You could say that the ghost was Bev’s “old flame.”

Another reason for the private prison system to incarcerate more people.

So I went to Stonehill which is in North Easton, but anytime I had to tell someone where it, was people thought I went to Northeastern. My Boston accent didn’t help me with this.

My wife and daughter were there. Didn't hear it but got caught in the mad rush to leave. Home safe and incredibly freaked out.

Seems like it may have been gang related. It was a bit of mass confusion, no one knew what was going on. People were still showing up to the mall like nothing happened.

Finally some news. We were there and escaped, it was scary and confusing. I didn't hear anything but we hid in a store.

Or, they could be kept the 71, the 73, and the other electrified buses in service.

Even better idea: allow people to get paid for kidney, liver, and marrow donation. The insane prudishness and moralizing we have around the normal concept of getting paid for donations results in a lot of death and suffering. The USA is the source of 70% of the world’s blood plasma, vital for everything from battlefield medicine to critical pharmaceuticals, all because we allow people to get paid for it. The net good of allowing sales of liver, kidney, and marrow so drastically outweighs the negative.

So long as it’s not coercive (they aren’t getting punished or having their sentences elongated for not donations) there is nothing ethically dubious about it. Who cares they are getting something in return? Do we expect the farmer to grow food simply because it’s morally good to feed people or the doctor to forgo payment for services because it’s the right thing to do?
The world would be better if we dropped the insane prudishness and high minded moralizing around organ and marrow donation. The USA is the source of 70% of the world’s blood plasma, because we allow people to be paid for it. Allowing people to get paid for doing something good, whether in money or reduce prison sentences, is morally fine. It generates new organs and marrow that will save peoples lives, lives which otherwise probably wouldn’t be saved. So then how can you say that’s bad?
In fact, we should allow markets for kidney, liver, and marrow - all are things that can be donated safely without significant long-term problems for the donater, and will save peoples lives (and also money by cutting down on the amount of time people are waiting for a donation).

This country will never stop extracting everything possible from the working class, but especially those incarcerated.

I found the uncomfortably cold when we went a few years ago. Like, I couldn’t even swim because the air was so cold and the room with the pool was so drafty. Overall not impressed.
