This is the fence of a prison.
The United States, its states and their counties have an awful lot of these places. Not only does the country have a higher incarceration rate per hundred thousand than any other country but our land also incarcerates more of its citizens in the aggregate than any other country. It's a problem that its citizens, on both sides of the political spectrum, are debating and struggling with.

Manning was also demoted in rank, dishonorably discharged and will be deprived of his military pay and benefits. Flanked by activists from the Bradley Manning Support Network and other supporters, Manning's lawyer David Coombs addressed a packed 1:30PM press conference at the nearby Hotel At Arundel Preserve. Coombs answered numerous questions from the press in an animated and illuminating manner and read a moving personal statement from Private Manning. Cornel West, Chris Hedges, Ann Wright, Medea Benjamin, Kevin Zeese and other well known Manning supporters were in attendance.

I am not a published author.
Nor do I intend to be. What follow are just sentences, strung together to make meaning of it all. A failed attempt to decipher what is in my head, in reality and in my dreams. These are just feelings that have been splattered on a page. For I am an artist using words, emotions, and experiences as my paint, flicking them carelessly on this canvas, hoping wherever the piece ends up, someone somewhere may take comfort in the piece of art. Perhaps it will be spotted by someone who is into modern art. Post modern. And that the dash of sadness that hit the bottom left hand corner, will be interpreted by a wealthy investor as a metaphor for the suffering of the windgarbee tribe in most Northern reaches of Africa or something like that and they shall so love the painting, they buy it and commission another. But see you that may not be possible. What follows may not be able to be followed. These words are my own agonies wrung out of my soul like a dirty dishcloth ready to be hung up. So forgive my weak metaphors and forced similes. I hope to inspire feeling not beauty.
Ink on paper, 20 x 20 cm, 2001. An original piece from the series “Alphabet”:
A barcode is the graphical representation of a series of numbers. What creates the aesthetics of a barcode? It comes from lines, their thickness, the spacing. We can think of it as a language with its composition rules, its grammar and its syntax. I imagined isolating these rules, separating them from the original purpose for which they were created, and I tried to change them gradually to invent a new language and perhaps new meanings.

Want is ten thousand blue feathers falling
all around me, and me unable to stomach
that I might catch five but never ten thousand.
So I drop my hands to my sides and wait
to be buried. I open a book and the words
spring and taunt. Flashes—motel, lapidary,
piranha—of every story, every poem I’ll never
know well enough to conjure in sleep.
What’s the point of words if I can’t
own them all? I toss book after book
into my imaginary trashcan fire.
Or I think I’ll learn piano. At the first lesson,
we’re clapping whole and half notes
and this is childish, I’m better than this.
I’d like to leave playing Ravel. I’d like
to give a concerto on Saturday. So I quit.
I have standards. Then on Saturday,
I have a beer, watch a telethon. Or
we watch a documentary on Antarctica.
The interviewees are from Belarus, Lima, Berlin.
Everyone speaks English. Everyone names
a philosopher, an ethos. One man carries a raft
on his back at all times. I went to Nebraska once
and swore it was a great adventure. It was.
I think of how I’ll never go to Antarctica,
mainly because I don’t much want to. But
I should want to. I should be the girl
with a raft on her back. When I think
of all the mountains and monuments
and skyscapes I haven’t seen, all the trains
I should take, all the camels and mopeds
and ferries I should ride, all the scorching
hikes I should nearly die on, I press
my body down, down into the vast green
couch. If I step out the door, the infinity
of what I’ve missed will zorro me across
the face with a big L for Lazy. Sometimes
I watch finches at the feeder, their wings small
suns, and have to grab the sill to steady myself.
Metaphorically, of course. I’m no loon.
Look—even my awestruck is half-assed.
But I’m so tired of the small steps—
the pentatonic scale, the frequent flyer
hoarding, the one exquisite sentence
in a forest of exquisite sentences.
There is a globe welling up inside of me.
Mountain ranges ridging my skin,
oceans filling my mouth. If I stay still
long enough, I could become my own world.
Kenosha Deputy Frank Fabiano Jr's widow, Amy, (center) cries while her sister, Danette Beiser (right), and friend Jennifer Merlin (top) try to comfort her during a memorial ceremony in front of the Kenosha Courthhouse. Fabiano's murder, Ezequiel Lopez-Quintero, was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole by Judge Wilburn W. Warren III.
On 7 March 2014, Trial Chamber II of the International Criminal Court (ICC), ruling in the majority, with Judge Christine Van den Wyngaert dissenting, rendered its judgment in the case The Prosecutor v. Germain Katanga. The Chamber was satisfied beyond reasonable doubt of Germain Katanga’s guilt as an accessory, within the meaning of article 25(3)(d) of the ICC’s founding treaty, the Rome Statute, to one crime against humanity (murder) and four war crimes (murder, attacking a civilian population, destruction of property and pillaging) committed on 24 February 2003 during the attack on the village of Bogoro, in the Ituri district of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Decisions on sentencing and victim reparations will be rendered later. The Prosecutor and the Defence may appeal the judgment within 30 days.

