At Sing Sing prison, incarcerated men get preview of new PBS documentary on nation's justice system

OSSINING, N.Y. (AP) — As the lights dimmed inside the chapel at the Sing Sing Correctional Facility in New York, around 30 incarcerated men sat scattered across the pews, waiting to preview a new docuseries on the history of the nation’s criminal justice system. Our Lady of Hope chapel was soon abuzz with discussion, as some learned new things about an American institution with which they already have a great deal of personal experience. The four-part series, “Crime and Punishment in America,” is set to premiere Monday on PBS. It spends eight hours tracing how the justice system evolved, from the colonial period to the present day, and viewers get to hear from legal scholars, formerly incarcerated people, victims’ families and corrections officers. The U.S. maintains the world's largest incarcerated population, with nearly two million people behind bars in prisons and jails. In 2024, each state incarcerated more people per capita than most countries, according to the Prison Policy Initiative . “What are we hoping to accomplish with this?” film director Lynn Novick said in an interview with The Associated Press. “Digging into the history and revealing it will help us to have a different conversation about what justice means

John Manzi was an original; often imitated, but never duplicated

With the passing last week of Communicators Hall of Famer John Manzi, 82, the sport lost its last link to a bygone age when publicists mattered. In a time, unlike today, when every track had a publicity department, Manzi stood out. There were others who preceded him — Col. Dave Herman at Brandywine and Allen Finkelson at Monticello Raceway, and then, Pompano Park — but Manzi was an original who dwelt in no one’s shadow, even though his time at Monticello followed Finkelson.

CROSS RIVER - It's been a week to remember for Arlington volleyball.

Arlington avenged early-season losses to John Jay with a thrilling four-set victory to capture the sectional crown. Just four days later, the Admirals were back on the court. The results were the same in the end, just a little less stressful this time. Controlling momentum from the opening serve, Arlington grabbed a convincing three-set sweep over Section 9's Monroe-Woodbury in the New York State Class AAA subregional at John Jay-Cross River on Wednesday afternoon. It's been a dream week inside of a dream season for the Admirals, who are making sure to cherish the moments and achievements along the way. "It means the world to me.

Bull Hill (Mount Taurus) Hike in Cold Spring: An Easy Quarry Trail and a Fall Walking Meditation in the Hudson Valley

Bull Hill rises directly above the village of Cold Spring, and every weekend the Metro-North platform below it fills with people carrying backpacks, trail snacks and the bright expression of New Yorkers who have decided that today they are outdoorsy. Most of them are headed for the summit of Mount Taurus, the mountain’s other name and its more glamorous one. I came for the first half mile. On a clear November afternoon I walked the Washburn Trail up to the abandoned quarry at the foot of the mountain, a small and easy Hudson Valley hike that delivers a golden meadow, a wall of ancient rock and enough stillness to rearrange an entire week.

Scissors That Cut the Cost of Living

A pair of scissors, a comb and a few minutes in front of the mirror can change someone’s day. Such a simple act of personal care is sometimes postponed when the family budget gets tight. Let It Shine Inc. addresses that reality through free haircut days, which it periodically offers at its location in Verplanck. On Wednesday, Nov. 11, the small pantry at 137 Seventh Street became a hair salon for at least a few hours. The goal went beyond a haircut: it was to lift visitors’ spirits.
