Every abandoned place has a story.
Places I've Been
Inside an Abandoned Prison: Joliet Correctional Center
The beautiful neo-Gothic prison compound of Joliet Correctional Center stands abandoned and decaying after operating for nearly a century and a half.
After a stroll through the legendary ruins of Joliet Iron Works, I headed to the massive walled-off prison compound that lies just north of the abandoned steel mill.
Surrounded by 25-foot-high limestone walls topped with razor wire, Joliet Correctional Center covers 20 acres of land. The once self-sustaining compound consists of 24 buildings, including guard towers, cell blocks, administration buildings, light industrial facilities, a hospital, laundry, cafeteria, chapel and gymnasium. After years of neglect and vandalism, many of the structures are severly deteriorated.
Thick blankets of ivy cover the walls and fences. The grounds are overgrown with weeds that have pushed up through the cracked pavement.
The prison compound itself is not open to the public, but the parking lot has been transformed into the Old Joliet Prison Park. Visitors can enjoy a view of the castle-like main structure and read about the prison's history on a handful of informational signs.
Fortunately I was able to convince a friend of a friend who worked for the City of Joliet to grant me limited access to the administration building.
I was in awe from the moment I stepped inside. With elegant arched doorways and ornate wrought iron staircases, it looked nothing like how I imagined the interior of an old prison.
Some of the rooms even had marble fireplaces.
It was strange to see such beauty juxtaposed with the stark iron bars that separated it from the inmate areas.
Joliet Correctional Center opened in 1858, originally built to replace Illinois State Prison in Alton. Inmates were brought in from Alton to build the new prison, using limestone that was quarried on site.
By the late 1800s, the prison population had grown to a record-breaking high of 1239. In addition to overcrowding and concerns over the compound's aging infrastructure, exhaust from the nearby Joliet Steel mill was becoming a problem. Smoke often rolled in and covered the prison grounds in a thick haze, causing health problems for inmates and prison staff. One warden even resigned and moved away due to health concerns.
In 1910, the prison commissioners decided the facility needed to be replaced. Stateville Penitentiary opened in 1925, intended to replace it, but Joliet Prison remained open.
The facility has held quite a few notable inmates, including prisoners of war during the Civil War. The infamous murderers Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb were incarcerated there. Serial killer John Wayne Gacy also spent time in Joliet Prison before being sent to Stateville Correctional Center.
Joliet Correctional Center has been featured in several movies, including The Blues Brothers and Let's Go to Prison. Since its abandonment, it served as the setting for Season One of the T.V. show Prison Break and an episode of Bones.
The prison was also mentioned in songs, including "Percy's Song" by Bob Dylan, "Joliet Bound" by Memphis Minnie, and "Lincoln Park Pirates" by Steve Goodman.
Joliet Correctional Center closed in 2002 due to budget cuts and the aging of its buildings. Most of the inmates and employees were transferred to Stateville Correctional Center.
Redevelopment plans for the site are still in the works. The Joliet Area Historical Museum wishes to preserve the prison and open it for tours, though developers have submitted other plans that would require demolition of many of the historic structures.
I only got to see a small portion of the massive facility during my visit, but I hope to return one day if/when the grounds have been opened to the public.
Grateful for the opportunity to explore such a unique site, I said goodbye to Joliet and continued eastward on my Epic Rust Belt Road Trip.
Next stop: an abandoned power plant.

