Go Inside Prison: Century Correctional Institution
March 29, 2012
Beginning Sunday on NorthEscambia.com, we’ll take you inside Century Correctional Institution.
In our series, we’ll take you on a complete took inside the 40 acre world behind the razor wire, into the dorms to see how 1,400 prisoners live, into the medical unit and beyond with dozens of never before seen photographs. We’ll talk numbers and see how much it all costs, learn about life behind bars for prisoners and those that watch over them. And we’ll answer the age old question: Do they have air conditioning?
Don’t miss it Sunday morning as we being our special series “Inside Prison: Century Correctional Institution” on NorthEscambia.com.

Supreme Court Begins Hearings On Health Care Mandate
March 26, 2012
The U.S. Supreme Court will begin three days of landmark hearings in a Florida-led challenge to the 2010 federal health care law.
The first day will center on what is known as the “anti-injunction act,” which is designed to prevent legal challenges to taxes until they take effect. While this might sound like an obscure legal concept, justices need to determine whether it blocks them from ruling on the constitutionality of the “individual mandate” in the federal health law.
People who do not comply with the mandate to have health coverage in 2014 would be hit with financial penalties, which could be considered taxes.
If the anti-injunction act applies, that could prevent justices from ruling on the constitutionality of the mandate until after the penalties start taking effect.
