, has been dusted off and, according to the department, “refurbished”....

State prisons became more deadly in 2018, new federal statistics reveal.
https://www.prisonpolicy.org/blog/2021/06/08/prison_mortality/
In 2018, state prisons reported 4,135 deaths (not including the 25 people executed in state prisons); this is the highest number on record since BJS began collecting mortality data in 2001. Between 2016 and 2018, the prison mortality rate jumped from 303 to a record 344 per 100,000 people, a shameful superlative. It may seem like a foregone conclusion that more people, serving decades or lifetimes, will die in prison. But for at least 935 people, a sentence for a nonviolent property, drug, or public order offense became a death sentence in 2018.... The rate of homicide in state prison is 2.5 times greater than in the U.S. population when adjusted for age, sex, and race/ethnicity....
Even though most prison deaths each year are attributed to illness, and are therefore “natural,” being sick or old in prison is not quite what it is on the outside. Incarceration can add 10 or 15 years to someone’s physiology, and take two years off of their life expectancy per year served... The systemic neglect of illness and aging in prison populations isn’t natural at all. Every summer, we hear about prisons in hot climates that lack air conditioning, exposing incarcerated people to consistent temperatures of over 100 degrees....

The Criminal Justice System Is Bad For Your Health, Warns New York City’s Health Department
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/danvergano/new-york-health-risk-criminal-justice
New York City’s health department is warning the public that contact with the criminal justice system — everything from police stops or searches to incarceration to having a jailed relative — poses a public health risk. “The data show that involvement with the criminal justice system — even brief contact with the police or indirect exposure — is associated with lasting harm to people’s physical and mental health,” said health Commissioner Oxiris Barbot...
The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene estimates around 577,000 people, 9% of New Yorkers, have been physically threatened or abused by the police. Overall, 29%, roughly 1.9 million people, report even being stopped, frisked, or questioned by the police.
Those people have higher rates of heart disease, diabetes, drug abuse, and mental illness, warns the department, which is starting a new public health campaign focused on educating health care workers about chronic health conditions linked to these patients. Around 27% of those formerly incarcerated, for example, reported poor mental health, compared with 13% among the never incarcerated (the national rate for mental illness is 19%). And 29% of those reporting threats or abuse by the police had poor physical health, compared with 12% of those who hadn’t....
But studies have shown that incarceration, or the stress of daily lives subject to heavy police involvement, is associated with worse health not only for those directly affected but also for the entire population. About 40% of the formerly jailed people in the survey of 2,300 New Yorkers report that health care providers discriminate against them because of a criminal record. “We certainly would always consider housing, poverty, education, even the neighborhoods that people live in, to be important,”... “Coming into contact with the justice system is a traumatic event.”

Typically, medical furloughs are granted to inmates who have terminal illnesses or require outpatient procedures or care for chronic conditions.

Weaver was driven to the hospital later that evening in a sheriff’s office vehicle. By the following evening, she was dead....As it stands today, Sandy Cooley, the jail’s current administrator, makes medical decisions for inmates “most of the time,” Stringer said. Cooley, who has no formal medical training, said she believes Weaver’s death was unavoidable. “We wound up taking her to the emergency room.

Family to Get $10 Million After Death of Man Left in Jail Cell With a Broken Neck
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/14/us/elliott-williams-settlement-oklahoma.html
Elliott Williams tried to tell guards at an Oklahoma jail that he had broken his neck.
But surveillance footage shows staff members at the Tulsa County Jail throwing trays of food toward him and placing water out of his reach as he struggled to move on the floor. They dragged him on a blanket from another cell, and would later say he “acted as if paralyzed” and wanted “to be waited on.” Elliott Williams was eventually found dead in his cell, lying naked on the floor. More than eight years later, the county agreed this week to pay $10 million to the estate of Mr. Williams, marking the end of a civil rights lawsuit filed by his parents. By the time he died, he had been injured for five days, and the jail recorded the final 51 hours of his life from a monitored medical unit.

But Thomas’ death — the 10th to occur inside the county’s jails over the past 12 months — has renewed questions about how the county lockups in downtown Sacramento and Elk Grove are operated and whether inmates there are properly supervised.
Throughout California, jails have been struggling with an influx of inmates because of a 2011 law that shifted thousands of prisoners from the state’s overcrowded prisons and into county jails....

What COVID-19 Prison Outbreaks Could Teach Us About Herd Immunity
As states unevenly begin to reopen, researchers are scrambling to learn more about the coronavirus and “herd immunity.” That is when a large enough portion of the public has contracted the disease and developed antibodies so that it restrains the spread of the virus. Prisons, it turns out, may be a key place to study the nature of this virus—including how it transmits and how immunity to it works. Because while antibody rates for the general public, estimated between 1 and 20 percent in most places, remain far too low for herd immunity to kick in, it’s an entirely different story in a number of prisons. At the Marion Correctional Institution in Ohio, nearly 80 percent of prisoners have tested positive for the disease.

Florida man got 4 years for stealing 4 $15 phone chargers. He was beaten to death in prison

Christopher Howell was less than halfway into a four-year sentence at Lake Correctional Institution, a men’s prison near Orlando, when he died. He was serving time for stealing four phone chargers from a West Palm Beach Target.

Federal judge orders Department of Education to cancel loans for 7,200 students
“Thousands of Massachusetts students cheated by Corinthian have finally had their day in court, and they have won,” Healey said in a statement Friday. “This landmark victory for students will cancel the federal loans for thousands of defrauded borrowers, mostly Black and Latinx students, targeted by a predatory for-profit school and abandoned by Secretary DeVos and the Trump Administration. For five years, our office and the Project on Predatory Student Lending have fought to win students the relief they deserve and today we have won decisively.”
Healey said the ruling will result in millions of dollars in financial relief and marked the first time a federal court has ordered a “borrower defense discharge” of federal student loans. Borrowers may be eligible to have such loans forgiven if the school misled them or engaged in other misconduct....
She said 80 percent of students at Everest were women and more than three-quarters were Black or Latinx. She said they have been struggling to pay debts that courts had previously declared invalid.
Corinthian’s demise followed numerous investigations for misconduct, including a multi-year probe led by the US Department of Education that resulted in a $26.6 million fine for falsification of job placement rates at Corinthian campuses in California.
In 2014, Attorney General Martha Coakley sued Corinthian, alleging they used aggressive and deceptive marketing and loan tactics to boost enrollments and profits. Corinthian pushed students to take out subprime loans through the school, which charged interest rates as high as 18 percent, so they could qualify for federal student loans, Coakley alleged....

