Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} A Prisoner's Welcome by Shane Moore A Prisoner's Welcome by Shane Moore. Shane Moore. Shane Moore is a detective with the Gillespie Police Department (Illinois). His debut novel is A Prisoner's Welcome . Shane Moore describes his work as a fantasy similar to Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter, but with much heavier writing and themes which are best suited for the adult reader. Shane Moore is the author of Albion: Peace in our Time; The Trial of Innocence; Darrion-Quieness; The Breach of Crowns; Albion; The Plea of Apollisian; and A Prisoner’s Welcome. According to the book description of The Plea of Apollisian , “On a dark misty morn under a silver sickle moon a child will be born to the fallen mistress of mercy. Within this child reside secrets as dark as any moonless night yet a bright desire for good things befalls him. Many mystics and shamans have foretold of it but no one headed there warning. until now. As the goddess of mercy falls from the heavens the world begins to unravel. The relationship of long time allies' strain under mounting pressure from unfair treatment forcing the hand of Clan Stoneheart's new leader. Tensions mount and talks waver as a division of warriors lead by a renegade general march in secret to bath Beykla in its own blood. Can one man stand against this onslaught of vengeance?. Will his own kingdom hear his plea?” One reader of Albion said it “is a bit confusing to a Yank like me. The comics discussed are British in origin, but are no less fascinating. The writing is gripping and the art is fantastic. It has made me want to learn more about these characters, and can be considered another feather in Moore's cap.” Booklist said of Albion, “Superstar comics scripter Moore made much of his early reputation by refurbishing hoary old superheroes with new trappings. Here he's up to the same trick, but Albion is unlikely to have the same impact, since the figures revived are from British boys' adventure comics of the 1960s and 1970s. The setup: the Spider, Grimly Feendish, the Steel Claw, and Captain Hurricane have been imprisoned by the government for decades, and now one of their daughters is out to free them. Obviously, the nostalgia factor that likely will make this a hit with British comics fans won't be in play on this side of the pond. Furthermore, Moore came up with only the plotline and left full scripting to his daughter, Leah, and her husband, John Reppion. They are capable but not in the same class as the elder Moore, who would have smoothed such rough edges as a critical lack of character development. Shane Oakley's visual approach dispenses with the dated looks of the original comics, but his decidedly modern style sacrifices clarity to flamboyance.” According to the book description of Darrion-Quieness , “The drums of war echo through out the realm as the dwarven clan's march towards the gathering might of the Beyklans. While Lance fights to survive as a slave and Jude is forced to stand trial for murder the fates conspire to condemn the wicked god-king about the whispered prophecy. The world squirms against the confining grip of destiny unsure of its own fortitude and a growing fear that the fabric of existence will unravel in the path of the Abyss Walker?” One reader of A Prisoner's Welcome said, it “is a rare fantasy that lacks the troupes of almost every fantasy novel out there. It starts out with young Lancalion searching for a person to read some parchments that are supposed to detail the murder of his parents-an orphan with power trying to discover the one responsible for his parents murder-SAME OLD troupe! That is where it all changes. Moore takes us on a whirlwind ride with politics. deceit, trickery, and backstabbing on a grand scale. You soon discover that young Lance is not the hero of the story, he is in fact the prophetic villain! Moore uses his police background to paint the thoughts of villains so accurately you begin to relate with them! I found myself pitying the monster that was directly responsible for the murder of thousands! At the end of each chapter Moore has included a "reflection" where Lancalion speaks about that particular portion of the story and what his thoughts were at the time he experienced them. This action packed Fantasy was loaded with symbolism and deep rooted societal issues that reminded me of a cross between Phil Dick and Robert Jordan. Much like Jordan, there was a little too much "fluff" at times, but it is clear Moore is well on his way to a great career as a writer!” According to the book description of The Trial of Innocence , “The deep heart of winter stirs within the shadows of the world. Its icy fingers stretch forth to cover the lands of man in a grip of frozen death. While the massive white dragon Darrion-Quieness considers the request from the bloodthirsty tyrant Hector De Scoran another associate of the cold steps into the contest against the warmth of man. Negative forces begin to show their hand as Lance struggles to understand his place in this world. Will he fulfill the murmured prophecy of be dragged into the Abyss like so many others.” One reader/reviewer of Shane Moore’s novel said, “ A Prisoner's Welcome is a rare fantasy that lacks the troupes of almost every fantasy novel out there. It starts out with young Lancalion searching for a person to read some parchments that are supposed to detail the murder of his parents- an orphan with power trying to discover the one responsible for his parents murder-SAME OLD troupe!

