Stock image MANILA, Philippines — About three in five jails in the country were still bursting at the seams with persons deprived of liberty (PDLs) as congestion rates reached as high as 2,827 percent in 2023, way beyond acceptable standards, state auditors found. Such conditions bring to the fore the government’s obstacles to reaching a fully humane handling of PDLs where their health and overall welfare are prioritized. Based on the latest annual report of the Commission on Audit (COA), 324 out of the total 482 jail facilities nationwide were overcrowded, or a congestion rate of 67.22 percent, which was far beyond the acceptable standards set by the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) and the United Nations for the treatment of prisoners. READ: Mental illnesses, respiratory infections prevalent in PH jails, prisons The three most crowded facilities were Dasmariñas City Jail-female dormitory, which had a congestion rate of 2,827 percent; followed by Muntinlupa City Jail-male dormitory (2,102 percent) and San Mateo Municipal Jail-male dorm (2,022 percent). This reflects the “unhealthy living conditions of the PDLs,” the COA noted, adding that “congestion has always been one of the biggest challenges in carrying out its mandate in humane safekeeping and development of PDL under its care.” The latest congestion rate was also virtually unchanged from 2022 when 323 out of the total 478 jail facilities, equivalent to 67.57 percent, was recorded. With a total jail population of 117,425 last year, the government needs to create a cell area of at least 551,897 square meters to provide a “habitable” space of 4.7 sq m per inmate that meets standards, the COA stressed. But the BJMP, which runs and supervises city, municipal and district jails in the country, had a combined cell area of only 216,788 sq m in that year, it added. This meant that the bureau would need more jail space of at least 335,109 sq m to prevent jails from becoming full to the brim. The COA also flagged unfinished construction projects for jail facilities in Metro Manila that contributed to the perrenially high congestion rate. Among the jails that were “not fully utilized or nonoperational” as of end-2023 were Quezon City Jail, including its female dormitory and annex; and the Metro Manila District Jail. “The significant delays in the completion of the project[s] were caused by numerous suspension orders and time extensions,” it noted. Outside the capital region, the respective jail buildings in Tubao, La Union; San Fabian, Pangasinan; and the male and female dormitories in Gapan City in Nueva Ecija, had yet to become operational due to lack of funding for the construction of perimeter fence, electricity and water connections. According to the COA, PDLs could only be transferred to new jail facilities upon the completion of the construction of the perimeter fence as it curbs any jailbreaks and the entry of contraband. Although state auditors commended the slight decrease by about 8 percent in the number of PDLs last year from the total jail population of 127,031 in 2022, the change still did not help the situation. By area, the biggest drop in the number of inmates were recorded in Metro Manila, followed by Calabarzon, Central Visayas and Soccsksargen. Aside from ensuring that PDLs have a space conducive to reformation and rehabilitation, a decongested jail can also avert potential prison “gangs,” said the COA. “Jail congestion not only results in health and sanitation issues but also amplifies gang affiliation among inmates,” it said in the report. “To ensure their survival, inmates cling to gangs or ‘pangkat,’ where they seek protection, a social support network, and crucially, access to material resources that are scarce in overcrowded facilities.” Government auditors emphasized the importance of “continuous efforts to alleviate jail congestion” in bolstering public safety and improving the living conditions of PDLs in compliance to the UN minimum standard rules and the BJMP’s own manual on habitat, water, sanitation and kitchen in jails.