Haha, thanks, my love!
Sue November 28, 2016 at 8:54 AM
What a fantastic place. I imagine it was wonderful to see. Lucky you! I really enjoyed this. Did not know that about the Blues Bros. movie......neat!
Thanks, Sue! I felt very fortunate to get to see the inside of the main building. I hope I get to explore the rest of it some day.
Peter Udbjørg November 28, 2016 at 3:47 PM
Pity it's left to die due to neglect and vandalism. For what it's worth, it is a landmark and historical site, and a monument to those who built it.
It really is a shame. I was shocked to see that several floors had collapsed already. I hope they hurry up and get to work preserving the structures it before it's too late.
F that place spend more than 24 you will have a complete mind and spiritual experience. TRUST from someone who KNOWS
As you mentioned, home to "Joliet Jake" and "Elwood Blues". At least for one movie.
Are prisons the creepiest things to visit? I'd probably freak out.
PlacesThatWere December 2, 2016 at 5:10 AM
Prisons are pretty creepy, but hospitals are definitely creepier. I've seen some really spooky ones. Psychiatric institutions too.
I live in a nearby town. Yes, it would be great to see some buildings turned into a history center. Just looking at the massive staircases and arches would entise history buffs. My great grandfather worked at the steel mill nearby. Yes, plumes of fumes were present everywhere in the area
Thank goodness the air is cleaner nowadays. It must have been awful to breathe in all that exhaust. Still it would be amazing to go back in time for a day and see what the town was like during your great grandfather's era.
Greg December 11, 2016 at 6:55 AM
Another great explore and write-up. Thanks for giving us this look inside the admin building!
PlacesThatWere December 11, 2016 at 5:33 PM
Thank you, Greg! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I hope they are able to fix the site up. I grew up only 10 minutes away from the prison and I would be in awe of the buildings every time I passed them when I was little. Hopefully one day the site will be open to the public! The parking lot isn't very exciting. :(
PlacesThatWere March 19, 2017 at 9:12 AM
I hope they open it to the public too. It would be such an amazing museum and could probably bring in a lot of tourism.
Gary March 25, 2017 at 1:07 PM
I just came here because of a story that two teenage girls were fined for trespassing when one became trapped there somehow. I commented to someone that the prison should be demolished then later commented it should become a museum as was an old prison in Jefferson City, MO. Now see that the Joliet prison should be made into a museum, maybe also a haunted house as I assume some spooky things have occurred there as in the old Jeff City prison.
PlacesThatWere March 26, 2017 at 5:00 PM
I just found the article. It's a shame they had to break through the wall with a sledgehammer. I hate it when carelessness results in damage to beautiful old buildings. Must have been a terrifying experience for her.
Allan M April 10, 2017 at 2:07 PM
Ugh, I hate people who do vandalism to buildings like this! I always believe in not vandalizing things, and if I can't find an opening inside a building via an open window or door or other hidden entry point, I don't enter. Simple as that.
That prison was built at the time of the civil war a time where they built with passion it will stay
The city of Joliet(if that's who owns this building today, it seems), would make so much money doing occasional tours of this building. I wish they'd copy off the organization in Buffalo, NY that occasionally opens their former train station to the public, for tours and other event. That btw served briefly as a train station into the Amtrak years, before it was relocated to nearby Depew, NY.
Anyway back to this building, loved your entry on this place. I'm super jealous your friend knew someone who worked for the city of Joliet, and allowed you access into the administration building. By any chance, did you visit the former drive-in theater while you were in Joliet? I think it was called the Hilltop.
PlacesThatWere April 10, 2017 at 8:00 PM
I agree; the city definitely should allow occasional tours of this place. There is probably a lot of red tape and liability concerns preventing that from happening, but if it ever becomes a reality I'll sign up for sure. The part I saw was amazing, but it was only a small portion of the entire facility.
Now I want to check out the Buffalo train station. I'm going to look into it and see if I can get notified the next time they offer a tour.
I had no idea about the old drive-in. Wish I'd known about it when I was in town. I'm going to research it so I can check it out next time I'm in the area. Thank you for the suggestion!
State of Illinois still owns the prison
Went there yesterday and there are police on patrol ever since those kids set the place on fire a month ago. Wouldn't think on a Monday afternoon cops would be there but they were.
PlacesThatWere September 26, 2017 at 7:33 AM
Such a shame that the place was set on fire. I wish people had more respect for neat old historic buildings.
I would really like to do a photo shoot there, How hard is it to be able to get a pass to spend a few hours in there?
Tattoos123 December 20, 2017 at 9:09 PM
This was not a nice place to be. I was there for a while in 1997
Not sure if it's true but apparently they are using it as a haunted house this year. Already creepy enough.
PlacesThatWere February 5, 2018 at 7:54 AM
I've heard that too. That should be really interesting.
Rick Drew October 22, 2018 at 7:19 PM
The haunted house is the old women's prison across the street.
fasteddie October 27, 2019 at 12:13 PM
we called it the annex we had our physicals over there,the most corrupt prison i was ever in. the stories and secrets that place keeps.....had to pay the officers to go to the store
as a resident there from 1994-2000, (15 total years inside idoc) i can tell you "somehow" i have fond memories there.....just a different way to line actually. MBA here prior to going in - and i have managed to rebuild a decent, quiet life since getting out on 2009. Found memories? yes, there were some. Don't knock it till you try it.
Lupe August 1, 2018 at 10:08 AM
I grew up about about six blocks from there in the 60's-70's. My brothers used to go to the cemetery. Did you happen to have stubbled onto it? Also, Al Capone and Richard Speck, the mass murderer who killed 8 nurses in South Chicago in '66, were housed there. My best friend lived across the street from the prison and my husband's aunt's house is also near the prison and was used in the movie set "Blues Brothers." I hope they turn into a museum soon before it's totally destroyed. I have fond memories of that town and the near East side.
I didn't know the Hilltop drive-in was still there. I spent a lot of time at that drive-in growing up.
Tours are now offered of the jail. Check facebook.
Joseph T. Keen February 13, 2019 at 10:15 PM
The Will County Prison Records said that they has been abandoned that prison from a very long time and I think government should take it back into action and make it open as all things are almost good there now for reopen.
KimDCobain February 28, 2019 at 9:11 PM
Seems the nicer structures could be converted to condos. Tear down the scrappy buildings and turn the grounds into beauty. It could be awesome.
As of 2018 that I heard are in the works of restoring it, $20 I believe it was have some limited tours that goes toward the scraping of the lead paint Joliet prison will reopen one day
L. Mark July 13, 2019 at 11:13 PM
Inside an abandoned prison exciting. Thanks for the post
adgorn July 21, 2019 at 10:05 AM
Toured it yesterday via Atlas Obscura and the Joliet Historical Museum. Excellent, well organized tour. Great opportunity to get inside!
Trista October 14, 2019 at 9:10 AM
Thank you for sharing the inside pictures! Was there in August 2019 and was only able to see the outside, spoke with a lady that was taking care of the flowers, she was very nice and told us about the renovations that the state is trying to do! It's nice to see the pictures of the inside!
This place was disgusting in 1994. Can't imagine why it took so long to close. Worms coming out of the sinks... Awful. Glad it's been out of commission. Tear down the walls

Lumacaftor/Ivacaftor (dénomination commerciale Orkambi) est une combinaison de médicaments pour les personnes atteintes de mucoviscidose avec la mutation génétique homozygote ΔF508. Elle contient deux molécules actives, le Lumacaftor et l'Ivacaftor.

