Kieran "Header" Nugent (1958 - 4 May 2000) was a volunteer in the Provisional Irish Republican Army and best known for being the first IRA 'blanket man' in the H-Blocks. When sentenced to three years, Nugent refused to wear a prison uniform and said the prison guards would have to "...nail it to my back".
Kieran Nugent's childhood came at a time when Northern Ireland was exploding into turmoil. On 20 March 1973 as a 15 year old he was standing with a friend on the corner of Merrion Street and Grosvenor Road, when a car pulled up beside them and one of the occupants asked them for directions. Another occupant of the vehicle then opened fire with a sub machine gun. Kieran was seriously wounded after being shot eight times in the chest, arms and back by loyalists. A friend Bernard McErlean, aged 16, who was standing nearby was shot and killed
In the coming years he joined the IRA as a young man. He was arrested, aged 16, by the British Army and spent five months on remand in Crumlin Road Prison. When he was eventually tried, the case against him was withdrawn and he was released. He became an active volunteer until his arrest and imprisonment, without trial, on 9 February 1975 under Merlyn Rees, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. He spent nine months in Cage 4 of Long Kesh prison camp until 12 November 1975. He was imprisoned again after his arrest on 12 May 1976, and sentenced to three years imprisonment on 14 September 1976 for hijacking a vehicle and, upon entering the Maze Prison, refused to wear a prison uniform. He was not provided with alternative clothing and wrapped himself in the blanket from his cell beginning the "Blanket Protest".
He was soon joined in his protest; Jackie McMullan was the next prisoner to don the blanket, followed by six more republican prisoners from the Beechmount area of Belfast. By Christmas 1976 the number had risen to over forty prisoners on protest. From this moment on republican prisoners emulated him and this started five years of prison protests in pursuit of political status, which ended in the 1981 Hunger Strike and the death of seven IRA and three INLA prisoners

