Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Culture of Urban Control: Jail Overcrowding in the Crime Control Era explores and analyzes the growth and expansion of the United States’ largest single-site urban jail system. Through an analysis of a United States Federal Court initiated consent decree this research provides a narrative of criminal justice policy, politics and legal maneuvering between the years of 1993 and 2003 associated with overcrowding within the Cook County Jail. As a result of increased policing presence and subsequent arrests during the crime control era of the 1990’s, the Cook County Department of Corrections experienced a continually overcrowded correctional facility resulting in pre-trial and post-convicted inmates sleeping on floors in overcrowded and dilapidated facilities. Beginning in the early 1990’s and under the supervision of the federal court, Chicago and Cook County, Illinois undertook the largest expansion of local level incarceration and correctional control in their history. The disputing process between local, state and federal level claims-makers within the legal arena and through media representations are analyzed in conjunction with infrastructure growth, changing correctional populations, community level expansion of correctional programming and the social reality of the inmate experience. How local level corrections and federal interdiction were shaped by local level politics and criminal justice systems are examined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study analyzes the organizational and individual level interaction of an ongoing federal consent decree related to jail overcrowding within Cook County, Illinois. Using frame analysis grounded in social constructionist theory, research questions examining the dominant, emergent, and residual themes posited by claims-makers involved in the dispute are examined. Applying qualitative content analysis methods, primary source documents produced by claims-makers and local newspaper articles related to the dispute are analyzed between 1993 and 2003. The interactions between disputants are applied to incarceration ideologies, a loosely coupled criminal justice system, local criminal justice net-widening, and the social reality of an urban jail.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cook County Jail Survey: Made on Request of the Board of County Commissioners For many years there has been agitation for a new jail in Cook County. The present new jail, built in 1895, was scarcely completed before it was condemned. By 1910, both the Old and the new jails, operated as one unit, had become as crowded as the Old one had been alone before the new one was built to relieve the overcrowding, and the International Prison Congress, meeting here in that year, with representatives of wide reputation from many countries, condemned the whole structure as one Of the worst jails to be found anywhere. Since 1914, four different proposals for bond issues for a new jail have been submitted to the voters. Each proposal has been defeated - for the reason principally, it is believed, that in connection with these various proposals no definite plans were presented. There was a wide-spread feeling that a new deal was needed - that it would be useless waste of money and Of human material to go on indefinitely under the Old pol icy Oi building ever larger jails, to be promptly filled up as soon as the new space was available. Upon the failure of the fourth bond-issue-proposal in the Spring Of 1921, the demand for a careful survey Of the situation became insistent, and when the Site Committee, appointed to recommend a suit able site for a new jail, brought to the County Commissioners, in January, 1922, a recommendation that the Chicago Com munity Trust be first asked to make a survey, the County Commissioners promptly and unanimously accepted it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While state and federal prisons like Attica and Alcatraz occupy a central place in the national consciousness, most incarceration in the United States occurs within the walls of local jails. In This Is My Jail, Melanie D. Newport situates the late twentieth-century escalation of mass incarceration in a longer history of racialized, politically repressive jailing. Centering the political actions of people until now overlooked—jailed people, wardens, corrections officers, sheriffs, and the countless community members who battled over the functions and impact of jails—Newport shows how local, grassroots contestation shaped the rise of the carceral state. As ground zero for struggles over criminal justice reform, particularly in the latter half of the twentieth century, jails in Chicago and Cook County were models for jailers and advocates across the nation who aimed to redefine jails as institutions of benevolent transformation. From a slave sale on the jail steps to new jail buildings to electronic monitoring, from therapy to job training, these efforts further criminalized jailed people and diminished their capacity to organize for their civil rights. With prisoners as famous as Al Capone, Dick Gregory, and Harold Washington, and a place in culture ranging from Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle to B. B. King’s Live in Cook County Jail, This Is My Jail places jails at the heart of twentieth-century urban life and politics. As a sweeping history of urban incarceration, This Is My Jail shows that jails are critical sites of urban inequality that sustain the racist actions of the police and judges and exacerbate the harms wrought by housing discrimination, segregated schools, and inaccessible health care. Structured by liberal anti-Blackness and legacies of violence, today’s jails reflect longstanding local commitments to the unfreedom of poor people of color.

Silver Medal from the Independent Publisher Book Awards (Current Events/Social Issues category). Americans are slowly waking up to the dire effects of racial profiling, police brutality, and mass incarceration, especially in disadvantaged neighborhoods and communities of color. The criminal courts are the crucial gateway between police action on the street and the processing of primarily black and Latino defendants into jails and prisons. And yet the courts, often portrayed as sacred, impartial institutions, have remained shrouded in secrecy, with the majority of Americans kept in the dark about how they function internally. Crook County bursts open the courthouse doors and enters the hallways, courtrooms, judges' chambers, and attorneys' offices to reveal a world of punishment determined by race, not offense. Nicole Gonzalez Van Cleve spent ten years working in and investigating the largest criminal courthouse in the country, Chicago–Cook County, and based on over 1,000 hours of observation, she takes readers inside our so-called halls of justice to witness the types of everyday racial abuses that fester within the courts, often in plain sight. We watch white courtroom professionals classify and deliberate on the fates of mostly black and Latino defendants while racial abuse and due process violations are encouraged and even seen as justified. Judges fall asleep on the bench. Prosecutors hang out like frat boys in the judges' chambers while the fates of defendants hang in the balance. Public defenders make choices about which defendants they will try to "save" and which they will sacrifice. Sheriff's officers cruelly mock and abuse defendants' family members. Delve deeper into Crook County with related media and instructor resources at www.sup.org/crookcountyresources. Crook County's powerful and at times devastating narratives reveal startling truths about a legal culture steeped in racial abuse. Defendants find themselves thrust into a pernicious legal world where courtroom actors live and breathe racism while simultaneously committing themselves to a colorblind ideal. Gonzalez Van Cleve urges all citizens to take a closer look at the way we do justice in America and to hold our arbiters of justice accountable to the highest standards of equality.