Le principe d'action de l'Ivacaftor consiste en l'augmentation de l'activité de la protéine CFTR à la surface de la cellule épithéliale, tandis que le Lumacaftor agit en augmentant la quantité de protéine CFTR à la surface de la cellule.

Cette combinaison de médicaments a reçu une autorisation de mise sur le marché (AMM) aux États-Unis en 2015, tandis qu'elle est encore en autorisation temporaire d'utilisation (ATU) en France.

Usage médical
La combinaison des deux molécules est utilisée en traitement des personnes atteintes de mucoviscidose homozygotes avec la mutation ΔF508.

Il raccourcit l'intervalle QT sur l'électrocardiogramme de certains patients porteurs d'un syndrome du QT long de type 2<ref>Schwartz
PJ, Gnecchi M, Dagradi F et al. From patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells to clinical translation in long QT syndrome Type 2, Eur Heart J, 2019;40:1832–1836</ref>, constituant une piste thérapeutique.

Effets indésirables et interactions
Une élévation des transaminases a été notée chez certains patients sous combiné. Des précautions doivent donc être prises pour les personnes avec des pathologies hépatiques.

Certaines personnes reportent une gêne respiratoire après la prise des comprimés. De plus, certains enfants sous traitement ont développé une cataracte.

Le combiné Lumacaftor/Ivacaftor peut interférer avec la pilule contraceptive. Il est aussi recommandé de réduire le dosage des comprimés si le patient prend des inhibiteurs de CYP3A.

Mécanismes d'action
La mutation ΔF508 a pour conséquence un mauvais repli de la protéine CFTR ce qui induit sa destruction par la cellule peu après sa synthèse. Le lumacaftor protège la protéine et accroît ainsi le nombre de CFTR arrivant à la surface de la cellule. L'Ivacaftor est un potentiateur de la protéine CFTR qui est à la surface de la cellule, accroissant la probabilité d'ouvrir le canal défectueux permettant aux ions chlorure de traverser la membrane cellulaire.

Propriétés physiques
Les deux molécules sont constituées de poudre blanche pratiquement insoluble dans l'eau. Leur combinaison est présentée sous la forme d'un comprimé contenant 200 mg de lumacaftor et 125mg d'ivacaftor.

Histoire
Lumacaftor/ivacaftor a été approuvé par la FDA (federal drug agency) aux États-Unis en . En France, une ATU (autorisation temporaire d'utilisation) a été délivrée en 2015 en attente de l'AMM (autorisation de mise sur le marché) prévue en 2016.

Be Well to Do Well: An Integrated Model for Healthy Individuals & Organizations
Recorded: Jun 25, 2014 at 04:30 pm EST
In most organizations, over 50% of the total healthcare costs are due to presenteeism, which is the loss of productivity due to a health related issue. Your employees may be showing up for work, but are they functioning at an optimal level committing their best energy to their work or are they functioning at a diminished capacity because of high stress, lack of physical activity, poor nutrition, emotional distress, or inadequate sleep? In this session, we'll explore the compelling case for employee health and well-being as a strategic business imperative for employee engagement and sustainable competitive advantage. We'll examine: 1.) The spiraling costs of poor health to individuals and organizations and the demographic trends driving the cost increase 2.) The critical importance of nurturing the whole person for optimal performance and personal fulfillment 3.) The Diamond Model of Integrated Health which identifies the 10 key areas necessary for well-being in mind, body, and spirit 4.) How to optimize an employee health initiative in your company Creating an organizational culture where health is valued as a business priority is a vital component of a contemporary total rewards strategy. Research shows that employee wellness programs are a very popular employee benefit that provides a real return on investment. In this era of global competition, organizations need every person functioning at his or her best. When team members are healthy and well, the result is reduced benefits costs, increased innovation, creative problem-solving, retention of top talent, high energy, and a winning culture where people are well, so they do well.

Over the weekend, I ran a 5K . I don't run in many races, but this one was different. This race was named in honor of my late father, an avid runner himself, who unexpectedly passed away three summers ago. This week would have marked his 60th birthday.
My dad's name was Dan. He lived in several different locations growing up, but his family settled in Detroit for his teenage years. Naturally, he grew to love Motor City sports' teams and bestowed that fandom on to me.
My dad was an all-state wrestler in high school. And if you know anything about wrestling in the Midwest, you know it's a hotbed of talent. Like football in Texas. He had scholarship offers to wrestle for Division I schools, but opted to attend Bible college instead with designs on becoming a pastor one day.
He settled down early. Really early. My dad was 18 and my mom the ripe old age of 19 when they got married. They were high school sweethearts.
After college, my parents spent time working with teenagers at churches in Daytona Beach, Florida (where I was born) and Rincon, Georgia prior to moving to Toledo, Ohio for my father's first gig as senior pastor. Although Toledo doesn't exactly conjure images of paradise, I loved spending my elementary years there. For me, it was a quintessential childhood.
When I was eleven, we moved to Stuart, Florida where my father accepted a new pastoral appointment. It's been home ever since.
I recently asked my mom about that move. I'd always assumed our relocation was brought on, in part, by a desire to be closer to my dad's brother and parents who lived an hour south. To my surprise, she said it had more to do with the opportunity he felt it would provide my sister and I. Looking back, I shouldn't have been surprised. Considering others before himself was his modus operandi.
My father was a kind and compassionate man and friend to many. Some have said you could see it in his eyes. He embodied humility and took pleasure in certain of life's modest offerings – an afternoon nap, a leisurely bike ride, and licorice candy.
As a pastor, he devoted his life to the ministry, and loved his family dearly. I wouldn't have traded our relationship for anything.
It's an interesting thing losing a parent. Nothing can prepare you for that moment. It's one of the few truly surreal occasions in life. For weeks and even months following my father's passing, I found myself grabbing my phone to text or call him about something only to remember that I could no longer do so.
Hundreds attended my father's funeral. In the days surrounding, many people shared personal anecdotes about him I'd never heard. I grinned over and over as each story confirmed the kind of man my father was. A man who was the same person day in and day out.
As life forges ahead, I'm left with many lessons learned and experiences shared. I endeavor to pass along similar lessons and experiences to my son because experience is a great teacher and I had one heck of a guide – the finest man I've ever known.

