JAIL BEFORE JUDGMENT
No full textThis project presents a complete scholarly manuscript titled JAIL BEFORE JUDGMENT: HOW NON-BAILABLE CASES LEAD TO JAIL AND COST HUMAN RIGHTS.
The book examines pre-trial detention in non-bailable offences as a structural practice that results in punishment before conviction. Integrating psychological analysis, constitutional principles, and human rights frameworks, the work demonstrates how routine pre-trial incarceration produces severe mental harm, dignity erosion, family disintegration, and social stigma despite the absence of judicial determination of guilt.
From a legal and constitutional perspective, the manuscript analyses how non-bailable classifications and routine remand practices enable executive influence over liberty, weakening the presumption of innocence and shifting punishment from adjudication to procedure. The book highlights how detention in jail environments functions psychologically and socially as punishment, blurring the distinction between accusation and conviction.
The work further explores the psychological impact of pre-trial detention on accused persons and their families, including acute stress reactions, trauma-related symptoms, long-term mental health consequences, and secondary victimization of spouses and children. Particular attention is given to the collective social harm caused by detention, including reputational damage, economic collapse, and erosion of family dignity.
The manuscript does not challenge the rule of law, judicial authority, or constitutional order. It does not promote disobedience, resistance, or unlawful activity. All discussions are theoretical, analytical, and research-oriented, grounded in psychology, constitutional theory, and international human rights standards.
The book proposes proportionate, rights-compliant alternatives to jail-based pre-trial detention, including regulated police custody, house arrest, and court-attached remand facilities, and calls for reform of criminal procedure to realign justice systems with constitutional morality and human dignity.

Delayed reward information is underweighted in reinforcement learning with dispersed feedback
No full textLearning is fundamental to adaptive behavior. In the typical learning task, each action is associated with only one outcome, which could be immediate or delayed. However, actions often have multiple consequences that unfold over time. Here, we used behavioral and eye-tracking experiments to study how people learn when their choices yield both immediate and delayed reward information. Importantly, the rewards themselves were all delivered at the end of the study so there was no reason to weight immediate and delayed reward information differently. Instead, we found that our subjects overweighted immediate reward information. Moreover, this bias increased over the course of the experiment and was still present when learning from others’ choices. The gaze data reveal mixed evidence that subjects looked more at immediate vs. delayed feedback, and across subjects, the relative dwell proportion did not predict the behavioral bias. Our results indicate that people prioritize not just immediate rewards, but immediate reward information. Unlike temporal discounting, this form of impatience is a clear mistake and leads to objectively worse outcomes
Lot 26 “Forest Locker” on Oak Island: Evidence of a French Logistical Storage Hub
No full textLot 26 on Oak Island, Nova Scotia, contains features consistent with controlled storage areas integrated into a forested environment. This study evaluates the physical evidence, spatial context, and functional design of what is here termed the “Forest Locker.” The placement and construction suggest the site operated as a logistical hub for storing timber, tools, and materials in a secure, organized manner. The findings support interpretation of Lot 26 as part of a broader, coordinated operational system rather than an isolated or incidental feature
