I have visited in 2009 the sadly famous prison S-21 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. It was extremely sad. In my opinion, the sentence should have been "Life imprisonment" for this monster.
Tuol Sleng - Le musée de Tuol Sleng est un ancien lycée (Tuol Svay Prey : la colline du manguier sauvage) situé à Phnom Penh, la capitale du Cambodge, qui a été transformé par les Khmers rouges en centre de détention, de torture et d'exécution entre 1975 et 1979. Le lycée avait alors comme nom secret prison de Sécurité 21 ou S-21. Sur les 17 000 à 20 000 prisonniers de Tuol Sleng, personne ne s'est échappé. À la libération du camp, il y avait sept survivants. De 1975 à 1979, quelques 17.000 personnes ont été incarcérées à Tuol Sleng (selon certaines estimations le nombre serait aussi élevé que 20.000, bien que le nombre réel est inconnu). À tout moment, il se trouvait dans la prison entre 1 000-1 500 prisonniers. Ils ont été torturés à plusieurs reprises et contraints de nommer des membres de leur famille et de leurs proches collaborateurs, qui ont été à leur tour arrêtés, torturés et tués. Dans les premiers mois de l’ouverture de S-21, la plupart des victimes étaient de l'ancien régime de Lon Nol et incluait des soldats, des responsables gouvernementaux, ainsi que des universitaires, médecins, enseignants, étudiants, ouvriers, moines, ingénieurs, etc. Ultérieurement, la paranoïa de la direction du parti se tourna contre ses propres rangs et des purges dans tout le pays ont amené des milliers de militants du parti et leur famille à Tuol Sleng et il furent par la suite assassinés. Parmi les personnes arrêtées figuraient même les plus élevés politiciens de la hiérarchie communiste comme Khoy Thun, Vorn Vet et Nim Hu. Bien que la raison officielle de leur arrestation fût «espionnage», ces hommes peuvent avoir été vu par le chef des Khmers rouges, Pol Pot, comme dirigeants potentiels d'un coup d'Etat contre lui. Les familles des prisonniers ont souvent été regroupées en masse pour y être interrogées et, plus tard, assassinées au centre d'extermination Choeung Ek (Champ d’extermination) .
Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum - The Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum is a museum in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. The site is a former high school which was used as the notorious Security Prison 21 (S-21) by the Khmer Rouge regime from its rise to power in 1975 to its fall in 1979. Tuol Sleng means "Hill of the Poisonous Trees" or "Strychnine Hill". On the 17 000 to 20 000 prisonners of Tuol Sleng, no one has ever escaped. At the liberation, there were only 7 survivors. From 1975 to 1979, an estimated 17,000 people were imprisoned at Tuol Sleng (some estimates suggest a number as high as 20,000, although the real number is unknown). At any one time, the prison held between 1,000-1,500 prisoners. They were repeatedly tortured and coerced into naming family members and close associates, who were in turn arrested, tortured and killed. In the early months of S-21's existence, most of the victims were from the previous Lon Nol regime and included soldiers, government officials, as well as academics, doctors, teachers, students, factory workers, monks, engineers, etc. Later, the party leadership's paranoia turned on its own ranks and purges throughout the country saw thousands of party activists and their families brought to Tuol Sleng and murdered. Those arrested included some of the highest ranking communist politicians such as Khoy Thoun, Vorn Vet and Hu Nim. Although the official reason for their arrest was "espionage", these men may have been viewed by Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot as potential leaders of a coup against him. Prisoners' families were often brought en masse to be interrogated and later murdered at the Choeung Ek extermination center (Killing fields).

President Barack Obama on Monday commuted the sentences of 46 federal inmates convicted of non-violent drug offenses, a gesture whereby he intended to emphasize the need for reform of the U.S. criminal justice system.
The sentences will be commuted and will expire on Nov. 10, the White House said in a communique.
Practically all the prisoners who were freed by the president would have already completed their sentences if they had been convicted under current laws, presidential counsel Neil Eggleston said in a White House blog post.
The announcement comes three days before Obama is to become the first sitting president to visit a federal prison - the medium-security facility in El Reno, Oklahoma - and one day before he is to deliver a speech in which he will propose ideas for making the justice system fairer and reducing massive jailing of non-violent drug offenders.
"We spend over $80 billion a year incarcerating people who oftentimes have only been engaged in nonviolent drug offenses," said Obama on Monday in a video posted on the White House's official Facebook page.
The prisoners whose prison terms were commuted had been sentenced to "more than 20 years" in jail for their drug offenses, and 14 had been sentenced to life.
"Their punishments didn't fit the crime," Obama said, adding that he thought these people deserved a second chance.
Their sentences were handed down in accord with harsh policies that prevailed during the so-called "war on drugs" that, starting in the 1980s, increased the severity of sentences for producing, possessing or distributing illegal drugs.
Among the prisoners to be released is Joseph Burgos of Chicago, who in 1993 was sentenced to 30 years behind bars for distributing cocaine, and Juan Diego Castro, of Laredo, Texas, sentenced in 2002 to 20 years for possession of more than 5 kg of cocaine with intention to distribute it.
To date, Obama has made only rare use of the presidential power of pardon and commutation.
With Monday's announcement, the president had commuted 89 inmates' sentences since he took office in 2009, according to White House spokesman Josh Earnest, who commented on the matter in his daily press conference.
Obama mentioned the need to reform the criminal justice system in his State of the Union address in January.
Earnest said on Monday that now is the time to push for reform of the criminal justice system because many Republicans have given "signals" that they support the idea, something that is crucial for moving forward on that because they control both chambers of Congress. EFE

In explaining to my Korean language pupil why his idea for categorizing Korean parts of speech was inadequate, I mentioned grammatical sentence diagrams (a guilty pleasure from 6th grade!)
He was unfamiliar, so looked them up on his computer. Just behind the screen I'm photographing, he is writing sentences I gave him so I could look at these beauties. I'm such a geek. :)
This was my personal fav.
D/FW's own The Sentenced playing last night at Three Links in the Deep Ellum section of Dallas, TX.