CISONECC was part of the 11th International Conference on Community-Based Adaptation (CBA11) to climate change which took place in Kampala, Uganda from 26-29 June 2017. This year's conference theme intended to highlight the benefits and challenges of harnessing natural resources and ecosystems for adaptation. Community-based adaptation to climate change (CBA) focuses on empowering communities to use their own knowledge and decision-making processes to take action on climate change.
CISONECC attended the Bonn Climate Change Conference, organized by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change which took place in Bonn, Germany 8th May to 18th May 2017. The conference covered the following areas; Climate Changes, Green house effects, stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere, green urban. Clean Energy, nature's Role.
CISONECC in collaboration with CARE Malawi organised an interface meeting between the Civil Society, Government Ministries and Departments and Members of Parliament under the parliamentary committee on Natural Resources and Environment and officials from the Ministry of Natural Resources Energy and Mining in the evening of 22nd May, 2017 at Lilongwe Hotel in Lilongwe.
The 2017 World Environment Day was organized by National Cook stove Steering Committee, with renewable energy as a working theme. The commemoration which focused on cleaner cooking took place event at Bingu National Stadium.
CISONECC with support from Southern Voices conducted a one-day Training workshop on Monitoring and Evaluation of the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) on 1st June, 2017 at Ufulu Gardens, Lilongwe. The aim of the training was to provide non-sate actors with the relevant skills to effectively monitor the NAP Process in the country. Alongside the training a Press Briefing on the status of the said Malawi NAP Process was conducted. The Press briefing was organized to inform stakeholders to ensure participatory and inclusive formulation, implementation and monitoring of the NAP Process in the country.
The Secretariat commissioned an assignment to update the Comprehensive Vulnerability Assessment Report for communities in its members' impact areas. In a bid to enhance understanding of context specific climate related vulnerabilities among member organisations for effective participation in national adaptation planning, CISONECC consolidated the Vulnerability Assessments for member organizations in 2015. The update was intended to inform relevant, up-to-date advocacy work.
The Government of Malawi in 2014 started the development a draft National Meteorological Policy to serve as an overarching reference document for the generation, provision of climate change, meteorological services and products for various users. However, the policy is yet to be adopted by Government since commencement of the drafting in 2014. This delay creates policy vacuum, which compromises development of the country since the national Meteorological Policy seeks to put in place appropriate strategies, legal and institutional framework for provision of weather and climate and climate change services needed to guide action in various sectors of the economy. The Press release was published in the Nation Newspaper.
Following the floods that occurred in the Capital City, Lilongwe, early this year, CISONECC in its mandate to influence policy processes released a press statement to express sadness and appeal to government to expedite processes of formulating Disaster Risk Management plans for cities and enforce laws regarding urban development. The process of developing DRM for cities has been underway since 2015. The delay furthers the vulnerability, exposure and risk of urban communities to occurrences of disasters.
CISONECC in collaboration with CARE International- Malawi, CARE DL and German Watch are implementing a project called ''CSOs Readiness to the Green Climate Fund (GCF) – Focus Africa''. The project is aimed at increasing CSOs involvement and engagement in GCF related processes. In order to understand GCF processes and the current situation in Malawi, CISONECC and its implementing partners conducted an assessment of the Malawi GCF state of play which will constitute a baseline for understanding the current situation in Malawi.
In this regard organized CISONECC and CARE organized a validation workshop which was held on 13th July 2017 at Silversands Hotel in Salima. The workshop aimed at sharing and discussing the findings of the assessment of the GCF state of play Report. The workshop was organized in a way that participants get the broader understanding of the Malawian GCF Project and its processes before presenting findings for the GCF state of play. The meeting was attended By Government officials, Development partners, Academia, Civil Society Organizations and Media.
To promote a community of practice for effective climate change and disaster risk management initiatives among stakeholders CISONECC held a Validation workshop to share and learn lessons, experiences and disseminate findings from the secretariat and Network members on climate change thematic areas. Knowledge exchange forums are pivotal in building the capacity of stakeholders involved in planning and implementing climate change adaptation interventions and gathering evidence to influence policy processes.
CISONECC held it's first ever Extra-Ordinary General Meeting as recommended by members during the December, 2016 AGM. The meeting was held on Friday 14th July, 2017 at Silver Sands Hotel, Salima.

