This book was released on 2019-09-30 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Case Study from the year 2017 in the subject Sociology - Law and Delinquency, , language: English, abstract: This study is intended to investigate determinants of operational plans implementation in Kenya Prisons Service in Nyeri County. The thematic focus is on prison population, rehabilitation, organization culture and organization resources. Towards achieving this, the study purposively targets a case of Nyeri Command in Nyeri County to form a basis for objective generalization. The county has four institutions: Regional office, Nyeri Main, Nyeri Medium and Nyeri Women Prisons that constitute a command in whose purview the target population of 582 members of staff is constituted. Sampling was conducted by proportional stratified sampling to generate ultimate respondents of 34 members of staff from the management and heads of sections whose views and opinions led to the study's generalizations. The relevant data was collected using questionnaires from 32 respondents representing 94.1% response rate out of the probable 34. Collected data was analyzed using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) to generate descriptive and inferential statistics. Determinants that influence operational implementation of strategic plans in Kenya Prisons Service at Nyeri Command were measured using linear and multiple regression analysis. The finding of the study indicates that inmates' population and resource availability had a positive and significant effect on implementation of operational plans in Kenya Prisons Service while rehabilitation programs and organizational culture had a positive but insignificant effect on the implementation of operational plans in Kenya Prisons Service. The researcher recommended that the government should come up with policies of addressing inmate population and mechanism of dealing with problems associated with increased level of inmates' population. In addition, Kenya Prisons Service should be fully facilitated by the government to offer various Rehabilitation programs ranging from vocation training, guidance and counseling, spiritual care and development among others, further the study recommends that government should allocate sufficient funding to the Kenya Prisons Service to enable them to be able to implement the operational plans effectively. The study suggested that future research could carry out a study focusing on the challenges that the Kenya Prisons Service encounters when implementing operational of strategic plans.

Download or read book Prison Worlds written by Didier Fassin and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-11-02 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prison is a recent invention, hardly more than two centuries old, yet it has become the universal system of punishment. How can we understand the place that the correctional system occupies in contemporary societies? What are the experiences of those who are incarcerated as well as those who work there? To answer these questions, Didier Fassin conducted a four-year-long study in a French short-stay prison, following inmates from their trial to their release. He shows how the widespread use of imprisonment has reinforced social and racial inequalities and how advances in civil rights clash with the rationales and practices used to maintain security and order. He also analyzes the concerns and compromises of the correctional staff, the hardships and resistance of the inmates, and the ways in which life on the inside intersects with life on the outside. In the end, the carceral condition appears to be irreducible to other forms of penalty both because of the chain of privations it entails and because of the experience of meaninglessness it comprises. Examined through ethnographic lenses, prison worlds are thus both a reflection of society and its mirror. At a time when many countries have begun to realize the impasse of mass incarceration and question the consequences of the punitive turn, this book will provide empirical and theoretical tools to reflect on the meaning of punishment in contemporary societies.
Download or read book Emerging Issues on Privatized Prisons written by James Austin and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report discusses the findings of a nationwide study on the use of private prisons in the United States. The number of these prisons grew enormously between 1987 and 1998, with proponents suggesting that allowing facilities to be operated by the private sector could result in cost reductions of 20%. The study examined the historical factors that gave rise to the higher incarceration rates, fueling the privatization movement, and the role played by the private sector in the prison system. It outlines the arguments, both in support of and opposition to, privatized prisons, reviews current literature on the subject, and examines issues that will have an impact on future privatizations. The report concludes that, rather than the projected 20-percent savings, the average saving from privatization was only about 1 percent, and most of that was achieved through lower labor costs. Nevertheless, there were indications that the mere prospect of privatization had a positive effect on prison administration, making it more responsive to reform.