Among the recommendations made by the COA to address jail congestion, which the BJMP management agreed to, include for the agency to request donation of lots to add more jail sites; ask for more budget for the acquisition of lots for the construction of additional jail facilities, perimeter fence and the needed utilities; and facilitate the “early release of qualified detainees” in line with the good conduct time allowance law and other related policies.has just become ’s third consecutive critically acclaimed project for DC, but it’s his first creative output from his new DCU slate as co-head of DC Studios. Technically speaking, it’s the fifth celebrated project in a row since he oversaw Matt Reeves’ DC Elseworlds’ HBO series, , as well as the Sundance acquisition of . Gunn did not intend for his new animated series to launch the rebooted DC universe, but immediately following the ratings juggernaut that was season one, HBO Max, now Max, asked Gunn if he had another streaming series in him. He proceeded to write all seven episodes of on spec, and just as he was dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s, he was hired by Warner Bros. Discovery to shepherd the entire universe alongside his longtime friend and producer, Peter Safran. Thus, is first up to bat since the 7-episode series was already in motion. In late 2022, after turning in his scripts, Gunn knew that he needed to hire a showrunner while he and Safran conceived the rest of the DCU’s first chapter. That eight- to ten-year plan is now known as featuring a handful of films, TV series and games, including 2025’s , the DCU’s “true beginning.” All the while, , who co-created Max’s beloved animated series (2019), was helping Gunn bring to fruition. But as swamped as Gunn was with and various other tasks, Lorey is grateful that the filmmaker and studio co-chair was still able to be hands-on with , versus redirecting him to other parties. “To tell you the truth, it was one of the best experiences I’ve had. I didn’t have to go through anybody else. It was one-stop shopping,” Lorey tells . Gunn adds: “[Going through multiple people] can be a pain in the ass. Honestly, [working directly] was something good that I got from Marvel. There was a very clear back and forth [with Marvel], and while there was sometimes arguing in the best of ways, it always led to something different. It wasn’t like people were taking sides. The politics of it was gone, and that’s the way that we did . It was me working together with Dean to create the best thing, and none of us had egos.” takes place shortly after season one, as Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) sidesteps the congressional ruling that she can no longer enlist human prisoners for A.R.G.U.S.’s dangerous missions by now using imprisoned monsters. As a result, Waller hands a new operation and team to Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo), the father of the fallen , who was murdered by Peacemaker/Christopher Smith (John Cena) in Gunn’s DC debut, (2021). Grillo’s older Flag will also play a key role in the upcoming film and second season of , all of which serves as an example of the kind of synergy that Gunn hopes to maintain between animation and live-action. As for the DCU’s upcoming live-action launch, Gunn is currently test-screening (2025), and he remains absolutely bullish about David Corenswet’s Superman/Clark Kent. “Honestly, from the bottom of my heart, David Corenswet is going to freak everyone out with how great he is,” Gun insists. “He is one of the best actors I’ve ever worked with, and he can do everything. The man is incredible.” Gunn has also just wrapped season two, and he’s excited about the deviation that’s coming the audience’s way in late 2025. “Season two of is also going to take people by surprise,” Gunn shares. “We take a very different route than the first season, and it’s a really magical story that people are going to be blown away by.” Below, during a conversation with , Gunn and Lorey also address the question surrounding what is and isn’t canon from the now-defunct DCEU, as well as a potential second season of . *** Well, it really wasn’t meant to be that. The main thing is that it was already written. ( ) HBO Max asked me to do another show after the success of , but I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted to do. Committing to a TV show is a big deal, so I just started playing with different ideas, and then I started writing on spec. I wrote all seven episodes in a few weeks, and then right around the time that I was finishing those scripts, I got hired as the co-head of DC Studios. So we were ready to go [with ]. I supervised production and shepherded it forward, but James was still very involved in every step. We sent him the voice records cut together, the animatics, everything, so James was very much a part of the whole process. I don’t know how he does it! Every time I dealt with , it was like Christmas for me. Taking on a project the size of is just crazy. It’s hard and stressful. But the [ ] guys were doing such amazing work, and the cast was so incredible. They just kept sending me one great thing after another, but I also really cared about it. The pieces that I care about, I really get into the nitty-gritty of them. Of course, I worked with the actors for the recording of everything, which is relatively