I received one of the most depressing pieces of mail I’ve ever encountered on Tuesday.
I should set the stage by mentioning that I’ve recently had occasion to think about prison reform in the US. I was invited to a meeting by Open Society Institute in New York which looked at some length at the problems of America’s criminal justice system: extremely high rates of incarceration, huge racial disparities in sentencing, and the fact that six of ten African-American high scho... more

Like a museum, perhaps? A mvsevm, even. Well, they tried a mvsevm down on South Main, and it just didn’t work out. In fact, Mrs. Mary Fraser is downright peeved. It seems she was shown the Roma Hotel by agents who described it as “a nice quiet place,” and she signed ... more

November 11, 1927 Los Angeles Mrs. Marie Steen was minding her own beeswax tonight in her home at 8619 Grape Street , when a short, heavy-set man appeared at her door. He informed her that her husband had been in an accident, and that she’d better board the eastbound R car , go to the end of the line and meet the man who’d take her to her husband. Marie did as she was told, and at the end of the car line was met by a man in a new automobile who took her north on Easte... more
