This document discusses issues facing elderly inmates through a case study of older women inmates in California prisons. It finds that the number of geriatric inmates is rising rapidly but prisons are ill-equipped to meet their needs. Inmates over 55 have higher rates of chronic illness and disabilities like arthritis that make daily life in prison challenging. Their issues include menopause, incontinence, pain, depression, and loss of family support. Interviews find inmates cope through religion, therapy, and helping others, but face trauma from harassment, poor medical care, and denial of parole. More support is needed for this vulnerable population.

The Language of Abundance is a transformative concept that revolves around cultivating a mindset of prosperity and positivity. It involves recognizing and appreciating the abundance that already exists in one's life, whether it's in the form of relationships, opportunities, or resources. This mindset encourages gratitude, optimism, and a focus on possibilities, fostering a cycle of attracting more positive experiences. By embracing the Language of Abundance, individuals can shift their perspective from scarcity to sufficiency, leading to a more fulfilling and enriched life overall.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

21. Helen’s Insight
“It’s a rare occasion when
we have the opportunity to
relax, laugh and just be
ourselves for awhile.
Generally, we are tense,
serious and vigilant
regarding the garbage
around us. For seniors, that
wariness is even more
intense…”

“ He would go into black moods.
Very black moods where he
wouldn’t speak to me for 2 or 3
weeks. He would stay out in the
garage and only come in for meals.
He started hitting on my daughter.
That’s what done it. She was 28.
I’m not one that displays my
feelings that much, but that
morning I just snapped. I couldn’t
take it any longer, I couldn’t think
of a way out.
I was very hungry.”
-Julie, 55, Second Degree Murder

23. “We are not watching soap operas and eating bonbons – we are doing hard time. You are never alone and
your family is not here…” -Judy , age 61
“I have arthritis, high blood pressure and they don’t keep good medical records… “
Nancy, age 81
“I don’t want to die in prison…I’ve been here so long – it’s like shooting a dead dog..” Andrea, age 72
25. Prison is a place…where late at night when it is
quiet and dark, all the tough talk, mean faces, lies
and fantasizing are replaced by a single tear that
forms at the corner of your eyes, and it slowly rolls
down your cheek and softly soaks into the pillow
and reality becomes inescapable.
26. Prison is a place…where you find grey hairs on your head or you find your hair
starting to disappear. It’s a place where you get false teeth, stronger glasses
and aches and pains you never felt before.
27. 27
“ It’s hard. Its hard in here.
Because after so long you lose
support of your family. I have
children, but the last I’ve heard
from them was in 2005.
I’m in here for ‘helping my
family. I learnt my lesson. That
won’t happen again....but
y’see they don’t help me....
I just take care of myself the
best that I can…”
- Theda Rice, 77, Murder
