The Free-Walking Cannibal With Plans to Eat People Once More
Issei Sagawa had been planning to kill, mutilate, and devour Renée Hartevelt for 32 years when he finally did it in 1981. Sagawa was a student of comparative literature in Paris at the time of his crime. He was promptly taken into custody and given a psychiatric institution term. He was able to check himself out of a separate psychiatric institution after his extradition to Japan, however, because to a legal loophole, and he is still free today.

RACISM BEHIND BARS
Introduction Hate groups can be found all over the United States, in every state of the union, with names like: Aryan Nation, The American Nazi Party, Church of the Creator, United White Peoples’ Party, and one of the oldest American hate terrorist groups, the Ku Klux Klan, which has many factions around the country. But you rarely think of these groups having much power or say in the jail and prison systems of the United States, where prisoners are watched twenty-four hours a day. But this is the very setting that makes it easy for them to recruit people to follow their messages of hate, people who already want to blame someone for their lives of bad addictions and choices, and extreme violence. “Prison officials estimate that up to 10 percent of the nation’s prison population is affiliated with such gangs” (Bigotry Behind Bars: Racist Groups in U.S. Prisons). These groups (or gangs as they are called ), recruit prisoners who are already prejudice against some minority or those who feel that they got a “bad break” somewhere along the way, and want to put a face on this perceived oppressor.

The Execution of Ted Bundy. Content Warning.
On January 24, 1989, the State of Florida executed serial killer Ted Bundy, nearly a decade after he first took his space on Death Row. Unlike executions before his, Bundy’s became a celebration for Floridians and people across the country who wanted nothing more than to see Bundy fry in the electric chair.

Is Our Prison System Really Effective?
America only has 4% of the total global population but over 25% of the world's prisoner population. This means, if my maths is correct, that if the U.S. had 20% of the world's population, then it'll have over 120% of the world's entire prison population, including its own.

James Ruppert: Ohio's most evil monster has died
My Facebook timeline recently displayed the face of one of Ohio's most despicable human beings. His name was James Ruppert and is enough to make any Ohioan cringe. He had 47 more years of life that he denied his family.
