building lives within prison

in an attempt at real public criminology, i wrote an essay that has just been published in the oregon humanities magazine. the oregon humanities magazine is published twice a year and each issue is built around a single theme. the theme of this issue is "domesticity," and i wrote about how men serving life sentences (or very long sentences) build lives and find meaning for themselves in prison.

to be clear, i had a great deal of help from my inside/inmate students who contributed most of the main ideas, examples, and points, and from the editor, kathleen holt, who did some major editing to make the essay fit into a humanities magazine. 8-10 of my inside students voluntarily took the time to write a few paragraphs or pages on their thoughts about domesticity in prison, and they then trusted me to try to turn the information they provided into a coherent essay. i think everyone feels pretty good about the final result. i am especially pleased to expose a different audience to the articulate and thoughtful voices of my inside students. maybe it will help remind us all that real lives continue behind prison walls every day.

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of hardship when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in big initial investment.
Now, I feel good, I started take up real income.
It gets down to choose a correct companion who utilizes your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, parts and divides the income with me.

You can ask, if there are such firms? I have to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:

I'm done with paying so much for tobacco cigarettes.A friend recommended [url=http://www.insanereleases.info/greensmokef.html]G Smoke[/url] According to their website this is how they described their product:
"Green Smoke offers supreme Electronic cigarettes with spendable cartridges that compose of the highest smoke volume in the industry. With a variety of flavors and nicotine levels, Green Smoke's™ patented product offers convenience and performance that is unmatched. G Smoke products have been independently tested for safety."
I'm thinking of buying them. Anyone else have experience with this e-cigarette?

No Deposit Bonus. This is simply free money. Honest online casinos will offer free casino chips with no strings attached, simply to attract people to play at their virtual tables. There will sometimes be minor strings attached. For example, the casino may ask for credit card details up front. Always read the terms.


If you did the same you'd have deposited $550 via Neteller $550, and have a total balance of $980. (PLUS another $50 in value for the Bentley Key Code.
Cash Balance: $550.00
Bonus Balance: $430.00
Total Balance: $980.00 (Almost doubled your money from the start)

The online casinos do offer free drinks or hotel room, but it offers free money, lotteries, and more stuff. One of the advantages of playing in online casinos is that you can save money on airline tickets, hotel rooms and that you think you can earn that money or use of this money to play in the online casinos. Drawbacks to play in the online casinos is that you do not get the free drinks while you play and you do not get to go out to clubs or places like if you go to Las Vegas.


It is very important that the casino you choose to register for the offer at any of your favorite games, such as virtual table games, slots and rollers. The online casinos usually have a list of games they offer on their website to see the potential players. In case your favorite games are not listed, it is advisable to proceed to the next casino.


One method to check the reliability of online casinos is to check the software vendor from whom they have leased their games. Currently, the casino software developers in the market who are reputed to produce ethical and quality casino software are Microgaming, Realtime Gaming, Playtech and CryptoLogic Inc.

The organization provides 1 [url=http://muachunggiatot.com/thoi-trang.html]deal gia re[/url] for each working day in every single of the marketplaces it serves. The Groupon operates as an assurance settlement making use of ThePoint's method: if a particular amount of males and women indicator up for the provide, then the offer you turns into accessible to all if the predetermined minimal is not satisfied, no a single will get the provide that operating day. This minimizes menace for stores, who can just take treatment of the coupon codes as amount particular discounts as effectively as income marketing devices. Groupon tends to make money by retaining about fifty % the resources the customer pays for the coupon.

For illustration, an $eighty therapeutic massage could be obtained by the buyer for $forty by means of Groupon, and then Groupon and the retailer would crack up the $40. That is, the retailer provides a therapeutic therapeutic massage valued at $eighty and receives around $twenty from Groupon for it (underneath a fifty%/fifty% break up). Or, if $240 worth of home portray vendors is purchased by the customer for $50 by way of Groupon, then the business gets $20 5 and Groupon keeps $twenty five. The client receives the therapeutic massage, or the home portray supplier, in these examples, from the retailer for which they to begin with paid $forty (or $fifty) to Groupon. There are certain firms to which Groupon to get started with did not source its services, this kind of as capturing ranges and strip clubs even so, capturing ranges have been highlighted on Groupon.

Not like classified promoting and marketing, the merchant does not shell out any upfront price to take part: Groupon collects person data from inclined purchasers and then contacts only men and women consumers, mainly by day-to-working day e mail, who could probably be intrigued in a specific product or provider.

Groupon employs a enormous variety of copywriters who draft descriptions for the bargains showcased by email and on the website. Groupon's marketing text for the 'deals' has been noticed as a contributing factor to the track record of the website, that involves a special blend of extensive truth-inspecting and witty humor.

Owing to Groupon's market place location receiving mainly composed of feminine shoppers, the gives are often targeted on the wellness, overall health and elegance marketplaces.

There are probably issues with the company item. For situation in position, a effective provide could quickly swamp a little company with also several consumers, jeopardizing a likelihood that buyers will be dissatisfied, or that there will not be sufficient product to satisfy the need to have. Gap, a huge clothes retailer, was in a situation to handle 445,000 coupon codes in a nationwide supply (despite the reality that it skilled server problems at one certain position), but a scaled-down sized company could grow to be out of the blue flooded with buyers. One particular espresso store in Portland, Oregon struggled with an increase in buyers for three months, when it presented close to to one,000 Groupons on the a single specific operating working day it was introduced, according to a one report. In reaction to equal problems, Groupon officials condition that 'deal' subscriptions should be capped in progress to a realistic sum.
