Gary Gilmore & The Death Penalty

C)(C

GARY GILMORE was the first person to be executed in the USA after the death penalty was reinstated in 1976. At the time there were 358 other American prisoners on death row throughout the USA. His death publicly marked the resumption of capital punishment within certain states. A previous ruling in 1973 banned the practice altogether, declaring the act to be unconstitutional. Gilmores case sparked lots of media attention, dividing public opinion.

c)(c

Twenty-four states currently allow the death penalty. Twenty-three states have abolished capital punishment altogether. Three states, California, Oregon, and Pennsylvania, have governor-issued moratoriums in place, halting executions in the state. Michigan became the first state to abolish, in 1846. Virginia is the most recent state to abolish the practice on July 1, 2021. Crimes eligible to receive capital punishment include murder, espionage, war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, and treason. Since, 1972, all executions performed have been for acts of homicide. Gilmore was found guilty of killing two young men during an armed robbery. The men were Max Jensen and Bennie Bushnell.

c)(c

Gilmore gained notoriety due to his insistence on being executed and his refusal to appeal his sentence. He thought he had a good case for 'insanity', given the lack of control he experienced leading up to these crimes. Gilmore's lawyers fought to have his death sentence overturned, arguing that he was mentally ill and therefore not fit for execution. This led to Gilmore firing both of them. Four separate psychiatrists examined Gilmore and stated in court that, while he did have an antisocial personality disorder, which may have been aggravated by drinking and the prescription drug Fiorinal, he did not meet the legal criteria for insanity.

c)(c

Gilmores brother claims that Gary had undergone earlier medical examinations during his previous 15 year incarceration. According to him, the results indicated that Gilmore suffered from psychopathic personality disorders and was deeply scarred from childhood abuse. He was highly intelligent and continually educated himself in prison. He was naturally creative and a gifted artist.

c)(c

Unfortunately, prison increased his tendency to resist authority and find conflict in social situations. He gained a reputation for violence, frequently attacking other inmates and guards. He was constantly subdued with prolixin, an antipsychotic drug. The days leading up to the murders, friends noted Gilmores' irrational and threatening behaviour. He was angry and somewhat disconnected.

c)(c

The courts ultimately upheld his sentence and the death penalty was administered. Upon hearing his guilty verdict, Gilmore told the judge: "it's been sanctioned by the courts and I accept that" He publicly denounced activists and religious spokespeople who protesting the death penalty. "It's my life, and my death" he told journalists. He rejected his own mothers efforts to appeal and get a stay. He quoting Nietzsche, saying " the time comes when a man should rise to meet the occasion"

c)(c

His attitude towards his impending execution was unusual, as most death row inmates fight their sentences through appeals and other legal means. Before his execution, Gilmore gave numerous interviews to the media, expressing regret for his crimes but insisting that he deserved to die for them. On the day of his execution activists protested outside the prison, opposing the death sentence. His story became the basis for Norman Mailer's book "The Executioner's Song" which won a Pulitzer Prize and was later made into a movie starring Tommy Lee Jones.

c)(c

The execution itself was also controversial. Gilmore had chosen to be executed by firing squad, which was still legal in Utah at the time, but not common.

The night before Gilmour's sentence was fulfilled, the death row prisoner was granted permission for family to visit his cell. His uncle smuggled a bottle of booze into jail. Gary enjoyed a robust last supper in jolly drunkenness. Johnny Cash even called Gary to sing a song for him over the phone.

17/01/1977 At approximately 8:00 am Gary Mark Gilmore is escorted to a large padded room, historically named The Slaughterhouse. A small group of family, media & friends attend the event but won't witness the killing. The act is so brutal and performed by a voluntary firing squad. Strapped to a leather chair with a target across his heart, Gilmore sits motionless, showing no resistance. Despite earlier requests to keep his face exposed, Gilmores head is covered with a black corduroy slip. His last spoken words were reportedly "Let's do it". The killers death-wish was adapted by Nike, who changed it to "Just Do It" in the early 80's. The slogan became a positive affirmation encouraging confidence, spontaneity and personal empowerment. Gilmore was definitely fearless, hailed by some as an antihero, a martyr among outlaws 'sticking' it to the man.' Despite the city's Mormon influence, Gilmore was born a catholic. A priest was present to reads his last rites before the final countdown begins. From behind a curtain five shots are fired from 30-30 deer rifles. Four of them are loaded with steel-jacketed shells and the first one contains a blank. All effort is made to ensure the executioners conscience and identity are protected. The gunmen remain anonymous, permanently unaware of which gun fired a blank and which shot the fatal bullets.

