Download or read book The Briley Brothers the True Story of the Slaying Brothers written by Dwayne Walker and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-10-16 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richmond, Virginia: On the morning of October 19, 1979, parolee James Briley stood before a judge and vowed to quit the criminal life. That same day, James met with brothers Linwood, Anthony, and 16-year-old neighbor Duncan Meekins. What they planned-and carried out-would make them American serial-killer legends, and reveal to police investigators a 7-month rampage of rape, robbery, and murder exceeding in brutality already documented cases of psychopaths, sociopaths, and sex criminals. As reported in this book, the Briley gang were responsible for the killing of 11 people (among these, a 5-year-old boy and his pregnant mother), but possibly as many as 20. Unlike most criminals, however, the Briley gang's break-ins and robberies were purely incidental-mere excuses for rape and vicious thrill-kills. When authorities (aided by plea-bargaining Duncan Meekins) discovered the whole truth, even their tough skins crawled. Nothing in Virginian history approached the depravities, many of which were committed within miles of the Briley home, where single father James Sr. padlocked himself into his bedroom every night. But this true crime story did not end with the arrests and murder convictions of the Briley gang. Linwood, younger brother James, and 6 other Mecklenburg death-row inmates, hatched an incredible plan of trickery and manipulation-and escaped from the "state-of-the-art" facility on May 31, 1984. The biggest death-row break-out in American history.

Download or read book The Secrets of the Hopewell Box written by James D. Squires and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-15 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A sometimes eye-goggling history of political corruption in one corner of the postwar South. . . . [Squires'] grandfather was a sheriff's deputy who carried a gun and a clenched fist, a man . . . [who] was also, Squires relates, one of the muscle men behind a vicious cabal of power brokers headed by one Boss Crump. . . . That machine involved, for a time, much of Nashville's leading citizenry. It engineered elections, stole votes, organized lynch mobs, ran an illegal gambling empire, and in the 1950s, when it appeared that the traditional Democratic Party was going soft on civil rights, brokered the advent of Republicanism in one corner of the South." —Kirkus Reviews "His richly textured narrative charts the Nashville machine's rupture with the state's top political boss, Edward Crump of Memphis, and traces the sweeping reforms that shattered rural white control of the state legislature. Squires dramatically reenacts the downfall of Nashville lawyer Tommy Osborn, convicted of jury tampering in 1964 after defending Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa. He follows Nashville's transformation into a crucible of the civil rights movement in this stirring chronicle of the South's coming-of-age." —Publishers Weekly

Download or read book Routledge Revivals Guards Imprisoned 1989 written by Lucien X. Lombardo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1989, Guards Imprisoned provides an in-depth look into the work and working life of prison guards as they perceive and experience it. The author, who was a teacher at Auburn Prison, New York, discovered that little was known about the guard’s perceptions of his "place" in the prison community and set out to explore the dynamics of this key correctional occupation from the perspective of those who do it. The raw data was provided by over 160 hours of interviews with guards and is presented in the order of a "natural history" — from their prerecruitment images of prison to the search for satisfaction as experienced guards. The book also includes a follow-up with the officers who were originally interviewed in 1976, assessing patterns of change and stability in their attitudes and behaviors. The Auburn Correctional Facility (renamed from Auburn Prison in 1970) was the second state prison in New York, the site of the first execution by electric chair in 1890, and the namesake of the famed "Auburn System" replicated across the country, in which people worked in groups during the day, were housed in solitary confinement at night, and lived in total silence. The facility is celebrating the 200th anniversary of its groundbreaking in 2016.

Download or read book The Illusion Is Not the Conclusion My Victorious Journey written by Paulette Ravenel Woodside and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-09-18 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Choose ye this day whom ye will serve! We can choose to serve fear or to serve God by having faith in Him. When we begin to worry, we allow doubt to overtake us. Doubt leads to fear, and at this point, we leave the natural fear and embrace the spirit of fear that God has not given us. God has given us His Word, which promises life. He has given us direction in His Word that assures us that He desires for us to be in good health (3 John 1:2); He wants us to trust Him and not doubt; He told us, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Therefore, instead of embracing fear and putting our faith in the situation the crippler has presented us, we need to put our faith and reverence in the God who can heal any situation the crippler has been allowed to bring our way. God suggested that His beloved servant, Job, be tested. Satan needs Gods permission to confront Gods children. The reality is Gods children have the power to take authority over the hands of the enemy, and if he is allowed to touch Gods people, he definitely does not have permission to touch our souls.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1862 and 1870, nightriders rode, robbed, and murdered their way along the Natchez trace in North-Central Louisiana. The legend of these nightriders has persisted. Descendants say these outlaws killed countless migrants traveling from the southeastern states to Texas in search of a new start after the Civil War. These highwaymen were so successful they dug deep holes in the ground just to dispose of their victims' bodies. They continued to maraud until a famed Easter Sunday massacre, when vigilantes lynched much of their leadership. Afterward, vigilantes claimed to have found forty skeletons in one of the holes. Dan Dean and Laws Kimbrel were both Civil War prisoners. They knew each other. After they were released, Kimbrel returned to his extended family. The Kimbrel family robbed and murdered mercilessly. Dean too returned and did his share of killing, but he and Kimbrel developed differences. Dean grew disenchanted with his life of violence. Eventually a group of vigilantes - with Dean's help - challenged the outlaw nightriders, who included the Kimbrel family. And Dean and Laws Kimbrel faced each once again...
