Empathetic Ear, by M. J. Pettit. Short story in Clarkesworld.

“Our benighted dean wants you to enroll in an empathy-building program. That sociopath? What bullshit. [...] You’re the kindest person I know.” “Thanks, but apparently I’m failing to connect with the customer.”

History lecturer in precarious contract is asked to (let's stress the precarious) join a trial of a smart earplug. The psychology researcher says it'll gently nudge her to be more empathetic, rather than being yet another productivity thumbscrew.

It's not that gentle, but it does do a good job at performing compassion.

Explore some of the perils of being a frontline knowledge worker, as the interface between metric-chasing academic managers (designated hate sink), the kind of student produced by this system, and invasive, if competent, AI that stands on a floor made of waivers.

"LIBRARY BOOKS STILL REPORTED AS MISSING," Brantford Expositor. April 20, 1934. Page 9. ---- Stolen From Member's Suitcase, Were Not Recovered ---- When John Koshuba, Ukrainian, comes out of Kingston three years hence, he will have one pair of gloves to count on. As Magistrate S. A. Jones imposed the three-year term on the accused, in the city magistrate's court to-day, there was, in the hands of Crown Attorney W. M. Charlton, a fine pair of gloves that no one could claim. "They will go back to the prisoner on whom they were found," said the court following out the letter of the law.

A blue suit of clothes taken from the suitcase of R. E. Ryerson, M.P., will not go back to the prisoner. It will be returned to the owner, as well as what is left of the contents of a club bag stolen from the C. N. R. depot on or about Good Friday last. Other wearing apparel, papers and three books, the latter the property of the Parliamentary Library at Ottawa, are still missing. It is feared they were destroyed. J. G. Pettit, Toronto, who claims his suitcase is missing, was not so fortunate he only getting some papers that were found on Koshuba. A fur coat, owned, in transit, by the C. N. R. and missing from the local depot, is still "at large".

The first inkling of the theft came from Chief Turnkey Chas. Slemin of the county jail. He registered Koshuba some time ago as his guest when the accused was up on a charge of vagrancy. It was on this latter occasion that the jail official noted the smart-looking suit he was wearing.

This clue led to another. Paul Black, a foreigner living at Mount Pleasant, had suitcase that was brought to their home by Koshuba, who said he sought a night's lodging. This, after investigation, was shown to be the Ryerson baggage. The suit which Koshuba "lost" while taking his first bath at the jail, also proved to be owned by the parliamentarian. Other things left in the bag were also identified. Mrs. Black stated that she saw Koshuba put some papers in the fire at her home but not any books that might resemble those owned at Ottawa. C. N. R. officials swore to seeing Koshuba around the premises on the day the goods were missed. He came into the express office at the depot mumbling something about his baggage.

Expressman Chas. Bissett stated he talked with the man. Realizing he was a little under the influence of liquor he asked him to leave the premises. He did not see the man depart, going on with his entries in the baggage receipt books. That was as far as Crown Attorney W. M. Charlton, K. C., was able to go but it was sufficient for Magistrate S. A. Jones, who said he would listen to the defendant's story.

The accused took the box without counsel. He told the court that he got the suitcase at a bootlegger's in Hamilton. He denied being in the depot, although having heard the depot officials swear as to his being there. He denied all and sundry stories he told to Turnkey Charles Slemin, C. N. R. Officer Mullen, Acting Detective G. Kerr and Provincial Officer Milligan.

The record produced by Chief Stanley proved the accused to have been familiar with police court procedure in many places. The list read by the court included convictions at Toronto with two terms at Burwash, Winnipeg, Kenora, Sudbury, Sturgeon Falls, North Bay twice, Ottawa, Port Colborne and again in Toronto. He has served terms ranging from one month to two years and this latter term in Kingston will make the total of five years in the Portsmouth institution.

Two other charges, regarding the Pettit suitcase and the fur coat, were not proceeded with by the Crown, the three years being considered sufficient. J. G. Pettit got his papers back, the prisoner has the gloves while the fur coat and other suitcase are still the object of a search by railway officials.