Does Massachusetts Need a (New) Three Strikes Law? | Rappaport Center Blue Cross Blue Shield Roundtable
House Minority Whip Bradford Hill, United States District Judge Nancy Gertner (ret.), and Middlesex County Sheriff Peter Koutoujian led a full capacity crowd in a lively debate of the pros and cons of the sentencing reform bills currently being negotiated by a Massachusetts legislative conference committee. Rep. Hill explained the evolution of “Melissa’s Bill,” which he introduced shortly after the murder of 27-year-old Melissa Gosule in 1999, from a California-type “three strikes” bill to a more narrowly tailored habitual offender provision targeted at the most violent offenders. Others questioned whether even a more narrow provision will reduce crime or just exacerbate prison overcrowding.
Palestinian civil rights and women's empowerment leader Rasmea Odeh was given 18 months in federal prison by Judge Gershwin Drain. She was accused of being a "terrorist", stripped of her U.S. citizenship and accused of lying in open court.
Hedwig Engemann, accused of aiding a man she had an affair with in a Nazi-organized effort to conducted sabotage in the United States during World War II, is shown in a mugshot after her arrest in 1942.
Hedwig “Hedy” Engemann was born in 1907 in New York to German immigrant parents. The Engemann family moved from the U.S. to Westphalia Germany in 1913. Her father was killed as a member of the German army during World War I in 1914 in France.
Her mother brought Hedwig Engemann and her three brothers back to the United States in 1928 and resettled in New York City where Hedwig worked as a waitress.
Hedwig Engemann took a trip to Miami in January 1940 where she met Eddie Kerling who would become one of six Nazi saboteurs executed by the United States. Engemann had an affair with Kerling, who was married.
She returned to New York later in 1940 working as a governess and later in the family grocery store.
In June 1942 she was approached by Helmut Leiner, a friend of Kerling’s, who asked her to go to Central Park where Kerling was waiting.
She was arrested a week later as the sabotage plot was foiled when one of its members went to the FBI. She was charged with misprision of treason—having knowledge of treason, but not doing anything about it. The person she was supposed to have knowledge of committing treason was Helmut Leiner.
She was also alleged to have changed money for Kerling into smaller denominations. She was the only U.S.-born citizen to be charged in the plot where a total of 22 people were initially arrested.
On advice of counsel, she pled guilty to misprision of treason and was sentenced to three years in prison in November 1942. Ironically Leiner was acquitted of treason charges since he was not a U.S. citizen, though he later went to jail on lesser charges.
Engemann was released on parole in 1945 after serving time in the Women’s House of Detention in New York and Alderson federal prison in West Virginia.
In 1952 she was required to register as an agent of a foreign government under the Internal Security Act of 1950.
Hedwig Engemann died in 1988
Of the eight Nazi saboteurs who landed on U.S. shores by U-boat, six were executed, one received 30 years and one received a life sentence. The latter two were granted clemency in 1948 and deported to Germany.
The other 14 (including Engemann) charged with aiding the saboteurs had various outcomes. Some were initially sentenced to death, but had their sentences overturned. Some served long prison terms, some shorter terms and some had charges dropped.

