Cheryl Compton 23 August, 2010 author - Cheryl Compton / ONE-10 • Aug 2010 • Prison States of Mind

Learn how to write a screenplay for the low price of only $299.99! — or at least that’s what the Hollywood establishment would like you to believe. As an aspiring screenwriter, my email overflows every single day with offers and claims from various ‘pros’ pitching their latest book or workshop: …

John Moore 23 August, 2010 ONE-10 • Aug 2010 • Prison States of Mind

In 1811, by municipal decree, Manhattan Island, between 14th and 155th Streets, was cordoned off into a carefully plotted rectilinear street grid — avenues run north and south, streets east and west. The first New World city to adopt such a plan, New York was ripe for commercial expansion north …

Lisa Del Rosso 23 August, 2010 author - Lisa Del Rosso / ONE-10 • Aug 2010 • Prison States of Mind

On May 17, 2010, the justices of the US Supreme Court, in a miraculous decision, barred life terms for young offenders who haven’t committed murder. Miraculous because the current court leans decidedly to the right, and also because we in the US are very good at locking up and throwing …