“First black AND Asian American woman . . . we don’t have to choose folks,” Representative Grace Meng of New York commented on an Associated Press tweet that referred to Harris as Black alone. The daughter of immigrants from Jamaica and India, Harris is the first Black woman, Asian-American, and person of either Tamil or Jamaican descent to be listed on either major party’s presidential ticket. If Joe Biden and Harris prevail in November, she will also be the first woman vice president....
“Representation matters!” wrote MSNBC analyst Zerlina Maxwell. Another Twitter user, who said she is a Black woman with a Black and South Asian son, replied, “Yes!! I woke up with a smile.” “DIWALI AT THE WHITE HOUSE ABOUT TO BE LIT,” tweeted communications expert and former political aide Zara Rahim. “HOLI . . . ON THE SOUTH LAWN . . . THE POTENTIAL.” ...
Scholars also said that the history of race in the United States means that Americans of all races often see Harris, and other multiracial people with Black ancestry, as “only” Black. “Those who get to claim a multiracial identity and assert it in a way that is read by others usually are people that are not Black,” said Nadia E. Brown, an associate professor of political science at Purdue College of Liberal Arts who researches Black women’s representation. Historically, that notion dates back to slavery, when the “one drop rule” designated people with any African ancestry whatsoever as Black, and thus subject to enslavement. Scholars said the effects of the rule persist. ...

her office fought tooth and nail to uphold wrongful convictions, that in some cases kept innocent people in prison. And then, I think, towards the moment that we are today — and I admit that she’s absolutely shifted on this — she did oppose bills or just stand silent on bills that would have allowed her office to investigate officer-involved shootings and mandate body-worn cameras by police officers across the state. When she was a DA, there was a large crime scandal, and rather than concede the corruption in the lab, she fought back and accused the judge of bias, because her husband, a defense attorney, had spoken out against the hiding of exculpatory evidence....

PolitiFact | Kamala Harris didn’t frame and prosecute a man for murder
Trulove alleged that police had fabricated evidence, coerced a key witness and withheld exonerating evidence. About two years later, the court sided with Trulove, concluding that police framed him for murder. A federal jury decided that two detectives had violated his civil rights — deliberately fabricating evidence and failing to disclose exculpatory evidence — and awarded $14.5 million to Trulove and his lawyers. The case was settled for $13.1 million in exchange for the city dropping its appeal of the verdict.
Trulove’s complaint in the civil case said that Lualemaga "had been paid over $60,000 in living expenses in exchange for her testimony." According to the court opinion in Trulove’s appeal, she was placed in witness protection by the district attorney’s office. Lualemaga "said she discussed her fears with a prosecutor, Fleming, before the preliminary hearing. She discussed the hardships she endured in the program, including that she, her husband, and their one year old child moved into one hotel, then another, and then another location."
Lualemaga received $875 per month for meals and between $1,350 and $2,500 per month for lodging and storage fees.
Before he was acquitted, Trulove spent years in maximum security prisons, where he was stabbed, a lawyer for Trulove said. In October 2019, when Harris was a presidential candidate, Vice published a story with the headline: "Kamala Harris’ prosecutors sent this innocent man to prison for murder. Now he’s talking."
Trulove said Harris was in the courtroom for his original guilty verdict and for his sentencing, according to the story. "She even locked eyes with him at one of the proceedings, offering what seemed like a ‘smirk,’ he said."
Vice quotes Trulove as saying Harris "wanted to be present for a celebration of a conviction." The publication also cites a 2019 New York Times op-ed by law professor Lara Bazelon, who criticizes Harris’ record as a prosecutor. As attorney general of California, Bazelon wrote, "Harris fought tooth and nail to uphold wrongful convictions that had been secured through official misconduct that included evidence tampering, false testimony and the suppression of crucial information by prosecutors." ...

Trump goes on offensive, ripping Biden and Harris
New York Times: Words few from, and about, Harris’s estranged father
In a warm, encyclopedic tribute to her family Wednesday night, as she formally accepted the vice presidential nomination, Senator Kamala Harris skimmed past any discussion of her father, Donald Harris, a Jamaican-born professor of economics at Stanford University.
The reason is common to many of Harris’s generation: She is a child of divorce, raised by a single mother who became her most profound influence.
As Harris has stepped into the national spotlight, Donald Harris, now 81 and long retired from teaching, has remained mostly silent. His only recent comments about her, published on a Jamaican website run by an acquaintance, express a combination of pride in his daughter and bitterness over their estrangement.
He scolded her in a letter, which has since been removed from the site, for joking in an interview that, growing up in a Jamaican family, it was natural that she had smoked marijuana. “Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family, we wish to categorically dissociate ourselves from this travesty,” he wrote.
Donald Harris did not respond to requests for comment for this article....