CISONECC in collaboration with Oxfam organised a workshop, which brought together CSOs from the network and beyond to discuss and input into the country's position paper in readiness for the 23rd Conference of Parties scheduled for 6-17th November in Bonn, Germany. Malawi's key priority areas include: matters relating to implementation of the Paris Agreement, features of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), accounting of climate finance, transparency of action and support, technology development, diffusion and transfer, National Adaptation Plans, issues related to agriculture and REDD+ among others.
Under the 5-year Resource Rights Programme CISONECC conducted a Participatory Scenario Planning (PSP)training workshop for its project partners viz CADECOM Zomba, Dedza and Mangochi; and CICOD. The workshop was intended to create space for sharing climate information from both local and scientific knowledge, discussing and appreciating the value of the two sources and finding ways to interpret the information into a form that is locally relevant and useful. It was envisioned that the knowledge gained would be integrated into the RRP to contribute to resilience building for project target population; the poor subsistence farmer.
Raise public awareness on the existing renewable energy regulations and standards by providing a contextual analysis of the gaps and opportunities therein to address renewable energy challenges.
Discuss some of the challenges related to to enforcement of these regulations and technical standards on renewable energy technologies.

The Hebrides are a haven for mammals and animals such as grey seal, otter and red deer. The MV Cuma also visits sea-bird colonies - home to thousands of puffins, razorbills, guillemots, fulmar and kittiwakes. The haunts of the golden eagles are known and are regularly seen along with manx shearwater, storm petrel, gannet, great skua, divers and many other species.
No need to brave the icy Arctic weather to catch site of the magnificent humpback whale! Or to cruise the Caribbean to spot a dolphin, because the waters around Scotland are rated the best in Western Europe for whales, dolphins and porpoises.
MV Cuma places particular emphasis on sighting and recording cetaceans, following their seasonal feeding patterns, with passages to remote islands and sea lochs. The species most likely to be sighted include minke whale, harbour porpoise, risso's dolphin, white beaked dolphin, common dolphin, killer whale and northern bottlenose whale.
The World Heritage site of St Kilda is famous for breathtaking morphology, unique human history and teeming bird colonies. An island of special interest, it is the most westerly of the Outer Hebrides. MV Cuma cruises past the world's largest gannetry at the 1000ft cliffs of Boreray and Stacs with over 50,000 pairs of breeding gannets. Passengers are given time ashore to explore the village and archaeological remains staying up to three nights in Village Bay.

Official: No 'direct evidence' of plot to kill at Capitol
Federal prosecutors said there was "strong evidence" the pro-Trump mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol last week aimed to "capture and assassinate elected officials," but the head of the investigation cautioned Friday that the probe is still in its early stages and there was no "direct evidence" of such intentions.
By Associated Press Updated Jan 15, 2021, 3:50pm CST
Alanna Durkin Richer and Jacques Billeaud
Share All sharing options for: Official: No 'direct evidence' of plot to kill at Capitol
In this Jan. 6, 2021, file photo supporters of President Donald Trump are confronted by U.S. Capitol Police officers outside the Senate Chamber inside the Capitol in Washington. An Arizona man seen in photos and video of the mob wearing a fur hat with horns was also charged Saturday in Wednesday's chaos. Jacob Anthony Chansley, who also goes by the name Jake Angeli, was taken into custody Saturday, Jan. 9.
PHOENIX — Federal prosecutors said there was "strong evidence" the pro-Trump mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol last week aimed to "capture and assassinate elected officials," but the head of the investigation cautioned Friday that the probe is still in its early stages and there was no "direct evidence" of such intentions.
The accusation came in a motion prosecutors filed late Thursday in Phoenix in the case against Jacob Chansley, the Arizona man who took part in the insurrection while sporting face paint, no shirt and a furry hat with horns.
"Strong evidence, including Chansley's own words and actions at the Capitol, supports that the intent of the Capitol rioters was to capture and assassinate elected officials in the United States Government," prosecutors wrote in their memo urging the judge to keep Chansley behind bars.
But Michael Sherwin, acting U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, backed away from those claims later Friday, saying they have "no direct evidence at this point of kill, capture teams."
Sherwin said there appears to have been confusion among some prosecutors in part because of the complexity of the investigation and number of people involved. Prosecutors raised a similar prospect Thursday in the case of a former Air Force officer who they alleged carried plastic zip-tie handcuffs because he intended "to take hostages."
The sprawling investigation involves multiple cities and jurisdictions, in part because so many of the rioters simply went home; only 13 were arrested in the moments after the building was cleared.
The FBI has been investigating whether any of the rioters had plotted to kidnap members of Congress and hold them hostage, focusing particularly on the men seen carrying plastic zip-tie handcuffs and pepper spray.
The prosecutor in that case against Chansley said when he climbed up to the dais where Vice President Mike Pence had been presiding moments earlier, Chansley wrote a threatening note to Pence that said: "It's only a matter of time, justice is coming."
Pence and congressional leaders had been ushered out of the chamber by the Secret Service and U.S. Capitol Police before the rioters stormed into the room.
Gerald Williams, Chansley's attorney, didn't return a phone call or respond to email Friday morning seeking comment. A detention hearing is scheduled in his case for later Friday.
Chansley, who calls himself the "QAnon Shaman" and has long been a fixture at Trump rallies, surrendered to the FBI field office in Phoenix on Saturday.
News photos show him at the riot shirtless, with his face painted and wearing a fur hat with horns, carrying a U.S. flag attached to a wooden pole topped with a spear.
QAnon is an apocalyptic and convoluted conspiracy theory spread largely through the internet and promoted by some right-wing extremists.
Chansley told investigators he came to the Capitol "at the request of the president that all 'patriots' come to D.C. on January 6, 2021." An indictment unsealed Tuesday in Washington charges him with civil disorder, obstruction of an official proceeding, disorderly conduct in a restricted building, and demonstrating in a Capitol building.
More than 80 people are facing charges stemming from the violence, including more than 40 people in federal court. Dozens more were arrested for violating a curfew that night. The federal charges brought so far are primarily for crimes such as illegal entry, but prosecutors have said they are weighing more serious charges against at least some of the rioters. Some were highly-trained ex-military and police.
Sherwin said this week that he has organized a group of national security and public corruption prosecutors whose sole focus is to bring sedition charges for the "most heinous acts that occurred in the Capitol."
The Air Force officer, Col. Larry Rendall Brock, Jr., was arrested Sunday in Texas after being photographed on the Senate floor during the deadly riot wearing a helmet and heavy vest and carrying plastic zip-tie handcuffs.
"He means to kidnap, restrain, perhaps try, perhaps execute members of the U.S. government," Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Weimer said, without providing specifics.
Brock's attorney, Brook Antonio II, noted that he has only been charged with misdemeanors. Antonio said there was no direct evidence of Brock breaking doors or windows to get into the Capitol, or doing anything violent once he was inside.

