Summary

Thomas S. Gaines's 'Buried Alive Behind Prison Walls' delves into the harrowing experiences of prisoners serving life sentences for crimes they did not commit. Written in a gripping and descriptive style, the book sheds light on the injustices within the legal system and the hardships faced by the wrongfully convicted. By intertwining personal accounts with detailed research, Gaines unveils the complexities of these cases and the emotional toll they take on the individuals involved. The literary context of the book is deeply rooted in social justice and serves as a poignant reminder of the flaws in the criminal justice system. Gaines's writing is not only informative but also thought-provoking, challenging readers to critically examine the concept of innocence. Thomas S. Gaines, a seasoned journalist and advocate for criminal justice reform, draws upon his extensive knowledge of the legal system to bring attention to these pressing issues. His passion for truth and fairness motivates him to shine a spotlight on the stories of those who have been buried alive behind prison walls. Gaines's dedication to seeking justice for the wrongfully convicted is evident throughout the book, making it a compelling and impactful read for all. I highly recommend 'Buried Alive Behind Prison Walls' to anyone interested in the intersection of law, justice, and human rights. Gaines's work is a powerful call to action, urging readers to confront the flaws in the legal system and advocate for change.

    "Hettes' writing verges on the poetic as she describes the heartbreaking fear that her suffering is permanent . . . the memoir includes moments of humor and hope, and it is inspiring to chart Hettes' journey from despair to a degree in "self-studies." A moving recollection filled with wisdom and unabashed emotion." - Kirkus Reviews  
"This is a book for everyone who toys with walling themselves off to live with loneliness." - Betsy Teter, founder of Hub City Press 
"It's easy enough to label child sexual abuse as horrific, but the acts themselves are only part of the problem. Hettes reveals the crushing, long-term consequences of sexual violation and our culture's collective failure to address it." - Sheri Reynolds, NYT bestselling author of The Rapture of Cannan 
Stacey is living exactly the right life before she hits the psychological equivalent of a patch of black ice. 
As Professor Hettes, her classes focus as much on neuroscience's beauty and wonder as its facts and theories. Fellow faculty members see her as a fair but outspoken leader on a campus steeped in the blended patriarchies of academia and southern gentility. 
At an emotionally charged forum on sexual violence, she takes a stand against a colleague's reckless verbal assault, outing herself as a sexual abuse survivor in the process. Professor Hettes must continue her work even as Stacey finds herself resubmerged in the sights, sounds, and smells of her memories with Mr. Jay, a Pentecostal church deacon. 
With exceptional candor, Dispatches from the Couch invites readers to take a seat beside her in the office of her new therapist, Piper. This debut memoir reveals the laborious, complex, but promising work of revisiting the past in order to extract its remnants of shame and loneliness from the present.

    Cambodian Genocide - Pol Pot’s...

    It’s insane to think that mass murder didn’t stop at the end of World War II. Since the Holocaust, various genocides have taken place in different areas of the world. In this book, we’ll talk about something that has often been shoved under the rug, but was definitely a consequence of the Vietnam War, the bombings by the Americans, and a domino effect into an already fragile political country: The nation of Cambodia. 
The Cambodian genocide was the methodical abuse and death of Cambodians by the Khmer Rouge, led by Pol Pot, the general secretary of the Communist Party of Kampuchea, who pushed Cambodia towards being an entirely self-dependent agrarian socialist state. Between 1975 and 1979, 1.5 to 2 million people were murdered, representing about a quarter of Cambodia's population in 1975. (c. 7.8 million). 
When we look back on this, their ideology seems completely paradoxical, far-fetched, and illogical. Yet, through a considerately high number of propaganda resources and sheer force, the coup forced millions of people from the cities to farmlands, leaving them there to die or be shot because of supposed conspiracies against the regime. Let’s take a deep dive into the history of this ancient Southeast Asian area and learn from what happened.