Chicago Tribune
Judge Denounces Palumbo Deal
FATHER, SONS SENTENCED IN ROAD-BUILDING FRAUD
By Matt O'Connor
Tribune Staff Writer
June 19, 1999
The patriarch and two sons of a century-old road-building business that constructed nearly every major expressway in Chicago were sentenced to federal prison terms for fraud Friday under terms of a plea agreement blasted by the judge in hindsight as being too lenient.
Referring to the sentencing agreement she had earlier approved between prosecutors and attorneys representing the three executives of Palumbo Brothers Inc., U.S. District Judge Elaine Bucklo said, "I don't like to find myself in a position of saying that a plea agreement fails to do justice because it does not adequately punish a defendant. . . . But in this case the conduct went on for years, the conduct harmed a lot of people, and it harmed the people of Illinois."
Bucklo gave Sebastian and Joseph Palumbo the maximum 21-month sentences and ordered each to pay a $250,000 fine. Their father, Peter, 72, was sentenced to a year in prison, 3 months of home confinement and a $250,000 fine. The elder Palumbo could have received as much as 15 months in prison under the plea agreement.
In pleading guilty in January, Palumbo Brothers and a second family-controlled company admitted billing for far more construction material than they used in 60 Chicago-area road projects by inflating weight tickets or creating "ghost" trucks. Although Bucklo accepted the plea deals then, she said Friday that on further reflection she concluded the prison terms called for in the agreements were "grossly below a minimum acceptable sentence."
While the government's evidence showed the Palumbos were deeply involved in a massive multimillion dollar road-building scheme that spanned decades, the plea agreement allowed them to plead guilty to less serious charges involving the cheating of workers out of overtime pay. Instead of the defendants, the corporation pleaded guilty to the road-building fraud.
Bucklo also decried the disparity in sentences for at least one co-defendant, an employee who potentially faces a longer prison term than the Palumbos even though he acted on their orders, didn't gain financially from the scheme and later cooperated with authorities in the federal probe.
By Bucklo's calculations, because of their involvement in the fraud scheme, the Palumbos should have been facing at least 3 1/2 years in prison, double the limitations imposed on her by the plea deal. = "Unfortunately, I cannot do anything about the agreement (now)," Bucklo said. "I cannot force the government to prosecute."
In an interview after the hearing, U.S. Atty. Scott Lassar defended his office's actions in the case, calling the plea deal with the Palumbos "an outstanding agreement" for the government. "We were able to get significant prison sentences for the Palumbos without having to risk a trial," Lassar said. The complicated case was expected to take four months to try. Lassar also noted that the Palumbos and their company agreed to a lifetime ban on bidding on federally funded road-construction projects, a major concession for a company that once ranked as Illinois' largest road contractor. If the case had gone to trial, the company could have been suspended from public road-building projects for five years at most.
In addition, Lassar cited the unprecedented $15 million in restitution and fines that the Palumbos and the company agreed to pay. The elder Palumbo and his two sons have to personally come up with $750,000 of that.
Bucklo had scoffed at the significance of the $250,000 fines for each of the Palumbos during the sentencing hearing. Financial records submitted as part of the case show the two sons each have net worths of $25 million or more while their father reported assets of more than $6 million, she revealed.
Defense lawyers sought home confinement for the elder Palumbo in hopes that even though he is retired, he could help run the business by telephone while his two sons serve their prison terms. Assistant U.S. Atty. John Newman, who prosecuted the case, questioned whether home confinement would be punishment, noting that at one time Peter Palumbo lived at son Joseph's palatial South Barrington farm house, with its six-car garage, a pond with a beach and an island, and a baseball field.
Bucklo ordered that the elder Palumbo serve his three months of home confinement at his less spectacular River North condominium. After sentencing the Palumbos, Bucklo imposed a 21-month prison term on another defendant in the case, Kelson Abdishi, a former Illinois Department of Transportation engineer who supervised many of the Palumbo road projects and pocketed bribes to overlook the fraud.
CrimeDawg Commentary
The indictment against the Palumbos charged them with defrauding the Laborers and Teamsters Pension funds, charges never prosecuted. The Palumbos were represented by the ploitically powerful law firm of Winston & Strawn where former Governor (Pinstripe Patronage King) James Thompson is the managing partner. Dan Webb was counsel for the Palumbos, as he was counsel for John Serpico is is disciplinary hearing and in Serpico's law suit against LIUNA for adopting the EDP under emergency conditions by vote of executive board members without ratification by rank and file. Winston & Strawn is also counsel to John Serpico on possible indictments he might face for the Capitol Bank Case .
In the fall of 1996, Capitol Bank in Chicago pled guilty to an federal grand jury indictment for accepting a local union's pension fund in return for providing below market interest rate loans to the union local's officers-ie. John Serpico. I have beeen advised that there is a ten year statue of limitations to indict Serpico. The GEB Attorney was not informed by the U.S. Attorney in Chicago that Serpico faces indictment and that there might have been room for a plea bargain in the event John Serpico testified against Arthur Coia and named him an associate of organized crime. Serpico and Caivano were not called as witnesses in Coia's disciplinary hearing-something I find strange.
Judge Blucko is the stupid judge who issued an opinion, subsequently over ruled, that federal criminal statues could not be used against the Palumbos but that their cheating the Laborers Pension/ welfare funds had to be handled under the collective bargaining agreement- an argument propounded by Sherman Carmel on behalf of the Chicago Federation of Labor no friend of the union rank and file whose money was stolen.
The whole thing stinks.

