The first time event that I remember best is my first time in Blue Water. It was a life altering event for me, and I am thankful for it. I forgot what the most important thing in life was, and I became a bad person and I did bad things, in turn ended me up in jail. I have to admit it at first I was scared so bad I was sick to my stomach. I remember the thoughts that were going through my head. I kept thinking about all the movies I have seen about jail, that just made it worse, and it really bothered me that I would have to get a strip search.
Once I was there, it had a smell that I could never forget; it was a sterile smell but at the same time grungy. I had to strip in front of a guard. He took my clothes and gave me burgundy shirt and sweat pants. After your search they take you to the doctors to look at you and see if you have any problems. Then a guard will take you to the admission house, it was called Trent House. Trent has 18 hour lock up and half an hour outside time. When you are in that house it has very limited privileges, also it has big, thick metal doors that have huge locks on them.
When I walked into the range I was scared, but I was trying to look like I wasn’t. When I got out of my room, I had one guy come up and tell me to fight someone, and told me if I didn’t that him and three other guys would jump me. The way people handle things in there is extremely different then the way people do in society. You have to fight for your respect, and that’s all that counts. I found myself not as afraid once you have some respect. Its not exactly like real jail, people don’t get raped or killed, but in a way it is in the fact fighting solves all problems.
When I was transferred to Georgian House I got that feeling in my stomach again, because Georgian held people that have worse crimes and have been there longer. It was the exact same, fight and people won’t bother you. We showered alone, and we only got a little paper cup of shampoo and a little bar of soap.
most of the units being understaffed, prison gangs and prison violence is hard to control in these type of
In addition to the prisoner-like living conditions, I am constantly fearful for my life. Bombs go off a few times a day at your least expected times and at night you wake
When someone visits a loved one in prison they have to go through a perilous process to be allowed inside the prison walls. This is is the process you will have to go threw; you have to go into a small room, show ID with child birth certificate only if they are too young to have ID, empty your pockets, got through a metal detector, then you get your items back, and through the process the officers examining your atiur to make sure you are wearing the right clothing, if not they will send you away. You are prohibited to wear gang affiliated colors, skirts, anything flashy or provocative (Weil “My First”). Once you finish the entering process you exit the room and end up outside to the front of the prison with fences on both sides and a concrete walkway. When you enter the prison you have to go through another metal detector then you enter a “lobby” some places have chairs or you just stand,
8 years of age walking on a dirt road looking at bizarre houses in a strange land but yet so familiar. it was 2004 my parents felt that there kids were losing touch with their culture and become too americanized. they decided to take us to iraq to show us the ways of our people the land we truly belong not the place we live in. that was the first time i been to iraq i lived there for 2 years while the country was extremely dangerous. i have seen many things that most children in america will probably never witness. some violent but most was the difference between america and iraq culture, the houses the roads the traditions even the way people dress and act. it was all influenced from different religions and landscape, it gave me a deeper appreciation
I’ve been locked up for 14 years i’ve tried to escape any way I could find.Every day I had to march to my cold cell and they’d tormented us for 30 minutes.They forced us eat canned dog food and buy overpriced water .Trying to not kill your aggravating inmates seven times a day was the hardest part of it all . We had to dress in these horrid jumpsuits and carry these heavy weights on our backs every single day ,they’d also make us do hard labor having to finish it every night. They would even have us ride buses with these pandemonium people.
Winter break of my eighth grade year my parents decided to go on a cruise. We would go on the cruise and visit Progresso and Cozumel, Mexico. I was less than excited because I did not want to lose wifi. I know I was a vain just fourteen years old. The port was in New Orleans so we ventured the eight hour drive to the port. We arrived and the luggage checks took forever. The lines were so long and I had just been in a car. I was already mad and then we took a family picture and I looked a mess. I became angry that we had to take our I.D. picture too. I wanted to look my best. I know I was a vain just fourteen years old. We get to our cabin and turn on the T.V. and there was breaking news. We were on the ship the day Sandy Hook took place. I was in utter shock. I still
Night terror is relatively unknown. For this reason, many confuse night terror and nightmare, which happens during another stage of sleep (REM). Moreover, night terror is less prevalent and affects a smaller percentage
Zartmans theory states that when a conflict is ripe it is ready to be negotiated. A ripe moment is described as when both parties of the conflict are ready to negotiate. In that moment the parties are willing to agree to a settlement that has been there the whole time, but only now it attractive to them (Zartman, 2001). Ripe moments rely on the occurrence of a mutually hurting stalemate. This occurs when both parties are in a position in the conflict where they cannot escalate to victory and this deadlock is painful to both parties (Zartman, 2001). The main condition of a mutually hurting stalemate is when both parties in conflict realize that they cannot achieve their goals by continuing violence and it is extremely costly to continue (Ramsbotham, 2011). Mutually hurting stalemates occur when there is a approaching, past or currently avoided catastrophic moment (Zartman, 2001). This catastrophic moment is the deciding factor if action will take place, if nothing is done at this moment than the situation will get worse (Zartman, 2001). Mutually hurting stalemates are based on a cost...