simple. At the end of the day, there’s seven episodes and they aren’t long. So we recorded everybody doing everything at once, and it wasn’t that much time. Yeah, they’re light canon. is pretty straightforward, with the exception of the appearance by a certain group [the former DCEU’s Justice League] at the end. ( ) They don’t exist . But the rule is: if we mention [something from the past] in one of the new DCU shows [and movies], then it happened. So that’s the way we’re dealing with it. ( ) To tell you the truth, it was one of the best experiences I’ve had. Being the creator of the show, James’ notes were very clear and very specific. I also knew that once we did them, I didn’t have to go through anybody else. It was one-stop shopping. Yeah, [going through multiple people] can be a pain in the ass. Honestly, it was something good that I got from Marvel. Normally, when you work on a movie, it’s the director’s voice, the studio’s voice and the producers’ voice. Sometimes, it’s the production company, and oftentimes, all those things can really fight each other. And working with Marvel, it was me as a director and them as the producer/studio. So there was a very clear back and forth, and while there was sometimes arguing in the best of ways, it always led to something different. It wasn’t like people were taking sides. The politics of it was gone, and that’s the way that we did . It was me working together with Dean to create the best thing, and none of us had egos. I can’t do everything, so it’s about using my time as best I can. There’s a lot of things I have to turn over to the guys to do, and it’s about really putting my time where it needs to be. I’m a micromanager. When I’m doing a movie, I’m looking at every single thing. So it’s definitely been wearing, and honestly, I can’t do what I’ve been doing the past [however many years]. Well, I wouldn’t give away any state secrets, but I haven’t tried to grill James for anything about these characters. I’d mostly like to be surprised. I hope that James writes the next batch of stuff and that I can read it all in the same way that I did this past batch. So that’s how I’d like to find out unless I’m the one writing. Yeah, we’ve talked about all of these characters in live-action and how we would do them, if we did them, in live-action. I don’t want to give away any secrets, but we use some technology in that’s completely new in regards to this kind of stuff. So we would know exactly how to do GI Robot. Absolutely. 100 percent. That’s right. Everything is very consistent in terms of the politics of the world and where the world is at and what’s going on; who are the metahumans in power, who are the metahumans not in power; who are the power brokers, who are not the power brokers. So we see a glimpse of it here, but we see more of it in and . We took elements of what the DC Frankenstein has been as this mercenary. But we also took a lot of things from Mary Shelley’s original for both the Bride and for Frankenstein, and we put them together in a way that added some other interesting elements. But I love Mary Shelley’s , and part of the real fun for me was playing with that canon in the same way that we’re playing with the DC canon. And David Harbour’s performance adds a whole other dimension to our Frankenstein. Indira’s [Varma] Bride, too. The two of them are just incredible. Yeah, I found his backstory to be heartbreaking and touching and emotional in ways that you would never associate with Weasel. It was by far the most surprising backstory. Yeah, he does. He really does. He does me favors when I need him, and he’s amazing in his episode of . Linda Cardellini, who’s another one of my close friends who I’ve worked with a lot, is amazing as Weasel’s lawyer, Elizabeth [Bates], in episode four. So I have this group of people who never ever let me down, like Nathan Fillion. Gregg Henry, who’s amazing, is in this season. So there’s just a lot of really wonderful actors that I’ve formed bonds with, and because I know the ins and outs of what they can do, I use them as appropriately as I can. Yeah, we were able to do that. We got several together. We had Indira and Zoë [Chao] together. They were great fun to watch, and they were fangirling over each other. It was terrific. Who were the others? Grillo and Harbour. And Grillo and Maria [Bakalova]. That’s right. There are these couples throughout the show, and it was important to get the energy between them so that it didn’t read like your usual thing with one line, one line, one line, one line. We wanted to really have this conversationalist, back-and-forth energy, and Indira and Zoë added little things afterwards to really keep it alive and make it feel like it’s real. So it was important to us from the beginning to keep that naturalistic style. We’ve talked about it, yeah. I feel great. is an enormous bear of a movie. It’s completely different from this show in every way, but it’s very much fantastic as well. Honestly, from the bottom of my heart, David Corenswet is going to freak everyone out with how great he is. He is one of the best actors I’ve ever worked with, and he can do everything. The man is incredible. And then season two of is also going to take people by surprise. We take a very different route than the first season, and it’s a really magical story that people are going to be blown away by.

