Alligator Alcatraz Prison , the Cecot ,on the shores of the Everglades
Anders Behring Breivik, the loon who killed those kids because of his politics, complained about the miserable state of his prison cell in Norway. Norway has a very low rate of crime. There is a balance to be struck. Regimes with the most terrible prison conditions still have crime, usually lots of crime. Saudi Arabia has been executing people in incredible numbers. I had the misfortune to watch one of these executions. You're driven to some random street corner, hauled out of the truck, crowd gathers, off with your head, hopefully in one swipe. Yet people still smuggle paltry amounts of cannabis into the country. Incarceration yes, state mandated cruelty no. My late father was a hang 'em high type. As part of his civic duty, he became a Independent Custody Visitor. He changed his views. The voluntary role involves members of the public going into police stations and doing a welfare check. He was ex-military, and expected the station to be run to a military standard. ie those in the cells would be treated firmly but fair. Te loss of liberty and a bare cell should be enough for most to ruminate on what he did. He found the cells at full capacity with basically children. The Courts Service was unable to process them, and the syp. The system was backed up. However the sergeants in charge of the custody suites still have a job to do, and standards to enforce. He found kids left in cells in feces encrusted clothes. Being handed urine soaked blankets, or no blankets, in winter. No hot food, no hot drinks. He spoke to some of these boys, and realised what a subclass they came from. It was difficult to not have some sympathy for them. Remembering his army days, he shared a ciggie with some of them, and they seemed grateful. He bollocked the duty sergeant for not doing his job. There was no excuse. Seemed to work, because the next time he visited, the cops had sorted things out. We had hundreds of years of prison reform, for good reason. Turning back the clock is retrograde and will simply worsen crime. -

Reports: Israel planning camp to house 600,000 Palestinians in Gaza
You would of course miss out the most important bit as it would not fit in with your Israel bad narrative. "Netanyahu said: "I think President Trump has a brilliant vision. It's called free choice. If people want to stay, they can stay, but if they want to leave, they should be able to leave..." https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8rp31lk7mzo We also already know that 49% of Gazans would apply to Israel for assistance in relocating abroad https://nypost.com/2025/05/07/world-news/new-poll-shows-nearly-half-of-gazans-would-leave-if-given-opportunity/ -

Crime Border Patrol Foils Motorcycle Smuggling Operation, One Arrested, Eight Bikes Seized
Picture courtesy of Kaoded. Paramilitary rangers from the 12th Ranger Task Force intercepted a motorcycle smuggling operation along the Thai-Cambodian border in Aranyaprathet district, Sa Kaeo Province. Eight motorcycles, including high-value models, including a big bikes and popular scooters, were seized. One suspect was arrested, while seven others fled into the forest across the border. Acting on intelligence that a shipment of stolen motorcycles were being prepared for illegal export into Cambodia, officers from the 1206th Ranger Company, in coordination with the Burapha Task Force, set up an ambush along a known smuggling route behind Ban Noen Sombun village, a frequent hotspot for cross-border criminal activity. During the operation, authorities spotted a suspicious motorcycle entering the area, matching the earlier tip-off. Surveillance led to the discovery of a group of eight motorcycles and riders, who were preparing to smuggle the vehicles across the border under the cover of darkness. Upon revealing themselves, the rangers attempted to apprehend the group, prompting seven individuals to abandon the motorcycles and flee into Cambodian territory. One man, identified as Mr. Supachai Thamson 38, was apprehended at the scene. He later confessed that he had been unemployed and was recruited the night before via the LINE messaging app by a man known only as “Jay”. Supachai was offered a fee of just 200 baht to deliver a motorcycle to the border. Supachai stated that he was instructed to collect a motorbike from a PTT petrol station in Ban Mai Nong Sai, where a vehicle had already been left with the key inserted. He then travelled to the rendezvous point in Noen Sombun, where seven other riders gradually joined him. The plan was to cross the border together at the same time, but the operation was halted by the ranger team before they could make their move. The eight seized motorcycles: • 3 x Honda PCX 160 • 2 x Honda Click 125 • 1 x Yamaha NMAX • 1 x Honda Giorno+ • 1 x Kawasaki Z650 All had licence plates registered in various provinces, raising suspicions that they may have been stolen or part of illegal tax evasion schemes to fulfil demand in Cambodia, where such models are popular. Supachai and the seized bikes were taken to the 1206th Ranger Company headquarters for booking and further investigation. The suspect has since been handed over to Klong Nam Sai Police Station, where authorities will work to identify the wider smuggling network, verify ownership of the recovered motorcycles and ensure their return to rightful owners. Police are continuing their efforts to track down the seven escaped smugglers and the individual known as “Jay,” believed to be the coordinator of the cross-border operation. The case highlights the ongoing challenge of motorcycle theft and smuggling networks exploiting Thailand’s porous borders. Adapted by Asean Now from Kaoded 2025-07-09 -
