https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vlOREjaRBoDear friends, my wife, Pauline who is the co-founder of CURE, was instrumental back in the nineties to have Congress pass the Family Unity Demonstration Project (FUDP). Mothers (& fathers) would be able to serve their non-violent sentences in alternative settings with their young children. The people incarcerated called it the 7-7 program. The sentence had to be less than seven years and the children had to be less than seven years old.
However, Pauline was not getting support for the funding of FUDP. Once, when we were sitting on a bench near the Senate, one of the key Senators walked by, and Pauline took off after him. When she returned I asked her what he thought of FUDP. Pauline said that he thought it was "a good program".
The funding never did come since by then others were in charge, but that Senator is still around. His name is Joe Biden.
FUDP is an example of what the video talks about below. And these alternatives are needed more than ever in the COVID-19 crisis. Charlie
#BangkokRules10: Let's drive real change for women in prison
On 28 April 2020, Andrea C. B., a 30-year-old Native American woman and mother of a new-born baby, died after contracting the coronavirus and giving birth. She had given birth just a few weeks earlier while on a ventilator. She contracted COVID-19 in prison, where she had just started serving a two-year sentence for selling methamphetamine.
Andrea should not have ended up in prison in the first place. And she is not the only one.
Like her, many women incarcerated around the world have committed minor offences. Many have a history of victimisation, poverty, discrimination and mental health problems. Many are mothers or carers. For them, prison is not the right response.
However, we are locking up more women than ever. The number of women imprisoned globally has grown by 50% in the past ten years.
When women are imprisoned, their rights and needs are often neglected.
They are often detained far from home, isolated from family and support.
Behind bars, they can face violence and harassment. Trans women are especially vulnerable.
Ten years ago, the UN Bangkok Rules were adopted. They set out a better world for all women in contact with the law.
To mark their 10th anniversary, we are launching a year-long campaign.
Our goal: to help create a world where there are alternatives to prison for women like Andrea.
And if detention is the only option, a world where prisons meet the needs of all women.
We will support and mobilise independent oversight bodies - and especially national preventive mechanisms - to drive changes at the national level.
National preventive mechanisms are genuine drivers of change.
• Unrestricted access to places of detention
• Review prison records
• Private interviews with women detainees, staff and relatives
• Make concrete recommendations based on their findings
They contribute to changes in laws, policies and practices by engaging in sustained dialogue with the authorities.
These bodies are uniquely placed to drive reforms to policies and procedures to improve how women in prison are treated. They can also promote the use of non-custodial measures.
We will provide practical support across all aspects of their work – monitoring, reporting and advocacy – as well as share good practices to inspire new approaches and collaboration.
Lasting change happens when we all work together.
Join our campaign.

December 20, 2020
Bud Abbott was investigated for porn
The BBC reported that the FBI released files on certain celebrities back in 2012, including Abbott and Costello. Under the watch of J. Edgar Hoover, Abbott drew the agency’s attention for pornography. The Los Angeles police shared details with the FBI.
“A police informant furnished information to the effect that Bud Abbott, the well-known motion picture and television star, is a collector of pornography, and alleged he has 1,500 reels of obscene motion pictures which he shows in his home where he has a projector of his own.”
Lou Costello in trouble over ‘lewd’ activities
According to files dated 1948, Costello was in hot water over receiving and showing obscene films. The FBI memo dated January 1948 described a 1944 incident:
In October of 1944 during the course of an investigation of a purported ring of obscene motion picture operators in Hollywood, information was received that the best-known customers for obscene film in Hollywood were Red Skelton, Lou Costello, George Raft and others. One informant, who, it has been shown, tends to exaggerate the facts, said that Lou Costello had the largest library of obscene film in Hollywood. The informant remarked that Costello “had it running out of

The FBI agent who first knew of a foul-up with Oklahoma City bombing documents did not inform his superiors about it for months.
Why the FBI disclosed that it had failed to turn over more than 3,000 investigative records just a week before Timothy McVeigh's execution is one of the most perplexing questions in the documents controversy.
Danny Defenbaugh, the lead investigator of the Oklahoma City bombing case who was in charge of collecting investigative documents, said the FBI had an inkling that something was amiss as early as January, according to a summary of a briefing Defenbaugh gave to members of the Senate Judiciary Committee
