Synopsis

"Prisoner History" presents a sweeping examination of how incarceration and prisoner treatment have evolved across civilizations, from ancient Mesopotamian dungeons to modern correctional facilities. This comprehensive study reveals the intricate relationships between societies' values, governance systems, and their approaches to punishment and rehabilitation, demonstrating how economic conditions, religious beliefs, and political structures have shaped incarceration practices throughout history.

 
The book's chronological journey begins with ancient societies' basic detention systems, progressing through Medieval European towers and Asian imprisonment methods, before exploring the transformative period of the Industrial Revolution and the emergence of systematic incarceration. Drawing from archaeological findings, historical documents, and prison records across continents, it illuminates fascinating developments such as how Roman carcer influenced future prison designs and how Chinese imperial prisons established early standards for prisoner treatment.

 
Through its three main sections, the work masterfully weaves together multiple disciplines, including criminology, sociology, and human rights law, while maintaining accessibility for general readers. The analysis of successful and failed approaches throughout history offers valuable insights for contemporary prison reform efforts, making it particularly relevant for criminal justice professionals, policy makers, and social historians. The book's examination of the ongoing tension between punitive and rehabilitative approaches provides crucial context for current debates about prison reform and international standards for prisoner rights.

    Stories accompany us through life from birth to death. But they do not merely entertain, inform, or distress us—they show us what counts as right or wrong and teach us who we are and who we can imagine being. Stories connect people, but they can also disconnect, creating boundaries between people and justifying violence. In Letting Stories Breathe, Arthur W. Frank grapples with this fundamental aspect of our lives, offering both a theory of how stories shape us and a useful method for analyzing them. Along the way he also tells stories: from folktales to research interviews to remembrances. Frank’s unique approach uses literary concepts to ask social scientific questions: how do stories make life good and when do they endanger it? Going beyond theory, he presents a thorough introduction to dialogical narrative analysis, analyzing modes of interpretation, providing specific questions to start analysis, and describing different forms analysis can take. Building on his renowned work exploring the relationship between narrative and illness, Letting Stories Breathe expands Frank’s horizons further, offering a compelling perspective on how stories affect human lives.

    IT'S TIME FOR AN ECONOMIC EVOLUTION. 
    The evidence is all around us: Humans are squandering natural resources and destroying the environment. There is no real debate about climate change. And with an ever-widening wealth gap, inequality is destabilizing many regions and worsening famine, disease, and civil unrest. 
    We must change, fast - and yet we hesitate. 
    Moneyless Society: The Next Economic Evolution explores how capitalism throttles Earth's capacity to sustain life and undermines our deep longing to live in peace and prosperity. Fortunately, it also provides a blueprint to innovative thinking and new structures to replace our outmoded monetary system. In short, Moneyless Society illuminates just how much our lives and those of future generations could improve with a new kind of freedom: freedom from money. 
    We are at a crossroads: we can choose abundance, community, and prosperity, or we can continue down the path toward collapse. The choice is ours.

    The Indianapolis - The Worst...

    The USS Indianapolis was a Portland-class heavy cruiser of the United States Navy, commissioned in 1932, and it played a vital role in the Pacific theater during World War II. Its most significant and tragic moment came in 1945, during its final mission. The ship was tasked with delivering critical components for the atomic bomb that would later be dropped on Hiroshima, Japan. This mission, which involved transporting the bomb's uranium core to the island of Tinian, was classified, and few knew about the importance of the cargo aboard the ship. 
    After successfully completing its mission and delivering the components to Tinian on July 26, 1945, the Indianapolis set sail for the Philippines, where it would rendezvous with other ships in the Pacific fleet. The ship’s captain, Charles B. McVay III, had orders to take the cruiser directly to its next destination, avoiding the traditional convoy routes to reduce the risk of submarine attack. With the war nearing its end and Japan’s defeat imminent, the ship's journey seemed routine, and there was little concern about the potential dangers ahead. The USS Indianapolis was an experienced and battle-tested ship, having served in key naval engagements throughout the war, including the Battle of Leyte Gulf and the Battle of the Philippine Sea. 
    However, the absence of a convoy left the Indianapolis vulnerable. On the night of July 29, 1945, while traveling through the Philippine Sea, the ship was struck by two torpedoes fired by the Japanese submarine I-58. The attack tore through the hull, causing devastating damage. Within minutes, the ship began to sink, and the crew was thrown into chaos. Many of the crew members perished instantly, while others scrambled into the water, trying to escape the fiery wreckage of the ship. The survivors faced an unimaginable nightmare as they found themselves stranded in the open ocean, with little hope of immediate rescue.

    Aggression is rampant almost everywhere nowadays, sometimes in its legal and approved form and increasingly in illegal activities. Where it is approved, it may be called “getting on in the world,” that is, stepping on others’ heads so that you can get to the top. This is success in a worldly sense, but not in a Buddhist one. It is also approved of for men (though not by them for women!) as being a mark of mastery and virility, yet it will never bring happiness. For if people are mastered forcibly, then how will happiness follow for the one who inflicts suffering? The rationale is that “progress,” that materialistic god so widely worshipped, will not come about unless force and power are used. But this argument does not take into account the fact that, sooner or later, what is won by aggression will surely be lost through conflict.
