  • Prison Escapes 8
    PRISON ESCAPES 8 Amazing Prison Escape In France A gang used rocket launchers and heavy weapons to blow open the outer doors of a French prison and free one of the inmates in a spectacular jail break. A group of at least four men in police uniform attacked the prison in Fresnes, south of Paris, to free Antonio Ferrara, an Italian national convicted of armed robbery who had already escaped from jail once. The men fired repeatedly with rocket launchers at the prison doors to blow them open and at the watchtowers, causing serious damage but no injuries. They entered the prison through two separate doors and then passed explosives to Ferrara, who used them to blast through the bars over his cell window and escape, in the third jail break this year in France. The entire operation at the Fresnes prison, home to some 1,800 inmates, only lasted 15 minutes. Ferrara, 29 -- who was sentenced in January to eight years in prison for two bank hold- ups committed in 1997 -- fled with his accomplices in a waiting car, which police believe had been stolen and fitted with false license plates. The fugitive, also known as "Succo", escaped from prison in 1998 during a doctor's visit with the help of an accomplice, and unsuccessfully attempted to break out of La Sante prison in central Paris last summer by using explosives. French Justice Minister Dominique Perben, who rushed to the scene immediately following the incident, deplored what he called a "military-type operation", saying the culprits had used "weapons of war".

    POWER ENGINEERS, INC The Proposed Rocky Creek or Quarry to Lewis Creek 230 kV Transmission Line USFWS Delisted Species The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) was delisted in 2007 by the USFWS, because the population has recovered beyond the ESA criteria for listing. The status of the bald eagle population is currently monitored by the USFWS and the species is still afforded federal protection under the MBTA and the BGEPA. Bald eagles may occur as summer and/or winter residents in Texas. Eagles typically nest from October to July. The bald eagle is found primarily near rivers and large lakes and will build large nests in tree tops or on cliffs usually near large bodies of water. TXNDD (2016) data identifies several occurrences of this species within the study area surrounding the northern portion of Lake Conroe and the San Jacinto River. This species is known to occur within the study area as a breeding and wintering resident where suitable habitat is present (Campbell 2003; Lockwood and Freeman 2014). The peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) was federally delisted in 1999 due to recovering populations. However, the peregrine falcon is included by TPWD on their annotated county list as a threatened species and the listing includes two subspecies: the American peregrine falcon (F.p. anatum) and arctic peregrine falcon (F.p. tundrius) due to similarities in appearance (TPWD 2016c). The American peregrine falcon nests in the mountains of the Trans-Pecos and is a rare migrant statewide; but it occupies many kinds of habitats during migration, including urban. Stopover habitat during migration typically includes lake shores, coastlines, and barrier islands and the falcon is also a resident breeder in west Texas (Lockwood and Freeman 2014; TPWD 2016c).

Neucere December, 2015 INMATES ON DISPLAY: THE REINFORCEMENT OF SOCIAL EXCLUSION AND SILENCES THROUGH THE PRESENTATION OF HISTORY AT THE TEXAS PRISON MUSEUM by Elizabeth M. Neucere ______________ APPROVED: Brian Domitrovic, PhD Thesis Director Lila Rakoczy, PhD Committee Member Uzma Quraishi, PhD Committee Member Abbey Zink, PhD Dean, College of Humanities and Social Sciences ABSTRACT Neucere, Elizabeth M., Inmates on display: The reinforcement of social exclusion and silences through the presentation of history at the Texas prison museum. Master of Arts (Public History), December, 2015, Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas. The aim of this research is to provide an understanding of how the representation of an ostracized social group, that also happens to be a stakeholder, is affected by museum exhibits. Moreover, it intends to provide critical analysis of the presentation of controversial topics in the field of prison tourism. This will be done through a case study of the Texas Prison Museum, examining its displays on capital punishment and inmate punishment, arguably the most controversial topics in the museum. The Texas Prison Museum’s displays of these two topics create silences in the Texas prison system’s history through symbolic annihilation. Moreover, it also silences discourses that relate to these topics, like human and prisoner rights.

TDCJ is responsible for criminal justice throughout the state for adult offenders, including the management of offenders in public prisons, public prisons and private corrections, funding and some oversight of public oversight, and oversight of offenders released from prison on parole or mandatory supervision. TDCJ operates the largest prison system in the United States. The department is headquartered in the BOT complex in Huntsville, and the offices are located in the Price Daniel Sr. Building in downtown Austin. In 1848, the Texas Legislature passed the State Prison Act, which created a supervisory board to manage the treatment of convicts and the prison administration. The land was purchased in Huntsville and Rask for later facilities. The prison system began as a single institution located in Huntsville. The second penitentiary center, the Rusk prison, began accepting convicts in January 1883. Before Ruiz against.