Receipt 'shows Hunter Biden's signature for repair work on laptop'
Last week a New York Post report claimed that Hunter Biden’s laptop was abandoned at the computer shop in April 2019 for months and was found to contain e-mails that purportedly implicate Joe Biden in his son's international business dealings during his time as Vice President. The laptop's hard drive was later obtained by the FBI and Donald Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who shared its contents with the Post. A receipt from The Mac Shop in Wilmington, Delaware, appears to show Hunter Biden’s signature signing off for repair work on three MacBook Pro laptops for $85, according to Fox News. However, the signature has not been verified. Joe Biden and his son Hunter are facing renewed scrutiny related to Hunter's business dealings overseas after his abandoned laptop was found to hold e-mails that allegedly show Joe Biden was in on Hunter's deals. Joe Biden's campaign has denied any wrongdoing...
One e-mail from the computer dated May 13, 2017 discusses 'remuneration packages' for six people in a business deal with the now-bankrupt CEFC China Energy Co. The e-mail appeared to identify Hunter Biden as 'Chair/Vice Chair depending on the agreement with CEFC'....The New York Post published a photograph, said to be found on an abandoned laptop, showing Hunter with a crack pipe in his mouth, left. A series of compromising pictures of Democratic candidate Joe Biden's son Hunter,...
Federal investigators are now probing whether the e-mails on that laptop are linked to a foreign intelligence operation.
Senate Republicans said they’ll investigate the first tranche of e-mails from Hunter’s Ukrainian business partners that appear to show a Burisma energy executive being introduced to Joe Biden when he was vice president. That was before Joe Biden lobbied for the firing of a prosecutor who had investigated the company....
The e-mails also included a picture of Hunter with what appears to be a crack pipe and an 11-minute sex and drug video that is yet to be seen.
Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said Monday that Hunter Biden's laptop 'is not part of some Russia disinformation campaign'
The emails surfaced as U.S. officials have been warning that Russia, which backed Trump's 2016 campaign through hacking of Democratic emails and a covert social media campaign, is interfering again this year....
BIDEN PICKS THE BEST MAN FOR THE JOB BECUZ HE IS "Some 38 (72 percent) of his appointees are women, 15 are African Americans (28 percent), 11 are Hispanic (21 percent) and 12 are Asian American or Pacific Islanders (23 percent)." ....
Opinion: Biden is on track to transform federal courts
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/09/30/biden-is-track-transform-federal-courts/
Media coverage of the Trump administration often posited that he had transformed the judiciary by appointing 234 federal judges. While it is true his appointees to the Supreme Court have turned that body into an instrument of right-wing policy, the right-wing grip on lower courts is weaker than one might imagine, thanks to the number of Obama appointees (334) and the furious pace of nominees under the current president.
The White House on Thursday announced its eighth slate of nominees to federal courts, raising that total to 53. Of these, 14 have been confirmed. For comparison’s sake, by Sept. 1 of his first year, President Donald Trump had a grand total of six confirmed judges. By the end of the year, he had appointed just 19. Eventually, he was able to appoint 234 federal judges.
The vast majority of cases never reach the Supreme Court, so the composition of lower courts, especially appellate courts that set precedent for lower courts throughout their circuits, is critical in determining the legal landscape.
The speed of President Biden’s nominations is perhaps not as striking as their diversity. Some 38 (72 percent) of his appointees are women, 15 are African Americans (28 percent), 11 are Hispanic (21 percent) and 12 are Asian American or Pacific Islanders (23 percent). The federal bench has traditionally been dominated by prosecutors and lawyers from large law firms. Under Biden, however, 17 nominees are public defenders (32 percent), 13 are civil rights lawyers (25 percent) and five are labor lawyers (9 percent)....
Given that the country’s population since 1990 has grown from about 249 million to 331 million and the pace of litigation has certainly not slowed, the result is considerable backlog. “Across the country, many litigants must wait years to have their cases resolved. The average time between filing and trial in federal civil suits, for example, is two years,” Buchanan and Wylie write. That has spurred a cottage industry of arbitration, a private system of justice in which the results are often confidential....

Charleston church shooting victims strike $88 million settlement with Justice Dept.
The Justice Department agreed Thursday to pay $88 million to victims of a racially motivated shooting at a historic Black church in South Carolina — a substantial but also symbolic figure meant to compensate for a background-check failure that allowed the killer to buy a weapon. A lawyer for the victims, Bakari Sellers, said the figure was particularly meaningful because the number 88 is significant among white supremacists like gunman Dylann Roof, who was convicted on federal hate crimes charges and sentenced to death....White supremacists use 88 as a code for ‘’Heil Hitler,’’ because ‘’H’' is the eighth letter of the alphabet. Roof killed nine people attending Bible study at Mother Emanuel, in Charleston, S.C., and later told investigators he wanted to start a race war....
Months before the shooting, Roof had been arrested for possession of narcotics, a charge that on its own did not disqualify him from buying a gun. But Roof’s subsequent admissions to police about drug use would have triggered an automatic rejection of his gun purchase if the information had been found during the background check....A district court judge initially ruled that the victim families did not have legal grounds to sue the government for those failures but that finding was overturned by a federal appeals court.
Under the settlement terms agreed to Thursday, the payments will be split among relatives of the dead and those wounded in the shooting, with the families of those killed getting $6 million to $7.5 million per claimant, and survivors getting $5 million....
After his arrest, Roof confessed to the shooting, laughing at times as he recounted what he did. He later wrote in a jailhouse journal: ‘’I would like to make it crystal clear, I do not regret what I did . . . I am not sorry. I have not shed a tear for the innocent people I killed.’’

Pentagon issues rules aimed at stopping rise of extremism
https://apnews.com/article/pentagon-military-extremism-02c18e646805ede69802644e44aeb37a
WASHINGTON (AP) — Warning that extremism in the ranks is increasing, Pentagon officials issued detailed new rules Monday prohibiting service members from actively engaging in extremist activities. The new guidelines come nearly a year after some current and former service members participated in the riot at the U.S. Capitol, triggering a broad department review.
According to the Pentagon, fewer than 100 military members are known to have been involved in substantiated cases of extremist activity in the past year. But they warn that the number may grow given recent spikes in domestic violent extremism, particularly among veterans.
Officials said the new policy doesn’t largely change what is prohibited but is more of an effort to make sure troops are clear on what they can and can’t do, while still protecting their First Amendment right to free speech. And for the first time, it is far more specific about social media....

27 Years in Solitary Confinement, Then Another Plea for Help in Texas
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/14/us/supreme-court-solitary-confinement.html
Dennis Hope, who has been held in solitary confinement in a Texas prison for more than half his life, asked the Supreme Court to set limits on prolonged isolation.
WASHINGTON — Dennis Hope has spent 27 years in solitary confinement in a Texas prison, in a cell that is 9 feet long and 6 feet wide — smaller than a compact parking space. “It’s three steps to the door and then turn around and three steps back,” Mr. Hope, 53, wrote in a recent letter to his lawyers. His only human contact is with the guards who strip-search and handcuff him before taking him to another enclosure to exercise, alone. He has had one personal phone call since 1994, when his mother died in 2013. He suffers from depression and paranoia and fears he is going insane. Last month, Mr. Hope asked the Supreme Court to consider whether such prolonged isolation can violate the Eighth Amendment, which bars cruel and unusual punishments....

