New York Prison Guards Instigated Attack on Inmate and Engineered Cover-Up
Officers stood by, and one even watched, during a prisoner’s assault on another inmate in 2014 at the Greene Correctional Facility in Coxsackie, records show.The guards behave as a gang administering extralegal discipline on those in their charge.
Things could be different if the prisoners had more access to the legal system; The prisoners should be allowed to call the cops and receive a civil response.

The Upshot
Paid Family Leave Gets More Attention, but Workers Still Struggle
Efforts on paid leave for new parents are welcome, advocates say, yet don’t address the wider challenges of working while having a family.Modern management rents people for labor.
Families are a revocable privilege.

The Supreme Court and a Life Barely Lived

Opinion
Prison Guards’ Contract
The New York State correctional officers union takes issue with an editorial’s portrayal of its workforce.The Correctional Officers union is wrong.
They are mercenaries
hired to do an unpleasant and risky task.
Their employment imparts no immunities from law.

Why Doctors Shouldn’t Be Punished for Giving Prostate Tests
Medicare should encourage patients to weigh the costs and risks of prostate tests, not punish doctors for ordering them.Patients must request PSA testing that is not diagnostic.
No symptoms, no test without a specific patient request.

Under Gun Rules, F.B.I. Will Receive Health Data
State agencies and Social Security will disclose to the F.B.I. “protected health information” including those who are dangers to themselves or who cannot manage their own affairs.Pointless.
When one knows that a shooting is necessary it is too late to
draw a gun.

Florida: Tape Released in Hospital Parking Lot Death
A woman who died after being forcibly removed from a Blountstown hospital lay in the parking lot beside a police officer’s car for nearly 18 minutes before a doctor readmitted her.The Blountstown hospital and police should feel the full force of the Legal system.
We will be told more.
