Short Sharp Shock - nightmare prison regime

Short Sharp Shock was a military-style prison regime for young offenders that wrecked lives and didn't work as Tony McMahon discovers

One of the first measures introduced by the new Conservative government of Margaret Thatcher in 1979 was the so-called ‘short, sharp, shock’ policy for young offenders. A regime of strict military-style discipline and strenuous physical activity designed to remove criminality from a youth’s character and wipe the smile off their face. It was also described as red meat for the blue rinses – a…

— The New York City Institute

The New York City institute, built in the early 16th century under the consulship of William Aldertree, is one of the oldest institutes in the Americas as well as on of the largest in the world. While the primary focus of the institute is to protect mundanes and enforce Covenant law within the city, it also provides additional support to the Greater New York area when needed. As of 2012 it is the base of operations for the Clave in Exile, headed by Consul Alexander Lightwood.

— Notable Features

The Greenhouse: A later addition to the institute, the greenhouse was added in the early 20th century by then head of institute Clyde Graymark and his wife Florence- who had an interest in experimenting with herbal medicine. It now boasts a variety of plants of both magical and mundane origins, including wolfsbane, midnight flowers, angels trumpet, and moonflower.

The Library: An original feature from the 1500s, the institute library holds over 5,000 books in its towering shelves ranging from historical texts, to magical grimoires, to classic fiction novels. In addition to this collection the library also acts as a miniature museum containing various magical artifacts.

— Staff & Residents

Heads of Institute: Jace Herondale & Clary Fairchild

Staff & Resident: Beatrice Mendoza (tutor), Simon Lovelace, Isabelle Lightwood, Maryse Lightwood

Former Heads of Institute: Robert & Maryse Lightwood, Marian Whitelaw, Edgar Graymark

#OTD in 1972 – The Official IRA announced a ceasefire. This marked the end of the Official IRA's military campaign.

The official wing of the IRA in Northern Ireland announced a ceasefire, reserving the right of self-defence against attacks by the British Army and sectarian groups. However the Provisional IRA dismissed the truce as having “little effect” on the situation. The Northern Ireland Secretary, William Whitelaw, welcomed the move and a spokesperson said it was “a step in the right direction”. A…

The Flesh and the Fiends feels like a Hammer Film – although, in terms of producers, it is much closer to a Tempean film – and retells the Burke and Hare case of the late 1820s in Scotland. Burke and Hare (George Rose and Donald Pleasence) are “the fiends.” Mary (Billie Whitelaw) and their other victims are “the flesh.” Dr. Knox (Peter Cushing) is the one who purchases “the flesh” from “the fiends.” These four actors steal the show! And if you’ve ever wished you lived in Edinburgh, Scotland, during the 1820s, you might reconsider that wish after seeing this film. Or you might not. Let us know!

At the time of this writing, The Flesh and the Fiends (1960) is available to stream from the Classic Horror Movie Channel, Wicked Horror TV, Kanopy, and Flix Fling as well as PPV from Amazon and Flix Fling. It is available on physical media as a Blu-ray formatted disc from Kino Lorber.
