Indianapolis, Indiana, Is a beautiful city. It is home to numerous war memorials, second only to Washington, DC. However, it is a long way from my home town in Louisiana and not only in distance.

I decided to embrace this with this essay, so I began to look for a site-specific public sculptor that has meaning to…

When one lives in Hamilton Country and is used to a low crime rate, one’s perception of Marion County’s crime rate is that it is a lot…

Our criminal justice class took a trip to the Huntington and Wabash county jail this week. I was very excited to go on these trips since I had never actually got the opportunity to go into the main parts of the jail before. I was intrigued to learn more information about the jails and how they operate. To my surprise, there were many differences and similarities between the two jails. The Huntington County jail (HCJ) is located in downtown Huntington, catty corner from the court house. Having…

His parents Ann Iverson and Allen Broughton were only 15 at the time that they had Allen. His father left shortly after…