Putin’s attack on memory at Babyn Yar
https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/03/05/world/putins-attack-memory-babyn-yar
A Russian attack in Kyiv Tuesday by the site of the Babyn Yar massacre — where over the course of two days in September 1941, Nazi forces murdered more than 33,000 Kyiv Jews — was just one of many wrenching reports out of Ukraine last week. But the missile strike, which killed five people and damaged Kyiv’s iconic TV tower as well as a building that was slated for use as a Holocaust museum, underscored more than the tragic consequences of this Russian war of aggression....
In the case of Babyn Yar, this was not Moscow’s first attack. In fact, when Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, who is Jewish, was informed of the strike during an interview, his reaction was caught on video: “That is Russia.” Those three words summon an entire history. Babyn Yar is rightly recognized internationally as the site of some of the most horrific Nazi atrocities committed in the former Soviet Union. But from the moment the German army withdrew from Kyiv in 1943 all the way through the collapse of the Soviet empire, it also became ground zero in the Soviet Union’s sustained campaign to suppress the memory of the Holocaust on Soviet soil. This was where the Nazis conducted the so-called Holocaust by bullets, the town-by-town massacres committed by special Nazi commando units...
(including Jews from elsewhere in the Soviet Union as well as Roma, prisoners of war, Ukrainian nationalists, and others). Historians now estimate that up to 100,000 people were murdered there between 1941 and 1943. Before withdrawing from Kyiv, the Nazis used forced labor to exhume and burn countless bodies in order to hide the evidence....
Soviet Union’s own powerful, ideologically motivated efforts to suppress the memory of genocide.... For decades after the war, the authorities refused to permit any memorials at Babyn Yar. An early publication known as “The Black Book,” prepared by a committee of Soviet Jews with the intention of “speaking for those who lie in the earth” was entirely suppressed, and some members of the committee were arrested and executed. The committee’s symbolic head, the Yiddish actor Solomon Mikhoels, was brutally murdered by Stalin’s henchmen, his killing then passed off as a traffic accident....
In case destroying early documentation was not enough, the Soviets had other methods for wiping away the memory of Babyn Yar. The most ultimately tragic of the schemes took aim at the topography of memory: If the old ravine could serve as a physical reminder of the gruesome crimes committed there, it would simply need to be erased from the landscape. The authorities built a giant dam on the site and flooded the ravine with silt.... Moscow empties its shelves of Ukrainian literature and Ukrainian artworks burn. The story of Babyn Yar also reminds us of why art can be such a threat to totalitarian regimes:...
It nonetheless took another 14 years before the Soviet government finally erected a memorial at Babyn Yar, a single giant bronze monument, with a plaque that read: “Here in 1941-43, the German fascist invaders executed more than 100,000 citizens of Kiev and prisoners of war.” There was still no mention of the massacre of the Jews — and there would not be until the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.... countries hoping to join the European Union were expected to transform their own societal norms, and Holocaust recognition emerged as a key requirement for “full participation in the family of Europe.” Judt wrote in 2007: “The recovered memory of Europe’s dead Jews has become the very definition and guarantee of the continent’s restored humanity.”...
Russia says the strike — part of a larger campaign, as Putin absurdly insists, to “denazify” Ukraine — was directed at the TV tower. But its forces must have also known the tower’s proximity to this newer infrastructure of memory....

I spent 14 years in solitary confinement. Here’s why we should end the practice.
https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/commentary/solitary-confinement-prisons-pennsylvania-20220805.html
One day, I found my friend laying on a staircase with severe stomach pain. Although he had been vomiting and could not walk, the guards denied him access to the medical unit. In protest, I refused to go back to my cell, ignoring a guard’s order, until my friend received medical attention. Due to the commotion I caused, the staff finally agreed to examine him, and he was almost immediately sent off to the emergency room. While my friend was getting a lifesaving colon surgery, I was handcuffed and moved to solitary confinement, charged with disrupting the order of the prison.
Doctors said that my friend would have died within 24 hours if he had not received medical care. My disobedience saved his life. But it sent me to solitary confinement for two years.... My experiences are not unique. According to the Vera Institute of Justice, the most common reason that an incarcerated person is placed in solitary confinement is for nonviolent infractions, including disobeying an order.... The 14 years I served in solitary came at a cost: They chipped away at my positive attitude, my patience, and my personality. I had to spend days, months, and sometimes years on end in a prison cell smaller than the size of a parking space, with the fluorescent lightbulbs shining on me at nearly all hours of the day and illuminating my cell so that I could be surveilled. I was prohibited from speaking to other people.... The studies I’ve read since then show what I felt: that instead of increasing public safety, the practice heightens mental health issues, including depression, aggression, and suicidal thoughts. Solitary units are often full of people with serious mental illness....

This is not a one-off situation; it’s related to other things and how the system is holistically functioning,”... practices that have allowed 15 people, who were not sentenced to death, to die in the Alaska prison system...
“It seems to be that a lot of these recent ones haven’t been there very long and so we don’t know what the cause is. It seems like there might be an issue with how people are being funneled into the jails and into the prisons, when they really probably need to be treated for health issues,” she said. Of the 15 deaths to occur in custody so far this year, several individuals have been in their 20s or 30s and died after only a short time in state care. Two deaths in August occurred after less than 24 hours....
“We’re not just supposed to ignore the fact that these folks may have some mental health issues or medical issues that need addressing, and not just stick them in a jail cell or a prison cell and ignore the fact that they may be really ill.” Like several others to die in corrections custody this year, Hensley was unsentenced. He had been in custody since Sept. 1, according to the department’s press release. About half the people in custody in Corrections facilities are unsentenced. “This is really disturbing because these people haven’t even been convicted and tried or sentenced for a crime, and here they are dying in custody,”... “DOC has constitutional and statutory obligations to provide health care to offenders who are placed in the custody of Alaska DOC,” ...

The city of Philadelphia issued an apology Thursday for the unethical medical experiments performed on mostly Black inmates at its Holmesburg Prison from the 1950s through the 1970s.... The city allowed University of Pennsylvania researcher Dr. Albert Kligman to conduct the dermatological, biochemical and pharmaceutical experiments that intentionally exposed about 300 inmates to viruses, fungus, asbestos and chemical agents including dioxin - a component of Agent Orange. The vast majority of Kligman's experiments were performed on Black men, many of whom were awaiting trial and trying to save money for bail, and many of whom were illiterate, the city said....

