John George Haigh. No this speech isn’t about the English footballer who died at 101 years old. This is about a man who killed people then disposed of their bodies in barrels of acid. Yes, you heard me right, acid. In the reports it says that Haigh killed 6 people, but he told the police that it was 9.

Profundis was written in 1897 in prison over a course of three months. It is basically a letter from Wilde to himself written in an effort for Wilde to find a way to rationalize his sufferings in prison. In De Profundis, the movement for Wilde to Wandsworth and Reading was a transition from the self-definition of Wilde to the featureless and ritualized existence of a prisoner.

Sympathy in The Film Let Him Have It Bias is prejudice in favour of or against one thing, person or group compared with another, especially in a way considered to be unfair. Film directors use bias when making a film because they want the viewers to have particular feelings towards the situation or one or more of the characters for example sympathise with them.

Prison has held a place in our society for centuries. Throughout history, prisoners have been incapacitated in a vicious environment and that still rings true today. A person’s experience in prison can greatly vary. It may be a place of solace for those that are homeless because they have three meals and a bed to sleep in every night.

Bribery and corruption is a way of life in many countries. These practices affect the way international business is regularly conducted.

For example if you commit a crime like Murder and you are convicted of murdering someone you could end up being killed by "The Electric Chair" or you could get an injection that will kill you. Capital Punishment is an interesting topic because people have debated about this subject for years. The question I have chosen for my PRS
