Use your books or use the internet. I have to do my own homework, so should you. If you are really stuck, ask your professor or another student.
Sorry, but that is how we learn. By doing ourselves and not asking strangers to do it for us.

He is doing a great job, and I hope when those ladies get out they will all be in better shape than when they went in.

A novel idea

Most of his career path, including the founding of MassINC 15 years ago, to a chance meeting in Washington, DC, in 1986. At the time, Jones was in the middle of his sophomore year at Hamilton College in New York, and he was interviewing for an internship in the state of New York’s Washington office. That interview ended with the head of the office suggesting Jones, who grew up in Weston, might have better luck across the hall at the DC office of the state of Massachusetts. Jones poked his head into the office and found its director, Mark Gearan, eating a sandwich. It was the start of a relationship that would lead to two internships in Washington, several jobs at the State House in Boston, and a career steeped in politics and public policy.

“Gov. Dukakis was getting ready to run for president,” Jones says, “and Mark was getting ready to play a significant role in that campaign. I can trace everything that’s happened to me professionally back to that connection with Mark. Literally, every experience I’ve had can be tied back to the network I began building through Mark and the Dukakis network.

NOLA Mental Health Advocate Stepping Down ... - NOLA Criminal Law

The New Orleans Police Department Crisis Unit is losing an important asset. Cecile Tebo , who has spent the last seven years working for the unit battling the city’s mental health crisis with little funding and only a small group of volunteers at her disposal, is stepping down.

Who will now handle the nearly 300 calls a month she and her team received from suicidal, homicidal or disabled people in need of help? Who will help to maintain calm at the scene where mentally ill people are scared? And who will advocate for mental health awareness and care in New Orleans?

Now that Tebo is leaving, Sgt. Ben Glaudi will be the only remaining paid member of the New Orleans Police Department Crisis Unit. And unfortunately, it seems Tebo is leaving her post for reasons related to NOPD administration. According to an interview with WDSU :

“The administration made, overnight, some internal changes with my program — without my knowledge….I did not know the changes that were taking place. And the changes that took place were changes I was not comfortable with.” in 2010, where she illustrates how a broken mental health system in New Orleans is costing lives....

12000 Inmates To Be Released Due To New ... - Clutch Magazine

Thousands of inmates who have been incarcerated for possessing small amounts of cocaine will get a taste of freedom soon due to the Crack Cocaine Disparity Law, according to CNN . The law changes the 100-to-1 disparity between minimum sentences for crack and powder cocaine to 18-to-1.

In the old system, people who were caught with 5 grams of cocaine would receive the same sentence as those caught with 500 grams, 5 years of jail time. Now those sentences will be cut in half for convicts busted for small amounts of drugs. Over 12,000 inmates are eligible for early release.

I am really conflicted about this..while in no way I support the sentence disparity, however people forget their are people who reside in communities who have to deal with these people with these “small amounts of cocaine”. It’s great for people who don’t have to live in neighborhoods overran with small time drug dealers and users.
