Podcasts about Offenders

Alcatraz could soon be reopened as a prison. The facility on a small island in San Francisco was closed as a prison in 1963 and has since been turned into a tourist destination. But President Donald Trump says he wants the facility reopened to house the most dangerous criminals. And while some have suggested the prison is not feasible because of its limited space and high maintenance costs, Trump says it will act as a symbol of law and order.Views expressed in this episode are opinions of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

It's Thursday, May 8th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Iran continues to imprison Christian pastor and wife Authorities in Iran continue to hold a pastor's wife, 56-year-old Lida Alexani, in solitary confinement after arresting the pastor, reports Article 18. Iranian-Armenian pastor Joseph Shahbazian was arrested in February and sent to the infamous Evin Prison in Tehran. He has faced prison time before for participating in a house church and collecting tithes. Authorities also arrested his wife last month. Iran has criminalized offering tithes to support church activities. The country is ranked ninth on the Open Doors' World Watch List of nations where it is most difficult to be a Christian.  India launched air strikes on Pakistan On Tuesday, India launched air strikes on Pakistan. India said it was in retaliation for an attack last month from alleged Pakistani nationals. India and Pakistan are on the brink of a wider conflict. Local church leaders are calling for Christians to pray for the countries. Bishop Nadeem Kamran is the head of the Anglican Church of Pakistan's Diocese of Lahore. He told Christian Daily International, “As the fear of war looms over the subcontinent, I ask all Christians in the two countries to observe … a day of prayer and fasting for peace in the region.” In 1 Timothy 2:1-2, the Apostle Paul wrote, “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.” Trump's truce with Houthis On Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced a truce with the Houthis in Yemen. The United States has been carrying out strikes on the Houthis in Yemen for weeks. This is in response to the Houthis attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea. Despite the truce, the Houthis said they will continue attacks on Israel in support of Palestinians in Gaza. Listen to Trump's comments at an Oval Office meeting. TRUMP: “The Houthis have announced that they don't want to fight anymore. We will honor that. We will stop the bombings. They have capitulated.” Trump will rebuild and reopen Alcatraz off San Francisco coast President Trump announced Sunday he is directing the Bureau of Prisons to rebuild and reopen Alcatraz. The small island is located 1.25 miles offshore from San Francisco near the Golden Gate Strait. The island was developed in the mid-19th century with facilities for a lighthouse, a military fortification, and a military prison. In 1934, the island was converted into a federal prison, Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary. The strong currents around the island and cold water temperatures made escape nearly impossible. The prison became one of the most notorious in American history. Trump posted on Truth Social that the infamous former prison will “house America's most ruthless and violent Offenders. We will no longer be held hostage to criminals, thugs, and judges that are afraid to do their job and allow us to remove criminals, who came into our Country illegally. The reopening of ALCATRAZ will serve as a symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE.” The prison closed 60 years ago, but once housed the likes of Al Capone, George “Machine Gun” Kelly, and James “Whitey” Bulger. HHS denounces misguided treatments for gender confusion The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released a report last Thursday, denouncing so-called treatments for gender confusion. The study evaluated the impact of transgender drugs and surgeries on children.  The department noted, “These interventions carry risk of significant harms including infertility/sterility, sexual dysfunction, impaired bone density accrual, adverse cognitive impacts, cardiovascular disease and metabolic disorders, psychiatric disorders, surgical complications, and regret.” Federal Reserve keeps interest rate in the 4.25%-4.5% range The Federal Reserve decided to keep interest rates unchanged on Wednesday.  The Fed's benchmark interest rate remains at 4.25% to 4.5%. The Fed warned of potentially higher unemployment and inflation as the economy adjusts to President Trump's tariff plan. Meanwhile, Trump continues to call for lower interest rates. World's largest page of Bible just printed to honor Gutenberg Press And finally, the International Gutenberg Society printed the world's largest page of the Bible, measuring 38 square yards, on April 26th, 2025 in Mainz, Germany. The event commemorated the 625th anniversary of the birth of Johannes Gutenberg. The German inventor created the moveable-type printing press. And he produced the first printed version of the Bible. The Gutenberg printing press revolutionized the dissemination of the Bible, making it more accessible to a wider audience than ever before. Prior to Gutenberg's invention, Bibles were hand-copied, a laborious process that made them expensive and rare. The printing press allowed for mass production, increasing availability and lowering costs. This led to a surge in literacy, the spread of the Bible, and Christianity. The commemorative event showcased a massive copy of the first page of John's Gospel. It was made from the largest industrial paper rolls available and covered nearly 400 square feet.  John 1:1-4 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, May 8th, my 59th birthday, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

