Download or read book Prison Patter written by Angela Devlin and published by Waterside Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rita Hayworth dancing by candlelight in a small Mexican village; Elizabeth Taylor devouring homemade pasta and tenderly wrapping him in her pashmina scarf; streaking for Sir Laurence Olivier in a drafty English castle; terrifying a dozing Jackie Onassis; carrying an unconscious Montgomery Clift to safety on a dark New York City street. Captured forever in a unique memoir, Frank Langella's myriad encounters with some of the past century's most famous human beings are profoundly affecting, funny, wicked, sometimes shocking, and utterly irresistible. With sharp wit and a perceptive eye, Mr. Langella takes us with him into the private worlds and privileged lives of movie stars, presidents, royalty, literary lions, the social elite, and the greats of the Broadway stage. What, for instance, was Jack Kennedy doing on that coffee table? Why did the Queen Mother need Mr. Langella's help? When was Paul Mellon going to pay him money owed? How did Brooke Astor lose her virginity? Why was Robert Mitchum singing Gilbert & Sullivan patter songs at top volume, and what did Marilyn Monroe say to him that helped change the course of his life? Through these shared experiences, we learn something, too, of Mr. Langella's personal journey from the age of fifteen to the present day. Dropped Names is, like its subjects, riveting and unforgettable.

Book Synopsis The Book of Prison Slang! by : Cicero Johnson
Download or read book The Book of Prison Slang! written by Cicero Johnson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-06-22 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prisoners have their own language. Part of this is because of the fact that prison is the ultimate "melting pot." In the free world people tend to intermingle with people that are already within their own groups. In prison there is no such luxury - inmates from all socioeconomic classes, ethnic groups, nationalities, religions, educational levels, sexual orientations, and just about any other dividing quality you can think of, are forced to live, work, eat, sleep, and otherwise interact together. In order to communicate effectively, and in a way that prevents most of the guards from knowing what is going on, prison slang or lingo has evolved. While much of it is common in many or most prisons and regions, there is also a good portion of it which will be unique to certain geographic regions, levels of incarceration, or just plain local variances. Who should read this book Inmates who are new to the system, or about to go in. Not just because of the fact that they will have a quicker and easier time adapting, but also because reading the phrases and what they mean gives insight into how the prison language, and thus inmate mindset(s), operate. There is a certain amount of "matter-of-factness" to the slang, along with a fair amount of dark humor. Both of those qualities help remind the participants to stay sane in a situation that is inherently maddening. Inmates who have been in the system for a while. There is a fair amount of humor in the phrases included in this book, and for an inmate to be able to sit and read about his or her genuine experiences and culture, well, it gives them the ability to smile a little bit. It reminds them that they are part of a larger human experience. Families of inmates. Family members who communicate with loved ones in prison will often find phrasing that they don't fully understand in letters, phone calls, and direct communication during visitation. Oftentimes they won't understand the phrasing and will be hesitant to ask what it means. As a result, communication between the incarcerated person and their caring family members can falter. This book will hopefully help families not only understand the phrases that their incarcerated loved ones pick up, but will give insight into the mindset inside. It can be dark, but there is a humor to almost all of it. I mean, come on-how can you not appreciate calling the death penalty a "stainless steel ride"? It is bitter wit-it is acknowledging the darkness of death while joking about it. It is culture created to tell the staff they can go fuck themselves-the inmates retain control of their language and to a large extent the rules they choose to follow, and the rules they choose to break. Anyone interested in prison culture. Frankly it always amazes me that anyone would be interested in prison culture. I suppose it's a little bit like studying the damned souls in Dante's Inferno, and gives one a sense of... I don't know precisely what. What I do know is that for some reason, we as humans have an innate desire to look in on the macabre at least touch it a little bit. I don't know why, all I know is that based upon the numerous movies and television shows surrounding prisons, inmates, crime, and all the rest, people who are interested in prison culture may very well find this book to be interesting.

Book Synopsis Forensic Linguistics. Prison Slang, Miranda Rights, and Online-Trolling by : Alexander Bärtl
Download or read book Forensic Linguistics. Prison Slang, Miranda Rights, and Online-Trolling written by Alexander Bärtl and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2021-06-22 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Document from the year 2021 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,3, Dresden Technical University (Institute of English and American Studies), course: Forensic Linguistics, language: English, abstract: This paper raises and discusses three selected questions on topics of forensics linguistics, i.e., prison slang, Miranda Rights, and the act of trolling online. Its idea, structure, and purpose are equal to term papers but in a very shortened and rudimentary yet discursive and critical way. Therefore, a variety of secondary sources and perspectives are taken into account. Furthermore, cultural and judicial aspects enhance the linguistic-based discussions and, therefore, reveal supplementary controversial issues. Language fulfills different social functions and is of high relevance for everyday life in prison. Which (linguistic) features are characteristic for prison slang and which (social) functions do they fulfill? Although the “Miranda Rights” were created to extend suspects’ protection, many problems may arise when looking at certain groups who are not fully capable of understanding the details and extent of the ‘Miranda Rights’ The act of trolling has become visible on presumably all SMPs and, beyond that, other platforms, such as Wikipedia, and is not always handled as a trivial offense. What is a troll (or trolling), what are his/her motivations, and why and how can trolling lead to legal repercussions?

I have 58 criminal convictions for everything from attempted theft to armed robbery and prison escape, and I was a career criminal for most of my life. What I do not know about criminal and prison slang could be written on the back of a postage stamp and still leave room for The Lord's Prayer ...'
