VI Our principal want the first few days out was meat. We could get from the negroes almost everything else we needed in sufficient quantities, but of meat we got none of any kind, from the fact that they had none themselves, nor had they, as a general rule, had any for two years, in consequence of the demands of the army. Our appetites cruelly teased us night and day for something to supply muscle. To meet this demand, two or three times, we visited hen-roosts with ' felonious intent," but were each time disturbed by dogs, and out of distinguished consideration for the rest and quietude of these quadrupeds, we forebore any further enterprises of that sort. But a capital idea struck Goode one night, as we came upon a flock of geese sitting in the road. "Say, boys! let's have a goose for tomorrow." We could almost taste the savory "sentinel of Rome" in the very mention of him. Certainly, everybody was agreed, and the leader led us back the road to prepare for a capture. The geese were sitting so close to a house that it was thought safer for us to drive them up the road out of hearing of the people. So at it we went, whispering "shoow, shoow, shoow," but the offended family, instead of walking quietly off at command, set up an uproarious "hut, tut, tut, tut," which succeeded in repulsing us completely. We fell back a few rods for another council, and this time it was decided that we should walk up abreast and simultaneously fire a volley of clubs into their ranks. Our walking-sticks were the very things, heavy enough to be deadly, and they were used. Whiz went the canes, bang agafnst the fence one or two of them, and off went the geese, noisier than before, not one of them harmed. It was too bad, but enough to frighten us all away but...

Certain transfers of property were to be made, extra rations drawn, the sick hunted up and sent back, surplus effects packed and sent to storage, tents taken down, and wagons loaded, but when midnight came Warren's Fifth Corps was ready to move.

Excerpt: ...group, evidently more pleased and interested than mine. I think the principal part were blooming maidens, who shook their lusty sides and shoulders around Chisman, whose discourse was so ruinous to mine. The tittering of his crowd, and frequent outbursts of laughter, suppressed with both hands, were eminently embarrassing to my sedate remarks, for my congregation fell away, one by one, till I had not a listener. Then I followed, and leaning against a tree heard Chisman on the Emancipation Proclamation. I noted in substance the following: "There is not one of you a slave now, if you only knew it. Mr. Lincoln has declared by that proclamation that the colored people are free everywhere, and he has called soldiers enough into the army to stretch around the State of South Carolina, and compel your masters to let you go. Tittering. Thousands and thousands of your race are already free. As soon as they get to the northern soldiers they tell them to go free, to do what they please, to go where they please, to work when they please, and for whom they please. And they go to work and earn lots of money, five dollars a day; some of them; and they get it themselves every cent of it; and they buy fine clothes, and great big high hats; and the women have fine satin dresses and parasols; they have fine horses and buggies, and drive headlong through town, splashing the mud on everybody. Snickering. Then, when Mr. Lincoln finds an old colored person who can't labor, he gives him a house, feeds him, and cares for him. Why, there is a place close to Washington, where Mr. Lincoln has built houses for, and is feeding and caring for fifteen hundred old and crippled colored people. Then, too, we have some rebels in the North, who don't want you to get...

Book excerpt: The Russian oil mogul and activist offers reflections on his decades-long incarceration under Putin in this “illuminating and brave” prison memoir (The Washington Post). Mikhail Khodorkovsky was Russia’s most successful businessman—and an outspoken critic of the Kremlin. As his oil company Yukos revived the Russian oil industry, Khodorkovsky began sponsoring programs to encourage civil society and fight corruption. Then he was arrested at gunpoint. Sentenced to ten years in a Siberian penal colony on fraud and tax evasion charges in 2003, Khodorkovsky was put on trial again in 2010 and sentenced to fourteen years on new charges that contradicted the previous ones. While imprisoned, Khodorkovsky fought for the rights of his fellow prisoners, going on hunger strike four times. After he was pardoned in 2013, he vowed to continue fighting for prisoners’ rights, and this book is dedicated to that work. A moving portrait of the prisoners Khodorkovsky met, My Fellow Prisoners is an eye-opening account of Russia’s brutal prison system. “Vivid, humane and poignant” —Financial Times

Download or read book Are Prisons Obsolete? written by Angela Y. Davis and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2011-01-04 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With her characteristic brilliance, grace and radical audacity, Angela Y. Davis has put the case for the latest abolition movement in American life: the abolition of the prison. As she quite correctly notes, American life is replete with abolition movements, and when they were engaged in these struggles, their chances of success seemed almost unthinkable. For generations of Americans, the abolition of slavery was sheerest illusion. Similarly,the entrenched system of racial segregation seemed to last forever, and generations lived in the midst of the practice, with few predicting its passage from custom. The brutal, exploitative (dare one say lucrative?) convict-lease system that succeeded formal slavery reaped millions to southern jurisdictions (and untold miseries for tens of thousands of men, and women). Few predicted its passing from the American penal landscape. Davis expertly argues how social movements transformed these social, political and cultural institutions, and made such practices untenable. In Are Prisons Obsolete?, Professor Davis seeks to illustrate that the time for the prison is approaching an end. She argues forthrightly for "decarceration", and argues for the transformation of the society as a whole.

Download or read book American Prison written by Shane Bauer and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-06-11 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An enraging, necessary look at the private prison system, and a convincing clarion call for prison reform.” —NPR.org New York Times Book Review 10 Best Books of 2018 * One of President Barack Obama’s favorite books of 2018 * Winner of the 2019 J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize * Winner of the Helen Bernstein Book Award for Excellence in Journalism * Winner of the 2019 RFK Book and Journalism Award * A New York Times Notable Book A ground-breaking and brave inside reckoning with the nexus of prison and profit in America: in one Louisiana prison and over the course of our country's history. In 2014, Shane Bauer was hired for $9 an hour to work as an entry-level prison guard at a private prison in Winnfield, Louisiana. An award-winning investigative journalist, he used his real name; there was no meaningful background check. Four months later, his employment came to an abrupt end. But he had seen enough, and in short order he wrote an exposé about his experiences that won a National Magazine Award and became the most-read feature in the history of the magazine Mother Jones. Still, there was much more that he needed to say. In American Prison, Bauer weaves a much deeper reckoning with his experiences together with a thoroughly researched history of for-profit prisons in America from their origins in the decades before the Civil War. For, as he soon realized, we can't understand the cruelty of our current system and its place in the larger story of mass incarceration without understanding where it came from. Private prisons became entrenched in the South as part of a systemic effort to keep the African-American labor force in place in the aftermath of slavery, and the echoes of these shameful origins are with us still. The private prison system is deliberately unaccountable to public scrutiny. Private prisons are not incentivized to tend to the health of their inmates, or to feed them well, or to attract and retain a highly-trained prison staff. Though Bauer befriends some of his colleagues and sympathizes with their plight, the chronic dysfunction of their lives only adds to the prison's sense of chaos. To his horror, Bauer finds himself becoming crueler and more aggressive the longer he works in the prison, and he is far from alone. A blistering indictment of the private prison system, and the powerful forces that drive it, American Prison is a necessary human document about the true face of justice in America.
