Context paragraphs:
Archie Wiles: Charles Archibald Wiles - A useful middle-order batsman whose first-class career spanned the years 1920 to 1936, Archie Wiles remains the second oldest Test debutant for West Indies.  He was 40 years and 345 days old when he appeared in the second Test of 1933 against England and is surpassed in age only by N. Betancourt who was 42 years, 242 days old on his own representative debut three years earlier.  Wiles was born in Brigetown, Barbados on August 11, 1892, and died in Diego Martin, Trinidad on November 4, 1957, aged 65.  In spite of some very good performances with the bat, he failed when the big occasion came at Old Trafford, scoring just 0 and 2.  Although born in Barbados, Wiles played his domestic cricket for Trinidad in the Caribbean’s annual Inter-Colonial tournament.  During his career, he surpassed fifty runs in an innings on eight occasions, twice going on to make a century; in February 1925 he scored 110 against British Guiana at Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and two years later he made his highest first-class score, 192, against Barbados at Bridgetown.  This particular game, a timeless match played over eight days, was remarkable insofar as despite Wiles’ first innings total, which included a fourth-wicket partnership of 146 with Joe Small, and in spite of Trinidad’s first innings lead of 384, Barbados won by 146 runs (Barbados 175 & 726, Trinidad 559 & 217).  Wiles’ death in 1957 went unrecorded at the time and therefore no obituary was written for him for the Wisden Almanack.

Joseph Volpe (opera manager): Joseph Volpe (born July 2, 1940) is an American opera manager and arts management consultant.

Prisoner support: Prisoner support encompasses a variety of activities aimed a providing assistance to prisoners, particularly political prisoners.  Many programs devoted to this purpose have quite limited resources; for instance, Nottingham Black Prisoner Support, with one staff worker, had 297 active cases in 1999.  Black Prisoner Support groups such as Partners of Prisoners have sought to establish productive working relationships with prison staff.  South Carolina's Alston Wilkes Society is the largest statewide prison support organization in the United States, with a budget of $918,000 and a staff of 50.  It operates two halfway houses, arbitrates prisoner grievances, maintains a youth home, helps ex-inmates find work, and provides social services to prisoners' families.  There are many special-interest prison support groups such as the Out of Control Lesbian Committee to Support Women in Prison.  Some political movements find it to be in their interests to provide prisoner supports; Break the Chains argues, "Any movement that does not support its political internees is a movement destined to fail.  When power is challenged, it inevitably turns to violent repression and imprisonment to maintain itself.  In order to avoid defeat, movements must become organized and capable of combating the repression of the state apparatus, and they must be able to support their comrades and allies in the event that they are arrested or imprisoned.  Few would commit themselves to a movement that would leave them behind prison walls, or a movement that is incapable of sustaining itself in the face of state intimidation."  Ratner writes that the prisoner support movement has been hampered by "particularly strong public antipathy toward offenders who would deny culpability by assigning blame to the 'system'.  This compromises the efforts of prisoner-support groups, who must rally public support in order to procure government funds.  Such groups face the dilemma of rapidly losing their own legitimacy should they draw too closely to the very offenders whom they seek to help — offenders who are not perceived by the public as victims of injustice.  Thus, many 'outside' groups are forced to shun the support of inmates who are in prison for violent offences, a serious ideological fracture of inside-outside alliances which limits the possibilities for prisoner politicization."
