Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In discussing the management of prison gangs and disruptive groups, the manual advises that the strategy should be to respond to the specific nature of the problem. Where gang activity is rare and a gang culture is not in place, the transfer of gang members out of State may be an effective preventive mechanism. Where gang membership is large, but is only a small proportion of the inmate population, effective control may be achieved by housing known gang members in separate facilities. Where gangs are already entrenched in the institutional culture, prisons must find strategies, such as gang intelligence programs and prosecutorial units, to lessen the impact of gang activities on the nongang inmate population and to reduce gang influence. In examining institutional disturbances, the manual addresses the causes of disturbances, stages in the development of a major disturbance, early warning systems, the management of institutional disturbances, specialized resources for institutional control, and a return to normalcy. A section on staff training discusses general legal considerations in training, the role of the training academy versus the role of the institution, training exercises, and training for special units. Other sections of the manual address post-disturbance activities, case studies, and legal aspects of the management of prison gangs and disturbances.

Download or read book Narratives from the 1971 Attica Prison Riot written by Richard Andrew Featherstone and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the Attica Prison uprising of 1971. Specifically, it compares and contrasts five published accounts which were authored by individuals personally involved in the tragedy. After providing a brief history of prison rioting in the United States and reviewing the context of the Attica incident itself, a content analysis of the Attica stories is provided. The analysis reveals four dominant themes : military metaphors, racial friction, the underdog, and attributing responsibility. All of the narrators use these themes in their narratives, but each storyteller manipulates these themes in unique and intentional ways. These disparities stem from the varying social and occupational positions in which each narrator resides. This study suggests that prison riots are largely the result of reciprocally corrosive interchanges between those who live and work within a prison facility. For a correctional facility to function appropriately all parties within the prison system must be able to understand, accept, and negotiate various roles. When role expectations and specific interactions between inmates, guards, and facility administrators become unbalanced, a prison disturbance becomes more likely. This book provides a basic framework for creating a new approach to institutional rioting, and suggests ways research in this area might be improved.

Download or read book Prisons in the United States written by Cyndi Banks and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-03-27 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offering perspectives from a range of experts, both academic and nonacademic, this reference book examines the development of prisons in the United States and addresses the principal contemporary issues and controversies of our prisons and prison systems. Prisons were initially created as a means of reforming offenders, but over time, the objective of rehabilitation gave way to a strategy of mass imprisonment—a system that has resulted in correctional facilities dealing with serious problems such as overcrowding, prison gangs, pervasive violence, and a significant incidence of mental illness among inmates. Prisons in the United States: A Reference Handbook examines the history of corrections in America, detailing how well-intentioned policies intended to "get tough on crime" sanctioned the dismantling of parole systems and resulted in laws that imposed mandatory minimum sentences. These changes contributed to the United States now having the biggest incarcerated population worldwide and the highest rate of incarceration. The book offers an accessible history of the development of the prison system in the United States and analyzes the various problems and controversies associated with prisons in the present day. The coverage includes key related issues, including those of race and gender, and enables readers to understand how past developments continue to affect public and official perceptions of the prison experience—for example, how the practice of keeping inmates in solitary confinement for lengthy periods has been reinvented and represents a return to a historically discredited practice. Accounts of former inmates and of correctional officers are integrated into the text, adding context and offering rarely heard perspectives on difficult issues affecting prisons.
