    600 Graphic Link Words for Female and Male First Names and Faces by Ron White and Lew Toulmin These are names and images to be used to remember names and faces. Focus on the person whose first name you are trying to remember, select a feature (“the file”) on his/her face that is distinctive, then place the image below onto the file, “seeing” it clearly in your mind’s eye. These images are drawn from my (Lew Toulmin’s) background and interest in history, aviation and foreign travel; you may wish to develop images of your own that link to the name of the person. Many of these images come from or were modified from Ron White’s excellent “Black Belt Memory” course, which is recommended. The most popular names are marked on the right with a number sign (#) and the relevant ranking.

By By Shane Bauer | Thu Jun. 23, 2016 8:13 AM EDT Title Image: Chapter 1 http://www.motherjones.com/print 1/54 6/28/2016 My Four Months as a Private Prison Guard: A Mother Jones Investigation "Inmates Run This Bitch" Chapter 2 Prison Experiments Chapter 3 The CCA Way Chapter 4 "You Got to Survive" Chapter 5 Lockdown Chapter 1: "Inmates Run This Bitch" Have you ever had a riot?" I ask a recruiter from a prison run by the Corrections Corporation of America [1] (CCA). "The last riot we had was two years ago," he says over the phone. "Yeah, but that was with the Puerto Ricans!" says a woman's voice, cutting in. "We got rid of them." "When can you start?" the man asks. I tell him I need to think it over. I take a breath. Am I really going to become a prison guard? Now that it might actually happen, it feels scary and a bit extreme. I started applying for jobs in private prisons because I wanted to see the inner workings of an industry that holds 131,000 [3] of the nation's 1.6 million prisoners [3]. As a journalist, it's nearly impossible to get an unconstrained look inside our penal system. When prisons do let reporters in, it's usually for carefully managed tours and monitored interviews with inmates.

  • Report on Cases in Which Remedy Was Not Achieved Even Using the Procedure Under Section 20 of the Public Defender of Rights Act
    Ref. No.: KVOP-17063/2020/S Report on cases in which remedy was not achieved even using the procedure under Section 20 of the Public Defender of Rights Act In accordance with Section 24 (1)(b) of Act No. 349/1999 Coll., on the Public Defender of Rights, as amended, I provide information to the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic on cases where adequate remedial measures were not achieved even by means of notifying the superior authority or the Government, or by informing the public of the findings obtained in inquiries under Section 20 of the Public Defender of Rights Act. A. The option for inmates to use various things when serving a custodial sentence (File No. 4003/2019/VOP)1 The former Public Defender of Rights suggested to the Director of the Rapotice Prison that, as a remedial measure, the prison should enable the complainant to use a CD player with headphones for learning a foreign language. Furthermore, she suggested that convicts should be allowed to wear T-shirts of any colour in the prison, including printed T-shirts unless the motive seemed generally inappropriate (only black and white t-shirts without print are currently permitted), and that they also be permitted to combine the institutional clothing with their own accessories (e.g. own caps and hats, scarfs and gloves). The Director of the Rapotice Prison did not adopt the suggested remedial measures and the Public Defender of Rights therefore used the option of informing the General Directorate of the Prison Service of the Czech Republic about the above.

  • 21.5 Right to Appear in Civilian Clothes A
    Ch. 21: Personal Rights of Defendant (Jan. 2018) 21.5 Right to Appear in Civilian Clothes A. Basis of Right B. Preservation of Issue for Appeal _____________________________________________________________ 21.5 Right to Appear in Civilian Clothes A. Basis of Right Federal constitution. Trial of a defendant in prison garb has been recognized as an affront to the dignity of the proceedings and as jeopardizing a defendant’s due process right to a fair trial; thus, the State may not compel a defendant to appear for trial before a jury in identifiable prison or jail clothing. The constant reminder of a defendant’s condition implicit in prison attire may affect a juror’s judgment and thereby endanger the presumption of innocence by creating an unacceptable risk that the jury will impermissibly consider that circumstance in rendering its verdict. Unlike the need to impose physical restraints on unruly defendants, “compelling an accused to wear jail clothing furthers no essential state policy.” Estelle v. Williams, 425 U.S. 501, 505 (1976). The U.S. Supreme Court in Estelle also recognized that defendants who are compelled to stand trial in prison garb are usually “only those who cannot post bail prior to trial” and to “impose the condition on one category of defendant, over objection, would be repugnant to the concept of equal justice embodied in the Fourteenth Amendment.” Id. at 505–06. Whether a defendant was prejudiced by being compelled to stand trial while wearing prison attire is subject to harmless error analysis on appeal. The State has the burden of showing that the error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt.
