A Week in Chains
I was chatting with COPALPHAboy on Recon about the idea of going to a prison bootcamp for a week or more — if only such a place existed. That reminded me of the story A Week In Chains, which I believe is a true story that took place a long while back in the Philippines.
If anyone knows any more about prison bootcamps, please get in touch with me!
Locked up in Second Life
Did anyone catch that movie recently called Hot Tub Time Machine? One of the characters is a young guy who plays in Second Life — as an inmate in prison! My kinda guy. Check out a clip here.
That reminds me of Steel Vlodovic, shown here:
The first thing Steel did when he entered Second Life was check out the prison. He spent about three months locked up as an inmate at Ghul.
Maui prison
When I was in Hawaii recently I visited the Hale Pa’ahao prison on Maui. It was quite different from Alcatraz. Much more relaxed. It’s on the West Maui town of Lahaina, down a side street off the main drag where all the tourist shops are. It was interesting to see such a quaint, pleasant building — and of course they have a big palm tree out in front. The outer walls are made of coral.
With all the whaling going on there in the 1850s, apparently they needed a place to lock up the rowdy sailors who had too much to drink. But conditions weren’t very harsh at all, and the offenses for which you could get locked up for were relatively minor. About the worst thing you could get in trouble for was “disturbing the quiet of the night” or “lascivious conduct.”
The prison rules were relatively mild as well. But check out Rule No. 14 … now THAT one sounds interesting!