This article is about the political organization reorganized in 1973. For its forerunner, see Socialist Party of America (1901-1972).
The Socialist Party USA is a multi-tendency democratic socialist political party in the United States. The party is the eponymous heir to the Socialist Party of America, which had previously adopted the name Socialist Party USA in 1962.
The party is officially committed to left-wing democratic socialist ideas. The Socialist Party USA, along with its predecessors, has been met with varying support. Some attribute this to the party having to compete with the financial dominance of the two major parties, as well as the limitations of the United States' legislatively and judicially entrenched two-party system.
The party is opposed to both capitalism and authoritarian Communism and supports the socialization of big business under public ownership and workers' control. The Party advocates independent electoral action aimed at promoting socialist alternatives and categorically opposes the candidates of the two major parties. Presently the party has approximately 1,000 members in good standing. Its youth affiliate is the Young People's Socialist League (YPSL).
In 1958, the Trotskyist Independent Socialist League led by Max Shachtman dissolved to join the Socialist Party of America. Shachtman, whose politics had begun to move sharply to the right since his days as a Trotskyist leader, argued both for militant opposition to Soviet-style communism and that the Socialist Party should work within the Democratic Party. By 1972 Shachtman's Unity Caucus had taken control of the Socialist Party and blocked a resolution opposing the Vietnam War. In the 1972 presidential election, Shachtman's caucus initially backed hawkish Cold Warrior Senator Henry "Scoop" Jackson, then adopted AFL-CIO President George Meany's position of neutrality between the two candidates nominated by the major parties.
In response, two groups broke off: the Coalition Caucus led by Michael Harrington supported antiwar Democrat George McGovern and went on to form the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee (later becoming the Democratic Socialists of America), while the left-wing Debs Caucus backed People's Party anti-war candidate Benjamin Spock. The Debs Caucus formed the Union for Democratic Socialism, which officially reconstituted the Socialist Party USA in 1973, when the Shachtmanites who remained in the Socialist Party re-named their organization Social Democrats USA. Numerous local and state branches of the old Socialist Party, including the Wisconsin, California, Illinois, New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C., participated in the reconstitution of the Socialist Party USA.
After its founding, the party promoted itself as the legitimate heir of the Socialist Party of America. Former Mayor of Milwaukee, Frank P. Zeidler, was elected the first chairman of the party. Zeidler also helped re-organizing the party structure during its early years. He was later nominated as the party's candidacy for the presidential office, with Zeidler believing the party would be able to collaborate with other socialist parties nationwide to spread the message of socialism.
The party surprised the American media in some elections in recent decades. In 1992, Socialist Iowa City Councilwoman Karen Kubby won her re-election with the highest vote totals in the Iowa City Council's history, and was continually re-elected until retiring from the Council in 2000. In 2000 Socialist Wendell Harris received 19% of the vote for Mayor of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In 2008, Socialist Jon Osbourne pulled in 22% of the vote for Rhode Island's 34th District State Senate seat, while listed on the ballot under the Socialist Party USA label.
According to the party's first chairman, Frank P. Zeidler, the party had around 500 members nationwide in 1975. The Socialist Party experienced substantial growth during the late 1970s and early to mid-1980s, expanding from only around 600 dues-paying members to around 1,700. In 2008, the WMNF claimed that the party had around 3000 paying members.
"It's based on fairness and equality. [...] And right now America under the capitalistic system is based on greed and getting ahead and you usually do it at the expense of your fellow man."
— Brian Moore, the presidential candidate for the 2008 election, talking about the unjust system of capitalism and the fairness of socialism.
While some SP members favor a more gradual approach to socialism, most others envision a more sweeping or revolutionary transformation of society from capitalist to socialist through the decisive victory of the working class in the class struggle. Some SP members also advocate revolutionary nonviolence or pacifism, while some consider armed struggle a possible necessity. The Party's Statement of Principles rejects equating socialism with a "welfare state" and calls for democratic social revolution from below. Many party members consider contemporary labor struggles to be of particular importance, and work in the party's Labor Commission.
The party is strongly committed to socialist feminism and strives to carry out its internal practices in accordance with feminist process. It requires gender parity among its elected National Convention delegates, National Committee members, and national Co-Chairs and Co-Vice Chairs of the Party, and organizes pro-choice activities. Its platform considers abortion a part of women's health care rights. It has an active Women's Commission which publishes the magazine Socialist Women.
During his campaign, the Socialist Party candidate for president, Brian Moore, was very vocal against the idea that Obama was a socialist of any kind. He further commented on the issue, saying it was "misleading of the Republicans" to spread that message. In a later statement about Obama's policies, co-chairman of the Socialist Party, Billy Wharton called Barack Obamas State of the Union Address a "public relations ploy". He concluded with; "The time for slick public relations campaigns has ended - the time for building our grassroots movements is more urgent than ever. The Socialist Party USA stands ready to join in such a political revitalization".
The Party's National Action Committee condemned the Israeli offensive against the city of Gaza and its people. The party demands the United States government to stop all military funding to Israel. The party also seeks to end what they call the United States "special relationship" with Israel and the immediate withdrawal of American troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. During the 2008 election, the Socialist Party promoted itself as an anti-war party, with Brian Moore, the presidential candidate, claiming the war was destroying small communities throughout the country. He also criticised what he called "pressure on the local governments" by the Bush administration. The Socialist Party of Connecticut denounced Obama's troop surge in Afghanistan, claiming that the president was throwing away much needed resources the country needed to get pulled out of the financial crisis. After denouncing him, the state affiliate organized a protest in front of the federal building in Hartford.
The party is also against what they see as "anti-Mexican policies" of the Democratic and Republican Party. With Stewart A. Alexander, former Vice Presidential candidate for the party in 2008, claiming that the Democratic Party was elected with an "anti-immigrant rhetoric" which could lead to an "anti-immigrant public phobia" across the country. The Socialist Party believes the solution to this problem would be to strengthen the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
In his race for Governor of New Jersey, party member Greg Pason promoted a stronger public sector, socialized medicine and expansion of the public school system of the United States. In 1997, Pason called auto insurance "a regressive tax against working people". Moore was also vocal of his support for public healthcare and socialized medicine. Moore believes that capitalism is a selfish system which focuses on the wealthy and the powerful, and not the weak and the poor. He feels that redistributing the wealth between the rich and the poor would give the country a stronger public sector, which-in-turn would focus on renewable energy and the needy. During his presidential campaign he claimed that the current economic system was falling apart because of capitalism own "greed".

