Book excerpt: In this study we are reminded that courts in the United States have increasingly undertaken the reform of public institutions, including schools, mental facilities, public housing, and prisons. Although such reforms are triggered by cases of individualcivil rights violations, they often result in major structural changes in the institutions through remedial decrees that reallocate budgetary resources. Prisons have received the special attention of federal judges. Early lawsuits began in the South and moved from Arkansas, Mississippi, and Alabama to encompass thirty-eight states. Broad and sweeping injunctions came from courts ordering changes in prison sanitation, food, temperature, fire control and ventilation. They have also changed security, discipline, racial discrimination, over-crowding, libraries, religious freedom and segregation. Unlike most conventional adjudication, reform litigation is far more complex, protracted and controversial. The present study illustrates that remedial decrees require extensive negotiation and active participation by the judge with the assistance of special masters, monitors and experts. These teams are often treated as hated federal adversaries by state officials. The struggle to fix liability, craft remedies and measure compliance is often done in the white heat of political wars, journalistic commentary, and political careers laid on the line. The long battles take on a life of their own, are seemingly interminable and are full of drama. Draconian measures often follow showdowns as when Judge Frank Johnson removed control of the Alabama prisons from the corrections system and placed them under direct receivership of the Governor. "PRISONS UNDER THE GAVEL: THE FEDERAL TAKEOVER OF GEORGIA PRISONS" by Bradley Stewart Chilton uses a detailed case study to explore the nature of court-induced prison reform. In 1972, a lawsuit by seven black inmates protesting living conditions at Georgia State prison became the basis of Guthrie v. Evans. Over the course of thirteen years, District Judge Anthony Alaimo ordered extensive changes in all aspects of the prison's operations. From a simple forma pauperis petition to a class action that found cruel and unusual punishment, Guthrie had impact far beyond Georgia borders in correctional practices and constitutional law. Professor Chilton seeks to answer four interesting questions in his study: (1) who were the key decision-makers in the Guthrie case and how did they perceive the case and underlying issues; (2) how did the budget for the Georgia State Prison change in the course of litigation and what were the important factors in that process; (3) what were the major remedies undertaken and how did settlement patterns change in the course of litigation; (4) finally, what rights undergirded the Guthrie litigation and what does this tell us about institutional reform litigation (p. 9). Two major sources supply the data for the study -- the extensive court records, legal communications, monitors' report and other archival materials supplemented by journalistic accounts from the period and secondly, focused interviews with a number of the primary participants in the case. The book is organized with half (chapters 2-5) of the study a chronological history of the Guthrie case. The second half (chapters 6-7) looks to answering the questions noted above by exploring perspectives of key decision-makers, budget policies, remedial decrees and the nature of prisoners' constitutional rights. The study concludes (chapter 8) with a critique of the institutionalization of prisoner rights and a comparison of the Guthrie case with other prison reform cases. Chilton organizes his chronology along the lines of Phillip Cooper's 1988 "internal dynamic case study" approach which focuses "on the perspectives (internal) of key decision-makers as they interact over time (dynamic) in the formulation and implementation of remedial decrees." Using Cooper's theoretical decree litigation model, Chilton divides his chronology into four phases: trigger, liability, remedy and post-decree. Although Cooper's model is a convenient organizing scheme for the presentation of the Guthrie history, it does not provide a strong theoretical basis for the study. Indeed, the study's greatest weakness is its paucity of theory. The narrative struggles in the first three chapters to get up to the tree line and through the complex tangle of legal underbrush. Frankly, the effort does not succeed. The author is an accomplished legal observer, knowledgeable of the issues of law, court terminology, jurisdiction, special monitors and court decrees. One also assumes he is a sensitive student of court politics, but his legal skills overcome his political analysis in the first half of the study. Unless one has a very keen interest in this case, the reader will find the case detail overwhelming and boring. In the second half of the study, a more enlightened and interesting analysis emerges. Thirty-six key decision-makers were identified in the Guthrie case and Professor Chilton conducted interviews with thirty-four of them. Although respondents are not identified, their comments are illuminating, helping us to understand the political and professional power struggles that make up Guthrie. The personal and antagonistic comments are intense and blunt and the case takes on vitality and meaning when the participants reflect upon the battleground. The author concludes with a useful analysis of the Guthrie case in the context of other prison litigation. He observes that this lawsuit, unlike many others, achieved desired change because the judge followed a strategy of hard-bargained consent with judicial pressure, but not judicial fiat. This work has many of the limitations of single case studies, but one feels certain that this young scholar has mastered this case and has presented an objective and comprehensive narrative for the record. With a growing body of judicial literature on remedial decrees, we will soon be in a position to develop more broadly based theory to guide future research.