c)(c

Gilmores body jerks upon impact as Thirty Six years of life bleed from a hole in his heart. Four bullet holes have passed through the man's body to become permanently lodged in the leather behind him. Two minutes pass before Gilmore is pronounced 'officially dead.' The heart must be silent and the blood flow must cease before doctors are permitted to undertake the organ removal procedure. The surgery is prompt, unsightly and undeniably final. There's no chance of return for an organ donor.

c)(c

In 1977 punk band The Adverts reference this in their song 'Gary Gilmores Eyes'. Imagined from the perspective of an organ recipient awaking to discover whose eyes they've just inherited.

"The doctors are avoiding me. My vision is confused. I listen to my earphones, I catch the evening news. A murderer's been killed and he donates his sight to science. I'm locked into a private ward. I realize that I must be...Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes."

01.11.2024 - Ann Klein

So I found out a couple days ago that I'll finally be admitted to the state psychiatric hospital in Trenton known as "Ann Klein." We have been waiting for this for a while now - ever since I was officially sentenced "NGRI" I was told that I would also have to get an evaluation done at this hospital. That was around July 2023. It is now January 2024 and we finally have an actual admission date. There are a lot of impressions that I have going into this that I wanted to write down before I'm gone just so that I might be able to compare before and after: The fact that I am being sent to this hospital through the court system gives it an air of punishment. From what I've read in the handbook of the place it seems to me to be like any other mental hospital I might have been too. But that seems off. I imagine it being more secure. I imagine there being more aggression even seeing as a lot of the people here have been committed. My impression is that it occupies a space somewhere between a hospital and a prison. You're allowed to bring your own clothes. You get your own room. There are groups and visitation and all that. What I'm most dwelling on is the fact that doctors have a tendency to do what they think is best. In the last 5 years or so I've been on the following antipsychotics: - Invega injection - Prolixin - Zyprexa - Latuda - Abilify Currently I'm on Abilify 5mg and have been since August 2023 - 6 months. It has been the most tolerable so far. Invega was the worst. Zyprexa then after. Latuda was ok. But what exactly is going to happen with medications when I go there and after? I don't know.... I ask Allah to make things better. To remove from me these burdens. To allow me to live a vibrant life and serve him. To protect me as always from the harms of my own self and others. It's Thursday the 11th. I have to be at the hospital 10am Wednesday the 17th so... I'll definitely post at least once more before I go. bismillah.

My doctor increased my Prolixin and put my Prazosin on hold since I have been having dizzy…

[beautifult999]

I took 10mg of Prolixin with the rest of my medications tonight and I think that I’m going to take that much every night from now on because my craziness really does have to do with the fact that I’ve been taking the lower dose of Prolixin that I’m allowed to take instead of the maximum dosage that I’m prescribed. I know I’ll be sedated and numb again, but feeling unbalanced is hard for me. I also know that the Prolixin filters out the bad stuff I see and feel with my third eye. It’s prescribed to me for psychosis and “the horrible nightmarish feeling even when I’m awake.” So my psychiatrist gives it to me for my psychosis (hallucinations and delusions and paranoia) and “to stop the nightmares.”

[“At New York’s Bedford Hills prison in the mid-1970s, administrators regularly labeled black activist prisoners “mentally ill” and “violent” and targeted them for segregation and transfer. Carol Crooks, a well-respected leader among her peers, successfully sued the prison in August 1974 for violating her right to due process when she was beaten by a group of guards and thrown in solitary confinement that February. Shortly after she returned to general population on the court’s order, she allegedly struck another prisoner and resisted when a team of guards attempted to take her back to solitary. The officers “drug her down the hallway, like a rag, and literally threw her down these concrete steps,” remembers fellow prisoner Cindy Reed.