I have reviewed a few action cameras, such as the DBPower 4K, the Mgcool Explorer, and the SJ7 Star. For ease of use and simplicity, the VanTop Moment 3 beats the rest of the cameras I have tried so far. It was really easy to set up and get going out of the box.
It is intuitive, with menus that are simple to use and configure. Although it does not have a touch screen, the navigation buttons make it easy and quick to configure the settings you want.
The Moment 3 has 4K HD technology and will record videos at 4K/25fps, 2.7K/30fps, 1080p/60fps, 1080p/30fps, and 720p/120fps. It will take still images at up to 12MP resolution.
It also has the capability to take three burst photos for the best set of shots, or it can be used in time-lapse mode which takes photos from 2- to 60-second intervals. The camera has a TF slot for a card of up to 64GB capacity.
It has a 170-degree angle lens which gives an expected amount of barrel distortion. I was not too keen on this as the horizon tends to distort and move around as you travel.
The wide angle is not configurable, unfortunately. I had the impression that I was viewing video taken with a fish eye lens.
The camera is compatible with GoPro camera accessories -- not that you would need them. There is a huge set of clips, grips, holders, straps, stands, connectors, filters, mounts, and a selfie stick. There are 29 added accessories in total, and all are GoPro compatible.
I love the fact that this camera is waterproof to 30 meters. Unfortunately, I did not go diving during the time I used the Moment 3. The 170=degree wide angle lens would not show so much distortion on a dive.
The Moment 3 has two 1050mAh batteries which will record up to an hour of 4L video. They take about five hours to charge fully. With a battery in the camera, it weighs in at 65g (a little under 2.3 ounces).
The camera has a micro USB port and a micro HDMI port. There are two function buttons and a power button. There is also a microphone and a speaker. Playback sound is poor from the camera speaker, but good quality when the TF card is placed into a PC.
The image quality is variable from the OV4689-2A sensor. The exposure in bright light looks a little washed out, but in normal lighting the image quality is good.
I like the wireless wrist remote control, which is splash proof, but not waterproof. I used the remote control more often than the camera buttons themselves.
I was disappointed that the camera had no motion detection feature like the DBPower and the SJ7 Star. Time-lapse does not do it for recording the little critters that hang around the garden and appear when I'm not there. The Moment 3 also had less features than the other cameras overall. However the app was a nice addition for remote viewing.
All in all, this is a sub-$60 basic camera with easy-to-use interface that would be a great first action camera for someone. The accessories give you many options to record every aspect of your life.