I remember as if it were yesterday the beginning of my fourth form year at Kawerau High School. It was packed to the rafters, mostly with Māori kids like me; cheeky, full of life. We weren’t big into career planning at the time but, if you’d asked, most of the boys would’ve said we wanted, or at least expected, to follow in our dads’ footsteps – get a job at the mill, earn a good wage, build a family, make a life. Maybe, if we were good enough, play for the local rugby club, even get a reps jersey. Modest aspirations, maybe, but it was enough. These were good kids from good families. The next year, Rogernomics descended and unemployment hit like a thunderbolt. Towns like mine have yet to recover. To this day, three decades later, the jobless rate in Kawerau remains three times higher than the national average. Many of the men and women laid off in the late eighties never worked again; in fact, many of the whānau I know have endured three generations of unemployment. As unemployment rose, and hope for the future receded, things went haywire. As we left the fourth form, the numbers in our class dropped dramatically. But the boys weren’t ending up at the mill. Many, way too many, went to borstal instead. In fact, by the time I left the fifth form, only five boys from my year managed to avoid doing a stint. Steal a bike? Off to borstal. Get into a fight? Off you go. From borstal, most went to adult prison, doing short stints for burglary or breaking and entering. As I reflect on my schoolmates, and the guys who ended up behind bars, I can see three distinct categories. The first, and by far the smallest, cohort were genuinely antisocial kids who grew into antisocial adults who have no one to blame but themselves. The second were kids from homes rendered so broken, so dysfunctional, by poverty and hopelessness that prison almost came as respite. Finally, there were kids who, in retrospect, were wrestling with learning, behavioural or psychological issues we had little means to recognise, let alone address, in the eighties. Mental health services weren’t just scarce; I doubt we would have understood what the phrase meant. The criminal justice system was a hammer and kids like these were nails. Punishment was the only paradigm. Cycling in and out of prison, many of my old classmates became so institutionalised, it became the only place where they knew how to function. In light of the Government’s eye-popping (not to mention welcome and overdue) rollout of major reforms last week – in health and local government – it’s perhaps unsurprising the first significant steps on prison reform attracted modest attention when Corrections Minister Kelvin Davis announced them on Friday. But the launch of Māori Pathways at Hawke’s Bay Regional Prison was nonetheless welcome news. The initiatives include a kaupapa Māori approach to prisoner rehabilitation called Tēnei Au, which will assist Māori men in high-security prisons. Prisoners aged 30 and under will take priority as the Government says those men have the highest recidivism rates. Davis said that reducing the prison population overall, and tackling the grotesque over-representation of Māori in particular, is “a top priority”. So it should be. We’re quick to shake our head at injustice elsewhere, especially in the United States of late, but in terms of incarceration rates, Māori are considerably worse off than blacks in America. Despite making up a similar share of the overall population, one in every three US inmates is African-American, compared to New Zealand, where fully half are Māori. Our lives matter here, too. It was fitting that Ngāti Kahungunu chief executive Chrissie Hape shared the stage with Davis in Hawke’s Bay. To be successful, any effort at prison reform must have iwi, hapū and whānau at the heart. Taken together with Andrew Little and Peeni Henare’s health reforms, the Māori Pathways programme signals an encouraging mindset shift on the part of the Crown. It envisages a role for mana whenua far beyond the merely symbolic and ceremonial. It was developed by Māori experts in tikanga and trauma-informed care, and Ngāti Kahungunu will deliver the services. On both sides of politics, our approach to law and order has for too long been driven by populist impulses over clear-headed, evidence-based policies. With last week’s announcement, Labour at least has indicated a willingness to chart a different course. As for National, the signs are less encouraging. By giving the Corrections and Police portfolios to one of their most socially conservative MPs, Simeon Brown, it’s clear the party continues to care more about political than policy gains. Not a single word uttered by Brown suggests he even recognises – or cares – about system-wide failures in justice and corrections. He seems to think we just haven’t been punitive or reactionary enough – seemingly oblivious to the fact doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result, is better known as a definition of insanity than as a basis for wise public policy. I dedicate this article to my old school mates. For many, I wish they’d had better lives – they deserved better. Here’s to a better future for us all. "Who is in Jail?" The search term "Who is in Jail?" was searched over 16 million times on Google worldwide last month, with over 9 million of those searches coming from within the United States. Privacy and ethics issues aside, the public demand for offender information is staggering and likely to continue to be strong for many years. Already the public has online access to inmate lookup and inmate search services for most states in the U.S. And while data on personal information used to be limited to fields such as full name and offender number (or booking number in the case of county jail detainees), search services today are much broader and more open-ended, including variables such as most recent conviction, past conviction, sentence length, the name of the institution, institution number/identifier, inmate status, admission and release decision dates, parole date, discharge date, tentative discharge date, and sometimes the complete history of where the inmate was incarcerated throughout his