'The Alcatraz of the Rockies': Why No One Ever Escapes From ADX Florence https://people.howstuffworks.com/adx-florence.htm?utm_medium=share&utm_campaign=hsw_share&utm_source=twitter via @HowStuffWorks What Solitary Confinement Does to the Body and Mind Reiter says that doctors have known since the 1960s and 1970s that solitary confinement and sensory deprivation have immediate and lasting effects on the brains and bodies of prisoners, as evidenced by the experiences of American POWs in Vietnam. "We know that locking someone up in solitary confinement can cause all kinds of psychological problems within days, if not hours," says Reiter. "With Supermax prisons, we've essentially been running a mass experiment on the effects of long-term solitary confinement for the last two decades."

Post-Sanity America : By H.W. Crocker III - What do you do when you live in a culture where, to an alarming degree, the institutions are run by lunatics? Toward the end of his life, I got to know William Peter Blatty , author of The Exorcist . He was a faithful Catholic, but very skeptical—or realistic—about man’s openness to revelation.

Jesus, addressing the Pharisees, was similarly realistic in His parable of the rich man and Lazarus, saying that “...

Adultery and fornication: Why are states rushing to get these outdated laws off the books? https://www.salon.com/2019/05/06/adultery-and-fornication-why-are-states-rushing-to-get-these-outdated-laws-off-the-books/ In true Marie Kondo fashion, a few states are starting to “tidy up” their criminal code by removing crimes from the statute books that no longer “spark joy.” More specifically, Utah, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Virginia have all proposed legislation to remove the crime of adultery and (where applicable) fornication from their statute books. Utah’s law was just signed by the governor , and Massachusetts , Minnesota and Virginia all have laws at various levels of committee purgatory. Massachusetts and Minnesota’s laws look like they have a fighting chance at least. Arizona and South Carolina are also attempting to amend their laws, but the basics of the crime will remain intact.
