  Preparing for Prison (Do or Die)
Today, prison is still very much a closed world, and while within the past two decades TV cameras have occasionally been able to show a very limited view of life behind bars, they rarely capture anything more than that which the authorities wish them to see.
Prison Receptions, the entry point into any jail (unless you go straight to the punishment block - the segregation unit), have changed a lot since the days when you were very likely to be met with a beating, but they are still inevitably an unpleasant experience.
Prisoners are having to spend more time locked in their cells than for many years, but you should not be 'banged up' for more than 23 hours at a time.

 Ghosting (identity theft) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ghosting is a form of identity theft in which someone steals the identity, and sometimes even the role within society, of a specific dead person (the "ghost") who is not widely known to be deceased.
The purpose of ghosting is to enable the ghoster to claim for his or her own use an existing identity that is already listed in government records: an identity that is dormant because its original possessor is dead.
Also, gaps in the ghost identity's employment history (for the years between the ghost's death and the date when the ghoster claims that identity) will arouse less suspicion if the impostor is a woman, who might conceivably have spent the transition years as a homemaker with no wages.

 Ghost detainee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ghost detainee is a term used by Joint Interrogation and Debriefing Center (JIDC) at the Abu Ghraib prison to designate a person held in a detention center, whose identity has been hidden by keeping them unregistered and therefore anonymous.
The practice of ghosting first achieved widespread attention in 2004 when the Washington Post broke a story suggesting that the U.S. Army and the Central Intelligence Agency were detaining "enemy combatants" at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq with little or no due process.
The practice has been criticized by Amnesty International and other non-governmental organizations (NGOs) as improper and illegal because it prevents these prisoners from having contact with inspectors and human rights advocates, while the families of the victims are confronted with the fact of a "forced disappearance".

 Interview with Mark Barnsley
After more than a year locked up in prison I came to trial charged with injuring 5 of the middle-class thugs who'd attacked me. The trial was a farce, the prosecution withheld huge amounts of evidence, my attackers and the cops lied through their teeth, the judge used every dirty trick he could think of.

 Army Documents Shed Light on CIA “Ghosting” - Empire? - Global Policy Forum
Army and Pentagon investigations have acknowledged a limited amount of ghosting, but more than a dozen documents and investigative statements obtained by The Washington Post show that unregistered CIA detainees were brought to Abu Ghraib several times a week in late 2003, and that they were hidden in a special row of cells.
According to statements investigators took from soldiers and officers who worked at the prison, a stream of ghost detainees began arriving in September 2003, after military intelligence officers and the CIA came to an arrangement that kept the International Committee of the Red Cross and other humanitarian organizations from knowing the detainees existed.
Capt. Carolyn Wood, a military intelligence officer in charge of interrogations at Abu Ghraib, told investigators that she was one of a few who objected to the CIA using her facility for "overnight parking" of unregistered prisoners and that she expressed her "disapproval" to Pappas and Jordan.

 Torture and Prison Abuse - Occupation and Rule in Iraq - Global Policy Forum - UN Security Council
During the court martial of seven British soldiers, charged with the ill-treatment of nine Iraqi prisoners in Basra in 2003, the UK army’s high command was accused of violating the Geneva Conventions.
As with the previous abuse case, the prisoners were mostly Sunnis, in the custody of the Shiite-dominated Interior Ministry.
Iraqi prisons are running out of room for all the detainees held by US forces, "prompting commanders to embark on an unanticipated prison expansion plan." The number of prisoners has increased nearly 20 percent since the January 30 elections, reaching 11,350.

 UK Indymedia - John Bowden Writes From Glenochil Prison
The persecution and victimisation of prisoner activists by the prison authorities is as intrinsic to the role and function of the prison system as the injustice and abuse of power that characterises its treatment of all prisoners.
In the eyes of the prison system and those who enforce it, however, the most feared and hated prisoners of all are those identified as 'ringleaders' and 'subversives', prisoners who attempt to collectively organise and mobilise their fellow prisoners into resistance and protest.
The two fundamental criteria determining a life sentence prisoner's suitability for release, the expiry of the recommended period of time served in the interests of retribution, and the absence of any risk to the public, were both sufficiently established in my case.

A Navy report issued yesterday said there was evidence of about 30 ghost detainees, but Pentagon officials said they could find no evidence of a signed agreement.
"This prisoner and other 'ghost detainees' were hidden largely to prevent the International Committee of the Red Cross from monitoring their treatment, and to avoid disclosing their location to an enemy, officials said.
He was not held at Abu Ghraib, but at another prison, Camp Cropper, on the outskirts of Baghdad International Airport, officials said.

In a new department-wide directive on detention policy and a retooled Army field manual on interrogations, Pentagon officials demonstrated a dramatic shift in the way they view the treatment of detainees, and tacitly acknowledged the failures that led to allegations of abuse in U.S. facilities in Iraq, Afghanistan and at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

 Slant Magazine - DVD Review: A Man Escaped
In prison, the meek Fontaine (Francois Leterrier) awaits his inevitable execution, and in an attempt to forge a human connection with his fellow prisoners, he begins to scratch and pick at the walls of his cell.
This struggle for humanity is devastating, and certainly there's no sadder scene in the film than "the death of an unseen friend." The walls of Fontaine's cell represent not only his disconnect from the world but a disconnect from himself, and his escape from prison comes to symbolize the rebirth of his spirit.
Yes, there's plenty of talk about ghosts, temptation (one prisoner must decide if he wants to escape with Fontaine), the purging of sins, and relationships to no doubt sacred mothers, but A Man Escape isn't so much an avowal of religious dogma as it is a deeply humanistic proclamation of the power of faith.