WASHINGTON — H.W. Crocker III thinks Western civilization is in trouble. He supports conservative Christian moral values and has decried the rise of a new, secular America where a growing number of people answer “none” to surveys asking which religion they practice. He’s lauded the Confederacy and its soldiers and generals in books like the “Politically Incorrect Guide to the Civil War” and “Robert E. Lee on Leadership.” And, this year, he picked up a new job: communications consultant for Sen. Josh Hawley’s Senate campaign. Hawley’s campaign paid Crocker $55,000 for communications consulting between May and November, according to campaign finance records. While it’s unclear how large a role Crocker played in the campaign, the decision to bring him in comes as Hawley appears to be at the forefront in pushing a socially conservative political message driven by religion — particularly Christianity. Hawley is at work on a book that calls for a religious revival in America, tentatively titled “The Awakenings: The Religious Revivals that Made America — and Why We Need Another.” It comes as the Missouri Republican has spent the past year honing a message that the Republican Party should focus on promoting the working class while defending faith, family and God — a bet that leaning into Christian beliefs is a winning strategy for Republicans, casting the party as the country’s moral compass while the left drives America into hedonism. With President-elect Donald Trump winning a second term and Republicans in control of Congress, Hawley’s push will find a receptive audience. He has a key ally in the White House, Vice President-elect JD Vance, who can help push Hawley’s agenda, particularly when it comes to promoting social and economic policies aimed at the working-class voters who make up the Republican Party’s base. Already, the ideology has started to gain more influence in Missouri. A state lawmaker has filed a bill to put the Ten Commandments in public schools. A Kansas City-area pastor who says there is no difference between church and state was elected to a state Senate seat. It has some Kansas City-area religious leaders concerned, like the Rev. Stephen Jones with the First Baptist Church in Kansas City. “They will not help Christianity,” Jones said. “They will hurt it. They’ll domesticate it, I guess it is the right word to use. They’ll domesticate the message of Christianity and take away the elegance of its truth. And I don’t want that to happen.” At the Capitol, Hawley responded “no comment” when asked what role Crocker served on the campaign and whether Crocker was serving as a speechwriter — as he once did for California Gov. Pete Wilson in the 1990s. Hawley’s campaign has previously said Hawley writes his own speeches. Over the past month, since winning reelection, Hawley has refused to talk to The Star on any subject without providing any explanation, saying he will not comment “now or in the future.” Crocker did not respond to an email sent to a publicly listed email address. Embracing the Confederacy In August 2023, amid a national conversation about American masculinity and the struggles young men appear to be facing, Crocker offered up a solution: Young men should follow the example of Confederate soldiers. His essay, which referenced his book “Robert E. Lee on Leadership,” focused heavily on the religion of Confederate soldiers, framing the debate over whether to take down statues memorializing the Confederacy as an effort to remove tributes to Christian men. “The torn-down statues celebrated Christian men: men who put duty above self, who prayed, who believed in self-sacrifice, righteousness, service, and heroism (and recognized it in others), who trusted in God and relished life as a gift,” Crocker wrote, saying they stood in contrast with young men and women who he deemed “the most anxious, depressed, shallow, irreligious, unpatriotic, and immoral generation in American history.” His portrayal of Confederate soldiers dates back to the Civil War, when white Southerners claimed their army was a Christian army, while the Union was composed of atheists, socialists and immigrants, despite the fact that many Christians fought for the Union and pushed for the abolition of slavery. That narrative particularly took hold after the Civil War, as the “Lost Cause” — the myth that the war was not about slavery, but was instead about preserving the Southern way of life as Southern Democrats maintained a commitment to white supremacy — spread across the country. Its influence could be found in the monuments and statues dedicated to the Confederacy, which were even erected in states like Missouri — a slave state that never left the Union, but whose people served in the armies of both the Union and Confederacy. Kansas City had its own battle over Confederate statues in 2020, as city leaders tried to remove monuments that could be associated with racism. But there is still a monument to Confederate soldiers at Forest Hill & Calvary Cemetery, looming over a historically Black neighborhood, even though Missouri remained in the Union through the war. W. Fitzhugh Brundage, a professor at the University of North Carolina who studies the Civil War and American South, said the Lost Cause still holds an appeal for a wide swath of Americans, particularly people who are skeptical of a strong federal government. He said it can be seen as one of the final moments before the federal government took on more significant power, allowing the Confederacy to be portrayed as a road that wasn’t taken. Brundage said Lee became such a potent figure in the Southern mythology because there was a large public record of his faith in letters to friends and family, because he expressed uncertainty about slavery in some letters and because he was the subject of a biography that portrayed him as a saint-like figure. But Brundage noted that Lee also fought for the states