History
1839-1918
The original building of the Vienna Court House, the so-called civil Schranne (corn market), was from 1440 to 1839 located at the Hoher Markt 5. In 1773 the Schrannenplatz was enlarged under Emperor Joseph II and the City Court and the Regional Court of the Viennese Magistrate in this house united. From this time it bore the designation "criminal court".
Due to shortcomings of the prison rooms in the Old Court on Hoher Markt was already at the beginning of the 19th Century talk of building a new crime courthouse, but this had to be postponed because of bankruptcy in 1811.
In 1816 the construction of the criminal court building was approved. Although in the first place there were voices against a construction outside the city, as building ground was chosen the area of the civil Schießstätte (shooting place) and the former St. Stephanus-Freithofes in then Alservorstadt (suburb); today, in this part Josefstadt. The plans of architect Johann Fischer were approved in 1831, and in 1832 was began with the construction, which was completed in 1839. On 14 May 1839 was held the first meeting of the Council.
Provincial Court at the Landesgerichtsstraße between November 1901 and 1906
Johann Fischer fell back in his plans to Tuscan early Renaissance palaces as the Pitti Palace or Palazzo Pandolfini in Florence. The building was erected on a 21,872 m² plot with a length of 223 meters. It had two respectively three floors (upper floors), the courtyard was divided into three wings, in which the prisoner's house stood. In addition, a special department for the prison hospital (Inquisitenspital ) and a chapel were built.
The Criminal Court of Vienna was from 1839 to 1850 a city court which is why the Vice Mayor of Vienna was president of the criminal courts in civil and criminal matters at the same time. In 1850 followed the abolition of municipal courts. The state administration took over the Criminal Court on 1 Juli 1850. From now on, it had the title "K.K. Country's criminal court in Vienna".
1851, juries were introduced. Those met in the large meeting hall, then as now, was on the second floor of the office wing. The room presented a double height space (two floors). 1890/1891 followed a horizontal subdivision. Initially, the building stood all alone there. Only with the 1858 in the wake of the demolition of the city walls started urban expansion it was surrounded by other buildings.
From 1870 to 1878, the Court experienced numerous conversions. Particular attention was paid to the tract that connects directly to the Alserstraße. On previously building ground a three-storey arrest tract and the Jury Court tract were built. New supervened the "Neutrakt", which presented a real extension and was built three respectively four storied. From 1873 on, executions were not executed publicly anymore but only in the prison house. The first execution took place on 16 December 1876 in the "Galgenhof" (gallow courtyard), the accused were hanged there on the Würgegalgen (choke gallow).
By 1900 the prisoners house was extended. In courtyard II of the prison house kitchen, laundry and workshop buildings and a bathing facility for the prisoners were created. 1906/1907 the office building was enlarged. The two-storied wing tract got a third and three-storied central section a fourth floor fitted.
1918-1938
In the early years of the First Republic took place changes of the court organization. Due to the poor economy and the rapid inflation, the number of cases and the number of inmates rose sharply. Therefore, it was in Vienna on 1 October 1920 established a second Provincial Court, the Regional Court of Criminal Matters II Vienna, as well as an Expositur of the prisoner house at Garnisongasse.
One of the most important trials of the interwar period was the shadow village-process (Schattendorfprozess - nomen est omen!), in which on 14th July 1927, the three defendants were acquitted. In January 1927 front fighters had shot into a meeting of the Social Democratic Party of Austria, killing two people. The outrage over the acquittal was great. At a mass demonstration in front of the Palace of Justice on 15th July 1927, which mainly took place in peaceful manner, invaded radical elements in the Palace of Justice and set fire ( Fire of the Palace Justice), after which the overstrained police preyed upon peaceful protesters fleeing from the scene and caused many deaths.
The 1933/1934 started corporate state dictatorship had led sensational processes against their opponents: examples are the National Socialists processes 1934 and the Socialists process in 1936 against 28 "illegal" socialists and two Communists, in which among others the later leaders Bruno Kreisky and Franz Jonas sat on the dock.
Also in 1934 in the wake of the February Fights and the July Coup a series of processes were carried out by summary courts and military courts. Several ended with death sentences that were carried out by hanging in "Galgenhof" of the district court .
1938-1945
The first measures the Nazis at the Regional Criminal Court after the "Anschluss" of Austria to the German Reich in 1938 had carried out, consisted of the erection of a monument to ten Nazis, during the processes of the events in July 1934 executed, and of the creation of an execution space (then space 47 C, today consecration space where 650 names of resistance fighters are shown) with a guillotine supplied from Berlin (then called device F, F (stands for Fallbeil) like guillotine).
During the period of National Socialism were in Vienna Regional Court of 6 December 1938 to 4th April 1945 1.184 persons executed. Of those, 537 were political death sentences against civilians, 67 beheadings of soldiers, 49 war-related offenses, 31 criminal cases. Among those executed were 93 women in all age groups, including a 16-year-old girl and a 72-year-old woman who had both been executed for political reasons.
On 30 June 1942 were beheaded ten railwaymen from Styria and Carinthia, who were active in the resistance. On 31 July 1943, 31 people were beheaded in an hour, a day later, 30. The bodies were later handed over to the Institute of Anatomy at the University of Vienna and remaining body parts buried later without a stir at Vienna's Central Cemetery in shaft graves. To thein the Nazi era executed, which were called "Justifizierte" , belonged the nun Maria Restituta Kafka and the theology student Hannsgeorg Heintschel-Heinegg.
The court at that time was directly subordinated to the Ministry of Justice in Berlin.
1945-present
The A-tract (Inquisitentrakt), which was destroyed during a bombing raid in 1944 was built in the Second Republic again. This was also necessary because of the prohibition law of 8 May 1945 and the Criminal Law of 26 June 1945 courts and prisons had to fight with an overcrowding of unprecedented proportions.
On 24 March 1950, the last execution took place in the Grey House. Women murderer Johann Trnka had two women attacked in his home and brutally murdered, he had to bow before this punishment. On 1 July 1950 the death penalty was abolished in the ordinary procedure by Parliament. Overall, occured in the Regionl Court of Criminal Matters 1248 executions. In 1967, the execution site was converted into a memorial.
In the early 1980s, the building complex was revitalized and expanded. The building in the Florianigasse 8, which previously had been renovated, served during this time as an emergency shelter for some of the departments. In 1994, the last reconstruction, actually the annex of the courtroom tract, was completed. In 2003, the Vienna Juvenile Court was dissolved as an independent court, iIts agendas were integrated in the country's criminal court.
Prominent processes since 1945, for example, the Krauland process in which a ÖVP (Österreichische Volkspartei - Austrian People's Party) minister was accused of offenses against properties, the affair of the former SPÖ (Sozialistische Partei Österreichs - Austrian Socialist Party) Minister and Trade Unions president Franz Olah, whose unauthorized financial assistance resulted in a newspaper establishment led to conviction, the murder affairs Sassak and the of the Lainzer nurses (as a matter of fact, auxiliary nurses), the consumption (Konsum - consumer cooporatives) process, concerning the responsibility of the consumer Manager for the bankruptcy of the company, the Lucona proceedings against Udo Proksch, a politically and socially very well- networked man, who was involved in an attempted insurance fraud, several people losing their lives, the trial of the Nazi Holocaust denier David Irving for Wiederbetätigung (re-engagement in National Socialist activities) and the BAWAG affair in which it comes to breaches of duty by bank managers and vanished money.