Koshuba seems to have decided not to aid anyone in the matter.

[Koshuba was 66, a widower, born in Bukovinia, in 1934 part of Roumania, and a professional tramp or hobo for most of his life, with a long list of jail and criminal convictions, as noted in the story - most notably three terms at Burwash Industrial Farm, a term in the Lakehead Industrial Farm, and a previous term as convict #1439. This time around at Kingston Penitentiary he was #3423, worked mostly as a mason and stoneworker, was reported three times and was released in June 1936.]

Week 8: Academic Perspective

The article titled “Debt, Incarceration and Re-Entry” emphasizes that individuals of low income and people of color are deeply affected by our current criminal justice system. The scope of research was divided into 3 categories “debt directly from criminal justice involvement such as LFOs, preexisting debt that compounded during incarceration, and debts accrued during reentry for everyday survival.” (Harper, A., Ginapp, C., Bardelli, T., Grimshaw, A., Justen, M., Mohamedali, A., Thomas, I., & Puglisi, L. (2021) Understanding the relationship between debt and one’s ability to successfully reenter society after incarceration highlights a deep need for reform.  One way our criminal justice system is perpetuating poverty is through legal financial obligations. Prior to accruing legal financial obligations, many individuals who encounter the criminal justice system come from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds.  “People who are low-income, and thus more likely to be already burdened by unmanaged debt, are also more likely to experience CJ system involvement which may compound their existing debt burden.” (Pettit & Western, 2004; Western & Pettit, 2010). The article argues that ultimately cash bail and legal financial obligations should be administered on a sliding scale or eliminated altogether. The study also found that a large population of incarcerated individuals have child support debt. The article stresses the need for payment assistance upon reentry for these families as well employment services.               The article titled “An Experimental Evaluation of a Comprehensive Employment-Oriented Prison Re-entry Program” explores a re-entry program with an emphasis on employment services. The experiment used “236 high-risk offenders in Milwaukee with a history of violence or gang involvement. The final sample included 106 in the treatment group, and 130 in the control group ” Cook, P., Kang, S., Braga, A., Ludwig, J., & O’Brien, M. (2015) The program would support re-entry efforts about 6 months before an individual was released from prison. The treatment group was transferred to Racine Correctional Institute prior to release, where they met with their social worker and participated in a 12 to 16-week program. “Program participants are also given access to reach-in services of the Community Corrections Employment Program (CCEP), alcohol and drug treatment (through WIser Choice), and remedial education” Cook, P., Kang, S., Braga, A., Ludwig, J., & O’Brien, M. (2015) The program was studied for 12 months after each person was released from prison. The program was successful in increasing employment for the treatment group and also had a lower rate of recidivism. “Overall arrest rates and re-imprisonment rates for the treatment group by the end of the first year to be lower than for controls (by 9 and 4 percentage points, respectively, equal to 13–15 % of the respective control means)” Cook, P., Kang, S., Braga, A., Ludwig, J., & O’Brien, M. (2015) However, they were unable to determine if the program was cost effective. Overall there was some success to be recognized in the program, but still needed more research. Comparing both articles, there is a general consensus for re-entry support and its success in reducing recidivism. Unfortunately, cost effectiveness shows to be the main concern when implementing these strategies as a long-term solution for criminal justice reform.

“Police Hold Three Suspects in Murder of City Japanese,” Vancouver Sun. January 17, 1942. Page 17. ---- Youth Shot During Holdup Struggle ---- Three men are held by police and were to face an identification line-up this afternoon in connection with the cowardly murder of Yoshiyuki Uno, 27, Japanese furniture manufacturer, during a holdup in his parents' confectionery store at Fourth Avenue and Alberta Street Friday night. 

Uno was shot as he struggled with one of the bandits to protect other members of his family. 

Five minutes before the shooting; three men, thought to be the slayers, held up Chapman's confectionery store, 2333 Columbia Street, and escaped with $30 after on of them fired a wild "shot into a shelf."' 

