Inventing the Charles River
Author: Karl Haglund
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262083078
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 536
Book Description
An illustrated account of the creation of the Charles River Basin, focusing on the precarious balance between transportation planning and the stewardship of the public realm. The Charles River Basin, extending nine miles upstream from the harbor, has been called Boston's "Central Park." Yet few realize that this apparently natural landscape is a totally fabricated public space. Two hundred years ago the Charles was a tidal river, edged by hundreds of acres of salt marshes and mudflats. Inventing the Charles River describes how, before the creation of the basin could begin, the river first had to be imagined as a single public space. The new esplanades along the river changed the way Bostonians perceived their city; and the basin, with its expansive views of Boston and Cambridge, became an iconic image of the metropolis. The book focuses on the precarious balance between transportation planning and stewardship of the public realm. Long before the esplanades were realized, great swaths of the river were given over to industrial enterprises and transportation—millponds, bridges, landfills, and a complex network of road and railway bridges. In 1929, Boston's first major highway controversy erupted when a four-lane road was proposed as part of a new esplanade. At twenty-year intervals, three riverfront road disputes followed, successively more complex and disputatious, culminating in the lawsuits over "Scheme Z," the Big Dig's plan for eighteen lanes of highway ramps and bridges over the river. More than four hundred photographs, maps, and drawings illustrate past and future visions for the Charles and document the river's place in Boston's history.

Constitutional Rights of Prisoners
Author: Edwin Powers
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Prison reform
Languages : en
Pages : 676
Book Description
After examining the changing role of the Federal courts in moving from a 'hands-off' policy with respect to prison administration to one of intervention, the constitutional rights of prisoners are explained under the principles of first amendment rights, due process of law, cruel and unusual punishment, equal protection of the laws, unreasonable searches and seizures, and slavery and involuntary servitude. Fifteen representative excerpts from Federal court opinions illustrate the relationship between enforceable constitutional rights and the administrative management of penal institutions, giving a general preview of how courts view the balance between what the Constitution may have intended and what prison administrators have in their discretion provided or withheld : The excerpts mirror the types of deliberations recorded by the Federal judiciary in the 1970's when confronted by litigation pertaining to the constitutional rights of prisoners. A section is then devoted to judicial opinions on alleged unconstitutional conditions and practices in U.S. jails and prisons. The issues covered are access to the courts, rehabilitation, pretrial detainees, visiting privileges, disciplinary hearings, religion, medical treatment, intrastate transfers, transfers to segregation, and interstate transfers. Additional issues include open-cell policy in isolation, cell size and 'double celling, ' punitive isolation, assaults by prisoners or staff, protective custody, mail rights, prisoners' labor unions, totality of conditions, prison staffs, Civil Rights Act, and escapes. The appendixes provide abbreviations and definitions, a table of cases, a consent decree, an extensive annotated bibliography, standards, and related constitutional amendments.
