‘Prison System 4614’ (German: ‘Haftanlage 4614’)
You guys have to check this out! It’s a documentary film called “Prison System 4614” (German: “Haftanlage 4614”) that is playing in Berlin as part of the International Film Festival in Berlin (Berlinale) that is going on right now! It’s about a private prison where paying guests can get locked up. The description reads in part,
“Even when using the whip these ‘torturers’ never forget to be humane and, in spite of their tough prison warder guise, they are fully aware, in a way that is almost caring, of their responsibility for those in ‘detention.’”
The film is directed by Jan Soldat.
More information about “Prison System 4614” (German: “Haftanlage 4614”), including show times, is available here and here.
ALSO: The director, Jan Soldat, also made a documentary film about Klaus, a man and his desire to live as slave.

The Yuma Territorial Prison
By ty dehner
The Yuma Territorial Prison was used in the early days of the foundation of Arizona Territory. As you can imagine it was a brutal place to be locked up at during the long hot summer of the desert. Now a State Park, there is very little left of the original prison, but there are some parts — and that is what my photos show. Interestingly, there are still graffiti from the former inmates on some of the walls.

Good book
I just finished Alcatraz From Inside, written in the first person by a man who was locked up on “The Rock” for a decade and was involved in two escape attempts:
It’s an amazing story. It shows how easy it is to get started in a life of crime, and how difficult it is to stop. The author eventually was released on parole and re-invented himself as an x-ray technician.
You can get this book on Amazon.

I wore this out in public a couple of times over the past week:
Last Saturday I went to a couple of bars, including The NYC Eagle for NYBOL’s Frat Night party. I ran into a bunch of old friends and new acquaintances, including Neil the Erotic Hypnotist, “the Twink,” David Stein, londonslv and of course my favorite bartender — Gregory (who now has is very own Tumblr feed, check it out!).
It was fun to see people’s reactions. I rode Citibikes everywhere and got all sots of comments from passers-by and motorists. On the way home last Saturday I ran into a very hot Clark Kent, who said he liked my “jailbreak city” outfit.
I also wore this to my gay bowling league, but I was the only one who dressed up for that.
Anyway, if you’ve ever wanted to walk around outside in a prisoner uniform and handcuffs, Halloween is the perfect “cover” to get away with it.
Happy Halloween, everyone!
Coming soon: A Corrections Officer calendar!
Who needs a firefighter or cops calendar when you can look at these guys!
The smoking hot corrections officers from Ireland (pictured above) are making a calendar to help raise money to fight cancer.