4:05- - Alex Stone, President Trump said in a post to Truth Social on Sunday that he is ordering the Bureau of Prisons to reopen and expand the famed Alcatraz Island prison, which lies off the coast of San Francisco, "to house America's most ruthless and violent Offenders."  The prison was closed in 1963 due to crumbling infrastructure and the high costs of repairing and supplying the island facility, because everything from fuel to food had to be brought by boat. Add to that: "The Rock" is a major tourist site that is operated by the National Park Service and is a designated National Historic Landmark. Alcatraz gets about 1.6 million sightseers and generates about $60 million annually.   4:20pm – Conway Crew's Cinco De Mayo celebration plans and what is Cinco De Mayo?  4:35— Michael Monks, L.A. mayor says animal shelters won't close.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 179-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 20,353 on turnover of 3.7-billion N-T. The market closed sharply lower on Monday with export-oriented tech stocks in focus as the New Taiwan dollar continued its rapid appreciation (上漲) against the U-S dollar, which raised concerns over large foreign exchange losses. FDA defends unchanged policy on ractopamine checks The Food and Drug Administration is defending its decision to not strengthen random inspections for ractopamine in pork products despite detecting residues of the leanness-enhancer in imported pork from Australia It's the first time that ractopamine has been found in imported pork since the ban on it was lifted in 2021. According to the F-D-A, a shipment of 22.99 metric tons of pork items from Australia tested positive for 0.001-parts per million of ractopamine - and that figure is well within the F-D-A's standards for ractopamine limits. The F-D-A says random inspections for qualified products will not be strengthened - as all products that qualify for importation will not harm human health even they are consumed (吃，喝) every day or for a lifetime. Magnitude 5.9 earthquake in Hualien the 'main shock' The Central Weather Administration's Seismological Center says Monday evening's magnitude 5.9 earthquake that struck about 33-kilometers off the coast of Hualien City was the "main shock" in a series of quakes in the area. The magnitude 5.9 earthquake that struck at 6:53PM and was felt across much of the island. However, prior to that, six other earthquakes of greater than magnitude of 4 occurred in the same area. Seismological Center director Wu Jien-fu says the quakes were all part of the same series (系列) and that a magnitude 5.5 temblor that struck at 6:09PM was a "foreshock" to 5.9 magnitude quake. According to Wu, aftershocks in the magnitudes of between 5 and 5.5 range could occur in the coming three days. US Opponents Blast Trump's Plans for Alcatraz US president Donald Trump says he plans to reopen the notorious Alcatraz prison in the San Francisco Bay to house what he called "America's most ruthless and violent Offenders." Local officials immediately criticized the plan as unfeasible (不可行的). Ira Spitzer reports from San Francisco. Canada Alberta Referendum on Separation The premier of Alberta says she will hold a referendum next year on the energy rich province separating from Canada if citizens gather the required number of signatures on a petition. Speaking on a livestream address, Danielle Smith said she personally does not support the province leaving Canada and expressed hope of a “path forward” for a strong and sovereign Alberta within a united Canada. Smith accused previous federal Liberal governments of introducing different legislations that hamstring Alberta's ability to produce and export oil, which she said has cost the province billions of dollars. The announcement comes just one week after Prime Minister Mark Carney led the Liberal Party to a fourth consecutive (連續的) federal government. It also comes as U.S. President Donald Trump continues to threaten Canada with tariffs and talk of the country becoming the 51st state. That was the I.C.R.T.

