Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Actual State of Prison Reform Throughout the Civilized World: A Discourse Pronounced at the Opening of the International Prison, Congress of Stockholm, August 20, 1878 Russia is, evidently, waking up to the importance of preventive and reformatory institutions for the young. The first agricultural penitentiary colony for juvenile delinquents, under fourteen years of age, was organized in 1870, near St. Petersburg, by a voluntary society; but the government furnished the site, and grants an annual subsidy. Since that date, there have been organized seven or eight similar colonies, in different provinces of the empire, for the most part without aid from the government. In gene ral, these institutions find much sympathy and support from the public; but. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The State of Prisons and of Child-Saving Institutions: In the Civilized World The present work is the result of eighteen years of close study and wide observation. It - is a vast repository of facts, relating to a vital interest of society, which in our day belongs more to the domain of statesmanship than to that of philanthropy. What chiefly concerns the reader is to be assured that the record is trustworthy, - that what claim to be facts are such in reality. In order to this assurance he must be satisfied as to the character of the sources from which the record is made up. The guarantees of trustworthiness offered by the author are these: - 1. Much the larger portion of the facts contained in this volume is drawn from official communications personally addressed to him by the various Governments of the world. 2. Another considerable part has been furnished by printed reports stamped with the official seal. 3. A large amount of information has been communicated by experts, specialists, and functionaries of various name and grade, in a correspondence extending to every region of the globe, and running through a long series of years. 4. The author has been materially aided in his work by not a few of the diplomatic and consular officers of the United States, who, through the courtesy of the State Department both under Secretary Fish and Secretary Evarts, have supplied him with numerous interesting details relating to the penitentiary systems and administrations of the several countries to which they have been accredited. 5. The information so obtained has been verified, corrected, or supplemented, as the case might be, by the personal observations of the author in nearly all the more important prisons and States of Europe and America, as well as through personal converse with numerous officials conspicuously connected with the administration of penal justice and prison discipline in the same countries.

Download or read book Golden Gulag written by Ruth Wilson Gilmore and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2007-01-08 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1980, the number of people in U.S. prisons has increased more than 450%. Despite a crime rate that has been falling steadily for decades, California has led the way in this explosion, with what a state analyst called "the biggest prison building project in the history of the world." Golden Gulag provides the first detailed explanation for that buildup by looking at how political and economic forces, ranging from global to local, conjoined to produce the prison boom. In an informed and impassioned account, Ruth Wilson Gilmore examines this issue through statewide, rural, and urban perspectives to explain how the expansion developed from surpluses of finance capital, labor, land, and state capacity. Detailing crises that hit California’s economy with particular ferocity, she argues that defeats of radical struggles, weakening of labor, and shifting patterns of capital investment have been key conditions for prison growth. The results—a vast and expensive prison system, a huge number of incarcerated young people of color, and the increase in punitive justice such as the "three strikes" law—pose profound and troubling questions for the future of California, the United States, and the world. Golden Gulag provides a rich context for this complex dilemma, and at the same time challenges many cherished assumptions about who benefits and who suffers from the state’s commitment to prison expansion.

This book was released on 2014-12-31 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After decades of stability from the 1920s to the early 1970s, the rate of imprisonment in the United States has increased fivefold during the last four decades. The U.S. penal population of 2.2 million adults is by far the largest in the world. Just under one-quarter of the world's prisoners are held in American prisons. The U.S. rate of incarceration, with nearly 1 out of every 100 adults in prison or jail, is 5 to 10 times higher than the rates in Western Europe and other democracies. The U.S. prison population is largely drawn from the most disadvantaged part of the nation's population: mostly men under age 40, disproportionately minority, and poorly educated. Prisoners often carry additional deficits of drug and alcohol addictions, mental and physical illnesses, and lack of work preparation or experience. The growth of incarceration in the United States during four decades has prompted numerous critiques and a growing body of scientific knowledge about what prompted the rise and what its consequences have been for the people imprisoned, their families and communities, and for U.S. society. The Growth of Incarceration in the United States examines research and analysis of the dramatic rise of incarceration rates and its affects. This study makes the case that the United States has gone far past the point where the numbers of people in prison can be justified by social benefits and has reached a level where these high rates of incarceration themselves constitute a source of injustice and social harm. The Growth of Incarceration in the United States examines policy changes that created an increasingly punitive political climate and offers specific policy advice in sentencing policy, prison policy, and social policy. The report also identifies important research questions that must be answered to provide a firmer basis for policy. This report is a call for change in the way society views criminals, punishment, and prison. This landmark study assesses the evidence and its implications for public policy to inform an extensive and thoughtful public debate about and reconsideration of policies.
