  • Village Weapons Had Beaten No
    VILLAGE ARSENAL (from Free For All magazine, 2006) Throughout the Prisoner series we see many fascinating weapons used by the Village. Whether the giant white guardian sphere (once referred to as Rover) can be classed as part of the weaponry is for debate. Also, the methods of coercion, containment and brainwashing provide other psychological methods. It is interesting to look at all of the items in the arsenal available to No. 2 and his security team, administrators and supervisors. In Dance of the Dead, No. 2 refers to “this panoply of splendour” and it is a comment which always perplexes. Is she referring to the arsenal of weapons in the Village, giving the expression its true meaning? A panoply would, for example, in olden times be a splendid suit of armour. The Village may well have defence systems, although it seems that all we ever see in episodes are instruments of aggression. Of course, nowadays, whether a country is claiming its weapons are defensive or offensive is often a moot point. Whatever the situation, let’s take an episode-by-episode trip through the armoury and wouldn’t it have been fun if there had been a Village “Q” character, as in the James Bond movies. In Arrival we are introduced to a number of systems or controls which feature in other stories. The element of coercion and containment is introduced early on; here it is obvious from the scene in the central piazza when the young man is killed by the white ball. Much of the weaponry could be described as security devices: see-through-wall cameras, statue seeing-eye cameras, remote control of helicopters.

  • Prisoner Sayings’
    ‘PRISONER SAYINGS’ There are plenty of phrases heard in The Prisoner, plus others which are quite apt. Here are the ones heard or seen in episodes, plus more suggestions: Above the law (Once Upon a Time): someone who thinks the law does not apply to him or her, or a person claiming immunity from prosecution. According to Hoyle (Free For All): following the rules or established procedure. Edmond Hoyle in 1742 published a handbook on the card game Whist. His book became a metaphor for abiding by all rules. Back to square one (unused): doing something over again, as with a board game, requiring a player to return to the starting point. That's the way the ball bounces (unused): originating in the USA in the middle of the last century, meaning the unpredictability of the direction in which a ball will bounce in a game such as football. Beyond the pale (Once Upon A Time): outside the bounds of something, such as decency or accepted behaviour. Derived from the Latin palus, meaning stake, such as that which would be used in forming a fence, hence 'beyond the boundary'. Brainwashing (unused): To 'clean out' unwanted data from a person's mind, controlling their thinking and ideas. The condition is brought about either by physiological or physical torture, or perhaps disorientation and even forms of coercion. Cat got your tongue? (unused): a suggestion is that the 19th century punishment whip "cat-o'-nine-tails" would silence a victim through fear, another claim is that the domestic pet's habit of staring quietly would cause an onlooker to fall silent pondering what the cat might be thinking.

  • Gb 1456 Thomas
    GERALD THOMAS COLLECTION GERALD THOMAS COLLECTION SCOPE AND CONTENT Documents relating to the career of director GERALD THOMAS (Born Hull 10/12/1920, died Beaconsfield 9/11/1993). When Gerald Thomas died, his producer partner of 40 years Peter Rogers said: ‘His epitaph will be that he directed all the Carry On films.’ Indeed, for an intense 20-year period Thomas directed the Carry On gang through their innuendo laden exploits, and became responsible, along with Rogers, for creating one of the most enduring and endearing British film series, earning him his place in British popular culture. Thomas originally studied to become a doctor, before war service with the Royal Sussex Regiment put paid to his medical career. When demobilised in 1946, he took a job as assistant in the cutting rooms of Two Cities Films at Denham Studios, where he took Assistant Editor credits on Laurence Olivier’s Hamlet (1948) and the John Mills thriller The October Man (1947). In 1949, he received his first full credit as editor, on the Margaret Lockwood melodrama Madness of the Heart (1949). During this time Peter Rogers had been working as associate producer with his wife, producer Betty Box, on such films as It’s Not Cricket (1949) and Don’t Ever Leave Me (1949). It was Venetian Bird in 1952 that first brought Thomas and Rogers together; Thomas employed as editor by director brother Ralph, and Rogers part of the producer team with Betty Box. Rogers was keen to form a director/producer pairing (following the successful example of Box and Ralph Thomas), and so gave Gerald his first directing credit on the Circus Friends (1956), a Children’s Film Foundation production.

D Chairperson Minsoo Kang, Ph.D. Carlos Schwantes, Ph.D. Huesing 2 Abstract British spy fiction author John le Carré inspired Cultural Détente, a movement in American popular culture which banished the simplicities of the 1950’s and replaced it with a relaxation of tensions from 1960-1965. Cultural Détente manifested from within Western liberal, democratic society after the strict conformities of the 1950s. After the dissipation of McCarthyism and the anti-Communist crusaders, the public was ready to embrace a ‘thaw’ in tensions. Even with all of the evidence already in place, there has yet to be any historical evaluation of a 1960s Cultural Détente that anticipated and made possible the détente of Richard Nixon.

In fact, the incarceration rates of white and Hispanic women in particular are growing more rapidly than those of other demographic groups Guerino et al. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics report Probation and Parole in the United States, , Appendix Table 3, 98, adults exited probation to incarceration under their current sentence; Appendix Table 7 shows 69, adults were returned to incarceration from parole with a revocation. See Wright The percentage of federal prisons offering vocational training also has been increasing, from 62 percent in to 98 percent in The social contact permitted with chaplains, counselors, psychologists,. We discuss each of these limitations in turn. Rehabilitation—the goal of placing people in prison not only as punishment but also with the intent that they eventually would leave better prepared to live a law-abiding life—had served as an overarching rationale for incarceration for nearly a. This represents an increase of approximately 17 percent over the numbers held in and, based on the current Bureau of Prisons prisoner population, indicates that approximately 15, federal inmates are confined in restricted housing. If someone convicted of robbery is arrested years later for a liquor law violation, it makes no sense to view this very different, much less serious, offense the same way we would another arrest for robbery.
