What Happened To Logan Mwangi?
For a more detailed breakdown, you can watch my video on YouTube here: Logan Mwangi was a 5-year-old boy who lived with his mother, Angharad Williamson (31) his stepfather, John Cole (40) and eventually his older stepbrother, Craig Mulligan (14). In every photograph of Logan, he is a smiley, cheery curly haired little boy who seemed well loved. However, behind the photos he was found in a cruel and dark situation.

Sagawa was a student of comparative literature in Paris at the time of his crime. He was promptly taken into custody and given a psychiatric institution term. He was able to check himself out of a separate psychiatric institution after his extradition to Japan, however, because to a legal loophole, and he is still free today.

RACISM BEHIND BARS
Introduction Hate groups can be found all over the United States, in every state of the union, with names like: Aryan Nation, The American Nazi Party, Church of the Creator, United White Peoples’ Party, and one of the oldest American hate terrorist groups, the Ku Klux Klan, which has many factions around the country. But you rarely think of these groups having much power or say in the jail and prison systems of the United States, where prisoners are watched twenty-four hours a day. But this is the very setting that makes it easy for them to recruit people to follow their messages of hate, people who already want to blame someone for their lives of bad addictions and choices, and extreme violence. “Prison officials estimate that up to 10 percent of the nation’s prison population is affiliated with such gangs” (Bigotry Behind Bars: Racist Groups in U.S. Prisons). These groups (or gangs as they are called ), recruit prisoners who are already prejudice against some minority or those who feel that they got a “bad break” somewhere along the way, and want to put a face on this perceived oppressor.

Unlike executions before his, Bundy’s became a celebration for Floridians and people across the country who wanted nothing more than to see Bundy fry in the electric chair.
