Fuck. I’m sorry I missed the Grammys this year. In addition to Lady Gaga’s Bowie tribute there was also apparently a prison-themed performance by Kendrick Lamar. Fucking hot if you ask me. I got a screen shot:

‘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.
Metal would like to thank RH of Mencomix for passing this along.
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.
Alcatraz
Thanks to Serious Male Bondage for today’s pictures!
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.