Book excerpt: Georgias Corrupt Prison System is a critical analysis of the Peach States correctional system as well as the Prison Industrial Complex in the U.S. as a whole. The author, Martin Dandridge, chronicles his experiences in various locations and provides information from findings on issues about, but not limited to, racial bias in sentencing, death penalty, the growing number of women in prison, prisoner behavior, good ol boy shenanigans of prison officials, and the lucrative business of convict leasing by private companies. Martin not only identifies the problems related to the prison system, but he offers practical solutions. First-hand experiences of the author along with detailed research and statistics make it very clear that many of the issues facing Georgias prison system reflect those of the majority of other states across the country. This book is therefore a must read for anyone concerned with the penal system and justice in the United States.

Book excerpt: An enraging, necessary look at the private prison system, and a convincing clarion call for prison reform.” —NPR.org New York Times Book Review 10 Best Books of 2018 * One of President Barack Obama’s favorite books of 2018 * Winner of the 2019 J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize * Winner of the Helen Bernstein Book Award for Excellence in Journalism * Winner of the 2019 RFK Book and Journalism Award * A New York Times Notable Book A ground-breaking and brave inside reckoning with the nexus of prison and profit in America: in one Louisiana prison and over the course of our country's history. In 2014, Shane Bauer was hired for $9 an hour to work as an entry-level prison guard at a private prison in Winnfield, Louisiana. An award-winning investigative journalist, he used his real name; there was no meaningful background check. Four months later, his employment came to an abrupt end. But he had seen enough, and in short order he wrote an exposé about his experiences that won a National Magazine Award and became the most-read feature in the history of the magazine Mother Jones. Still, there was much more that he needed to say. In American Prison, Bauer weaves a much deeper reckoning with his experiences together with a thoroughly researched history of for-profit prisons in America from their origins in the decades before the Civil War. For, as he soon realized, we can't understand the cruelty of our current system and its place in the larger story of mass incarceration without understanding where it came from. Private prisons became entrenched in the South as part of a systemic effort to keep the African-American labor force in place in the aftermath of slavery, and the echoes of these shameful origins are with us still. The private prison system is deliberately unaccountable to public scrutiny. Private prisons are not incentivized to tend to the health of their inmates, or to feed them well, or to attract and retain a highly-trained prison staff. Though Bauer befriends some of his colleagues and sympathizes with their plight, the chronic dysfunction of their lives only adds to the prison's sense of chaos. To his horror, Bauer finds himself becoming crueler and more aggressive the longer he works in the prison, and he is far from alone. A blistering indictment of the private prison system, and the powerful forces that drive it, American Prison is a necessary human document about the true face of justice in America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Profit and Punishment, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist exposes the tragedy of modern-day debtors prisons, and how they destroy the lives of poor Americans swept up in a system designed to penalize the most impoverished. “Intimate, raw, and utterly scathing” — Heather Ann Thompson, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Blood in the Water “Crucial evidence that the justice system is broken and has to be fixed. Please read this book.” —James Patterson, #1 New York Times bestselling author As a columnist for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Tony Messenger has spent years in county and municipal courthouses documenting how poor Americans are convicted of minor crimes and then saddled with exorbitant fines and fees. If they are unable to pay, they are often sent to prison, where they are then charged a pay-to-stay bill, in a cycle that soon creates a mountain of debt that can take years to pay off. These insidious penalties are used to raise money for broken local and state budgets, often overseen by for-profit companies, and it is one of the central issues of the criminal justice reform movement. In the tradition of Evicted and The New Jim Crow, Messenger has written a call to arms, shining a light on a two-tiered system invisible to most Americans. He introduces readers to three single mothers caught up in this system: living in poverty in Missouri, Oklahoma, and South Carolina, whose lives are upended when minor offenses become monumental financial and personal catastrophes. As these women struggle to clear their debt and move on with their lives, readers meet the dogged civil rights advocates and lawmakers fighting by their side to create a more equitable and fair court of justice. In this remarkable feat of reporting, Tony Messenger exposes injustice that is agonizing and infuriating in its mundane cruelty, as he champions the rights and dignity of some of the most vulnerable Americans.
