...there are many others on death row who continue to profess their innocence. Women doing time for murder in Baghdad live in a single 10-bunk cell in Khadamiyah Women's Prison in the northern part of town near the Tigris River. There waits Zayneb, a brown-haired woman in her late 20s wearing a black head scarf, convicted in September of conspiring with her husband to murder three relatives. The judge gave her three death sentences, one for each relative who was murdered. She says she didn't have anything to do with their deaths. She has only...
...spartan cells are designed to keep inmates from hurting themselves--and their guards.

With narrower mattresses, Currier can stand as an equal with such greats as Dunster, Winthrop, and Lowell, whose residents maintain celibacy by sleeping in wobbly bunk beds wedged into walk-through triples. If the river houses hope to maintain their scholarly edge over the formerly unbridled Currierites, they will need to invest in their own spoon-free mattresses. In the meantime, Currier residents must keep in mind: it’s not 33.5 inches thin...
