This is a serious error. There is no scientific basis whatever for preventive psychiatric detention, also known as involuntary mental hospitalisation or civil commitment.

Judge Kinlen, who routinely claimed that the prison system was a failure, is understood to have accused named officials of being guilty of criminal wrongdoing by failing to protect at-risk prisoners and operating sub standard conditions at Irish prisons.

He is also said to have recommended that where reckless disregard towards prisoners resulted in deaths and attacks in custody, senior government and prison officials should face proceedings for criminal wrongdoing.'"YES WHAT EVER HAPPENED AFTER THIS REPORT?IT SEEMS THE JUDGES "GOOD"WORK WAS IN VAIN?

It is argued that such a policy development is likely to conflict the states international human rights obligations, in particular the right to health under the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, as greater privatisation tends towards the availability of access to health care on a discriminatory manner. Furthermore, such a move may also be considered retrogressive from the perspective of international human rights law."

Justice Louis D. Brandeis Quote/Quotation: "'The government is the potent omnipresent teacher. For good or ill it teaches the "whole people by its example"?. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. To declare that the end justifies the means -- to declare that the government may commit crimes -- would bring terrible retribution"

Obama stares at 16-year-old Mayara Tavares' butt Mofo Politics Hoping Obama Fails: "Mayara Tavares is 16 and lives in the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She inherited from her grandmother and father a passion to take part in community action and social movements and has been an activist in her community fighting for children and adolescent rights. She has recently acted as a community researcher interviewing other adolescents in the community about their lives and how it feels for them to be growing up in the shantytowns of Rio de Janeiro. Through this work she became part of a National Platform for the improvement of poor communities situated in large urban centers, an initiative carried out by UNICEF in Brazil. She also became a member of the Youth Forum in her municipality and hopes that she can continue to engage her peers in this work."CLASS-INEQUALITY WORLD-WIDE?
