...hours and days following our arrest, I realized that my idealized fantasies of taking gritty war photographs had been a naive dream. There’s nothing romantic about sitting in a cold prison for hours on end. After a few hours, I remember thinking, “Ok, game over—I’m tired of playing James Bond. I just want to go to sleep...
Four members of Harvard’s “Right to Serve” tour were arrested last Wednesday at a military recruiting station in Portland, Maine on the charge of criminal trespassing. The arrested members were Samantha G.M. Barnard ’09, Robert J. Ross ’09, Amary K. Wiggin ’09, and Jacob P. Reitan, a Harvard Divinity School student who first conceived of the tour.

This results in the re-arrest of over two thirds of releasees within just three years. Gov. Patrick also developed praiseworthy policy solutions to address this problem, authoring the CORI reform bill that, if passed, would lower the sealing of felony records from 15 years to just 10, and records for committers of misdemeanors from...
