Book excerpt: Few sounds are as chilling as the metal bars of a prison slamming shut. Often, criminals are locked up in cells with other murderers, thieves, and robbers—sometimes for years, sometimes for life. Yet what about being locked up with a ghost? Some people say that the souls of those who died in prison are unable to rest in peace. As a result, ghosts and other spirits are often reported to haunt jails and prisons around the world. Among the 11 prisons in this book, children will discover Alcatraz, the legendary prison that housed some of America’s most dangerous criminals, and which is said to still be home to some of their spirits; a Civil War prison where some people claim to hear the whispers of dead soldiers; and the Tower of London, where a headless queen haunts the hallways. The spooky photographs and chilling nonfiction text will keep children turning the pages to discover more creepy stories.

In the fall of 2018 Ursula gathered together a team of veteran paranormal researchers to host the first ever paranormal investigations and ghost tours at one of the world's most notorious penitentiaries: the Old Joliet Prison. Illinois' second state penitentiary, the prison was constructed in the mid 1850s, and hosted thousands of murderers, rapists, thieves and confidence men during its nearly 150 years of operation. In addition to the crimes these men--and women--perpetrated before their incarcerations, once inside the chaos continued. Countless numbers of stabbings, shootings, rapes and suicides occurred inside the prison walls, along with hundreds of deaths from disease and illness. Now, step inside the abandoned cell blocks and darkened prison yard, the old prison hospital and the lost convict cemetery on the hill. The ghosts of Old Joliet Prison will hold you captive indeed.

Book Synopsis New Ghosts, Old Ghosts: Prisons and Labor Reform Camps in China by : James D. Seymour
Download or read book New Ghosts, Old Ghosts: Prisons and Labor Reform Camps in China written by James D. Seymour and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much has been written about the laogai (sometimes likened to the Soviet gulag) in the People's Republic of China. Depending on the source, the prisons are described as nonexistent, enlightened institutions, or hellish places that subject the inmates to degradation and misery. The system is commonly thought of (by admirers and critics alike) as having a measurable impact on the national economy and providing significant resources to the state. Based on research in classified documents and extensive interviews with former prisoners, judicial personnel, and other insiders, and featuring case studies dealing with the three northwestern provinces, this book examines such assertions on the basis of the facts about this underexamined subject in order to arrive at a detailed, objective, and realistic picture of the situation. In the case of each province under study, the authors discuss the history of the provincial prison system and the impact that each has had at the macro, meso, and micro levels.

Book Synopsis Ghosts of Revolution by : Shahla Talebi
Download or read book Ghosts of Revolution written by Shahla Talebi and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-14 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Opening the enormous metal gate, the guard suddenly took away my blindfold and asked me, tauntingly, if I would recognize my parents. With my eyes hurting from the strange light and anger in my voice, I assured him that I would. Suddenly I was pushed through the gate and the door was slammed behind me. After more than eight years, here I was, finally, out of jail . . . ." In this haunting account, Shahla Talebi remembers her years as a political prisoner in Iran. Talebi, along with her husband, was imprisoned for nearly a decade and tortured, first under the Shah and later by the Islamic Republic. Writing about her own suffering and survival and sharing the stories of her fellow inmates, she details the painful reality of prison life and offers an intimate look at a critical period of social and political transformation in Iran. Somehow through it all—through resistance and resolute hope, passion and creativity—Talebi shows how one survives. Reflecting now on experiences past, she stays true to her memories, honoring the love of her husband and friends lost in these events, to relate how people can hold to moments of love, resilience, and friendship over the dark forces of torture, violence, and hatred. At once deeply personal yet clearly political, part memoir and part meditation, this work brings to heartbreaking clarity how deeply rooted torture and violence can be in our society. More than a passing judgment of guilt on a monolithic "Islamic State," Talebi's writing asks us to reconsider our own responses to both contemporary debates of interrogation techniques and government responsibility and, more simply, to basic acts of cruelty in daily life. She offers a lasting call to us all. "The art of living in prison becomes possible through imagining life in the very presence of death and observing death in the very existence of life. It is living life so vitally and so fully that you are willing, if necessary, to let that very life go, as one would shed chains on the legs. It is embracing, and flying on the wings of death as though it is the bird of freedom."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can You Hear The Screams? True Stories From The Scariest Penitentiaries On Earth... Claim Your FREE Bonuses After the Conclusion! There are countless books, TV shows, and movies dedicated to showcasing life behind bars. They show us how both violent and petty criminals interact. But what happens when things spiral out of control? When inmates turn on the guards and riots break out? Or when guards become power hungry and torture inmates? A prison can serve a variety of purposes. It can be a place of rehabilitation where the system tries to reform the inmate and make it easier for them to reintegrate into civilian life. It can be a place that prizes punishment as a means to stop illegal behavior. And, in the worst circumstances, it can be a place of state sponsored torture that doesn't care if an inmate is truly guilty. Though many of the prisons in this book tried to change an inmate's behavior through non-violent means, their systems almost always devolved into one of corruption. Abuse, rape, unhygienic living conditions, and even murder make up the stories of each of these prisons. Their histories are dark and not for the faint of heart. The inmates and guards who lived, suffered, and died in these prisons still fill their cold, abandoned corridors with malevolent energy. Before reading any farther, be forewarned that not everyone who enters these prisons will be let out... Here Is A Preview Of What's Inside...
