Louisville, Kentucky USA 21 April 2008 10:06 PM EST This shot was NOT easy due to another photographer trying to take this same night shot using a flash. From this vantage point, the city is one mile away. He ruined 5 of my long exposures with his flash. Finally, I politely ask him to please let me get one good shot. / MCN: C30-NP3U-4430 LIMITED EDITION PRINTS CLICK HERE

Pentridge Jail in Coburg, Victoria now not in use since 1997 prisoners transferred else where . The front part of this jail will be kept due to historical reasons but behind it is a huge housing development happening which takes up a fair bit of land that was once the prisons area the largest in the state.

My husband listening to Bruce Springsteen’s song American Skin, popularly called 41 Shots. A poignant and moving moment for me. Those of you who have not heard the song should give it a listen. The song was inspired by the New York City police shooting death of Amadou Diallo. Please read more about Amadou Diallo by clicking HERE WHAT DOES THIS WORK MEAN?

Immigration / MCN:C82-QGC1-2213 From Latina Lista Website: Immigrant detention is called “detention” because detainees are not being held for criminal charges. Immigrants are the only group of people in the United States that are routinely held in jail for civil offenses. Paradoxically, while immigrant detainees are held for lesser offenses, they can be held indefinitely, and they do not have the same legal protections, such as the right to free legal counsel, as people who have been charged with crimes.

Coal processing plant in Jefferson County Kentucky. This site is a stone’s throw across the Ohio River from the multi-million dollar Caesar’s Casino in southern Indiana. American Lung Association Air Quality Report CLICK HERE American Lung Association State of the Air 2006 In 2005, EPA announced another gutting of Clean Air Act rules for polluting industries, making public policy out of an industry excuse the Agency had fought in court in 2002. Then in February 2006, the U.S. Department of Justice, the federal government’s legal arm, announced that it was moving away from enforcing the law against the dirtiest of the industrial polluters, coal-fired power plants.

Check out the really cool greenhouse at the top! Hehehehe! That’s where the prisoners get to exercise “outdoors”. This shot was taken from the only vantage point where most of the building can be seen because of its height and location in the architectural canyons of Downtown Sacramento. It happens to be overlooking what used to humbly be called Gallo Park because the “winos” had completely taken it over in the 1970’s. It was hella embarrassing to the city; City Hall is still right across the street! So the park was renamed Cesar Chavez Park, renovated from end to end, and the “winos” were all kicked out – for about a month. Every now and then, some eager beat cop rousts a few for being a public nuisance and occasionally one gets ‘free rent and board with greenhouse exercising privileges’ but, for the most part, this ground is immune to the usual vagrancy codes and homeless are allowed to sleep there during the day as long as nothing special (read “political”) is planned for the park.

“The only benefit to America in maintaining prohibition [on drugs] is the psychic comfort we derive from having a permanent scapegoat. But why did we have to pick an enemy the warring against which is so self-destructive? We would be better off blaming our ills on celestial invaders flying about in saucers.” William F.

“Medical marijuana has strong support from United States voters and health organizations. The federal government steadfastly refuses to change marijuana’s illegal status at the federal level.

I am in Jail.. / GoldenTower of damp stonewalls.. / I am in a painful abduction of the senses, / by my own fathomed image. / I am the reflection of a barred window.. / Any light can get into.. / refracted.. / oganized as a mindful logical event. / I need the anarchy of my senses.. / the wings of self complacency.. / a sight of a crooked horizon.. / beyond my wishes.. / and beyond my rememberings. I am altive.. / I am a prisoner of self deception.. / I am any thing that could be hidden.. / behind the iron mask of denied approval… / but I stay… too… naked.. / and my skin is real.. / streched as my limbs.. / towards a soul catched in my magic mirror. Dethroned Empress… / Lusty Popess. / Prisoner Star.. / Not what i dreamed… / And still… lips mine… are there.. / Sucking the freedom out of.. / my heart … / beating coocon… / of blind-love buterfies. / (Rosa Cobos) © Copyright 2008 Rosa Cobos .
