Quote: "In one of the documents, the department [of justice] proposed that Congress grant the attorney general power to ask the chief judge of any district court to pause court proceedings "[from the United States Department of Justice] whenever the district court is fully or partially closed by virtue of any natural disaster, civil disobedience, or other emergency situation." See source article below... 'emergency powers'."Duterte tells Philippine police to shoot dead lockdown troublemakers""Instead of causing trouble, I'll send you to the grave." -- Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte - said April 2, 2020. WAKE THE F' UP PEOPLE!!!"Germans snitch on neighbors flouting virus rules, in echo of the Stasi past" -- Madeline Chambers"This willingness to report others is poisoning civilized behavior..." -- Rafael Behr, professor of criminology and sociology at the Hamburg Police Academy."Being institutionalized means that a person has been locked up long enough that they have become used to it, and this can create problems upon one's release. Prison has a very different culture and day to day life than life on the outside, and if you spend long on the inside you easily become used to it. Some of the problems and issues that are common are:"Being overwhelmed by decisions. Imagine that you basically have to make no major and few minor decisions every day. Now do that for years. Then you get out, decisions like what to have for breakfast can be baffling grocery shopping can be almost impossible. Add to that anxiety with big crowds."Anxiety/fear around people, especially big crowds. Generally, there are no big crowds in prison and when there is it is not good. Even on a bigger yard, people group in fairly small groups. Being out in public, among crowds of people, with your back exposed is a very uncomfortable feeling. I still sit with my back to the wall and my eye on the door." -- Skye SodjaSources:https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/21/doj-coronavirus-emergency-powers-140023https://ewn.co.za/2020/04/02/duterte-tells-philippine-police-to-shoot-dead-lockdown-troublemakershttps://nationalpost.com/pmn/health-pmn/germans-snitch-on-neighbors-flouting-virus-rules-in-echo-of-the-stasi-pasthttps://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/01/business/china-coronavirus-surveillance.htmlhttps://news.trust.org/item/20200401131119-famq1https://apnews.com/dffb2fa43d0c5fddc4508f2558603e67https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-australia/australian-police-put-a-90-day-limit-on-draconian-virus-measures-idUSKBN21J73M?il=0 https://www.quora.com/What-does-institutionalized-as-it-relates-to-convicts-really-mean