or her prison life. Often, vital characteristics are also listed, including distinguishing marks, gang tatoos, and race/ethnicity. Recently, the Costa Mesa Jail in Orange County, California, as part of their public arrest log, has expanded these inmate data and opened up an inmate's immigration status to the public, as well, making it the only jail in the county to make such information publicly reviewable. As many have argued, US courts have been steadfastly resistant to use the First Amendment to open up juvenile court records to the public, borne by a necessity to protect vulnerable persons from lasting emotional trauma and stigma. Sometimes, however, as is the case in Ohio, these rules concerning privacy and confidentiality can be loosened if the court finds that the interests of public safety outweigh the possibility of harming the accused child. Several high-profile brutal crimes involving children have put pressure on these conventions of secrecy in juvenile courts. For a better discussion of public access to juvenile court proceedings and juvenile records, see "Access to Juvenile Justice" by Kristen Rasmussen (1 April 2012, News Media & the Law). Inmate Search in Canada. Public inmate searches are not available in Canada. Details of an inmate's placement status in Canadian federal institutions is recorded in CSC's Offender Management System (OMS) , but access to the OMS and inmate records requires staff security clearance. Details of a Canadian's criminal record are maintained on the RCMP's Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC). The criminal records available on CPIC are NOT open to the Canadian public, nor are any current inmate rosters, lists of recent arrests or bookings, or active detainees at municipal jails, or local or provincial detention centres. The CPIC is only accessible to Canadian police agencies, and the United States National Crime Information Centre. The Canadian Firearms Registry Online (CFRO) is also part of the CPIC database, and is widely accessible to Canadian police agencies without restriction, but not to the public. Wyn Reed Starred in a Horror Film When She Was Out on Bail for Murder. The real story of Wyn Reed and what she did while she was out on bail for the death of her uncle, Shane Patrick Moore, is stranger than fiction. The crime will be featured on the April 30 episode of the investigative series, Dateline , and it was the subject of the NBC News podcast, Killer Role. Wyn Reed (real name Aisling Tucker Moore-Reed) was a published author, an aspiring actress, and an advocate for feminism when she was arrested in 2016 in connection for the shooting death of her uncle. She claimed that she killed her estranged family member in self-defense, and her mom backed up the story. Wyn Reed was then allowed out on bail, during which time she played a killer in a low-budget horror film. But, a cell phone video soon revealed a different side of the story. The details of the crime and Reed's reaction have captivated the public, and many will likely want to know where she is now. Wyn Reed in 'From the Dark.' Wyn Reed was accused of shooting her uncle, Shane Patrick Moore, in 2016. On July 26, 2016, Shane Patrick Moore was shot in the chest at close range in the Oregon home that he shared with his mom, Lore Moore. His niece, Wyn Reed (who has also gone by Tucker Moore), was soon arrested. She claimed that she killed the 63-year-old in self-defense. A year earlier, Reed had obtained a restraining order against her uncle after she alleged that he had threatened her and assaulted her. His sister, Kelly Moore (who is Reed's mother) also echoed the self-defense story. However, Shane Patrick Moore did not have any defensive wounds on his body, and it didn't appear as if he had attacked anyone prior to his death. Reed was arrested, and she was charged with first and second-degree manslaughter. A $200,000 bail was set, and Reed's family posted the money. While Reed was out on bail, she landed a role in an indie film entitled From the Dark. She played a killer, Valerie Faust, in the "rural murder mystery thriller." The day after production on the film concluded in September of 2018, Wyn Reed was, once again, arrested. A cell phone video taken on Kelly Moore's device offered a different perspective on Shane Patrick Moore's final moments. A cell phone video shed a new light on the murder of Shane Patrick Moore. Prior to that fateful day in July of 2016, Wyn Reed, her mother, and her uncle had reportedly been fighting over the deed to Lore Moore's home. Shane Patrick Moore had been living with his mom there for 15 years, but Kelly Moore and her daughter had been upset with him over the ownership of some of the land. On the day of his death, Shane Patrick Moore had called in a public notary named Carla Tryber to try to get some of the property put in his name. Kelly Moore and her daughter thought that Tryber was there for a will issue. Wyn Reed, Kelly Moore, Lore Moore, and Tryber were all together before anything could be signed. Kelly Moore began recording the meeting on her phone, and her brother entered the home several minutes in. Within a few seconds of Shane Patrick Moore's entrance, Wyn Reed had fired the gun. It was evident that Shane Patrick Moore hadn't attacked anyone first. The video, which has since been released online, features audio of Wyn Reed asking her mother to hide her cell phone. Tryber also spoke with the police after the shooting. She noted that Wyn Reed had fired the gun, though she hadn't seen what transpired leading up to the killing. She left the scene shortly thereafter, as she was in fear for her life. After this video came to light, Wyn Reed was charged with second-degree murder as well. She was held without bail. Where is Wyn Reed now? While Reed was awaiting her trial in prison, she was charged with another crime. In January of 2020, Reed was accused possessing heroin, and for supplying contraband to other inmates. Four months later, Wyn Reed cut a deal, and she pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter. She was sentenced to 75 months in prison, and she is currently serving time in the Coffee Creek Correctional Facility.
