Wayne Williams was charged with murdering two people in Atlanta, Georgia. Shockingly enough, he was also linked to the killing of ten other boys. The way the evidence effected this trial is what makes the case so well known. There were 28 different types of fibers linking Williams to the murder victims.

Terry Tempest Williams and Wangari Maathai are both very powerful women who devoted their lives to improving the world one step at a time. Williams, the author of Refuge, is a naturalist, a feminist, and a writer who brings such power into everything she touches. Her passion for change has brought so much goodness into the world. She has beat many obstacles, including her own struggle with herself, which to her is the same fight we have with nature, and finally accepting the outcome; whatever that may be unnatural, or natural, is the secret to life. While we read about what Terry Tempest Williams writes about her mother’s difficulties while struggling with cancer, we also have Wangari Maathai speaking about all the violence she faces in Kenya.
Johnathan Wayne Nobles I believe was not truly rehabilitated. Although he did find a change in himself by becoming involved in Catholicism and attended Mass.(pg.75) Yes, this can cause somebody to change and become a better person, Johnathan only did this to seek righteousness, attention, and forgiveness for the crime he permitted and to be saved and able to go home the lord when his execution day came. In the book Steve explains that, when Johnathan arrived at Ellis he quickly alienated all the guards and most of the inmates. he once broke away from guards and climbed an exposed pipe and bars in the cell block, kicking down
Early in Marshall´s life he and his mother who only was 15 when she got Marshall bounced back and forth between Kansas City and Detroit. They lived in public house systems so they moved a lot and Marshall was forced to constantly change schools and start over from scratch in his social life.

He was always an outsider, struggling to find friends and any safe place he could be in. He was also a target
He writes about how new prisoners are not receiving the same rehabilitation as he did when he first entered the prison system 17 years ago. Hopkins acknowledges that if he was born later he may still be in prison. Hopkins’ writes, “ The idea is to make prison a secular hell on earth- where the young potential felon will fear to go, where the ex-con will fear to return.” This is very effective as it makes the reader empathize with the new coming prisoners and how they are subjected to the poor rehabilitation programs offered. There is an underlying theme throughout the essay in that prisoners are treated like animals and are thrown in cages regardless of their

He was full of anger and despair. For this reason, he behaved badly: “He once broke away from guards while being returned to his cell from the exercise yard…” wrote Earle. But somehow, after a while, he began to change his behavior. He became concerned about God, and therefore, he became interested in religion. He was no longer the problematic prisoner he became loved and respected by all.
I have researched a case that had happened here in my own town not long ago a good man we called (Pops) was shot and killed.

2) Meursault, talking about prison stated “it was one of Maman’s ideas . . . that after a while you could get used to anything.” At first Meursault struggled going without women, cigarettes, and nature. During a conversation he had with a guard he said he thought that it was unfair treatment. “But that’s why you’re in prison. . . .Well yes – freedom, that’s why. They’ve taken away your freedom.” After a while Meursault adjusted to the differences. He learned to sleep as a way to pass the time. He would reminisce on past sexual encounters. He would think back to all the objects he had in his room, where they were, and details on them. “I realized then that a man who had lived only a day could live a hundred years in prison. He would have enough memories to keep him from being bored.” Despite his physical imprisonment Meursault still had his mental freedom. He was able to recount past experiences and let his mind wander. Meursault was able to still think his own thoughts and have his own opinions because these are things which every man is granted that shall never be taken from him.

Karl wasn't who enjoyed being subservient to others, however neither was a well-educated man, or one who'd been raised with the privileges that would have allowed him to attend a presitigious college. He'd achieved his position through as Chief of Huntington Security sheer hard work, the possession of street-smarts, and a willingness to do whatever it took. However, in the end, he was nothing but an employee and servant; Huntington's lap-dog; and if he'd had the insight to look inwards, he may have realised that his perception of Alexandra for her weakness, may well have been a reflection on himself, and that his desire to fuck the Heiress wasn't solely due to who she was, but also a way to gain a small measure of revenge on the Patriarch, and prove to himelf that he wasn't one afraid to take matters into his own hands, or exert control, regardless of the possible consequences. No-one told Karl Williams who he could sleep with, or who he needed to respect, irregardless of if was his own employers precious, and untouchable, daughter.