Some 200 people bearing placards calling for bail for 11 convicted Communist Party USA leaders gather at the Pennsylvania Station in New York October 27, 1949 en route to a series of demonstrations in Washington, D.C.
The demonstration was sponsored by the Civil Rights Congress (CRC). The demonstrators numbering more than 300 rallied at Turner’s Arena on 14th Street before picketing the Justice Department.
U.S. Attorney J. Howard McGrath met with CRC head William Patterson and four of the wives of the defendents where they pressed their case for release on bail.
The eleven were Benjamin J. Davis Jr., chairman of the party’s legislative committee and a New York City councilmember; Eugene Dennis, CPUSA General Secretary; John Gates, leader of the Young Communist League; Gil Green, Member of the CPUSA National Board; Gus Hall, member of the CPUSA National Board; Irving Potash, former union official, Jack Stachel, editor of the Daily Worker; Robert G. Thompson, leader of the New York Branch of the CPUSA; John Williamson, member of the CPUSA Central Committee, Henry Winston, member of the CPUSA National Board and Carl Winter, leader of the Michigan Branch of the CPUSA. William Z. Foster, CPUSA National Secretary was indicted, but not tried, due to illness.
Public opinion would swing sharply against the defendants during the 10-month trial, mainly due to external events. The Soviet Union tested its first atomic bomb and Mao’s People’s Liberation Army defeated the Chinese Nationalists. In addition, Soviet intelligence operatives were exposed and the Cold War with the Soviet Union had begun.
Witnesses testified to what documents and communist writings meant. On October 14, 1949, the verdict was rendered and none of the eleven were convicted of any overt acts of attempting to overthrow the government. All were convicted on the basis that Communist Party membership was sufficient proof of a crime under the Smith Act.
Judge Harold Medina sentenced ten defendants to five years and a $10,000 fine each ($100,657 in 2017 dollars). The eleventh defendant, Robert G. Thompson – a veteran of World War II – was sentenced to three years in consideration of his wartime service. Thompson said that he took "no pleasure that this Wall Street judicial flunky has seen fit to equate my possession of the Distinguished Service Cross to two years in prison."
Medina also sentenced six defendants for contempt of court. He then found the defense attorneys in contempt and handed down jail sentences ranging from 30 days to six months. Two defense attorneys were later disbarred.
Bail was ultimately granted during appeal of the convictions to the eleven totaling $260,000 ($2,617,091 in 2017 dollars) which was furnished by the Civil Rights Congress that had created a non-profit trust fund to assist CPUSA members with legal expenses.
The appeals failed before the Supreme Court in 1951 in the case of Eugene Dennis. A 6-2 majority held that free speech was limited. Chief Justice Fred Vinson's opinion stated that the First Amendment does not require that the government must wait "until the putsch is about to be executed, the plans have been laid and the signal is awaited" before it interrupts seditious plots.
The Court would later reverse itself in 1957 in the Yates, et. al. case. Justice John Marshall Harlan wrote for the majority:
“We are thus faced with the question whether the Smith Act prohibits advocacy and teaching of forcible overthrow as an abstract principle, divorced from any effort to instigate action to that end, so long as such advocacy or teaching is engaged in with evil intent. We hold that it does not.... In failing to distinguish between advocacy of forcible overthrow as an abstract doctrine and advocacy of action to that end, the District Court appears to have been led astray by the holding in Dennis that advocacy of violent action to be taken at some future time was enough.”
The ruling didn’t overturn the Smith Act, but made it virtually un-enforceable thereafter.