The following day, women protested in a nonviolent takeover of two buildings and a recreation yard that later became known as the “August Rebellion.” Administrators, who alleged that the prisoners took seven officers hostage for several hours, called in more than 200 state troopers and guards from neighboring men’s prisons to quash the demonstration. In the aftermath, Crooks and twenty-two women who participated in the rebellion were transferred to the Matteawan Complex for the Criminally Insane where they were locked down for twenty-three hours a day and “forced to take high doses of behavior modifying drugs such as Thorazine and Prolixin.”

Matteawan served as a Bedford Hills outpost again in 1976 when the warden obtained permission from the New York DOC to classify ten activist prisoners as “mentally disturbed.” As sociologist Juanita Díaz-Cotto suggests, “the medical establishment not only stigmatized women who rebelled as being mentally ill, but also perpetuated further psychological and physical abuse through forced medication.” In 1977, members of the Brooklyn-based group Women Free Women in Prison reported that Bedford had implemented a new behavior modification initiative known as the Satellite Program: “Behind locked steel doors, out of reach, hearing and sight from the general population, … the administration places women they label ‘mentally disturbed,’ ‘dangerous,’ etc.”

California women prisoners and their allies fought the creation of an Alternative Program Unit at the California Institution for Women (CIW) in the mid-1970s. Located roughly forty-five miles east of Los Angeles, CIW was the state’s sole women’s prison and the nation’s largest. Officials proclaimed that the unit would “provide more structure, control, and special program attention for those who have difficulty adjusting to general rules, guidelines and expectations at the prison,” while opponents charged that it would “segregate women who do not conform to prison authorities’ definition of a proper prisoner or a well-behaved woman.” Moreover, the protestors expressed concerns about the malleability of classifications like disruptive, difficult, or maladjusted, and the possibility that women of color and lesbian women would be disproportionately targeted.

Nearly a thousand people affiliated with women’s and prisoners’ rights groups traveled to Sacramento in March 1976 to attend a hearing on the prison, stage a rally outside the capitol building, and deliver a petition with more than 2,000 signatories, including 400 of the 700 CIW prisoners. Demonstrators packed the hearing and, as one local reporter put it, the crowd “turn[ed] what might have been a fairly dry hearing on proposed rules to govern California prisons, into a lively, three-hour discussion of conditions at CIW.” At the rally afterward, several former prisoners addressed the crowd, including Lia Stahrlite, who described how imprisoned activists had organized a “successful strike at CIW in 1973” that led to the shutdown of a similar behavior modification facility called the Intensive Program Unit.”]

Blog Post 2

When it comes to the movie Black Swan and American Psycho, Mental illness is a very prevalent theme in both films. Both movies give great insight towards how mental illness can suddenly creep up on you leaving you engulfed with emotions. One note that stands out for both movies is how the main characters don’t even realize they have a problem. Dealing with depression and anxiety myself, It took a very long time before I started to notice that I had an issue and an even longer time to try and reach out to someone for help. Now that may be clear for most people however the endings for these movies may be confusing so I will break the symbolism that I got from these movies.

In Black Swan has a theme of setting problems aside. Nina throws any issue aside and just lets it build up. Nina’s Anxiety is symbolized by the black swan. Anytime she starts going through waves of anxiety she imagines herself turning into this black swan. She starts getting goosebumps and black feathers eventually as her anxiety worsens. When the feathers start emerging from Nina’s skin her immediate reaction is to start plucking. In the real world birds that are locked in cages with no stimulation have a habit of plucking feathers from stress or boredom. Therefore the plucking scene shows that audience that Nina is self harming when she gets these panic attacks.  

