Michael Whitney: Bradley Manning's Detention
December 22, 2010PFC Bradley Manning remains in solitary confinement despite not having been tried or convicted of any crime.

July 7, 2010Across the United States, the brutal and dysfunctional juvenile justice system sends queer youth to prison in disproportionate numbers, fails to protect them from violence and discrimination while they're inside and to this day condones attempts to turn them straight.Christian Parenti, LGBT Youth Behind Bars & Katrina vanden Heuvel

April 17, 2010What kind of a house does a man who has lived in a 6' by 9' box for 30 years dream of? That's the provocative question asked by this week's Got Doc feature, The House That Herman Built. Herman Wallace, a member of the Black Panther party, has been in solitary confinement for over 38 years in the Louisiana prison system. In 2003, artist Jackie Sumell asked Herman this simple question, and this documentary traces the growth of Herman's house from art project toward reality.Elizabeth Streb and The House that Herman Built
April 16, 2010Elizabeth Streb has been called "superhuman"--her choreography more extreme sport than dance performance. Pushing boundaries, testing limits, redefining pain and strength; this is what she does every day, and her work has received multiple awards, including the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation "Genius" Award.
