Word of the Day Carceral

December 27, 2016 by GµårÐïåñ

Carceral
car·cer·al
\ˈkär-sə-rəl\



Adjective :
  • of, relating to, or suggesting a jail or prison.
    Describing a painting of John Howard visiting a prison in 1787, Robert Hughes wrote that Howard was “the pioneer of English carceral reform” (Time Magazine, November 11, 1985). Prison reform might be the more common phrase, but the use of carceral was by no means unprecedented. Vladimir Nabokov, in his inimitable prose, described a prison scene in Invitation to a Beheading thusly: “The door opened, whining, rattling and groaning in keeping with all the rules of carceral counterpoint.” An adjective borrowed directly from Late Latin, carceral appeared shortly after incarcerate (“to imprison”), which first showed up in English around the mid-1500s; they’re both ultimately from carcer, Latin for “prison.”
Origin: Late Latin, from Latin carcer prison, First Known Use: circa 1587

Facebook i have made a personal choice after their "name policy" witch hunt which repeats every 2 years it seems at the whim of the "bully mob" (even when they make you jump through hoops and verify you), to just quit it and be done with it, they are not worth my time. I don't need it, I don't miss it, in fact it has made my life more productive and void of gross hate, vitriol and drivel. To those who say they can't stay in touch if I am not on there, if you can't reach me because I am not on Facebook, then you are not trying AT ALL - therefore, good riddance.