Judge Holds Federal Bureau of Prisons in Contempt for Allowing Man To Waste Away From Untreated Cancer
In a scathing opinion, a federal judge held the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) in civil contempt and levied sanctions against the agency last week for allowing an incarcerated man to waste away from untreated cancer, as well as for willfully ignoring and misleading the court. U.S. District Judge Roy Dalton for the Middle District of Florida wrote that the BOP should be "deeply ashamed" of how it treated the now-deceased inmate Frederick Bardell. Its actions, he said, were "inconsistent with the moral values of a civilized society and unworthy of the Department of Justice of the United States of America."...
"It takes a deeply rotten culture to make otherwise decent people act as these prison officials did," Kevin Ring, president of the criminal justice advocacy group FAMM, says. "The BOP is in desperate need of independent oversight."...
Medical neglect in U.S. prisons and jails is an ongoing constitutional disaster. Earlier this year, federal judges also held the Arizona and Illinois prison systems in contempt for failing to address gruesome medical neglect within their walls. The infamous Rikers Island jail complex in New York City is also under threat of being put in receivership by a federal judge because of chronic corruption, violence, and preventable deaths.
Reason also reported in 2020 on several allegations of fatal medical neglect inside FCI Aliceville, a federal women's prison in Alabama....

Invisible no more: Social Security will soon slide into insolvency
the average balance in 401(k) plans among boomers is just $198,000, and significantly less for those in their early 50s... A significant number of workers have little to no money set aside, and as recently as a few years ago, about 30 percent of boomers had no money in retirement plans, the Stanford Center on Longevity found. More than 54 million retirees and survivors receive Social Security benefits today — the largest contingent in history — and tens of millions expect to collect them in the future.... once the nearly $3 trillion in the Social Security trust fund starts shrinking, no one will lose benefits right away. But if the funding isn’t replenished by 2035, all recipients will face benefit cuts of more than 20 percent, under current projections by Social Security trustees. So, for example, if the average benefit this year is $1,461 a month, a 20 percent cut would reduce that payout by $292. Moreover, the cost-of-living adjustments built into the program over the coming years would not be enough to offset the cuts....
Social Security accounts for at least 90 percent of total retirement income for about a quarter of Americans over 65 and at least 50 percent of retirement income for roughly half...the prospect of a benefit cut could make people planning to retire in the next 15 years reassess that strategy and opt to begin collecting sooner....“The key problem with Social Security is the baby boom generation is too big,” ... “The system wasn’t structured for the present demographic.”... Replacing that with a sustainable fund now, however, would mean raising payroll or income taxes....
Is the IRS easing up on the wealthy?
From 2011 to 2017, audits of people earning $200,000 to $500,000 annually dropped by 74%; from $500,000 to $1 million by 71%; from $1 million to $5 million by 70%; from $5 million to $10 million by 62%; and $10 million and above by $52%.
However, for filers who claim the Earned Income Tax Credit — who, on average, make less than $20,000 per year — that audit rate dropped by only 36% in the same time period.
In short, the IRS is easing up on audits of the highest-earning Americans, while maintaining pressure on the lowest....
And then there's the emotional toll. Smith said he had clients who waited to open their letters from the IRS because they had other more pressing problems and "they just emotionally cannot handle it."

Thirty-Two Short Stories About Death in Prison
32 short stories about in-custody deaths or near-deaths in America....
Everything You Think You Know About Mass Incarceration Is Wrong
“Most of the reform efforts today,” he says, “are looking in the wrong places.” Here’s what, in Pfaff’s view, the “Standard Story” gets wrong. The war on drugs is not the main driver of incarceration rates that have grown fivefold since 1972.... The numbers, he says, debunk the notion that prison populations can be drastically reduced by easing punishment for low-level drug offenses. Only 16 percent of those locked up in state prisons are there for drug crimes,...We exaggerate the role of drugs, Pfaff suspects, because we focus on federal prisons, where more than half of the inmate population is serving time for drugs. But federal prisons hold less than ten percent of the country’s incarcerated. ... The drug war corrupted law enforcement by ramping up an ‘us v. them’ war mentality, transforming local police into domestic militaries ...
Sentencing reform legislation that does away with mandatory minimum sentences for low-level crimes is, in other words, worth doing, but not game-changing. The real problem, he says, is not “time served” but rather the sheer rate of admissions into prisons, which have skyrocketed since the 1980s. And that can only be fixed by reining in the day-to-day charging decisions of prosecutors.
The for-profit “prison industrial complex” is not the main problem, either. For all the attention paid to private prisons and the lobbying efforts of their corporate operators, they house only slightly more than seven percent of state prison inmates, and about 17 percent of the much smaller federal system.... “Yes, private firms have incentives to maximize the number of prisoners — but so do public sector actors, and they often have stronger incentives to do so, not to mention easier access to the politicians,”...
reforms should instead focus on bringing fewer felony charges against Americans in the first place. And that means zeroing in on prosecutors....“In the end, the probability that a prosecutor would file felony charges against an arrestee basically doubled, and that change pushed prison populations up even as crime dropped,”...several explanations for this. There were tens of thousands more prosecutors hired across the country in the 1990s and aughts even after the rising crime of the 1980s had stalled out, and the position of district attorney simultaneously became a more politically powerful one. Prosecutors’ discretion, always great, was expanded by courts and legislatures. And public defenders, stuck at the same or lower levels of funding, have not kept up with the growing caseload....
Pfaff’s plea, then, is for advocates of reform to look for ways to curb the aggressiveness of prosecutors. He offers a tentative menu of options: establish guidelines for charging and plea bargaining, ...And, last but not least, attack public complacency. In 46 states, prosecutors are elected — and 85 percent of them run without opposition...

PHP EDITORIAL: DEATH WITHOUT CONVICTION: Close dangerous loophole in public information law
Texas law enforcement agencies are using a loophole in the Public Information Act to conceal vital information about in-custody deaths. The exemption permits sheriffs, police chiefs, and district attorneys to withhold documents on cases that don't result in a criminal conviction or deferred adjudication --- even when a suspect dies. To keep taxpayer-funded agencies accountable and transparent, neglect and incompetence should be subject to the same oversight and scrutiny as is criminal wrongdoing. Legislators ought to abolish this loophole in open government law, or at least amend it to require law enforcement to release information when a person consents to it, or is dead. Negligence is not typically considered a crime, even when lethal. Thus, the so-called dead suspects loophole conceals information, even from family members, on practically all jail and other in-custody deaths.

