A Berkshire Horror Story
Louis and Elena Piccone were one day living an idyllic life when the retaliation of a legal opponent put in motion the machinery of the Massachusetts Department of Social Services, an incompetent, corrupt and vindictive local Police force and a court system not quite up to the the task, resulting in the arrest, and incarceration in solitary confinement of Louis and the scattering of his family across the globe. The story includes professional misconduct, lies, procedural errors, incompetence, denial of civil and constitutional rights and just plain bureaucratic inertia that resulted in damage to this family and young children.

At What Price Survival
These articles are a compilation of news events that chronicled some of the events that I endured over a twelve year period. Sadly enough, stories such as mine abound and the indifference of the government is astounding. All too many government officials turn a blind eye to ill thought legislation enforced many times to advance someones career. -alden l. baker, jr. |

National Center for Reason and Justice
Like so many other Americans, we are concerned about the failings of our criminal-justice system. The recent exonerations of convicted people via DNA evidence demonstrate beyond all reasonable doubt that many innocent people have been unjustly imprisoned or executed, especially those without the financial means to defend themselves against the state, the media, and other powerful institutions. Most of the innocent have been convicted because of faulty eyewitness testimony, coerced confessions, or the acceptance of junk science in the courtroom. |

Reform Sex Offender Laws (RSOL)
“We believe many aspects of the current approach to sex offenders seriously undermine justice and make our society less compatible with the welfare of young people. We support carefully limited laws that target harmful acts, not whole classes of people, and which rehabilitate rather than vindictively punish and shame offenders. We assert that only by supporting justice for all people can we maintain a safe society.”
From the Reform Sex Offender Laws Now! Statement.