Nina has a habit of pushing her problems aside and this is affecting her mental state. For example her boss keeps sexually assaulting her. Yet she allows it to happen over and over for her to get the lead role. While rehearsing for the performance Nina sprains her ankle and cracks her toe nail yet pushes aside the pain and continues. These are things that build up over time and attribute to Nina’s increased anxiety toward performing the lead role. Nina lacks self confidence and this can be seen when she attempts to self pleasure herself yet is unable to.

Now what does the ending mean? Before analyzing the ending of we need to look back at the events that lead to it. In the first act Nina accidentally falls on stage leading her to panic to her stage room once the scene is finally over. Over there she sees Odile Dressed up as the black swan offering to take Nina’s position. In a fit of panic Nina kills Odile and becomes the black swan. She returns to the stage with what seems like confidence as she grows feathers and even kisses her boss in front of everyone. What seems like an amazing stroke of self improvement. However Nina actually finally gave in to her mental illness. She is absolutely swarmed with terror in this scene yet Nina continues to push her emotions aside and keeps a blank face. Nina has been completely enveloped by her anxiety. She doesn’t come to realize that she has given in until she returns to her room to see Odile isn’t there. Odile is not the source of her illness, Nina herself is where all the problems lay and that is why she stabs herself. In the final moments of the last act Nina dies however she is happy. It may be confusing if this is a happy ending or not but this because there are two perspectives being shown. Nina sees herself being free of the torment of her illness, Yet everyone else is panicking because she is dying. This is a reflection of how mental illness can lead to suicide. Nina believes that this will bring an end to her torment; she sees this as something positive. However she is surrounded by friends, family and an audience that care about her well being. It isn’t until it’s too late for her to get help because Nina refused to reach out to anyone. At times suicide might seem like the only answer however we are surround by people who can help us. This is the message the director is trying to give. 

American Psycho is another movie with a bit of a confusing ending. The audience is left unclear on if Patrick is an actual psychopathic killer or if everything is all in his head. This is that actual struggle for those with schizophrenia. They often have hallucinations and struggle to tell what is real and what is made up. So the ambiguous ending reflects this. I really enjoyed American Psycho because it makes you want to watch the movie a second time to figure out what was real and what was an illusion. I have theorized that Patrick only thought himself to be a killer. Anytime he kills someone he is only fantasizing about killing. Patrick has obsessive personality disorder is the type to easily get made. The scene when Jules puts the spoon in the spoon on the table instead of the ice cream container really shows how easily Patrick can snap. The only change I would make in the ending of the movie is the scene when Jean finds Patrick’s journal. I would have added more scenes to show Patrick has a mental issue. For example, instead of just finding a journal, Jean also finds medication such as thorazine or prolixin. I would also bring back Paul Allen just to really confuse the audience. However overall this movie was insightful and yet entertaining. I am left wanting a true sequel to Patrick Bateman’s story. Unfortunately neither Black Swan or American Psycho. Although yes there is an American Psycho 2. I refuse to believe that movie is a true squeal, it was just slapped with that name just to bring an audience. I would definitely recommend these movies however I'd suggest also doing background research on mental illness prior to watching. I believe that would further help the viewer fully grasp the meaning behind either movie.

    topic: tardive dyskinesia. 

           Abel has involuntary muscle movements caused by tardive dyskinesia, his movements manifesting in two separate ways: rapid movements of the tongue and lips, and the rapid, involuntary movement of the arms or feet. Less often, he’ll have involuntary twitches of the neck and head or excessive blinking. 

           His tardive dyskinesia developed when he was twenty, after three years of being on  prolixin. He was kept on the medication for a little over a year due to the carelessness of his standing psychiatrist at the facility. Unfortunately, after stopping the medication, the condition persisted, leaving Abel to try and cope with the movements he could no longer control. 

           The severity of the condition varies from day to day, but interferes with his hobbies like wood carving and drawing. It also makes driving dangerous, which is why he only rides his bike. Aside from the stomping and arm movements, his facial movements aren’t too noticeable, and it may just look like he’s perpetually frowning or upset. 

            He’s found that the more stressed out he gets, the more frequent his movements are, and has taken up meditation in hopes to relax his body more, making the movements less frequent. He hasn’t been practicing enough to know if the attempt is working, but he does his best.
