    Ken Anderson Court Case Analysis

    “Even though I asked to be transferred here for the master’s program, coming here was a shock,” Michael Morton wrote on January 22, 2002, from his cell in the Ramsey I prison unit, south of Houston. He was replying to a letter he had recently received from Mario Garcia, a former co-worker at the Safeway in Austin where he had worked before being sent to prison fifteen years earlier. Besides his parents and his younger sister—who made the five-hundred-mile round-trip from East Texas to visit when they could—Garcia was the only person from Michael’s previous life who had stayed in contact with him. Virtually everyone else believed that he was guilty. Throughout the fall and winter of 1986, his case had been splashed across the front pages of…

As New York newspaper reported, 38 people saw the murder but no one called the police or stop the assailant. This murder case astonished so many people and some people blamed the 38 residents, thought they're indifferent. Then, writers mention the rise of crime in the USA and analyze three reasons of this situation: the policy of releasing prisoners, post-war baby boom and violent TV show. (98-99) When I read this case, I feel angry about the 38 residents and think they're indifferent. At the same time, I also wonder why the residents are so apathetic. Maybe they thought other people will help Genovese; maybe they didn't…

    A Good Man Is Hard to Find: Analisys 6

    You are sitting in your living room at home watching the nightly news. The lead story for the night is about a family of four that were murdered. After seeing and hearing about something like that we often ask ourselves, What could possess a person enough to kill another human being? What is it that drives a person to kill? Will we ever know? Many authors use this unique mentality in short stories. They write about what the killer thinks and how he/she acts on his/her thoughts. One of these stories is "A Good Man Is Hard To Find", by Flannery O'Connor. In this story O'Connor's victim, The Misfit, is an escaped convict. He was in the Federal Penitentiary for killing his father. Throughout the story O'Connor builds up this killers mentality through his words and body language. Like many other murderers, The Misfit could not distinguish the difference between fantasy and reality.…

    Stono's Rebellion: The Cause Of Violence In Prisons

    In 1971 the Attica Prison, located near Buffalo, New York, erupted into a riot (“Riot at Attica Prison”). Many of the inmates at the correctional facility had strong emotions about the treatment they and others were receiving at this prison. Physical brutality, lack of medical treatment, and poor sanitation were just a few points of interest the inmates wanted to see change (Berman). On the morning of September 9, a minimal amount of prisoners overpowered guards and seized control of a prison gallery (“Riot at Attica Prison”). After access was granted to this prison gallery, the prisoners were able to access all areas of the correctional facility. It was at this time all 2,200 prisoners went into a rebellion, brutally destroying the facility. However, by 10:30 a.m., state police with the help of the National Guard regained control of most of the prison without any lives lost (“Riot at Attica Prison”). The only area remaining to regain control of was the D yard, and in an attempt to do just that, state police, as well as the national guard, tear-gassed everyone located inside this area (Berman). Frank Smith, an inmate who resumed the job of a guard during the prison riot was in yard D at the time of this occurrence. “The first thing I seen and hear was a helicopter circling over the yard, you know, and then gas, and then a loudspeaker, ‘Put your hand on your head and you won't be harmed,’” Frank Smith recounts in a interview with PBS (Douglass). The information Frank Smith provided at that time helped the citizens, who were not present at the time of the riot, to fully understand the events that had taken place. After state officials agreed to the inmates demands, they regained control of the correctional facility returning the prison to normal. The Attica Prison Riot signifies the worst prison riot in the United States history with 43 people left dead (“Riot at Attica…

    Tina Sinatra Essay

    In a well lit room that was necessary to allow the 72 Goga Black Box camera to adjust focus on a 23-year old Frank Sinatra's comfortably calm appearance, a picture is captured in Bergen, County jail. The viewer can see a scrawny Jersey boy with eyes so blue that regardless of the black and white overlay, the viewer's’ own eyes are drawn to his; a gaze so calm there is feeling as if one is standing in front of him waiting for him to move his crooked mouth. The absence of color creates even greater strength in contrast between the young man's loosely combed black hair where one piece frames his face, and the flawlessness of his pale complexion. Curiously, the viewer is eager to know the man behind this black and white mugshot. Fortunately, because of Sinatras daughter Tina, along with other trusty lawyers…

    Stanford Prison Study Zimbardo

    The Stanford Prison Study was a very eye opening experiment because it was performed in 1971, before modern American Psychological Association guidelines were implemented. As young adults we’ve never seen anything like this experiment before. The power of this situation was exceptionally strong, especially to us. In the study, how easily normal students could be transformed into either a satanic guard or a submissive prisoner was astonishing. Some horrific things happened to the prisoners because of the power that the guards had over them. They assumed the identity of their issued number, were forced to be naked and sleep on concrete and were kept up all night. It seemed that just putting…