PRG Carries Out Execution In Saigon
The Lewiston Daily Sun - Jun 5, 1975
source: news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1928&dat=19750605&...
SAIGON (AP) - They came to watch a "People's Tribunal" of the new Provisional Revolutionary Government (PRG).
There were more than 1000 spectators. They gathered last week on Cong Ly Street near McNamara Bridge, named by Americans for the former United States secretary of defense, Roberts McNamara, because of an assassination attempt against him in the early 1960s when explosives were planted on the bridge he was scheduled to cross.
Nguyen Tu Sang, 23-year-old son of a carpenter, was accused of tossing a grenade at civil guards of the PRG, of having joined four different branches of the former Saigon army, and of being a troublemaker in his neighborhood.
Two banners hung on a row of tables strung across the street. One said: "The Peoples Tribunal of Yen Do Ward." The other said: "We are determined to punish troublemakers who cause harm to order and security, to protect the life and property of the people."
The trial was witnessed by Sang's father and mother. The crowd faced a pagoda. Sang stood erect on a wooden stool without emotion, his hands handcuffed in front of him. To his right stood PRG soldiers, one of them with an AK47 rifle with bayonet pointed at him. On a platform just behind Sang stood a man in civilian clothes reading the verdict, guilty. The sentence: death.
Sang was lead to a nearby alley where he was ordered to face a wall. He was shot to death with a pistol that had a silencer. Witnesses said three bullets were fired. One hit Sang in the head and two in the back. An ambulance carried away his body. Witnesses said that just before the execution, Sang was calm. He smoked a cigarette. He broke down and wept only when his mother approached him in tears.

Công lý 'Nhân dân' Việt nhanh gọn, kết quả chết người
SAIGON (AP) - Họ đã đến xem một "Tòa án nhân dân" của Chính phủ Cách mạng lâm thời mới (PRG).
Có tới hơn 1000 khán giả. Họ tụ tập tuần trước trên đường Công Lý gần cầu McNamara Bridge, cây cầu được người Mỹ gọi theo tên cựu Bộ trưởng quốc phòng Mỹ Robert McNamara, vì một âm mưu ám sát ông trong khoảng những năm đầu thập niên 1960 khi chất nổ được gài trên cây cầu nằm trong lộ trình của ông.
Nguyen Tu Sang, 23 tuổi, con của một người thợ mộc, đã bị buộc các tội ném lựu đạn vào nhân viên bảo vệ dân sự của Chính phủ CM lâm thời, tội đã tham gia bốn ngành khác nhau của quân đội Sài Gòn cũ, và tội gây rối tại khu phố của mình.
Hai biểu ngữ treo trên một dãy bàn xếp liền nhau ngang qua mặt đường. Một tấm biểu ngữ viết: "Tòa án Nhân dân Phường Yên Đổ." Tấm kia viết "Cương quyết trừng trị bọn phá rối trật tự an ninh để đảm bảo tài sản sinh-mạng cho nhân dân."
Vụ xử được chứng kiến bởi cha mẹ của Sang. Đám đông đối diện một ngôi chùa. Sang đứng thẳng trên một chiếc ghế gỗ mà không thấy có cảm xúc gì, hai tay bị còng ra phía trước. Đứng bên phải anh ta là những binh sĩ của PRG, một trong số họ cầm khẩu súng AK47 với lưỡi lê chĩa vào anh ta. Trên một bục cao ngay phía sau Sang là một người đàn ông mặc thường phục đứng đọc lời tuyên án, buộc tội. Bản án: tử hình.
Sang được dẫn vào một con hẻm gần đó, nơi anh ta được ra lệnh quay mặt vào một bức tường. Anh bị bắn chết bằng một khẩu súng lục có một bộ phận giảm thanh. Các nhân chứng cho biết có ba phát đạn đã được bắn. Một phát vào đầu Sang và hai phát vào lưng. Một xe cứu thương đã mang xác anh ta đi. Các nhân chứng cho biết ngay trước khi bị hành quyết Sang đã bình tĩnh, và hút một điếu thuốc. Anh ta chỉ suy sụp và khóc khi nhìn thấy mẹ tiến lại gần trong nước mắt.

LET THE SILENCE SHOW ME WHERE TO START

LET EACH TRACE OF DARKNESS WITHER AND DEPART

One of twelve installations which constitute the sentence "What are you going to meet if you turn this corner?" — a quote from Virginia Wolf's novel Jacob's Room. By Karsten Huneck & Bernd Truempler for the City of London Corporation’s Culture Mile competition.
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.

