“SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS TO GLADDEN HEARTS OF CONVICTS,” Vancouver Sun. December 21, 1932. Page 11. --- YULE CHEER IN PEN AND PRISON ---- SPECIAL FARE AT NEW WESTMINSTER AND OAKALLA CONCERT PARTIES TO BRING NOTE OF SEASON'S GAIETY --- The spirit of Christmas will be present inside the grim grey walls of the B. C. penitemtiary and Oakalla prison from Dec. 25, when special menus will provide a welcome change of diet and the inmates will enjoy relaxation from the stem discipline maintained in both institutions. 

There will be special Church services by the prison Chaplains Sunday and entertainments for the inmate on Monday afternoon. Similar arrangements have been made for New Year's Day and the Monday following.

Following out the policies of Col. H. W. Cooper, warden of the B. C penitentiary, New Westminster, and Walter Owen, warden of Oakalla, Burnaby, efforts toward humanizing the inmates now held behind steel bars will be increased. 

Roast pork, raised on the prison farms, will replace the festive turkey but the traditional plum pudding, fruit and nuts will recall better times spent outside. Practically all the eatables have been produced on the farms and all cooking will be done inside the prison.

YNW Melly continues to produce music from prison, facing two counts of first-degree murder. Despite incarceration since 2019, he has released new songs and even a full album, "Just a Matter of Slime," showcasing collaborations with well-known artists. Melly's ability to create music while in jail is facilitated by basic recording equipment in his cell, including a microphone and a computer. His team, consisting of management, label representatives, and sound engineers, operates outside the prison to handle production, mixing, and distribution. Vocal recordings are sent from Melly's prison cell to his team for further processing.

Collaborations with artists like Young Thug, Future, and Lil Uzi Vert are orchestrated through phone discussions, allowing him to contribute to features, discuss beats, lyrics, and overall production. Additionally, Melly may have a backlog of pre-recorded material that contributes to his consistent output. Despite these methods, challenges persist, including creative limitations imposed by prison life, legal complexities related to his record deal, and potential impacts on the quality of his recordings due to the absence of professional studio equipment.The ethical and social implications of Melly's musical activity are noteworthy. While his music sustains a connection with fans and keeps him relevant in the industry, criticism arises regarding the morality of an incarcerated individual profiting from their art, particularly when facing serious criminal charges.

Some argue that Melly is using his situation for attention and pity, potentially glamorizing violence and crime through his music. Others believe he should prioritize personal improvement and taking responsibility rather than continuing to create music. YNW Melly's musical endeavors from prison evoke both support and controversy, prompting reflections on the broader questions of inmates profiting from their art.

i okay. the thing about athena is she sounds so much more mortal this saga. the oooh i pushed you too hard and the you're a good kid, not to mention how pleading she is in all of god games. she's acknowledged her faults and how she has a second chance. how she can give that to odysseus. fuckkkkkk it reminds me of how people have historically liked greek gods because of their humanness, their fallible and fickle nature. athena is more human because of her ability to grow

22... That's so young... To end your life...

It hits me so hard... I'm sorry you felt so imprisoned in your mind you felt this was the only way to escape the pain.

Shirel Golan, your presence on this earth was a blessing to all who knew you, I pray you are free. Your memory is a blessing.

“I tried to explain that I was a musician but it didn’t work. You say you are a musician and it irritates them so much they beat you more, and accuse you of lying,” said Merkotan

While international organizations inspect and have access to our prisons where Russian prisoners are held, they turn a blind eye and do not fight for proper conditions for Ukrainian prisoners.

Another thing that outrages me is the way "Putin's prison" is used. It was not Putin who tortured him and others, but russians. This is not Putin's war, but Russia's. These are not the decisions and crimes of one person. After 10 years of war, the Russians are still being singled out and absolved of responsibility. That's impossible levels of stupidity and cowardice.

“Christmas Enjoyed At the Penitentiaries,” Kingston Whig-Standard. December 27, 1932. Page 2. ---- Concert Was Given at Collins Bay Institution on Monday ---- Christmas was thoroughly enjoyed by the Inmates of Collins Bay Penitentiary.

Religious service were held by the chaplains, Rev. A. Z. Smart, and Rev. Father Brady. His Lordship Bishop Lyon participated in the Protestant service on Christmas Day and Rev. Mr. Smart dedicated a set of communion silver at the service on Monday morning. The menu was particularly tempting Christmas Day and every man in the Institution did full justice to the special treats provided. A radio set had been installed in the mess hall, where the inmates eat, and musical programs were enjoyed at intervals on Sunday and Monday. 

The final and crowning treat came on Monday night when a dozen or more of the inmates provided a minstrel show for the entertainment of the others. The show was held in the nicely decorated chapel hall where a stage had been set up, and lasted from seven in the evening till nine. The men had been practicing for the past six weeks at odd times when routine allowed and they gave most creditable performance. It was enthusiastically received by the audience and encores were demanded for almost every number. Whatever the performers may have lacked in musical talent or histrionic ability, they made up in enthusiasm and good nature. The black face comedians put their jokes over in fine style and won the hearty appreciation of the inmates as well as of the warden and officers of the Institution with their good-natured jibes at the authorities. Songs, violin selections, step dances, mouth organ selections, orchestra numbers, and choruses all added variety to the entertainment. The Instruments used were loaned by officers of the penitentiary and the music was procured with the assistance of the chaplains. 

Warden Allen addressed the men after the concert and told them that the Collins Bay Penitentiary authorities appreciated the good behaviour that had been manifest throughout the Christmas festivities. He promised another treat at New Years. His remarks were heartily cheered. Rev. Esther Brady also spoke in appreciation of the fine concert that had been put on and said that he had been authorised to Intimate that the good behaviour and whole-hearted cooperation shown this Christmas might in the future lead to other gatherings of a similar nature at more frequent Intervals than had been the case in the past. Deafening cheers greeted these remarks. One of the performers spoke on behalf of the Inmates and after he had voiced their thanks for the consideration shown, he said that it was well known that the warden had a fine voice and the men would like to hear him sing. Warden Allen compiled and earned hearty cheers. Cheers for the warden, Deputy Warden Harroway, and the officers of the Institution completed the entertainment. The men filed out to the mess hall where they smoked a cigaret and listened to the radio for ten minutes and then retired to bed. 

No concert was held at Kingston Penitentiary but the inmates enjoyed the special menu and the radio programs which came in on Christmas Day and Monday.