attempting to preserve the institution of slavery and expressed racism in many of his letters. “In the current environment, removing a statue of Robert E. Lee then becomes a signifier of an attack on Christian evangelical tradition, an attack on people who are in favor of limited government, an attack on anyone who doesn’t embrace the notion of reconciliation and compensation,” Brundage said. “So that that’s why I think it remains a potent symbol.” Sharing Christian nationalism Crocker began working on Hawley’s campaign in May, according to campaign finance records. That means he was on the campaign’s payroll when Hawley gave a speech embracing Christian nationalism at the National Conservatism Conference in July. “The Left’s primary purpose is to attack our spiritual unity, our common loves. They want to destroy the affections that link us one to another and substitute a set of altogether different ideals,” Hawley said in the speech. “The Left preaches its own gospel, a creed of intersectionality, of deliverance from tradition, from family, from biological sex — and of course, from God. They regard the faith of our fathers as a fetter to be broken. They deem our common moral inheritance as cause for repentance.” Crocker made a similar argument in an essay about the importance of faith in The Catholic Thing in May 2024, arguing that the political left has sought to promote selfishness instead of working toward the common good. “Such liberalism has, of course, brought us the ‘Nones’ – the rising tide of young people who profess no religion because they accept no reference points outside themselves,” Crocker wrote. “To them, faith and reason, history and philosophy, tradition and gratitude, are all irrelevant. All that matters is ‘me.’” It’s unclear what role, if any, Crocker played in the crafting of the speech. Communications consultants are common in political campaigns — some write speeches, while others research and write white papers to help with policy proposals and others just shape the general message of a campaign. Hawley has long relied on the political consulting firm OnMessage for his campaigns, using it as a one-stop shop for things like fundraising, developing ads and building a larger political strategy. Former Hawley Chief of Staff Kyle Plotkin is currently a partner at OnMessage and was a key consultant for Hawley on the campaign. Plotkin did not respond to a voicemail asking about Crocker’s role in the campaign. But while there are instances where Crocker could have shaped Hawley’s message, there are clear instances where Crocker is more of an ideological hard-liner than Hawley. Both men oppose abortion, but Hawley has said he doesn’t support banning abortion in the case of rape or incest. Crocker has argued abortion should be illegal in all circumstances. He once compared abortion to child sacrifice, saying that modern society has become so fixated on self-identity that it’s willing to allow people to sacrifice children in order to preserve their sense of self. “Child sacrifice is hardly a new thing. Sacrificing children to idols is typical of pagan societies. Today’s idolatry of choice is making idols of ourselves,” he wrote. “Christianity abolished child sacrifice and the old idolatry. If we are to abolish child sacrifice again, we will need Christianity to triumph over the new idolatry.” The speech embracing Christian nationalism caused concern among some Kansas City pastors and politicians. Jones, the Baptist pastor in Kansas City, said he’s concerned that politicians could corrupt the Christian message, causing it to be bogged down by partisan politics. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, a Kansas City Democrat and Methodist pastor, said he has made a point in his political career to separate his own religious beliefs from his role as an elected official — saying he once signed a bill approving riverboat gambling in Kansas City even though the Methodist Church opposed it. “The power of religion is illimitable,” Cleaver said. “And if a person believes what he or she is doing is God ordained, there are very few things they would not do. You can do a lot of bad stuff in the name of God.” Did Crocker and Hawley connect? While Crocker has worked as a speechwriter, most of his career has been spent in publishing. Along with his own writing — Crocker has written comic novels about George Armstrong Custer and the histories of the Catholic Church, the American Military, the British Empire and the Confederacy — he worked as an editor at Regnery Publishing. Regnery is also Hawley’s publisher — a business relationship formed when Simon & Schuster canceled the publication of his book “The Tyranny of Big Tech,” citing Hawley’s role in the effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. It is unclear whether Crocker and Hawley crossed paths through Regnery. A spokesperson for Regnery said Crocker is no longer an editor there, though he is scheduled to publish “Don’t Tread on Me” a history of the American military, in January 2024. But while there’s a clear connection in the publishing world, the work Crocker did for Hawley’s campaign would likely not include work on Hawley’s book. Hawley is legally allowed to use campaign funds on a ghostwriter, said Joseph Birkenstock, a lawyer who practices political law. But once those campaign funds are used, he’s not allowed to make a personal profit off the book — any profits would have to go to the campaign. “If you’ve used campaign funds to create it, you can’t turn around and make personal use of it,” Birkenstock said. “The legal principle that this is up against is the idea that you can’t make personal use of campaign funds. You can’t pay rent on your house, you can’t buy yourself a car.” Hawley has already received up to $127,500 for the book after entering a royalty agreement in 2023, according to Senate Financial Disclosure forms. ©2024 The Kansas City Star.