Mark Mitchell, he's got a bit on his plate at the moment. He'll be happy with the score he got from Audrey Young in her ranking of ministers for midterm, but I reckon he is holding on to a ticking time bomb. This is the case of the beautiful young Colombian woman in Christchurch living next door to a monster. She didn't know he'd been let out of prison 10 weeks before he raped her and stabbed her to death. He was on parole, by the way. And here's the problem: Corrections knew he was, quote, “a high, high, high risk”. Any young attractive woman near him would be a target. Poor Juliana Bonilla-Herrera. She lived next door. She didn't know about his past and Corrections somehow didn't know she'd moved in next door to this animal. Now, since we spoke about this the other day, a couple of things have happened. A couple of updates for you, and this is where Mitchell comes in. This guy was on parole right, which means he's been let out of prison early. Could still be in prison, but you're not because we've let you out. Now you wonder how many other high-risk offenders like this guy are released from prison early. And is this, you know, a good idea? Well, a senior Correction staffer this week says they're regularly being let out early and let into the community. Not just people like this guy, but people with quote, “even higher risk”. Here's what I reckon: this case, and a long list of parole botch ups before it, are all the evidence you need that we can't trust the system once these guys make it outside. The government should immediately pause the release of high-risk violent thugs into our communities. Everyone loves to talk about safety first, well here's a bloody good place to start. This ticking time bomb is in Mark Mitchell's lap. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Victoria has introduced new laws aimed at tackling hate speech more effectively. The state parliament has passed the “Anti-vilification and Social Cohesion” bill, which imposes tougher penalties for serious vilification — including inciting hatred or issuing physical threats. Offenders could now face up to five years in prison. Tune in to this podcast to hear Premier Jacinta Allan's thoughts on the legislation and whether it risks limiting freedom of speech.

I'm liking what Sir Ron Young is saying about prison sentences today. He's really challenging us, saying that we need to re-think what we do with people given sentences of two-to-three years. He's talking about not sending them to conventional prisons and giving them conjugal rights. This is how they deal with things in Scandinavian countries. He thinks we should do the same here. And I reckon we should too. He's the outgoing head of the Parole Board and he's saying that short prison sentences aren't working and we need to have a re-think. He's saying that offenders who are sent to prison for this amount of time are more likely to re-offend, compared to people who go inside for longer. For say, eight years. And there are stats to back it up. Sir Ron says the re-offending rate for people locked up on shorter prison sentences is 40 percent. And for those who do longer sentences, the reoffending rate is about 10 percent. So you can't argue with that. What we can argue about, though, is whether Sir Ron's ideas have any merit. And I think they do. He reckons a much better thing to do with people who commit crimes that get them a two or three year sentence, would be not to send them to the jails we have now - and, instead, house them within communities in facilities that are less like prisons, where they'd be allowed to vote, and also entitled to conjugal visits from their partners. Which is the approach they take in Scandinavian countries. Sir Ron's coming at this from the aspect of re-offending. But, in particular, rehabilitating someone who commits a crime. And he says that with the offenders who only have two or three years inside, they have way less opportunities to get rehabilitated and end-up spending a lot of their time hanging out with serious crims. He describes IT as “a university of crime”. And he thinks it would be way better if these offenders went somewhere else, where it felt less like a prison and more like normal life. He admits, though, that it could be hard thing for some people to swallow. Especially, given the political and public interest in tougher prison sentences. But, as a society, what's more important? Punishing offenders or trying to make sure they don't offend again? As Sir Ron says, once a crime has been committed - you can't change that. But the thing you can try to do, is to try and stop them offending again. And, if this alternative way being suggested by Sir Ron today could do a better job of preventing crimes from happening, then why not give it a go? If most of the offenders doing these short sentences spend most of their time inside learning how to become a better criminal, then why would we stick with the way we're doing things? Sir Ron is saying today that these people on two-or-three year sentences are being “educated in the way of crime”. So, of course, they should be in different environments. And, of course, they should be prepared as much as possible for life beyond prison. I was reading about the “open prisons” in some Scandinavian countries - where Sir Ron is drawing his inspiration for doing things differently here in New Zealand. One of them, in Sweden, lets inmates hold down jobs. They head out for the day to work and come back at night. There's even a car park for them and, if they work late, a meal is left out for them. Essentially, what it comes down to, is these Scandinavian countries don't shut prisoners out of society completely. Which is what Sir Ron thinks we should do here in New Zealand offenders sentenced for two-to-three years. If it would mean less re-offending, it's worth trying, isn't it?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this edition of the Big Buck Registry's Deer News, we bring you twelve key stories every hunter should know as we head deeper into 2025. From Washington D.C. to the backwoods of Wisconsin, this roundup covers everything from sweeping conservation wins and poaching crackdowns to predator control, CWD outbreaks, and controversial legislation. Congress wraps up the Biden era with major investments in wildlife and outdoor access, while states wrestle with issues like buck limits, deer tag programs, and firearm restrictions. Whether you're in the tree stand, driving the backroads, or tuning in from camp, this is the news shaping the future of whitetail hunting across America. ACE & EXPLORE Acts (Washington, D.C.) Congress passes two bipartisan bills funding CWD research, wetlands restoration, and outdoor access—plus mandates broadband in public rec areas and shooting range construction.  ESA Reform & Fish & Wildlife Director Nominee (Washington, D.C.) Proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act stir debate, and Brian Nesvik's nomination to lead the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service raises concerns among environmental groups. Wisconsin Poaching Crackdown Over 250 deer were illegally killed in one of the largest poaching crackdowns in state history. Offenders face jail time, steep fines, and decades-long license bans. Texas Deer Smuggling Operation Texas Game Wardens file 1,200+ charges in a massive deer breeding and smuggling case. Violations include CWD testing failures and falsified records.