The three suspects were brought in by police after they investigated an assault complaint at a West Pender Street rooming house. Two men and a 17-year-old girl who were in the same rooming house are held for investigation in connection with the assault.

ASKED FOR CIGARETTES At the Japanese store, the leader of the three thugs grabbed $2 from the cash register before pumping three shots into Yoshiyuki Uno.

Uno, left lying in the middle of the floor, was taken to Vancouver General Hospital in an Exclusive Service ambulance, and died at 9:10 p.m. 

The victim's parents, two sisters and brother saw him shot down as, his left hand bleeding from the first shot," he tried to wrest a revolver from the gunman.

Mrs. Oiyo Uno, Yoshiyuki's mother, was in the front of the store when the three men entered. 

As she started to serve one of them with a package of cigarettes he produced a revolver and said, "This is a holdup." 

THREE SHOTS The woman shouted to her family in living quarters at the rear, and the gunman leaped forward: 

He shot through curtains hanging in the doorway. The bullet hit Yoshiyuki Uno, who was sitting on a chesterfield, in the back of his left hand. 

Uno jumped up, ran through to the store and grappled with the man.

The murderer fired two more shots and Uno slumped to the floor, a bullet in his left temple and another in his left arm above the elbow. 

His slayer ran out of the store with his two companions, one of whom also handled a gun. 

The dead man's brother, Yukio Uno, 24, saw them dart north on Alberta Street, then west in a lane running parallel with Fourth Avenue. 

SHOE DROPPED Police and ambulance were summoned by Mrs. Uno. 

Detective-Inspector E. A. Pettit and Detectives L. M. Munn and Arthur White were early on the scene. 

From Mrs. Uno they took a black oxford she had picked up on the sidewalk 100 feet north of the store. They believe it dropped from one of the holdup men's feet. Inspector J. F. C. B. Vance and Detective E. B. Smith of the police science bureau took photographs of the scene and, examined blood stains on the floor, a flour sack and a curtain. 

CARTRIDGES IN CAR Discovery of an auto on Kit-silano Beach, near the foot of Whyte Avenue, gave the police the first clue to the thugs' movements. 

An unidentified citizen informed police of the car about midnight. 

Detectives Kenneth McKay and Peter Lament found footprints leading from the car to the water 200 yards away. 

They believe one of the men walked to the water to throw the gun away. 

In the auto they found four empty .22 revolver cartridges and one full cartridge. Three $2 bills were lying under the back seat. 

The car had been driven down a lane and over a sidewalk.

The detectives think the men took it to the beach to dump the revolver, then abandoned it when it became firmly lodged in the sand.

YOUNG BANDIT The car, a convertible cabriolet, had been reported stolen at 10 p.m. from the 500 block, Howe Street, by the owner, A. L. Hullah, 1534 Harwood Street. 

The man who shot Uno was described by the Uno family as about 31, and five feet 10 inches. He was wearing a green sweater. His gun was said to be "blue or black with a long barrel." The age of one of the other bandits was estimated at between 20 and 21. No description of the third man was available.

Two suspects picked up by Constables Ralph Booth and Lawrence McCulloch in a Hastings Street cafe were released after witnesses of the holdup at Chapman's Confectionery Store, failed to identify them. 

One of the three bandits who robbed the Chapman store brandished a revolver and another a jackknife, witnesses told Detectives Lamont and McKay. 

The leader of the trio menaced G. R. Chapman, proprietor, with the knife. 

The man took $30 from the cash drawer. 

While he was dumping the money into his pockets the man with the gun fired a shot into a shelf, breaking a soft drink bottle. 

Mrs. Winnifred Chapman, wife of the proprietor, and Mrs. C. Garnett, 2243 Columbia Street, were in the store during the holdup. They described the bandits as between 23 and 25. Two, they said, looked like brothers. 

SISTER'S STORY Haruko Uno, 22, sister of the gun victim, told The Vancouver Sun that her brother ran to the front of the store to defend his mother, after he was shot in one hand. 

