    EASTERN STATE PENITENTIARY A N A TIONAL HIST ORIC LANDMARK 1. History of Eastern State Penitentiary, Philadelphia In the ambitious age of reform following the American Revolution, the new nation aspired to change profoundly its public institutions, and to set an example for the world in social development. Every type of institution that we are familiar with today—educational, medical and governmental—was revolutionized in these years by the rational and humanistic principles of the Enlightenment. Of all of the radical innovations born in this era, American democracy was, of course, the most influ- ential. The second major intellectual export was prison design and reform. Most eighteenth century prisons were simply large holding pens. Groups of adults and children, men and women, and petty thieves and murderers, sorted out their own affairs behind locked doors. Physical punishment and mutilation were common, and abuse of the prisoners by the guards and overseers was assumed. In 1787, a group of well-known and powerful Philadelphians convened in the home of Benjamin Franklin. The members of The Philadelphia Society for Alleviating the Miseries of Public Prisons expressed growing concern with the conditions in American and European prisons. Dr. Benjamin Rush spoke on the Society’s goal, to see the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania set the international standard in prison design. He proposed a radical idea: to build a true penitentiary, a prison designed to create genuine regret and penitence in the criminal’s heart. The concept grew from Enlightenment thinking, but no government had successfully carried out such a program. It took the Society more than thirty years to convince the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to build the kind of prison it suggested: a revolutionary new building on farmland outside Philadelphia.

  • Open Shannon Kahle Final Dissertation.Pdf
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Communications VISUALIZING THE CHAOTIC BODY IN POPULAR CULTURE A Dissertation in Mass Communications by Shannon A. Kahle Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2010 The dissertation of Shannon A. Kahle was reviewed and approved* by the following: Matthew P. McAllister Professor of Communications Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Dennis K. Davis Professor of Communications Matthew Jordan Assistant Professor of Communications Stephen H. Browne Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences John S. Nichols Professor of Communications Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT The proliferation of traumatized bodies on screen is matched by the proliferation of body studies in the humanities and social sciences. The interest in the body has exploded among a number of fields of study and is a staple in visual culture. What is happening in contemporary representation and spectatorship of pain and ‘ruined bodies’? What is the relationship of contemporary visuality, the ruined body, and the social? Finally, what is the mode of selfhood deployed in contemporary visual culture and how is it related to other discursive-institutional realms of practice? In this dissertation I consider three fictional visual texts that elucidate particular institutional realms within which the body is centrally figured; these texts are the medical drama House M.D., the first three films of the horror series Saw, which draws heavily on religious discourse and iconography, and the forensic investigation drama Bones. The purpose is to consider the ways in which these texts represent the practices of each realm as well as the visualization of the body itself and the model of the self and the social deployed in each.

  • SEASON THREE PRODUCTION NOTES “Survivor's Remorse
    SEASON THREE PRODUCTION NOTES “Survivor’s Remorse is a show about an American family thrust into fame and fortune via the world of Pro Basketball. But it’s not about points scored on the court. It’s more about what happens to a family before tipoff and after the final buzzer. It’s about human beings dealing with human challenges and trying to evolve into the best versions of themselves.” -Mike O’Malley Back In Atlanta Season Three of “Survivor’s Remorse” returns with emotional family trauma after Uncle Julius is thrown from his car in a terrible crash. In the aftermath of the accident, the family must cope with issues of loss, acceptance, celebrity and responsibility. However, with Calloway-style flair, this family finds a way to pull each other through the challenges with love, insight and humor. The production filmed once again in Atlanta, where the story is set. Most filming took place at a mansion in Buckhead, an upscale neighborhood in Atlanta. The mansion serves as the Calloway residence, but because of the sheer size of the residence, it has also housed several sets such as a therapist’s office, sports show set and a San Francisco hotel suite. Production Designer Alex Hadju says that the house is the show’s de facto stage, “It’s nice to have one place to house most of our sets, like a studio.” And returning is the talented, sharp and cohesive ensemble cast of RonReaco Lee (Reggie Vaughn), Jessie T. Usher (Cam Calloway), Erica Ash (M-Chuck Calloway), Tichina Arnold (Cassie Calloway), Teyonah Parris (Missy Vaughn), and Mike Epps (Uncle Julius).

  • Punishing Pill Mill Doctors: Sentencing Disparities in the Opioid Epidemic
    Punishing Pill Mill Doctors: Sentencing Disparities in the Opioid Epidemic Adam M. Gershowitz* Consider two pill mill doctors who flooded the streets with oxycodone and other dangerous opioids. The evidence against both doctors was overwhelming. They each sold millions of opioid pills. Both doctors charged addicted patients hundreds of dollars in cash for office visits that involved no physical examinations and no diagnostic tests. Instead, the doctors simply handed the patients opioids in exchange for cash. To maximize their income, both doctors conspired with street dealers to import fake patients — many of them homeless — so that the doctors could write even more prescriptions. Both doctors made millions of dollars profiting off the misery of people addicted to opioids. Even though juries convicted both doctors of similar criminal charges, they received drastically different sentences. The first doctor was sentenced to five years, while the second doctor received a thirty-five-year sentence. This Article reviews twenty-five of the worst opioid pill mill doctors to be sentenced in the last five years, and it details drastic sentencing disparities in the federal system. In more than half the cases, judges departed well below the Federal Sentencing Guidelines to impose sentences that were decades less than would be expected. The sentencing variations in pill mill cases are not driven by traditional explanations such as the trial penalty or the defendant’s criminal history. Instead, the sentencing variations are explained primarily by the age of the doctors. Many pill mill doctors are in their sixties and seventies, and judges appear to be tailoring their sentencing decisions to ensure that older doctors will not spend the rest of their lives in prison.