A few hours later they transfer me to another jail for more fingerprints and mugshots. I finally end up at 4th Ave they had everybody that had gotten arrested sitting either against a long white wall with a bench or in the tanks, which they’d put about 15 people in while they wait. I’m waiting in the tanks for more fingerprints along with about 13 other females. A lady in there was in the middle of dying her hair a bright red so it smelled strongly of ammonia, another lady was homeless and caught stealing shampoo from a CVS, while another was sitting huddled in the corner, shaking immensely coming down from her drugs; while I sat there, my mind silent. The whole night consisted of moving tank to tank, fingerprints, mugshots. Around 5 am everyone sat in a room waiting to be called before the judge. Still sitting in silence, I waited while the girl next to me kept falling asleep on my shoulder. I tried to discretely move away but was stuck between her and some black guy. Thankfully I was up
During the 1800s, the New York State Legislature enacted a law which set aside more than 750 acres of land central to Manhattan Island and created America 's first major landscaped public park; “The Central Park.” Relaxing in the biggest park in New York City and leaving all the disturbances behind in The Big Apple. Forests of trees and flowers will surround you; you would be amazed at the vast view of all trees. This is a place where you could actually forget all about New York City and just enjoy the fresh oxygen provided by the trees and relax in the sun. New Yorkers would mediate in the park, getting all the stress and pressure off your mind. In conclusion, New York City has many ubiquitous monikers that represent the old and historical part of New York City. This is the New York that I loved for fifteen years. The historical and cultural of New York City are what that make New York City unique and
With out actually being in prison it is hard for a person to grasp what it would actually feel like. The media gives us some idea but they are usually sugarcoated and do not give an accurate portrayal of prison life. A constant routine and hours of boredom constitute part of prison life. It is unfortunate that some people in our society are so bad that they have to go to such a facility.
Art through the ages has been a powerful voice for both secular and religious ideas, and the treasury of Christian art should not be relegated to museum viewing. The art should be displayed in the church were it is meant to be. Its richness can be brought to people in schools and adult study groups. This, in turn, can help to bring art up to the level, that the faith deserves. Churches should fill the walls with art to show what happened throughout the bible. Art creates connections and associations between what we see and what we sense happened. Both ritual and art challenge us to take us beyond the immediate, if they are to bring about true insight and transformation in our lives.
My second event was a little different. It was the event the totally changed my view of life. The unforgettable day was my wedding day. April 29th in the year 2002 was the day when I became responsible for my own life. Even though I have so many responsibilities I would never regret the moment I agreed to be my husbands wife. My wedding ceremony was the event that I dreamed of since I was a little girl. I imagined every detail of it. It was like a fairy tale wedding. I was wearing the most elegant dress in the world. There were three hundred people at the ceremony. I would never forget such a beautiful day.
New York City is the one place I would very much like to visit on our next class trip.
Incremental costs are narrowly related to the notion of marginal cost but the concept bears a relatively broader connotation. Marginal costs refer to the change in the total cost emanating from producing an extra unit of output, whereas incremental cost denotes to the total extra costs linked with the decision to add new variety of product or to expand output. It signifies the difference between two substitutes. So both concepts are concerned with the variance in the total cost where marginal costs denotes to the decrease or increase in that results from distributing or producing an extra unit of output and, increment cost means to the variance in the overall output that rises from change in the ways and means of distribution and production, e.g. addition of a territory or product, technological improvement or addition of a sales channel.
