Two inmates were under investigation in the attack, including Fotios “Freddy” Geas, 51, a West Springfield Mafia hit man serving a life sentence for the 2003 slaying of the leader of the Genovese crime family in Springfield, according to several people briefed on the attack. The men were captured on video surveillance entering Bulger’s cell around 6 a.m., according to one of the people. It was about two hours later that Bulger was found beaten, with his eyes nearly gouged out, the people https://www.bostonglobe.com/...30/james-whitey-bulger-moved-hazelton-federal-prison-west-virginia/2lFAoqNktMi5fjaJ8PWRAI/story.html[3/10/2019 7:32:41 PM] 'Whitey' Bulger dead: Inmate with Mafia ties investigated in killing - The Boston Globe said.

It was meant to send a shudder down the spines of the nation s most incorrigible criminals. It stripped Al Capone of his power. It tamed Machine Gun Kelly into a model of decorum. It took the birds away from the Birdman of Alcatraz. When prisoners boarded the boat for Alcatraz, they knew that they had reached the end of the line. Not only was this the toughest of all Federal penitentiaries, but it was also said to be virtually escape-proof. The island was a natural fortress, separated from the mainland by a narrow strait of freezing water and deadly currents. This prison was the U.S. government s drastic answer to the lawlessness unleashed under Prohibition, which continued throughout the Roaring Twenties and into the teeth of the Great Depression.

  • Whitey Bulger and Prisoner Welfare - the Prindle Post a Requiem of Retribution at a Black Mass: Whitey Bulger and Prisoner Welfare
    8/9/2021 A Requiem of Retribution at a Black Mass: Whitey Bulger and Prisoner Welfare - The Prindle Post A Requiem of Retribution at a Black Mass: Whitey Bulger and Prisoner Welfare By Rachel Robison-Greene - Nov 30, 2018 "554T9816" by Cliff licensed under CC BY 2.0 (Via Flickr). On October 31, 2018, crime boss Whitey Bulger was found beaten to death in a West Virginia prison. Bulger was infamous for racketeering, committing murder, and evading capture for 16 years. His place on the FBI’s most wanted list was second only to Osama Bin Laden. He was finally captured in 2011 at the age of 81. He was convicted for his crimes and sentenced to two consecutive life sentences, but served only six years before more than one fellow inmate beat him to death with a padlock stuffed inside a sock. Bulger was infamous for his crimes and was reasonably well known among the population at large. He was the motivation for Jack Nicholson’s character in Martin Scorsese’s The Departed and his life story was told in the 2015 film Black Mass starring Johnny Depp as Bulger. There were good reasons to think that Bulger might be at a greater risk of victimization while incarcerated than other prisoners. He made many enemies during his career as a mafia boss, and many of those enemies either went to prison themselves or had connections in the prison system. To make matters worse, Bulger was an FBI informant for 15 years, and prisoners don’t tend to be particularly fond of “snitches.” With these considerations in mind, prison administrators might have done well to think carefully about Bulger’s safety in prison.

Fans of Boston teams, specifically the Boston Bruins, are a part of unique fandoms that provide a sense of community, allegiance, and supporting what many fans refer to as “our team”. This study examines how the Boston Bruins organization acts as an agent in the negotiation of identity as fans search for belonging as well as the constructed culture pattern of fans.

  • Reconsidering the Troubles: an Examination of Paramilitary and State Violence in Northern Ireland
    Reconsidering the Troubles: An examination of paramilitary and state violence in Northern Ireland Erica Donaghy 2017 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of International and Global Studies (Honours) in History, University of Sydney. 1 Abstract In the bitter sectarian conflict of the Northern Ireland Troubles, which spanned the years 1966- 1998, culpability has usually been firmly placed in the actions of the Irish Republican Army, a group seeking reunification with the Republic of Ireland. This thesis argues that the roles of Protestant loyalist paramilitaries and state forces such as the British Army and Royal Ulster Constabulary were equally as important. That this importance is not demonstrated in dominant literature remains to be to the detriment of efforts towards reconciliation and the acceptance of shared responsibility, and perpetuates the sectarian divide between Protestant and Catholic communities. 2 Contents Introduction 4 Chapter One: Republicanism and the IRA 11 Chapter Two: Unionism, loyalism and pro-state violence 31 Chapter Three: State Security Forces: the RUC and the British Army 54 Conclusion 71 Bibliography 75 3 Introduction Throughout the Northern Ireland Troubles, and especially in recent historical scholarship on the events of the conflict, primary culpability and the majority of focus has been given to the actions of republican groups and in particular the Irish Republican Army (in Gaelic Óglaigh na hÉireann). In popular memory and collective understanding outside of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland this group exists as a singular entity, responsible for some of Western Europe’s most bloody, destructive and expensive acts of sectarian terrorism.
