This Time the Foot is the Real Deal - #6

DNA testing next on human foot found on North Olympic Peninsula beach

PORT ANGELES — Bones and flesh inside a black hiking sneaker found on a Strait of Juan de Fuca beach are the remains of a human foot, Seattle laboratory analysts said Monday.

That makes it similar to five athletic shoe-clad feet found on beaches in British Columbia in the past year.

It was also determined that the foot — like the five in Canada — had come off by itself, discounting the possibility that it might have been cut off.

But At Least He Didn't Cut Someone's Head Off...

Ah, to be old, mentally ill, and in prison...

In the Trenches: AJA Seminar Highlights | News | Correctional News

With mentally ill inmates taking up prison cells and hospitals facing bed-space shortages, mental health in prison and jail populations continues to be a major issue for corrections officials in terms of overcrowding, staffing, safety and security and recidivism.

More than 10 million adults are booked into U.S. jails each year and a recent Bureau of Justice Statistics study reported that an estimated 64 percent of local jail inmates have mental health issues.


The suicide rate among mentally ill inmates is double the rate of the general population, and the study reported that significant amounts of mentally ill jail inmates do not receive treatment during incarceration, while only 17 percent receive post-release treatment.


This deserves some thought and comment, but I'm off to work.

Maybe later.

RAND | News Release | U.S. Should Rethink "War On Terrorism" Strategy to Deal with Resurgent Al Qaida

And it only took 7 years of conservative think tank study to figure this stuff out? Almost everything listed in this report was the common sense response to the fucking brain-damaged conservative plans since we fucking practically abandoned the conflict in fucking Afghanistan.

Fucking idiots.