Scope of missing, murdered indigenous women a mystery
https://www.cdapress.com/article/20191227/AP/312279959
The numbers are staggering, the Idaho Statesman reported: Nationwide, homicide is the third-leading cause of death for American Indian and Alaska Native women younger than the age of 20, and the sixth leading cause of death for those between 20 and 44 years of age, according to a 2016 Centers for Disease Control study....
Studies have also found that on some reservations, American Indian women are murdered at more than 10 times the national average and, in the majority of cases, violence against American Indian women is perpetuated by non-American Indian men, according to a National Congress of American Indians report. Indigenous women are not only being attacked on reservations. A 2018 Urban Indian Health Institute study of 71 urban cities across 29 states identified 506 cases of missing or murdered indigenous women,...These statistics, though, do not tell the whole picture. They are incomplete because of a lack of reporting at the federal, state and tribal levels. More than likely, the number of missing and murdered indigenous women in this country is much higher than these studies show....
“What we know about missing and murdered indigenous women is that we don’t know enough. But the information we do have is quite startling, ” Saenz told the committee....
Adding to this issue is tribes’ deeply ingrained distrust of non-tribal law enforcement.
“It goes back to the history,” Begaye said. “It took us so long to become a sovereign nation, which is like a nation within a nation, it was so hard to get to that point because of the history with the United States.” “The historical trauma that comes with it, the trust issues and betrayal,” Hayes-Begaye added....

Colin Kaepernick’s old team is in the Super Bowl, and the NFL has erased him
The commercial is part of the league’s “Inspire Change” campaign, an initiative that lets current and former players receive grants for their causes as determined by a committee made up of players and team owners.... Inspire Change is a shameless strategy for Commissioner Roger Goodell and the league’s owners to pretend that they not only supported the movement to bring attention to police violence and systemic oppression all along, but that they were really the progenitors of the whole idea. Any player who accepts the deal on these rotten terms is welcome....This is how the NFL handles social pressures it sees as potentially fraught. The league can always be trusted to pounce on a sincere effort to raise awareness of an issue, then fine-tune and focus-group it until the corporate-friendly result barely resembles its original form.... The movement that eventually struck such fear into the NFL began with a clear reason. Kaepernick, who started refusing to stand for the national anthem during the 2016 preseason, was outspoken about his cause: “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,” he told NFL Media reporter Steve Wyche, the day after the public noticed. “To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.” Since then, the quarterback’s intent has been contorted and bastardized in various ways....
Then there’s the aforementioned Players Coalition, founded in February 2017 by Boldin and Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins... The coalition felt it could receive a lot of financial support from the owners for their causes, but the faction saw the NFL’s offer as hush money to end the protests and stop making noise about Kaepernick’s unemployment. (Kaepernick hasn’t played since the 49ers season ended in 2017...
The NFL tried a different tactic in the 2018 offseason when it realized money would not extinguish all the players’ protests. That May, Goodell announced a new anthem policy, drafted without consulting the players union, that declared “all league and team personnel shall stand and show respect for the flag and the Anthem,” or otherwise stay in the locker room until it was over. If not, their clubs would be fined. The message was pure cowardice: Feel free to protest, as long as you do it where no one can see it...

Psychiatric Hospitals Can Still Force Patients to Accept Shock Treatment. One Connecticut Patient Has Been Shocked 500 Times in Five Years.
...Teixeira regularly receives inquiries from Connecticut patients facing involuntary shock treatment court orders, including one client who she says has been unwillingly subjected to the shocks 500 times. "I think it happens a lot more than people realize," Teixeira says. Shock therapy, also known as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), was developed in the late 1930s as a psychiatric treatment for severe psychosis and catatonia. Patients undergoing the procedure receive jolts of electricity from electrodes placed on their temples, triggering a brain seizure and convulsions that last up to a minute. After the two Italian psychiatrists who invented the treatment reported positive results, a 1938 news headline declared "Madness Cured with Electricity." It soon became evident, though, that the treatment could cause severe cognitive impairment and memory loss. In a 1944 study, shock therapy recipients "described losses such as the inability to recognize friends and acquaintances" which "remained after years and appeared to be permanent." Another study worryingly concluded that patients who improved or recovered after the seizure-inducing treatments had a "high frequency of relapse." Reports subsequently emerged in the 1950s of psychiatric hospital doctors and orderlies using the novel treatment to modify the behavior of harmless and healthy patients....To counter evidence of shock therapy's serious side effects, limited therapeutic benefits, and potential for abuse, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) partnered with shock industry lobbyists in the 1970s to persuade the public that the treatment was safe and effective. Though it took time, the public relations campaign succeeded. ...shock therapy generates $1.8 billion in costs annually, half of which are covered by Medicare...
A 2010 review of eight meta-analyses concluded that, because shock therapy causes persistent and permanent memory loss and a slight increased risk of death, "its use cannot be scientifically justified." In 2018, as the result of a class-action lawsuit, ECT device maker Somatics added a warning to its instruction manual that in "rare cases, patients may experience…permanent brain damage."...It is virtually impossible to know how many Americans are involuntarily shocked, since, besides Texas, states don't require hospitals to report how often they administer the procedure. Likewise, medical privacy laws make it prohibitively difficult for the public to attend involuntary shock hearings....

Why We Are Publishing Video of the Hours Before Phillip Garcia Died in Custody
Using California’s public records law, we obtained 17 hours of surveillance and hand-held video footage documenting some of the 44 hours Garcia was held in custody. The video played a key role in our examination of Garcia’s death, which was ruled a homicide by the coroner. The videos establish that sheriff’s deputies falsified jail logs and reports about the amount of force used to subdue Garcia. They show his agitated state as he strains hour after hour to free himself from restraints.
Garcia died after being diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis, a disorder caused by overexertion in which toxins released by the overuse of muscles lead to kidney failure. The family sued Riverside Country for wrongful death, and the case was settled before trial with a payment of $975,000. The county admitted no wrongdoing and as part of the deal insisted the family sign a nondisclosure agreement, or NDA, that prohibited them from discussing the case with the press.
As far as we can determine, no one with the sheriff’s department was disciplined for their role in Garcia’s death. Nor were any procedures changed....