Anthony Cramer, one of fourteen people charged in civilian courts with aiding eight Nazi saboteurs who landed by submarine on U.S. shores In June 1942, is shown in a full frontal photograph after his arrest.
Cramer was aa close friend of Werner Thiel, one of eight German Nazi saboteurs who landed by U-boat on U.S. shores in June 1942.
Cramer was born in Allendorf, Germany in 1900 and served in the German army during World War I. He arrived in the United States in 1925 and became a naturalized citizen in 1936.
He was a member of the Friends of New Germany—the predecessor organization to the German-American Bund, a pro-Nazi organization.
While in the United States, Cramer worked as both an engineer and a mechanic in New York.
He had dinner with both Thiel and Edward Kerling, another of the saboteurs, while in New York. Thiel gave Cramer $3,670 for safekeeping which Cramer put in a safe deposit box.
Cramer was charged and convicted of treason in November 1942 and sentenced to forty-five years in prison plus a $10,000 fine.
While Cramer remained imprisoned, the case was appealed all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which reversed his conviction on April 23, 1945 in a 5-4 decision.
Writing for the majority, Justice Robert H. Jackson said that the Constitution is clear in its definition of treason, limited to the waging of war, or giving material assistance to an enemy.
The prosecution and its witnesses could demonstrate only an association and not that Cramer had given "Aid and Comfort," as defined in Article Three. Jackson wrote that the jury had been given no evidence that Cramer had "even paid for their drinks." As such, the majority opinion held, the associations were insufficient to convict Cramer for treason, and the judgment of the Court of Appeals was reversed.
But Cramer’s legal troubles were not over. Minutes before the paperwork could reach the prison to release him, Cramer was indicted for violating the “Trading with the Enemy” act and a Presidential “freeze order” over Cramer’s safeguarding Thiel’s money.
Cramer pled guilty September 29, 1945 and was sentenced to six years in prison. The judge remarked that it would have been 10 years except that Cramer had already been in prison for over three years.
The eight Nazi saboteurs who landed in the U.S. in Florida and New York were almost immediately arrested after one of them, George Dasch, contacted the FBI and turned himself in.
The eight saboteurs were quickly convicted--six of whom were executed in August 1942, including Kerling and Thiel; one received a life sentence; and one received 30 years imprisonment following a Washington, D.C. military trial.
Fourteen other people, including Cramer, were charged with aiding the eight saboteurs. Cramer was charged with treason and the government sought the death penalty.
Of the others charged with aiding the saboteurs some received various prison terms, some had charges dropped, some were detained as enemy aliens and deported after the war ended.

The pastoral and spiritual care are just as much part of everyday life of the members of the Convention as the teaching in the traditional Scots high school and youth work in the basement. In the spirited Scots parish a lively cultural activity can unfold.
History of the Schottenstift
Duke Henry II Jasomirgott made Vienna the residence of Babenbergerreiches (Kingdom of the Babenberg). To emphasize the importance of the new capital, he convened in 1155 iroschottische (Irish-Scottish) monks from the St. Jakob monastery in Regensburg to Vienna. The new foundation in the first place should be a place of prayer, but then also a place where pilgrims and guests could find admission, a refuge for asylum seekers (the name "Freyung" still today reminds of that) and a center of cultural life.

In the years from 1160 to 1200 outside the former city limits arose a mighty Romanesque church, which was a lot bigger than today's church, and the eastern part of the Roman church reached about 25 meters beyond the east wall of the present house of worship. In 1200, the church and convent were consecrated by the Bishop of Passau Wolfger von Ellenbrechtskirchen. Already in 1276 much of this troublesome erected complex fell victim to a fire. Earthquakes in the years 1348 and 1443 again left traces of destruction. In the mid-15th Century thus arose a new monastery.

