The Psychotropication of the American Prisoner
How much time is too much? In the late 80s the U.S. Congress created a law recognizing crack cocaine, a derivative of powder cocaine, to carry a federal sentence 100 times the weight of its powder cocaine derivative. The Controlled Substances Act established a minimum mandatory sentence of five years for a first-time trafficking offense involving over five grams of crack, as opposed to 500 grams of powder cocaine. In other words, it enacted a criminal liability scheme that $125 of street value crack cocaine, is the moral and criminal equivalent of $12,500 of street value powder cocaine. A low bar entry of $125 to run afoul of federal law is targeting consumers, whereas a $12,500 price tag is targeting dealers. This criminal liability scheme created racial disparity in sentencing, as it was known at the time of its enactment, African Americans were the consumers of crack, while White Americans were the consumers of powder. The law imposed the same ratio for larger amounts: a minimum sentence of 10 years for amounts of crack over 50 grams ($12,500), versus 5 kilograms of cocaine ($125,000).

The MISSING
As a parent I can not even begin to imagine the true horror someone feels when their child goes missing. Just imagine the day starts out like any normal day. You send your kid to school, or with a friend and they never return, nor or they ever heard from again. Whenever anyone goes missing the question about what happen to them never really leaves your mind. This is especially true for the families of missing children. Losing a child is the single most heart breaking experience in the world. Not knowing what happened to them has got to add to that, because there is no closure for the families of these missing children. I count my blessings often that I have never had to face this.

Top 10 American Serial Killers
Many years ago we wrote the definitive list of Serial Killers. That 2007 list ranked killers based on various factors, only one of which was their death toll. It included a variety of nations. This new list is a little more precise: focussing on American male killers only and ranking based on the verified death toll. Consider this a bit of housekeeping. A future list will look at female killers, though there is only one who had sufficient kills to be included on this list based on the death toll, and she is added as a bonus item.

Top 10 Serial Killers Who Had Even Creepier Admirers
Over the years, there have been many cases of highly intelligent individuals becoming infatuated with convicted serial killers to the point of obsession. Some have even married them behind bars. Sheila Isenberg, the author of “Women Who Love Men Who Kill”, explains in her book that there are numerous reasons behind this phenomenon. Some of these individuals might have been abused by a partner or parent themselves, some simply enjoyed the thrill of knowing where their “boyfriend” was at all times and others were simply involved for the fame and attention. The following cases all describe cases of “fans” who came across as very creepy to the public as they stopped at nothing – sometimes even turning to murder themselves – in order to get up close to the serial killer.

Review; Holy Hell
Unfiltered reaction I listened to an episode of one of my favorite podcasts, Sinisterhood, about the the Bhuddafield Cult. Their reference material was a documentary titled Holy Hell. I had never heard of the Bhuddafield, and I am very intrigued by cults so I thought I would give it a try. The documentary starts off disorienting and confusing with a seagull, and weird people seemingly meditating. The images introduction of Will Allen, is gentle and you might get the impression that you are about to watch the story of a Catholic coming to terms with his sexuality through getting his film degree. I am a little confused because I mostly understand thats not what this is about, its an interesting choice of opening.

Past Curfew
I shiver as a cold October wind rustles the leaves on the ground in front of me. I don’t really know why I came out here tonight; it’s not like I’m going to find anything. If the police couldn’t find her with all the ridiculous technology they have these days, she’s gone.

How I Became a Domestic Terrorist
As I begin to write this piece it is 4:30am on a Tuesday morning, and as usual I can’t sleep. Every day around this time, over the last 15 years, I wake up for the same reason. I wake up to my thoughts racing at break neck speed, my eyes watering, reacting to the stabbing pain of a large sliver embedded within my mind, one that affects every aspect of my life and has for years. It is the same sliver that continuously occupies my thoughts, directs my attention, and causes massive amounts of pain, anxiety and restlessness. The righteous anger of injustice is persistent and relentless, it affords me no peace; I haven’t been in a good mood in years. It has been a long time since my family and I had to endure the nightmarish hell that made all this happen…but I am not alone. Everyday people across the country have to come to terms with highly traumatic events that have occurred in their lives, and it is not easy. It is a daily struggle, often one that lasts a lifetime - some memories just don’t fade.

We had the world by the balls for the next few months but of course on my birthday July 12, 2012 my world fell apart my kids father was picked up and I was arrested for crazy crazy charges that should not have been Put on me as my kids father’s court shit went on I had my own court shit eventually leading to trial immediate and found not guilty. So thinking I was untouchable I decided to grab his witness witness for the DA and make him go against the DA and on my kids father side everything I was doing was failing even though it will go to my kids fathers we have is still failed so I did the Inevitable I had kidnap in the witness and keep him from going to trial, Drinking every day thinking that I was the shit for what I was doing only thing I don’t on my side was put $20 on the table to tell him if you want to go He can go yes it was a he. Shit happens and a lot of mistakes are madeAnd the police eventually found out I had him and on November 15, 2013 At 11:30 PM I was picked up for kidnapping a witness and Conspiracy. I left behind two beautiful children because of my selfishness and my stupidity because of my actions I didn’t have to do a lot of time because like I said before that’s why you guys on the table I got lower to intimidation have a witness plus I got hit with perjury for lying under oath. If I would’ve went to trial I still be in prison right now but I ended up taking a plea deal and end up doing 2 1/2 to 3 is the three years of probation on after. I am going to a program after 2 1/2 years doing good doing good broke up with my boyfriend met my current husband. Doing good for the first two years then I started backpedaling I got pregnant with my son violated probation several times and then the ultimate happened again his sister and her boyfriend were selling drugs in our house got rated they weren’t there with me and my husband wereI lost my son but at least my other kids weren’t there at the house at that time but my son was that was when I was a true believer of wrong place at the wrong time because of that I got charged with possession charges distributing charges and being blamed for a woman overdosing and dying I figured I was never gonna see the light of day again for a while but because I’m a true believer of my Lord I prayed every single day like I had when I got out I don’t just pray when I get in shit I Pray when I’m doing good. Because I am addict I got a judge at my sentencing Day That was fair for the both of us instead of doing almost 2 years for violating probation could I got Ten he said because it’s Superior probation. And the other courthouse never had a possession charge of my life wanted to give me the same time because of my face I only got a year probation there and for my probation violation eight months together because the judge couldn’t see an addict being pregnant going to jail for two years.
