This is a direction we can begin to look at instead of the penal colonies which we are seeing now." Culhane finds the distinction between victim and offender in society frustrating.

Yamaha CD-3 With Remote Control In her latest book Culhane quotes from the book 1984 and After 1984 that "prisons are for those who can't afford the cost of legal protection, for those who dare to be poor and who refuse to live gratefully and passively on meagre handouts, for those YamahaCD-3 who are born into a social-economic posi tion which deprives them of education and dare to use other means to seek escape from their demeanin'k poverty, for native peo ple, whose dignified way of life has been stripped away by the white man and replaced with the dehumanising and deadly life of alcohol, for women who refuse any longer to be subjected to routine beatings from a man and who dare to fight back, and for women whose socialized and economic dependency on men, and fear of them, draws them into criminal complicity.'' The rule of the law does not stop at the entrance of the prison gate for Culhane. What makes assualt outside the prison also makes it assault inside the prison, she says. "The ways that prisoners are treated today will be reflected in how they act tomorrow. "How much longer is it going to take before people who are resisting the growth of prisons and the destruction of the envir onment are going to be put in prisons? "About three thousand people are being held in prison in the US for resistance, " she says. "How long will it be if we grant the government the right to use capital pun ishment now, on basis of the Clifford Olsons, before it is used in the interests of protecting national security?" asks Cul hane. "We must understand, and this is my strongest argument about capital punish ment, that we are handing a mechanism to the government that this year will deal with those types of culprits (Clifford Olsons ).