In 1418 the era of Irish-Scottish monks ended, since in the course of the Melker Reform they were encouraged also to integrate locals into their ranks because junior staff more and more became sparse. The Iroschotten but prefered to return to their mother abbey in Regensburg. The name "Scots" but remained to this day.

Deed of Foundation
The fundamental redesign of Scots Abbey falls in the 17th and 18th Century. 1648, the present church was completed, in the following decades the monastery complex was changed from its very foundations.
Decisive role in these buildings had Abbot Carl Fetzer (1705-1750). Today's "Schottenhof (Court)" under abbot Andreas Wenzel (1807-1831) by the architect Josef Kornhäusel was classicist redesigned. The intensive study of science and close ties to the in 1365 founded University of Vienna resulted yet in the times of irish-scottish monks in the emergence of a first library. Although from those roots today almost nothing remains, the number of medieval manuscripts and incunabula in the following centuries grew. In this regard, wrote Albert P. Huebl (1867-1931) all currently valid printed catalogs. During the reorganization of the monastery, a new library hall was built under Abbot Andreas Wenzel for printed books, whose current division Vincent P. Knauer (1828-1894) had created. Under his leadership, a handwritten nominal catalog of books was created in 1883.
In 1807 on the request of the emperor it came to the foundation of the "Schottengymnasium" which took up the old school tradition of the house on the Freyung and should it continue. The prestigious school has become a main area of work of the monks. Concerning the building structure, the two world wars the Schottenstift on the whole has survived intact, for the Convention itself they entailed great damage, be it the economic troubles after the first world war or the great human bloodletting in the years 1939 to 1945. Numerous brothers fell in the war or did not return, the gates of the school remained closed from 1938 to 1945. The Second Vatican Council for the Scots Abbey, too, entailed the profound reflection upon the peculiarities of the monastic life and the tasks, which a Benedictine community in the world of today should and can shoulder.

Important art dating back several centuries
The Vienna Schottenstift on Freyung is among the most important Benedictine monasteries in Austria. Yet in the 15th Century, the Abbey of the Scots developed into a center of the Vienna spiritual and city life. Not coincidentally shows the Scots masters altar the first topographically correct view of the city of Vienna. The reign of Barockabtes (Baroque abbot) Carl Fetzer (1705-1750) was an economic and cultural heyday. The 1826-1832 by Josef Kornhäusel designed Prelature now houses the "Museum in the Abbey of the Scots". In addition to an extensive collection of paintings, furniture, tapestries, vestments and liturgical utensils and vestments, it shows an impressive documentation of the monastery history.

Buchenwald concentration camp (German: Konzentrationslager (KZ) Buchenwald, IPA: [ˈbuːxənvalt]) was a Nazi concentration camp established on the Ettersberg (Etter Mountain) near Weimar, Germany, in July 1937, one of the first and the largest of the concentration camps on German soil.
Camp prisoners from all over Europe and Russia—Jews, non-Jewish Poles and Slovenes, religious and political prisoners, Roma and Sinti, Jehovah's Witnesses, criminals, homosexuals, and prisoners of war— worked primarily as forced labor in local armament factories. From 1945 to 1950, the camp was used by the Soviet occupation authorities as an internment camp, known as NKVD special camp number 2.
1937- 1945 :
According to the same source, the total number of deaths at Buchenwald is estimated at 56,545.
This number is the sum of:
Deaths according to material left behind by SS: 33,462
Executions by shooting: 8,483
Executions by hanging (estimate): 1,100
Deaths during evacuation transports: 13,500
NKVD Special camp 2
Numbers and casualties
The total number of detainees and deaths is uncertain.
The Soviet Ministry for the Interior released numbers in 1990, according to which 122,671 were detained, 42,889 of whom died primarily due to starvation and diseases, 756 were sentenced to death and executed, 45,261 were released, 12,770 were deported to the Soviet Union for forced labour, the status of 6,680 was changed to prisoner of war, and 14,202 were handed over to the Communist authorities of East Germany after their establishment. Historian v. Flocken says these numbers are too low, and places the number of total detainees at 160,000 to 180,000, 65,000 of whom died. Historians Plato, Mirenko, Niethammer, Jeske, and Finn give estimates of about 154,000 detainees, and say the number of deaths given by the Soviets is realistic.
Among the dead were an estimated 12,000 discovered in 1990 in mass graves near the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. Six thousand of the captives in Sachsenhausen were German officers sent there from Western Allied camps.
