When Prisons Become Illegal
Futurist Thomas Frey
*** begin quote ***
Restorative justice is an approach to justice that focuses on the
needs of the victims and the offenders, as well as the surrounding
community.
Crime is a larger issue than just how government deals with
criminals. Since crime victims and the community bear the brunt of
the crime, they too must be actively involved in the criminal
justice process.
Currently, many victims feel re-victimized by the criminal justice
system itself because it excludes them from most of the process.
Using a different approach, with restorative justice victims take
an active role in the process, while offenders are encouraged to
take responsibility for their actions, “to repair the harm they’ve
done—by apologizing, returning stolen money, or community
service”.
Restorative justice asks that victim’s concerns be considered
throughout the process. Victims need help regaining a sense of
control over their lives, and they need to be compensated for
their loss.
Rather than simply warehousing offenders, restorative justice
holds offenders personally accountable. They need to confront the
pain they have caused to their victims and take the steps
necessary to overcome their criminal behavior.
*** end quote ***
The USA has too many in prison.
Time to try something different.
As far as capital punishment, I'd restrict that to inmates that
are too dangerous to put in prison.
Libertarians generally believe in restitution. And, we've been
saying it for a while.

HAWLEY-Visitors at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, VA can find the resting place of a Hawley son, Patrick Henry McAndrew, who served as an Army surgeon in the Spanish American War.
A career military man, his life spanned the American Civil War to the end of World War II. His brother, also from Hawley, was Major General James W. McAndrew, who served as Chief of Staff to General Pershing in World War I.
*** and ***
Perhaps he witnessed the craft at the feet of Dr. Curtis or Dr. Dingman and sensed his own calling.
We know that he graduated from Manhattan College in New York and the University of Pennsylvania Medical School, class of 1893.
In 1898 he was young and struggling physician in the City of Scranton, when the Spanish American War broke out. He was willing when the call came to serve his country.
We can only suppose that his brother James, two years his senior, may have served as an inspiration in Patrick's decison to follow a military career. James, who would one day serve as an Army general, had graduated from West Point in 1888, ten years before. In 1898, James was serving in the Santiago campaign in Cuba during the Spanish-American War.

Chartres and St. Malo
Today we woke up bright and early just in time to see the beautiful sunrise in Saint Malo. We headed back to Paris, but first we made a trip to the town of Chartres, where we took a tour of the beautiful cathedral that was created in the 15th century and holds some of the most intricate and stunning stain glass artwork and architecture standing today. We were able to explore the town after, eating some delicious crepes and shopping in souvenir boutiques along the strip of businesses in the quaint little town.
Tomorrow, we will be visiting the startup company that we will be working with in market entry for the remainder of the MBA project. We are ready to work and looking forward to using our Manhattan College minds to create some innovative solutions for this company.

This is Lynn. This is a very hard email to write. Monday Ed awoke with the worst headache he ever had and was extremely dizzy. He was sort of out of it. I called 911 and we took him to Peconic Bay Hosp where they did a cat scan. There was blood in his brain so they transported him to Stony Brook Hosp where they had a neurologist waiting for us.He was in surgery for over three hours. They removed part of his skull to relieve the pressure. They called it a brain bleed. Of course, the blood thinners only made things worse. He is in a medically induced coma. After a few days they will try to bring him out of the coma. Then we will have a better idea of where he stands. Ed is gravely ill.
I know everyone sends him good thoughts and when I have a better idea of where we are going I will try to update all his friends.
I'm in and out of the house so an e mail is better for communicating than the phone. I will try to keep you informed. Lynn