"My brother tried to get the revolver from the tallest of the three bandits, and was shot in . the temple as he struggled," she said. 

The other two bandits, one of whom carried another gun, made for the door, Miss Uno recounted. 

When Uno slumped to the floor, the murder bandit also ran for the front door.

Uno's father, Kosabuko Uno, rushed from the little sitting room and knelt over his son while his mother telephoned for an ambulance. 

Miss Uno, a sister, Yaeko, 20, and a brother, Nukio, 34, were also In the rear room at the time. 

The men fled to a car which was stopped with its engine running in a lane back of the store off Alberta Street, according to witnesses. SAW BANDITS Masyoshl Sugie, of 509 West. Fourth Avenue, ran to the store with his mother, Yoshi Sugie, and his father, Shoshaku Sugie, when Mrs. Uno called to them.

"There was nothing I could do when I got in," he said laconically. "Mr. Uno was holding Yoshiyuki's head as he lay on the floor." 

M i y e k o Sugie, Masyosh’s brother, said that young Uno was a part owner of the Advance Furniture Manufacturing Company, 975 Vemon Drive. 

Mr. and Mrs. John Ellis, who live at 1943 Alberta Street, across the corner from the Uno store, told police that they heard the shooting. They looked through the front door in time to see the bandits running to their car.

Yoshiyuki Uno was born in Vancouver, and was a graduate of Fairview High School of Commerce.

Joseph Browne, convicted of housebreaking, Kingston penitentiary for two years.

Joe Constandino, housebreaking, 1 to 2 years less a day in the Ontario reformatory.

[Here’s a separate post about these two.]

Louis Ryan and General Gagnon, who broke into the Navy League premises on the Lake Shore Rd. and did considerable damage, jail for from 3 to 12 months and 6 to 18 months respectively.

Fred H. Lasher, convicted of conspiracy and forgery, Kingston penitentiary for 2 years, the crown remarking that he would likely meet his brother there. ‘This man was responsible for that brother being sent down,’ said Crown Attorney Gibson.

[Lasher was dragged off to Hamilton for further charges.]

Archibald Luscombe, conspiracy and forgery, Ontario reformatory for two years less a day.

Had Sunstroke in India John Cullinan, who broke into two homes on St. Clair Ave., was sentenced to two years less a day in the reformatory and Alexander McPhail, convicted of theft, for three months, to be followed by deportation.

McPhail told the court that he had served for four years in the British regular army and had suffered a sunstroke in India. To the mental results of this misfortune he attributed his tendency to break the law.

Sick Wife Better Off Magistrate Tinker made a quickfire disposition of eight inebriates; William Pettit was sentenced to three months, the bench remarking that his sick wife was probably better off without him. John Haggarty, Mike Werzon, and Joseph Gillespie, $50 or a month, and Israel St. Louis $10 or 30 days. Haggarty appeared on the list of drunks yesterday and was then given a chance.

Convicted as vagrants, George M. Ponovsky and David McDowell were fined $10 or 40 days and $10 or 30 days respectively. Ponovsky, on city relief, had refused to work, and had persisted in begging.

Union troubles were said to the cause of the appearance of Gordon Bernbaum and Albert Manillia, charged with aggravated assault of J. A. Ferguson, watchman at the Henry building, Richmond St. W., where a strike was said to be in progress.

P. C. Tom Donaldson (548) testified the accused men were ‘pounding’ Ferguson, who had a black eye.

Bernbaum and Manila were described as pickets. A union official said violence was discountenanced.

The magistrate fined each of the accused $20 and costs or 10 days. He ordered $10 from each fine to be paid to the complainant.

Hugh and Robert McQuillan pleaded not guilty to obstructing a peace officer in the execution of his duty.

‘Complainant is a bailiff,’ said the crown. ‘I am not sure that he can be described as a peace officer.’

After a consultation of legal tomes it was decided that the point was still obscure and the magistrate ordered the charge altered to one of common assault to be heard a health court to-morrow.