McGrath RentCorp VP sells $111,915 in stockTrump asks US Supreme Court to delay TikTok banDear Santa Interview: Farrelly Brothers on Working With Jack Black & Post Malone By The Farrelly brothers are back with a new Christmas movie. The comedy legends behind hits like Dumb & Dumber and There’s Something About Mary teamed up for Dear Santa, which stars Jack Black . The film, directed by Bobby Farrelly (Peter Farrelly wrote the script with Ricky Blitt), is now streaming on Paramount+ and is available to own on digital. “When a young boy mails his Christmas wish list to Santa with one crucial spelling error, a devilish Jack Black arrives to wreak havoc on the holidays. From the hilarious minds behind Dumb & Dumber, Christmas is about to go up in flames,” says the synopsis. : Well, you’re absolutely right. Jack Black was the perfect guy for us. Because we wanted that. Obviously, the young kid writes a letter to Santa, but he misspells it, and it goes to Satan. So Satan, played by Jack Black, shows up at Christmastime, and comedy ensues. But we wanted to make sure that it didn’t get too dark. It didn’t become a horror movie or anything like that. We wanted to tell a nice Christmas story. So Jack Black is the perfect guy to play this because he does have that little bit of a devilish look to him and all that, but always in a way that you love him and go with him. He’s funny, and you trust him. : Not soon enough, because when Pete Jones and Kevin Barnett came in and pitched it to us 12 years ago, they said, “How about this for an idea? A kid’s writing a letter to Santa, but instead, he misspells, and it goes to Satan.” I was like, “We’ll do that movie. I love it.” I thought it was the easiest pitch ever. It was like Snakes on a Plane easy. But it wasn’t that easy because you really do have to balance it. There’s so much there. First of all, like Bobby said, you have Satan at Christmas. We wanted to do a family movie, but we wanted it to be PG-13. We didn’t want it to be PG because this isn’t for little kids. Just to be clear, it’s not for 4, 5, 6, or 7-year-olds. It’s 11-year-olds and up. But we also want it to be for adults. So, honestly, it took us 10 years to get it right. Not that we were working on it the whole time, we went off and did other things, but it was just in the last year or two that we figured it out. : Yeah, sometimes you have to step away. We tried some versions and it didn’t work. It was the wrong tone or something. But finally, Pete and Ricky Blitt, I think they got the script right. Once we got Jack on board, it just all felt really good. : Well, you’re right. We couldn’t have done better than Post Malone. He’s just red hot. He was red hot then, he keeps getting bigger and better this year. He went into country music, and the guy’s just really super talented. We were really lucky to get him, for him to give us three or four days of his time and come and perform and play himself and play beer pong with us and all those fun things. But we did it. And what a nice guy. Like an unbelievably decent, friendly, super polite guy. It was just really awesome. It was the highlight of the movie, I think, just those three or four days with him. : It actually made [Bobby] want to be a nicer guy. Seriously. : Yeah, and that’s never happened to me : No, I could definitely see us doing something again, but it is easier solo because... Like our TV show, Loudermilk, I would write the episodes and direct a couple, but then Bobby would come in and direct all the other episodes, and I’d be editing them as he’s directing them. It is sort of seamless. Literally when I’m editing, I can’t remember if I directed it or he directed it because I’m looking at it so much. I’m like, “Was I there that day? I can’t remember.” So it’s a good system, but I would love to. I hope we do direct [together again]. It’ll be fun. : It is fun. Yeah. But we get a lot more done if we split up a little. Divide and conquer. But at the right project, we’ll come back to work together again [as the Farrelly brothers]. Tyler Treese is ComingSoon and SuperHeroHype's Editor-in-Chief. An experienced entertainment journalist, his work can be seen at Sherdog, Fanbyte, Rock Paper Shotgun, and more. When not watching the latest movies, Treese enjoys mixed martial arts and playing with his Shiba Inu, Kota. Share article