How the Federal Government Lost Track of Deaths in Custody
https://theappeal.org/police-prison-deaths-data
Efforts by the federal government to track deaths in law enforcement custody, including deaths during arrests as well as deaths in prisons, jails, and immigration detention centers, predate George Floyd’s death by nearly two decades. But despite these efforts, little public data exists on how, why, or even how many people die in the custody of law enforcement or correctional officers. Efforts to implement a 2014 law that sought to rectify this issue have been delayed by confusion over the law’s requirements and opposition by law enforcement groups, and advocates claim that the Trump administration has intentionally undermined efforts to collect an accurate count of in-custody deaths in the United States....
Congress unanimously passed the Death in Custody Reporting Act of 2000, which required states to report every death of a person who “is in the process of arrest, is en route to be incarcerated, or is incarcerated at a municipal or county jail, State prison, or other local or State correctional facility” to the Department of Justice every three months....
The Bureau of Justice Statistics, the DOJ agency that collects crime data, began collecting the data that same year. Between 2001 and 2016, the BJS found that at least 16,058 people died in local jails, nearly half by nonnatural causes like suicide or drug overdose, and nearly 60,000 people died in state and federal prisons. The agency also reported nearly 5,000 arrest-related deaths, the majority of which were police homicides, from 2003 to 2009, the last consecutive year of full data on arrest deaths.
But the program faced challenges from the start. Congress provided no funding to implement the law and no enforcement mechanism to ensure states reported data, meaning the BJS had to rely on law enforcement and correctional agencies to provide the data voluntarily. ...
In 2014, BJS suspended its arrest-related deaths program after states failed to report sufficient data in 2012 and 2013. The following year, an internal review found that BJS was recording data for fewer than half of arrest-related deaths nationwide... Even when the BJS did release in-custody mortality data, the bureau only made state- and national-level data available to the public....

Leading Slovak extremist sentenced to four years in jail over use of neo-Nazi symbol
Kotleba used to appear in uniforms reminiscent of those worn during the wartime Slovak State, which was run by the Nazi puppet regime led by a former Roman Catholic priest, Jozef Tiso. But as Kotleba’s party moved into the mainstream, he shifted his attacks from Jews to immigrants and the country’s Roma minority. The case against Kotleba centered on the distribution of three checks for 1,488 euros to families in need at a public event in 2017. The prosecutor Tomas Honz argued in court that the amount of each check — 1,488 — was a clear reference to neo-Nazi ideology. According to the prosecutors and expert witnesses, the number 14 was a reference to “14 Words,” a popular white supremacist slogan. They said the number 88 was an allusion to the Nazi salute “Heil Hitler,” in which each word begins with the eighth letter in the English alphabet.... “The words themselves don’t mean anything,” Judge Ruzena Sabova said in her verdict, adding that the numbers had meaning only in the context that they are signs of extremism....
Exploring Connecticut’s witchcraft past
https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/10/18/lifestyle/exploring-connecticuts-witchcraft-past/
Connecticut’s witch trials were among the first in New England, preceding Salem’s by four decades. The confession of witchcraft by Wethersfield resident Mary Johnson in 1648 was the first of 43 Connecticut cases, with 16 ending in execution. The first married couple ever tried for witchcraft, John and Joan Carrington, were executed three years later. And then there was Katherine Harrison, from Wethersfield. Harrison was a former servant who married a wealthy landowner. When he died, she and her daughters inherited his holdings, much to the dislike of her neighbors, who later brought charges of witchcraft against her. On Oct. 12, 1669, a jury found her guilty, but the court did not move to execute her. Instead, the judge established a panel to formulate better procedures and rules of evidence, which made it more difficult to convict someone of witchcraft.

Why 4,998 died in U.S. jails before their day in court
https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-jails-deaths/
Three guards tackled the 36-year-old, pepper sprayed him and kicked him repeatedly in the head. After handcuffing him, two guards slammed Hill into a concrete wall, previously unpublished jail surveillance video shows. They led him to a shower, away from the cameras, and beat him again, still handcuffed, a state investigation found. The guards said Hill was combative, exhibiting surprising strength that required force.
Video showed Hill writhing in pain in the infirmary, where he was assessed by a licensed practical nurse but not given medication. Mississippi law dictates that a doctor or higher credentialed nurse make decisions on medical interventions. But Hill was sent straight to an isolation cell, where a guard pinned him to the floor, removed his handcuffs, and left him lying on the cement. Hill crawled to the toilet. Then he stopped moving.
No one checked him for 46 minutes. When they did, he didn’t have a pulse. Within hours, he was dead. And he had a lot of company.
Hill’s is one of 7,571 inmate deaths Reuters documented in an unprecedented examination of mortality in more than 500 U.S. jails from 2008 to 2019. Death rates have soared in those lockups, rising 35% over the decade ending last year. Casualties like Hill are typical: held on minor charges and dying without ever getting their day in court. At least two-thirds of the dead inmates identified by Reuters, 4,998 people, were never convicted of the charges on which they were being held....

4 deaths in 4 weeks revive questions about how San Diego jails handle inmates
Four inmates have died in San Diego County jails since mid-October, bringing the number of deaths this year to nine and reviving questions about what is being done to prevent deaths inside local jails. Before the recent spike, the county was on track to record the fewest jail deaths since Sheriff Bill Gore took over the department in 2009, although the inmate population has been sharply reduced due to the pandemic. Last year 16 people died in custody....Between 2009 and 2019, the sheriff’s department reported more than 140 inmate deaths,...In the 10-year period ending in 2019, the county recorded an annual average of 245 deaths per 100,000 inmates.

Los Angeles County had the second-highest rate, an annual average of 157 deaths per 100,000 inmates. Sacramento County had the lowest mortality rate among the six counties studied, with an average of just under 94 deaths per 100,000 inmates a year....

Biden helped usher in an era of mass incarceration. Can he now end it?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/01/11/biden-mass-incarceration/
Biden sponsored bill after bill that would do just that, helping to usher in an era of mass incarceration that would define criminal justice policy for decades and fall heavily on Black and Brown communities. Now, as president-elect, Biden has promised a remarkable turn:...“On paper, it’s great,”...“But, I will say, there’s a lot of skepticism from people about him taking down the house he helped build. … I take him at his word. … I think the country’s moved and I think a lot of people have.”...aims to cut incarceration by tackling everything from sentencing on the front end to prison release policies on the back. Biden also wants to establish a $20 billion grant program that would incentivize states to shift from incarcerating offenders to addressing the underlying causes of crime...Biden says he will work to repeal federal mandatory minimum sentences, end cash bail, stop the use of solitary confinement...
Another challenge for Biden is that a president has only limited influence over state prisons and jails, where more than 90 percent of inmates are housed. There are 153,000 inmates in federal custody, according to the Bureau of Prisons, while the Prison Policy Initiative reports that there are more than 2 million in state facilities. Any meaningful effort to reduce mass incarceration will have to spur states to make changes as well....

