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 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.

  • The Prevalence of Organised Cross-Border Crimes in South Africa: a Non-Empirical Statistical Data Analysis on Stock Theft and Hijacking of Motor Vehicles
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES AND HUMANITY STUDIES Vol 11, No 1, 2019 ISSN: 1309-8063 (Online) THE PREVALENCE OF ORGANISED CROSS-BORDER CRIMES IN SOUTH AFRICA: A NON-EMPIRICAL STATISTICAL DATA ANALYSIS ON STOCK THEFT AND HIJACKING OF MOTOR VEHICLES Witness Maluleke University of Limpopo (UL), South Africa Email: [email protected] Siyanda Dlamini University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN), South Africa Email: [email protected] - Abstract - One of the greatest quotes by the former Kaizer Chiefs Football Club (FC) and current (2018) Bloemfontein Celtic FC coach (Steve Komphela) reads as follows: “We did not play well, but we won, we now have to wait for the next team. We go on; we hope to improve from here. [Statistics are like a bikini, they do not reveal everything]” uttered after an unconvincing win (Soccer Laduma, 2015). The purpose of this paper is not to discuss the above quotation, however, to illustrate that there is truth in it when assessing the prevalence of hijacking of motor vehicles (carjacking) and stock theft (livestock) statistics as part of organised cross- border crimes in South Africa. Ewi (2017) provides that organised (cross-border) crimes are becoming serious and growing menace in South Africa, with its debilitating social and economic effects on the country, this requires immediate attention. However, the sources of organised crime and its perpetrators are highly contested. National Stock Theft Prevention Forum (2017) provides that the release of the crime statistics by the South African Police Service (SAPS) on 3 March 2017 to the Portfolio Committee was awaited with enthusiasm as it was the first time in years to be made available on quarterly basis.

  • Boston Strangler!
    GIVE CREDIT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sAKjX9lnZ8 Carnival of the Damned by Jonathan Segev https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWL-sKW6m7Srb4bk6al5AmA Cold Open: The Boston Strangler! The mid-1960’s were a turbulent time for a lot of people in America. The burgeoning civil rights movement, the counter culture sexual revolution of the “hippie” movement was kicking off, and tensions from the Cold War meant that a lot of people were carrying around a decent amount of anxiety about the future every single day. And the residents of Boston, from June 14th, 1962 through July of 1964 - they had even more to worry about: a man the newspapers dubbed “the Boston Strangler” was somehow seemingly tricking one area women after another into being let into their homes where he’d then proceed to strangle and rape them. The papers were printing graphic crime scene details and criticizing the police for not being able to catch the killer - or even come up with a lead suspect - pushing many residents to the brink of near hysteria. Police in five different jurisdictions scrambled to question every known pervert, petty criminal, and person with a history of mental illness and violence who could maybe be connected to the heinous crimes in some way. In any way. And then the police found Albert DeSalvo… a man brought in on seemingly unrelated charges - who then confessed to everything! The Boston Strangler was behind bars. Case closed! …or maybe not. Irregularities in the crimes, gaps in DeSalvo’s story, and the pressure on authorities to solve the case have led some to believe that DeSalvo was responsible for maybe one or two of the Strangler’s murders, but not for the rest.