Just weeks after looking as though it would tumble below $6,000, bitcoin resides above $8,200 on Tuesday morning and looks poised for more upside.
Despite the recent bull run by Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency is still down over 60 percent from its all-time high when it was trading around $20,000 in December of 2017. A mix of global news regarding cryptocurrency theft, fraud and manipulation have put downward pressure on prices. However, some market observers believe the recent price surge could be in its early innings.
"CoinMarketCap's bitcoin dominance rate, an indicator that tracks the percent of the total cryptocurrency market capitalization contributed by the leading cryptocurrency, rose to 46 percent today — the highest level since December 20 — adding credence to BTC's 20 percent rally seen in the last seven days," reports Coin Desk.
As of 10:45 a.m. EDT Tuesday, bitcoin's market value resided around $140.43 billion. By comparison, ethereum, the second-largest digital currency by market capitalization, had a market value of $48 billion.
Recently, VanEck's Gabor Gurbacs was among the analysts issuing bullish calls on bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency. Gurbacs is looking at Bitcoin with respect to capital flows and the outflow of investors from gold, $7 trillion in terms of assets, could spike the price of Bitcoin exponentially–according to Gurbacs estimates, 5%-10% of that outflow from gold could make its way towards Bitcoin.
One of the biggest problems facing the cryptocurrency space is that, even with bitcoin's prominence, no digital currencies can be deemed "widely accepted." However, there are signs more professional investors are using bitcoin. In recent weeks, volume in bitcoin futures trading on Cboe and CME has risen.

Campbell sisters dilemma: where to stash all their medals?
KAZAN, Russia (AP) Already with four medals between them at these swimming world championships - including three golds - Australia's Campbell sisters are looking to get a couple more.
The question now is where to keep all that hardware in the room they're sharing in Russia.
Cate Campbell posted the fastest time in the heats for the 50-meter freestyle Saturday, indicating that she's ready to bounce back after losing her 100 title to younger sister Bronte a night earlier.
After morning prelims, the sisters were giggling over the whereabouts of Bronte's gold.
''It's stashed away somewhere,'' Bronte said. ''I'll take it out and have a look at it in a few days.''
Perhaps Cate stole it?
''I'll be looking under the bed later,'' Bronte said.
Not so, said older sis.
''It's on the dressing table next to her midnight snack,'' said Cate, who got bronze in the 100. ''I think she got up for a sneaky peak when she went for a midnight snack. ... (It's) not under my bed.''
Cate's 50 time of 24.40 seconds beat Arianna Vanderpool-Wallace of the Bahamas by just 0.03 seconds, while multi-event standout Sarah Sjostrom of Sweden was third in 24.53.
''It was very, very quick this morning,'' Cate said. ''There are a few girls who had swum the 100 who were feeling a little bit dusty but I would say the majority of the girls in the top 16 didn't swim the 100 so they were nice and fresh. Everyone needed to be on top of their game in the morning.''
Olympic and defending champion Ranomi Kromowidjojo of the Netherlands advanced fourth in 24.62, while Bronte was seventh in 24.74.
The Campbell sisters also swam the final two legs to lead Australia to gold in the 4x100 relay on the opening night of the eight-day meet.
''First we had Cate and now there are two,'' Kromowidjojo said. ''I'm really happy for Bronte. She swam really good yesterday. We'll see what tomorrow will bring.''
The top 16 in the 50 free advanced to the semifinals later Saturday, with the final Sunday.
Bahrain's Alzain Tareq, a 10-year-old who is the youngest ever competitor at worlds, finished more than 35 seconds behind.
''It was good. I beat my best time,'' Tareq said, before recounting the memories she'll take away from this meet. ''That I met Missy (Franklin), Sarah (Sjostrom), Cate (Campbell), Bronte (Campbell). I met champion swimmers.''
In the marathon-like 1,500 free, Gregorio Paltrinieri of Italy qualified first in 14:51.04. Connor Jaeger of the U.S. was second in 14:53.34 and world record-holder Sun Yang of China was third in 14:55.11.
''I did what I wanted to do without pushing too much,'' Paltrinieri said.
Canadian veteran Ryan Cochrane made it through in sixth while Australian newcomer Mack Horton failed to advance in 11th.
''This morning was a bit of a battle. I felt heavy,'' Horton said, before looking ahead to next year's Rio de Janeiro Olympics. ''It's probably good it happens here and not next year.''
There were also heats in three non-Olympic events contested on the penultimate day of the meet: defending champion Camille Lacourt of France led the 50 back in 24.56; world-record holder Ruta Meilutye of Lithuana topped the 50 breast in 29.74; and the United States team of Conor Dwyer, Ryan Lochte, Margo Greer, and Abbey Weitzeil led the newly introduced 4x100 free mixed gender relay in 3:24.51.
Australia, the world-record holder, didn't enter the relay.
Later, U.S. teenager Katie Ledecky was aiming for her fifth gold of the meet in the 800 free - one of six finals in the evening session.

This weeks card is Maker Nine (Nine of Pentacles) from The Tarot of the Sidhe.
It depicts a strong and sturdy tree, rooted in the earth and reaching to the heavens. The tree is abundant with foliage and beautiful pink blossom. It is surrounded by lush, verdant countryside, and beside a babbling brook. In the background a fiery, nourishing sun rises above this fertile land.
You will notice that the tree stands alone and independent…..more than capable of sustaining and providing for itself. It has everything required for nourishing itself ~ rich soil, pure water and abundant light. In these conditions it can thrive and grow prolifically. This indicates a time of great comfort and satisfaction.
In life this is a metaphor for being able to take care of yourself. You have everything required to nurture yourself, without the need to rely on others. Sometimes it might not seem like it, but look around you and it will be apparent that your life is rich with resources and support that will always help you to meet your needs.
When this card appears good health is indicated, and it is a time to thrive and flourish. The tree is rooted in the earth, with it's leaves opening up to the sun. The profusion of pink blooms show that you are truly "in the pink" right now.
