Mike Mosko Urban Anthropology Field Study: Sidney’s Saloon Neighborhoods are changing -- fast -- often moving at a rate to quick to keep pace with. Everyday we walk down streets we’ve traversed thousands of times -- or will-- and everyday they get a little bit different, a collection of faces passing us by, old and new. I am one of those new faces, a recent New Orleans transplant. While I can 't speak to the impact of changes this city and its residents have gone through, being from heavily gentrified Oakland, CA, I can certainly relate to the twisted mess of pride, politics, and pain that comes with the feeling of being a newcomer in your own city.

On April 21st, 1930, Ohio State Penitentiary, which was built in Ohio’s capital, Columbus, in 1834, caught fire and killed hundreds of inmates. When returning for the night, they discovered that a fire was started within cell blocks G and H. It was only after the fire had been doused, that everyone had realized that the scaffolding, on the outside walls of those cell blocks, was what had caught fire. At the time, the prison was known for its poor conditions. The prison was only meant to hold 1,500 people, but at the time of the fire, it was housing 4,300 inmates. This disaster goes down in history as the worst fire at any prison in the United States.
This sentiment is universally shared amongst those who participated in this "Whiskey Rebellion". The "General" or President Washington instituted the whisky tax 3 years ago to remitt some of debt incurred during the war. These farmers resisted the tax because most of these frontiersmen do not use currency but rather use their fermented produce made into whiskey as their medium of exchange. They felt this tax directly infringed on the principles they fought for in the war. Washington and his new government maintained these taxes were legal and necessary for the health of the new nation.

The number of victims is estimated to be 27, and later discoveries of corpses revealed as many as 200.
Whistleblower: This Is Only The Beginning (Part One) For a couple of months, I had been the main software engineer of Zodiac Penitentiary, a high-security and remote prison located deep in the Appalachian Mountains. Compared to any ordinary prison that a normal citizen could possibly name, Zodiac Penitentiary remarkably resembled Pendennis Castle in Falmouth, Cornwall. It’s probably because the scientist who founded this nearly-unknown prison, Henry Willius, was from the same area.

The staff of St. Albans Sanatorium is ingenious when it comes to fundraising for their cause. “We hold any number of events to raise money for St. Albans,” said Marcelle Hanauer, director of operations for the sanatorium.

One of the issues that we kind of talked about during class was segregation. Through my notes for King Birmingham, it is known that the city Birmingham was the most segregated cities in the United States. I asked people why they thought about this city in Alabama and why was it so segregated. A lot of my response was how the old history was a different level of racist. One of my colleagues said how the old times was more racist than it is today.
Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary is arguably one the most infamous maximum security prisons in United States history that has witnessed the devastating aftermath of riots and attempted escapes resulting in numerous tragic casualties. After the Great Depression, a wave of crime flooded the nation, taking news headlines by storm and demonstrating a new era of organized crime by bank robbers, kidnappers, bootleggers, gangsters, and gamblers. These headlines put the spotlight on some of the most notorious criminals of their time including Al Capone, Gun Kelly, and Robert Stroud. In response to the alarming rise in organized crime, the head of the Federal Bureau of Prisons advocated for a prison to be built to house and contain the nation's most dangerous criminals unable to be tamed by any other penitentiary and place them in a remote location nearly impossible to escape from,
The US faces a very big and real problem that affects mainly repeat criminal offenders. Bail, which is a sum of money paid to a court to guarantee an appearance in court is very often set too high and does not consider current financial circumstances to the fullest. Infact, in New York City alone, one in ten defendants are unable to pay for bail at their arraignment (nytimes). Kenneth Humphrey, a retired 64 year old who had prior substance abuse and multiple felonies, followed a disabled man into his home and threatened him and demanded money, of which he got five dollars and a bottle of cologne (nytimes). His bail was set at three hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and being a retired shipyard worker, his retirement could not pay out.