He died in a 101-degree Alabama prison cell with a 109 body temperature. Officials have no answers.
An Alabama man incarcerated in a prison mental health ward overheated and died in December after temperatures inside his cell topped 101 degrees Fahrenheit.
Tommy Lee Rutledge was found unresponsive in Donaldson prison on the night of Dec. 7, sitting near the window of his single-occupant cell with his head "facing out the window," in an apparent attempt to breathe cool air, according to his autopsy.

America’s Rural-Jail-Death Problem
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2021/03/americas-rural-jail-death-problem/618292/
Across the country, an average of roughly three people died each day in local jails of all sizes in 2016, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, or BJS—a rate that is almost certainly an underestimate. A disproportionate number of those deaths happen in America’s smallest jails. Mortality rates were highest in jails holding a daily average of fewer than 50 people between 2000 and 2012, the last period for which BJS reported mortality by jail size; suicide rates were inversely correlated with jail size from 2000 to 2007. Small-to-midsize jails tend to have fewer resources to provide adequate mental-health and medical care, suicide prevention, and drug treatment—services that many people entering jails need. They also often have less oversight and are more overcrowded than their larger counterparts. In many ways, small institutions are the most troubling example of America’s epidemic of preventable deaths in jails—and they are also the least likely to draw public attention. ...
But much of this reduction has taken place in state and federal prisons. Major urban jails have seen reductions too, with populations dropping 18 percent from 2013 to 2019. The opposite is true, however, in the rest of the nation’s 3,134 local jails, which are operated by counties or cities and typically hold people who are awaiting trial or serving short sentences. Over the same time frame, jail populations shot up 27 percent in rural areas, and 7 percent in small-to-midsize cities. ...

Council Post: Formerly-Incarcerated People And The Employment Gap: Expanding Opportunities
As a society, we don’t always extend empathy to incarcerated and formerly-incarcerated people the way we do to other underserved groups. In fact, I’d say bias often leads us to believe their marginalization is somehow deserved or, at the very least, defensible. Yet if more people understood the reality of our criminal justice system — from wrongful convictions to the large number of people in prison because of small-time drug offenses — they might feel differently. They might even give formerly-incarcerated people a fresh chance at building a career and contributing positively to our workplaces and communities.
With almost 2.1 million people imprisoned as of July 2021, the U.S. houses about one fifth of the world’s prison population and the largest number of incarcerated people in any country. Nonviolent drug convictions account for a startling portion of the U.S. prison population.

Why Ukraine matters: What to know about the crisis with Russia -
https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/02/19/world/why-ukraine-matters-what-know-about-crisis-with-russia
Ukraine was often in the news during the Trump administration. Why?
Ukraine was central to the impeachment of former President Donald Trump in 2020.
Several months before impeachment proceedings, Trump had blocked $391 million in military aid to Ukraine. Soon after, Trump asked the newly elected Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, to investigate discredited corruption allegations involving Joe Biden, then the likeliest Democratic challenger to Trump.
As a result, Trump was accused of illegally asking a foreign entity — Ukraine — to intervene in the U.S. political system, and of changing state policy to help him personally. The impeachment vote narrowly failed.
Ukraine was also at the heart of a scandal involving Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort. In 2018, Manafort was jailed for concealing more than $30 million worth of consultancy fees he received from Ukrainian oligarchs and government officials to promote the political fortunes of Viktor Yanukovych, the pro-Russian Ukrainian president ousted in the 2014 uprising. Manafort advised Yanukovych between 2006 and 2014, before the latter fled to Russia, and before Manafort began working for Trump....

Cocoa, Fla.-based KelTec’s donation is a high-profile example of Americans collecting guns, ammunition, body armor, helmets and other tactical gear in response to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s promise to arm his citizens.

Florida Corrections Officers Paralyzed A Man, Then Left Him in Solitary Confinement
Craig Ridley died in 2017 after corrections officers paralyzed him and left him in solitary confinement for days without access to food. A medical examiner ruled Ridley's death a homicide—yet state and federal prosecutors brought no charges in the case....
Ridley's death marks the third time in recent years that corrections officers have broken Florida inmates' necks during prison beatings. It is yet another abuse case inside Florida prisons with seemingly no consequences for those responsible....
In the coming days, other inmates alerted officers to Ridley's condition. However, the Herald reports that officers and nurses did nothing—walking by Ridley's cell 173 times over five days. "For five days I watch them starve him," Cherette wrote to Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigators. "[T]hey ain't feed him or nothing every time they stop he tell them that he can't move the nurse laugh an make jokes and keep going."...
Ridley died one month later, on October 12th. A medical examiner ruled the death a homicide, citing the cause of death as "blunt impact" to the head and neck, a spinal cord injury, and "complications of quadriplegia." "There should have been criminal charges to come out of this," Aubrey Land, a former investigator with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, told the Herald "There is serious medical neglect, evidence of falsifying documents, and a man that died. It looks mighty bad."
Ridley's death is part of a larger pattern of behavior by guards in Florida prisons. In 2018, inmate Cheryl Weimar was paralyzed from the neck down after prison guards beat her nearly to death. In 2020, a Florida corrections officer brutally beat handcuffed inmate Christopher Howell, breaking his neck and killing him. "This was an inhumane death caused by an abysmal lack of medical treatment," Diane Ridley Gatewood, Ridley's sister, told the Herald, "it was torture."
His death was ruled ‘natural.’ But what Tarrant jailers did to him suggests otherwise
https://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/fort-worth/article263839377.html
A months-long review of the case, despite reluctance by the Sheriff’s Office and Texas Rangers to disclose records, has uncovered evidence that suggests Miller may have died as a consequence to how he was treated in Tarrant County Jail, where at least 45 other people have died since 2019.... A more likely explanation of what may have led to Miller’s death, the experts say, is the fact that sheriff’s officers pepper-sprayed him at least three times at close range in jail. He was homeless and suffered mental problems most of his life, and also had asthma.... statements from sheriff’s officers who say Miller told a jail nurse “I can’t breathe” shortly after the officers sprayed him. There is no indication in the records that Miller was given medical care after saying he couldn’t breathe; he was found unconscious and face-down in his cell 38 minutes later. The jail’s call for an ambulance went out as a possible drug overdose....
