The Prisoner

German III 02 February 2016 The “Fritz Ritz”: Camp Hearne Prisoner of War camps are a ghastly thing to think about. When mentioned, the horrors of Soviet and Nazi camps rush to mind, thoughtless massacres done by underlings for the “greater good”. Camp Hearne, however, is different. A Prisoner of War, or POW, camp now located in Hearne, Texas, Camp Hearne kept around 48,000 Nazi soldiers. The first shipment arrived in 1943 with prisoners from Hitler’s Afrika Korps. Camp Hearne is now a museum,…

“If you did the crime, you should do the time.” This quote represents how many American citizens feel about incarcerated prisoners. Citizens usually do not have much sympathy for those who abuse their constitutional rights and create crimes within society.

The eighth amendment protects every American citizen’s right from cruel and unusual punishment,…

Also, prisoners get little care in prison (bad food, little health care, etc.) The food is really bad, but they have no choice but to eat it. Some get medical help, but most of the time not as fast as they need it. "How much of a security risk could a terminally ill, physically weak 65-year-old man really pose?" (Allison and Hattenstone 2013). Michael Tyrrell, 65, was sentenced to 29 years in prison for drug smuggling. He served 13 years because he passed away from throat cancer. Even when he…

I did this to determine whether the author’s knowledge was intimate or perceptive, so that I would…

For example, Beck stated that people frequently frame outgroups unfavorably, whether if that means to engage in prejudice, stereotypes, or intolerance towards the other. He further enforces this point by noting the contrasts in the ways people treat others based on if they are perceived as the other or…

experiences can make the most important impacts. In “Prisoner of Tehran”, Marina Nemat utilizes setting and quotes to convey her many challenges that someone at her age should have never encountered. These challenges triggered memories of her earlier childhood before being arrested. In 246, Marina experienced discomfort and fear. In the different prison she met Taraneh and got to see her old friend Sarah. 246 did not have enough room for all the prisoners. “During the time of the Shah, 246,…
