  1. "As #prisons go, #EasternStatePenitentiary in #Philadelphia was unusually luxurious. For one, it had flush toilets — beating out even the #WhiteHouse in making the upgrade, #museum exhibit developer #BethTinker told me on a recent tour.

    But if plumbing reflected the #penitentiary’s commitment to #prisoners’ physical well-being, its biggest innovation was more spiritual. Eastern State housed the first #synagogue inside a #US #prison, complete with a #Torah #ark and #nertamid, or eternal light. That restored sanctuary — a short walk from gangster #AlCapone’s former cell — is now newly open to the public in a museum exhibit, Freedom through Faith: #Judaism at #EasternState and Beyond.

    “It’s a place really of humanity, when you’re not getting a lot of humanity in this space,” Tinker said.

    The synagogue, founded in 1922, hosted holiday celebrations and weekly #Shabbat services."

  3. The parliament in #Estonia has approved amendments allowing #prisoners from other countries to be housed in Estonian prisons. At the same time, the parliament ratified a #prison leasing agreement with #Sweden. Under the deal, Sweden can send up to 600 inmates to Estonia's #Tartu Prison.

  9. The first appearance of the heroic Dr. Hussam Abu Safieh 💔😔
    From his court appearance in Jerusalem a short while ago
    Tormented, emaciated, exhausted, his punishment for being a human being and a doctor who performed his duty with courage and dedication... We are literally living in a jungle
    He is being tried before the world, and his crime is that he was a doctor who did not abandon his patients

  18. @vfrmedia @EF @ChrisMayLA6 The problem with the theory of #deterrence, generally speaking, is that it doesn't work. It works for the law-abiding, like you & me, but not for the people it needs to work for - the #criminals. If it DID, our #jails would be empty, instead of full to bursting. #Prison works as #punishment, but not as a #deterrent. Some #prisoners can be #rehabilitated, but that needs effort.

    "Use your voice, speak up for Palestinians being detained, abused, tortured.

    It takes a few minutes to send emails to 47+ government officials. Do it, urgently.
