Prison. It is a word that conjures up loss, bleakness, and despair. A place where those who have broken the law are kept, both for punishment and for the safety of society. But behind these images are human stories, accounts of tragic mistakes, and broken lives, woven in-between with hope. For those inside prison, it is hope that often keeps them going: for the future, for those they care for, and for the chance to start afresh upon release. This collection of 20 pieces by serving prisoners and people on probation explores the underside of the criminal justice system...

Den 13 juni 1952 försvinner ett svenskt flygplan under en flygning över Östersjön, tillsammans med åtta besättningsmän. Tre dagar senare skjuts ett Catalinaplan som deltar i spaningarna ner av ryska MiG-plan. Besättningen räddades och en utredning tog plats, men vad som hände med det första försvunna planet förblev höljt i dunkel. Vad var det som egentligen hände? Historikern Kenth Olsson har under flera år forskat kring ärendet och slutligen skrivit ner och förklarat de händelser som utgjorde ett mysterium under 1950-talet.

Have you just done your time? Are you ready to grab life’s reins on the road to success? Do you want to let go of the past and become a better person? Do you want to use your time in prison to change your ways and make a difference when you get out? It’s never too late to become someone you’re proud to be. Judge Judy once said, “If you didn’t make it in your 30s, you can make it in your 40s. And if you didn’t make it in your 40s, you can make it in your 50s.” It doesn’t matter how long your prison sentence is - change begins when you really want it to.

From 1942 through 1972, American biomedical researchers deliberately infected people with hepatitis. Government-sponsored researchers were attempting to discover the basic features of the disease and the viruses causing it, and to develop interventions that would quell recurring outbreaks. Drawing from extensive archival research and in-person interviews, Sydney Halpern traces the hepatitis program from its origins in World War II through its expansion during the initial Cold War years, to its demise in the early 1970s amid an outcry over research abuse.

 Forensic science is in crisis and at a cross-roads. Movies and television dramas depict forensic heroes with high-tech tools and dazzling intellects who - inside an hour, notwithstanding commercials - piece together past-event puzzles from crime scenes and autopsies. Likewise, Sherlock Holmes - the iconic fictional detective, and the invention of forensic doctor Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - is held up as a paragon of forensic and scientific inspiration - does not "reason forward" as most people do, but "reasons backwards."
