Women in Prison
Women's propensity for violence defies societal norms. Female inmates in Indiana are involved in violent offenses, which contradicts the common belief that women are inherently gentler. The case of Sarah Pender sheds light on the strict disciplinary actions enforced at the Indiana Women's Prison. She managed to escape with the help of a correctional officer, planning the breakout during the refueling of a transportation van. Pender collaborated with the officer in smuggling contraband to finance the escape. During discussions, she disclosed her involvement in a robbery without weapons and explained that her criminal behavior began at a young age due to anger issues. Despite struggling with her past mistakes, Pender is determined to be a better parent to her two daughters and break the cycle of incarceration in her family. She is actively working on controlling her anger, inspired by her children, and is eager to make positive changes upon her release. Adapting to life after prison presents its own set of challenges, including staying clean and readjusting to the outside world. Pender has mixed emotions about reentering society but is looking forward to embracing technology and acquiring new knowledge post-release.

Inside Alpha Bay
The illicit online marketplace Alpha Bay was a hub for illegal trade, generating nearly $500 million annually. It served as a platform for anonymous transactions of prohibited items, such as drugs and weapons, through a sophisticated and seemingly legitimate interface. Alpha Bay played a significant role in the global drug trade, shifting the focus from local to international dealings by adopting a model similar to Amazon for unlawful products. The permanence of one's online identity poses potential risks, as past actions can resurface in the future. Thailand's lack of interception laws has made it a target for hackers worldwide, who exploit this loophole to carry out cyber-attacks without repercussions. Bitcoin is commonly used for anonymous transactions on the dark web, offering a level of financial secrecy not achievable with traditional currencies. Alpha Bay ensured end-to-end anonymity for illegal transactions, utilizing PGP authentication for privacy-centric account registration. Initially known for selling stolen data, Alpha Bay eventually became synonymous with the drug trade. It is crucial to exercise caution when engaging in black market activities on the dark web in Thailand, as law enforcement agencies work together to combat illegal operations within the country.