I've always wanted to get this sentence tattooed on the left side of my torso. I never had the gust to go and do it cause I'm afraid it'll end up being to big and that would make me tired very soon.
Kenosha Deputy Frank Fabiano Jr's widow, Amy, looks up to the sky in pain during a memorial ceremony in front of the Kenosha Courthouse.

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.
"A tribute to David Brennan attached to a tree on The Madam's Bank Road where he lost his life in April 2009"
On Friday 3rd April 2009, 19 year old Leo Brennan, who was known to his family and friends as David, was struck by a car on Madam's Bank road in Derry/Londonderry and died later as a result of his injuries.
BBC SOURCE...
A member of the family rang David's brother and his father Dermott Brennan at about 0315 BST on Friday to tell them about the accident.
David's mother Denise and brother Dermott arrived as he was receiving treatment from paramedics at the roadside.
"All he had on was his t-shirt and his boxers, there was blood everywhere," his mother said.
"As soon as I saw him I knew he was already gone."
"He just gasped and that was it, he was brain dead, his eyes were open but they never moved, I just knew that was it," she added.
"I just felt numb - I wanted someone to wake me up and say it was a nightmare."
On Thursday12th November, 21-year-old Andrew McGlinchey, who was the driver of the vehicle that struck David and who later set fire to his car before taking a taxi home, appeared in court for sentencing and was told that he will serve half of a four year sentence for causing the teenager's death by careless driving.
David's mother Denise Brennan, who collapsed in court, said the sentence was a "total insult".
She claimed her badly injured son would have survived if the driver had called for help.
"He knew what he was doing and he could have stopped because David's coroner's report said if McGlinchey had stopped David would be here today," she said.
McGlinchey, of Cornshell Fields in the city, admitted causing death by careless driving with excess alcohol in his system.
He also admitted failing to stop, remain or report the accident.
At Londonderry Magistrates Court on Thursday, he was told he would serve two years in jail before being released on licence for another two years.
He was also banned from driving for seven years.
Mr and Mrs Brennan joined me on my final programme on Drive 105 on Friday 20th November to call for the two year jail sentence to be re-examined. Mr. Brennan claimed that Joy-Riders in the area told him that they'd been given a licence to kill by knowing that if anything happened the worst they'd get was two years.
During the interview Mrs Brennan broke down before she and her husband called for those in authority to examine the sentences being handed down in such cases.
On Thursday 3rd December I received an e-mail which said that Mrs Brennan had called to say that she had received a letter from the Public Prosecution Service stating that her appeal will be addressed. She said that ‘her wee voice has been heard because of Drive 105’.
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.
Rugby organised crime gang sentenced to over 100 years in prison
The last four of 24 men arrested by officers investigating an organised crime group responsible for supplying drugs in the Rugby area were sentenced at Northampton Crown Court on Wednesday 11 January 2012 to a total of 12 years and 2 months. Seven others, including John Logue who controlled a number of drug dealers in the Rugby area were sentenced in December 2011.
Senior Investigating Officer Detective Inspector Mark Davison, said “This brings the total the gang has been sentenced to to 100 years and 10 months. We are delighted at these sentences. "
Full Press release can be found here: onlinenews.warwickshire.police.uk/wpnews_pressrelease/rug...
Description from the book: A person, sentenced to transportation, is thus led, by an officer of justice, into the country appointed for his future residence. He carries a mat to serve him as a bed, and a leaf of a palm-tree, to protect him from the weather. Upon his back, his crime, his sentence, and his name, are displayed in conspicuous characters.
This punishment is inflicted upon those, who have struck an elder brother; who have incurred debts by gaming, which they are unable to pay; and for such other offence as appear to render the perpetrator unworthy to continue in his native country.
When offenders are thus conducted into some distant province, they are to be recalled, but, if into Tartary, their banishment is perpetual.
Title: The punishments of China : illustrated by twenty-two engravings: with explanations in English and French.
Call number: 343.2 M399 QUARTO
On 7 November 2019, Trial Chamber VI of the International Criminal Court (“ICC”), unanimously, sentenced Bosco Ntaganda to a total of 30 years of imprisonment. The time Mr Ntaganda has spent in detention at the ICC - from 22 March 2013 to 7 November 2019 - will be deducted from this sentence.