  • A Defendant's Expression of Remorse Is a Key Mitigating Factor in Sentencing
    EXPLORING REMORSE BEHAVIORS: VERBAL AND NONVERBAL INDICATORS OF AUTHENTIC, EXAGGERATED, AND FEIGNED REMORSE by DESIRÉE ADAMS GRIFFIN STANLEY BRODSKY, PH.D., COMMITTEE CHAIR JUDGE JOHN ENGLAND JEFFREY PARKER, PH.D. STEVEN PRENTICE-DUNN, PH.D. RANDALL SALEKIN, PH.D. A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Psychology in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2011 Copyright Desirée Adams Griffin 2011 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Judges are tasked with discerning whether a defendant‘s remorse presentation is sincere or fabricated. However, there is limited research examining specific verbal and nonverbal behavioral cues associated with remorse. Two studies were conducted to identify behaviors predictive of authentic, exaggerated, and feigned remorse and to investigate judges‘ strategies for assessing defendant remorse. In the first study, 134 college students video-recorded a baseline story in which they were either remorseful or not remorseful for a harm they caused to another individual. They recorded the same story a second time with the instruction of exaggerating or feigning remorse. Coders rated the frequency with which participants engaged in 25 verbal and nonverbal behaviors associated with remorse and deception. Results indicated the majority of the behaviors were displayed infrequently; however individuals who were remorseful were more likely to admit guilt, make a commitment not to recidivate, and express empathy than non- remorseful individuals. Compared to the behavior they exhibited in their baseline stories, participants‘ expressions of empathy and their commitment not to recidivate increased when they exaggerated or feigned remorse; and their smiling and justification of behavior decreased.

  • A Historical/Critical Analysis of the Tv Series the Fugitive
    A HISTORICAL/CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE TV SERIES THE FUGITIVE THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE By David P. Pierson, B.S. Denton, Texas May, 1993 Pierson, David P., A Historical/Critical Analysis Of The TV Series The Fugitive. Master of Science (Radio/TV/Film), May 1993, 168 pp., bibliography, 70 titles. In many respects, the popular 1960's television series, The Fugitive perfectly captured the swelling disillusionment with authority, alienation, and discontent that soon encompassed American society. This historical/critical study provides a broad overview of the economic, social, and political climate that surrounded the creation of The Fugitive. The primary focus of this study is the analysis of five discursive topics (individualism, marriage, justice & authority, professionalism, science and technology) within selected episodes and to show how they relate to broader cultural debates which occurred at that time. Finally, this study argues that The Fui1gitive is a part of a television adventure subgenre which we may classify as the contemporary "wanderer-hero" narrative and traces its evolution through selected television series from the last three decades.

Bronnimann: Remorse in Parole Hearings: An Elusive Concept with Concrete Cons MISSOURI LAW REVIEW VOLUME 85 SPRING 2020 NUMBER 2 Remorse in Parole Hearings: An Elusive Concept with Concrete Consequences Nicole Bronnimann* ABSTRACT Remorse is a profound and complicated emotion and it is one that is evaluated in a surprising number of legal contexts. One particularly high-stakes evaluation of remorse occurs in the context of discretionary parole, when a parole board is deciding whether to release an inmate back to the community. This Article explains the arguments justifying the evaluation of remorse in parole hearings, evaluates how remorse is directly and indirectly incorporated into a typical parole hearing, presents legal and psychological research about the effect that the presence or absence of remorse may have on parole commissioners’ judgment of inmates’ culpability and eligibility for release, and articulates the challenges that arise in assessing remorse.

  • Arts-Based Methods for Decolonising Participatory Research
    Arts-Based Methods for Decolonising Participatory Research In an effort to challenge the ways in which colonial power relations and Eurocentric knowledges are reproduced in participatory research, this book explores whether and how it is possible to use arts-based methods for creating more horizontal and democratic research practices. In discussing both the transformative potential and limitations of arts-based methods, the book asks: What can arts-based methods contribute to decolonising participatory research and its processes and practices? The book takes part in ongoing debates related to the need to decolonise research, and investigates practical contributions of arts-based methods in the practice-led research domain. Further, it discusses the role of artistic research in depth, locating it in a decolonising context. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, design, fine arts, service design, social sciences and development studies.
