Over the years, three prison officials have lost their jobs for permitting Licavoli special favors. The latest scandal occurred in 1958, when a state police investigation showed that Licavoli was being allowed unauthorized visitors by the superintendent, who accepted presents from Licavoli's friends and even turned up as a guest at the Detroit wedding of Licavoli's daughter. One of Licavoli's visitors was Teamster President James R. Hoffa, now doing time at the Federal Penitentiary at Lewisburg, Pa., for jury tampering. Only a month ago, Licavoli was transferred from prison to a private hospital...
...conflict has its origins deep in Irish history, but nearly all the present participants own at least a share of the blame. On one side are the Protestant storm troopers of the Rev. Ian Paisley, who is now serving a six-month prison term for illegal assembly last November. On the other stand the angry Roman Catholics, Ulster's impoverished and politically disenfranchised minority.

...crime trials have been going on in West Germany since 1945. In the immediate postwar period, Allied tribunals sentenced the surviving Nazi leaders to death or long prison terms.

For Saturday afternoon, the committee rented an entire island in Boston harbor. Party boats ran continually to shuttle celebrants to what was once an old Civil War prison. The outdoor barbecue; free sandwiches and mixer, the large open fields, the myriad of abandoned cells and passageways, and a tour given by Boston's most eccentric historian added yet another dimension to a growing Jubilee tradition...
...bookmaking failed to unearth any evidence of gambling. But they did find three reels of film that, as they later testified, depicted "successive orgies of seduction, sodomy and sexual intercourse." Stanley was convicted under a Georgia law that forbids possession of obscene material, and sentenced to a year in prison. Last week, in a decision that reversed Stanley's conviction, the Supreme Court ruled that no matter how obscene his movies might have been, he had every right to view them in his own home...