Ohio CWD Cases Increase Ohio reports 24 new cases of Chronic Wasting Disease this season. Wildlife officials expand surveillance zones and urge hunters to submit samples. Oklahoma Buck Limit Proposal Lawmakers consider reducing the annual buck limit from two to one.

Maryland Lead Ammo Ban Fails Efforts to phase out lead hunting ammunition stall in the state legislature. The debate over wildlife safety and affordability continues. Colorado Gun Law Tightens Colorado passes a law restricting semiautomatic firearms with detachable magazines. Hunters express concern over how it may affect traditional sporting use.

The government is hailing an end to a "soft on crime era" as it limits the ability of judges to give offenders less time in prison. Political reporter Anneke Smith has more.

Rep. Brandi Bradley (R-39) joins KBB to discuss the stunning move by Democrats to submarine a bill that would have reinforced sentencing for sex offenders who assault children.Also, KBB explains what the end of the Department of Education at the federal level would mean for Colorado schools at the state and local level.

(The Center Square) – House Democrats advanced a bill Saturday attempting to create a pathway to rehabilitation by allowing judges to dismiss charges upon “substantial compliance” with court-ordered conditions. Intended for low-level offenses, Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1113 expands judicial authority over diversion opportunities. Typically, those fall under prosecutorial discretion, but if approved by the state Senate, ESHB 1113 would hand power over to the judge and defense attorneys. Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxx Read more: https://www.thecentersquare.com/washington/article_7d4fda26-fdf2-11ef-a7a5-ebd2792e3117.html

Guest-host Carole O'Neill's guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Scott Gordon, author of the book Head Fake. Scott Gordon's fiction has appeared in the Green Hills Literary Lantern (GHLL), Modern Times Magazine, Pennsylvania Literary Journal, The Satirist, and Mobius Magazine. In addition to writing fiction, he has written and directed films and television series, including A History of Black Achievement in America, Great American Authors, and more. Scott spent years working as a Youth Advocate for juvenile offenders with mental illness. Head Fake is inspired by the strength and courage of the kids he worked with. Originally from New Jersey, Scott lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Samantha, and their two rescue pups, Mel Brooks and Khaleesi Bee.    In her book review, Carole O'Neill stated:   As I began reading Head Fake, I wasn't sure it was something I would finish. After all, mentally ill teenagers centered around the game of basketball was everything I would avoid choosing when I decided to read a new author.   My surprise was the way Scott Gordon used humor on nearly every page to enhance Mikey's interaction against the antics of the high-risk offenders he was about to coach. The more difficult challenge was to make sure Mikey's own clinical depression didn't become the reason for a failed experiment.   By the second chapter, I had forgotten about the sport of basketball and raced through the pages to find out how each of these disturbed students would be saved. The violent offenders and outcasts battled with bipolar disorder and street violence to arrive each day to train with a coach they believed would get them a win.   Halfway through the book, I found myself cheering for the team and their impossible hurdles toward a goal no one thought could be reached.
