Captain Munsey: Escape From Prison
At the underfunded and overcrowded Westgate Penitentiary, the situation is like a ticking bomb ready to go off.
Under those circumstances, the rebellious and tough-to-break inmate Joe Collins and his fellow prisoners in the crammed cell R17 are kept on a short leash by the sadistic, manipulative and power-craving guard, Captain Munsey.
Eventually, Joe with dreams of escape and at the end of his tether, he will finally have all set to crack the wall open, but with his rusty shackles so thick and heavy, is it possible to escape from the prison and Munsey’s ever-watchful eye?
In the end, when freedom is so expensive and precious, who knows what great lengths one can go to be free at

    Many of these facts are talked bout and proven by journalist Ted Conover in his engrossing account of the year he spend as a correctional officer. (correctional officers or COs as they are known as, dislike the term "guard") at the maximum-security Sing Sing Prison in New York. Conover, always fascinated by prisons and curious about what the life of a guard was really like, approached the New York Department of Correctional Services with a request to write a profile of the experiences of a new recruit, but was turned down. So he decided that his only option was to become a guard himself in which he would get better incite about prison anyway especially if he was working on the inside of the prison, instead of just hearing stories and not…

    Unflinching about what he sees and feels, Conover gets scared and intimidated, but he's not alone. Prison guards are significantly outnumbered by the inmates they're supposed to control. He portrays other guards as guys (and a smattering of women) who mostly do their best to corral their fear and who patch their psychological holes with whatever putty lets them do an unimaginably difficult job. For some, he admits, that putty becomes…

    Americans enjoy more personal freedoms than any country in the world, but, since the attacks on the “World Trade Center” and the “Pentagon” on 9-11-2011, and the subsequent passing of the “Patriot Act”, the American way of life has been forever changed, and a lot of the personal, private freedoms Americans enjoy are gone. The text in the center of the art piece sets the tone. It forces the viewer to ask themselves the question. Are we really free?…

    In 1963, when San Francisco’s notorious Alcatraz Prison shut its doors for the last time, the United States Penitentiary in Marion, Illinois opened theirs. It was built to replace the isolated prison after expenses were exceeded and the institution became a financial burden. Although not as popular, the Marion prison continued to hold some of Alcatraz’s most famous prisoners and even contains reused materials from it. Marion Penitentiary has transformed throughout the years, evolving from its unique history and varies levels of security.

    After listening to and or reading the transcripts of Locked Down: Gangs in the Supermax by Michael Montgomery, one gets a glimpse of prison life, sociological issues inmates and staff face, and the subculture of prison life faced by staff and prisoners alike on a daily basis. However, instead of delving completely in to the situational circumstances of prisoner life, it is more important to understand the history of this Supermax prison and why it was constructed to begin with. Further, it is important to understand the philosophy of the need for the Secure Housing Unit, which is the most secure and isolated portion of Pelican Bay Prison.…

    Today, we enjoy a greater modicum of freedom that some of our ancestors could've only dreamed of. However, as we all know, freedom is, quite ironically, not free. Our ancestors all had to escape oppression, whether it be from a tyrannous ruler or a society that demeaned them to nothing because of the color of their skin or their gender. America, the land of opportunity, was a land built by the labours of our forefathers. These men and women fought so valiantly not only to ensure their freedom, but also the freedom of the future generations ahead of them. Even today, although we may not realize it, when we fight for a cause that we are dedicated to, we are not only cementing our futures, but the futures of those ahead of us. It is a quote from…