The sons of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, sentenced to death for passing information on the atomic bomb to the Soviet Union, take part in a demonstration seeking clemency with their grandmother in front of the White House June 14, 1953—days before their parents’ execution.
From left to right: Robert Rosenberg, 6; Sophie Rosenberg; and Michael Rosenberg, 10.
The Rosenbergs and a third man, Morton Sobell, were tried together for passing classified information to the Soviet Union related to an atomic bomb.
Part of the prosecution strategy was to emphasize their ties to the Communist Party at a time when hysteria over communists in the U.S. was at an all time high during the Cold War and with U.S. troops battling in Korea against forces aided by both the Soviet Union and the People’s Republic of China.
The Rosenbergs were convicted, sentenced to death and then executed June 19, 1953 despite an international outcry for clemency. Sobell served 17 ½ years of a 30 year sentence.

An American-Iranian pastor has been sentenced to eight years in an Iranian prison for his Christian faith.
Judge Pir-Abassi, known as Tehran’s “hanging judge,” sentenced Saeed Abedini to eight years in Evin Prison for “Christian activities” in Iran, according to the Washington-based American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), which has been representing Abedini’s family and fighting for his release.
Jordan Sekulow, ACLJ’s Executive Director, says the whole case was a sham and hinged on the “evidence” of Abedini’s involvement more than ten years ago in Iran’s house church movement, “which under then-president [Mohammad] Khatami, were not perceived as a threat to Iran.” Despite Iranian law requiring a written verdict, Sekulow says none was given.
“Here’s the troubling reality,” Sekulow said. “A U.S. citizen who has been beaten and tortured since his imprisonment last fall, is now facing eight years in Evin Prison, one of the most brutal prisons in Iran.”
Sekulow is calling on the international community to demand Saeed’s release and says he’s especially troubled that the Obama administration has been silent about the issue. “The response from the State Department and the White House on behalf of this U.S. citizen being persecuted and beaten in Iran for his faith is absolutely abysmal,” Sekulow says. “It is shameful that our government has thus far basically abandoned this American citizen.”
Although spared the death sentence by a judge known for his harsh sentences, Pastor Saeed Abedini now faces a long stretch confinement in one of Iran’s most brutal prisons. Imprisoned and persecuted for his faith, his story is one that should move the hearts of both Christians and Jews and all freedom loving peoples. Pray for Pastor Abedini and his family as they walk through this trial of faith (James 1:1-3) and pray that the U.S. government will intercede on his behalf so that he once again might be free to return to America.

In the heart of Vienna lies the abbey of Our Lady to the Scots, the habitat of Benedictine monks who know themselves addressed by this sentence from the book of Psalms in person.

Following the Benedictine rules, the monastery but provides also very specific services. In the spirit of Benedictine hospitality the Schottenstift offers »monastery for a limited time", in the as a bed and breakfast run Benediktushaus guests from all over the world are welcome. 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.
Schottenstift Deed - © Schottenstift
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.

The high altar of the original Gothic collegiate church was removed about 1640. Today, the altar of the "Wiener Scots Master (Schottenmeister)", originating from 1469 to 1480, is a masterpiece of late Gothic painting in Austria and the center of the museum in Schottenstift. History, development process, workshop operations, among others, illustrates an informative documentary, which complement the successor works to Flemish painting of the 17th Century by Josse de Momper the Younger and David Vinckboons.
In Schottenstift the Interested visitor finds in addition to major religious paintings (among others by Peter Paul Rubens, Jan Cossiers and Giovanni Battista Pittoni), portrait and landscape painting of the 17th and 18th Century (eg by Johann Christian Brand, Christian Seybold, Christoph Paudiss and Simon de Vos) and Vienna Biedermeier painting by Johann Baptist Drechsler, Johann Knapp, Thomas Ender and Johann Peter Krafft. Works of the Dutch and Austrian still life painting of the 17th and 18th Century complement the valuable private collection. The large-sized former Baroque high altar painting by Joachim von Sandrart »The heavenly glory" (1671) in Prälatensaal is, like the lecture hall with works of Austrian baroque painters, as Peter Paul Strudel and Tobias Pock, integrated into the museum complex.

Burglary is the criminal offense of breaking and entering into a building illegally for the purpose of committing a crime. It is usually classified as a felony and a sentence of a year of more in jail. Alarm systems in houses are becoming more popular because people are breaking into homes everyday.
This layout documents the first complete sentence my youngest son every wrote. It is special because my son has developmental delays and it has been a struggle for him to learn to read and write. I was so surprised when he wrote this sentence. I immediately tore the paper out and saved it because I knew I would want to scrap it.