by ADMIN on 26 MARCH 2012 · 24 COMMENTS
Riverdale, NY (PRWEB) March 26, 2012
The fourth semester of Manhattan Colleges popular Major Author Reading Series (M.A.R.S.) resumes on April 2 with author Emma Straub, and Pulitzer-winning poet Claudia Emerson will follow on April 19.
Designed to engage and expose students to modern literature, M.A.R.S. has brought a variety of acclaimed writers to campus for readings and book signings, including Junot Diaz, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for “The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao;” Jennifer Egan, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of “A Visit from the Goon Squad;” Rick Moody, award-winning novelist; Phillip Lopate, noted essayist; and Tina Chang, the poet laureate of Brooklyn.
Straub, author of “Other People We Married” and the forthcoming “Laura Lamonts Life in Pictures,” will read on April 2. A New York native, Straubs fiction and nonfiction have been published by Tin House, The Paris Review Daily, Slate, Cousin Corinnes Reminder and many other journals. She is currently a staff writer for Rookie magazine, and lives in Brooklyn, N.Y.
Lorrie Moore, author of “Birds of America” and “A Gate at the Stairs,” says of Straubs work, In these stories of grief, love, loss and transplantation, Emma Straub demonstrates her brilliance, her humor, her sharp observational powers, as well as her lyrical gifts and affection for the world. She is a terrific new talent.
On April 19, Claudia Emerson, winner of the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for “Late Wife,” will wrap up the spring semesters M.A.R.S. series.
In addition to “Late Wife,” Emersons poetry collections include “Secure the Shadow;” “Figure Studies;” “Pharaoh, Pharaoh;” and “Pinion: An Elegy,” all in the Southern Messenger Poets series from LSU Press. Emerson was the Poet Laureate of Virginia from 2008-2010, and is a recipient of a Witter Bynner Fellowship from the Library of Congress. She is currently a professor of English and Arrington Distinguished Chair in poetry at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Va.
Poet Deborah Pope says of Emersons latest book “Secure the Shadow:” Like the estranged lover in one of her poems who pitches horseshoes in the dark with preternatural precision, so Emerson sends her words into a different kind of darkness with steely exactness, their arc of perception over and over striking true.
Both the April 2 and April 19 events start at 4:30 p.m. and will be held on campus in Hayden Hall, room 100, and are open to the public.
For more information about the M.A.R.S. series at Manhattan College, contact Adam Koehler, assistant professor of English, by email at adam.koehler@manhattan.edu or phone (718) 862-7546, or David Eye, visiting assistant professor of creative writing, by email at david.eye(at)manhattan(dot)edu or phone (718) 862-7921.

'So many people died'http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/2013/01/201319125049203902.html

Pham To looked great for 78 years old (at least, that's about how old he thought he was). His hair was thin, gray, and receding at the temples, but his eyes were lively and his physique robust - all the more remarkable given what he had lived through. I listened intently, as I had so many times before to so many similar stories, but it was still beyond my ability to comprehend. It's probably beyond yours, too.
Pham To told me that the planes began their bombing runs in 1965 and that periodic artillery shelling started about the same time. Nobody will ever know just how many civilians were killed in the years after that. "The number is uncountable," he said one spring day a few years ago in a village in the mountains of rural central Vietnam. "So many people died."
And it only got worse. Chemical defoliants came next, ravaging the land. Helicopter machine gunners began firing on locals. By 1969, bombing and shelling were day-and-night occurrences. Many villagers fled. Some headed further into the mountains, trading the terror of imminent death for a daily struggle of hardscrabble privation; others were forced into squalid refugee resettlement areas. Those who remained in the village suffered more when the troops came through. Homes were burned as a matter of course. People were kicked and beaten. Men were shot when they ran in fear. Women were raped. One morning, a massacre by American soldiers wiped out 21 fellow villagers. This was the Vietnam War for Pham To, as for so many rural Vietnamese.

There were a lot of casualties in this war.
It divided my Classmates into the joiners, the draftees, and the evaders. The joiners and draftees were lucky if they came back, I guess. They certainly were changed. Even the evaders didn't escape either; they changed too and some died cut off from friends and family. << DuBois, John [MC1968 RIP]>>
I've often thought about this since the "end". Even the Gulf of Tolkin story, McNamara admission, and all the anecdotal stories, just made me more sure that this was a "disaster" in so many dimensions.
The sad part is that we learned NOTHING!
The 70's anti-war movement, minus the Quakers, was all astroturf for the D's.
Drone warfare, with its "collateral damage", is … immoral.
The way "we" treat the retuning vets is also immoral.
Not paying the tab for all this and palming it off on future generations is immoral.
I just don't know how we fix it?
