Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Prison System The quality of mercy is an absent factor insofar as its application to penal conditions is concerned. There exists a singular, relentless attitude on the part of the law toward the offender that curbs all hope of regeneration ere it is born, breeding a defiant, stubborn nature that results in no good.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Reform Our Prison System A pithy aphorism of Carlyle occurs to me as singularly appropriate for the first class I have referred to. Many a man thinks that it is goodness which keeps him from crime, when it is only his full stomach. On half allowance he would be as ugly and knavish as anybody. Don't mistake potatoes for principles. Ruskin must have had the third class in view when he wrote: The plea of ignorance will never take away our responsibilities. It is written, If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not He that pondereth the heart consider it? And He that keepeth thy soul, doth not He know it As regards the second class, the self-complacent Englishman, the only way to rouse him is, I think, to shock him by flinging cold, hard facts at him.

Download or read book Classics and Prison Education in the US written by Emilio Capettini and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-17 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on teaching Classics in carceral contexts in the US and offers an overview of the range of incarcerated adults, their circumstances, and the ways in which they are approaching and reinterpreting Greek and Roman texts. Classics and Prison Education in the US examines how different incarcerated adults – male, female, or gender non-conforming; young or old; serving long sentences or about to be released – are reading and discussing Classical texts, and what this may entail. Moreover, it provides a sophisticated examination of the best pedagogical practices for teaching in a prison setting and for preparing returning citizens, as well as a considered discussion of the possible dangers of engaging in such teaching – whether because of the potential complicity with the carceral state, or because of the historical position of Classics in elitist education. This edited volume will be a resource for those interested in Classics pedagogy, as well as the role that Classics can play in different areas of society and education, and the impact it can have.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wall Shadows a Study in American Prisons On the other hand, there are a few books by genuine men of science which are accurate and valuable; although these are less con cerned, usually, with the details of prisons than with the psychology of the men before they are confined. But such a volume as William Healy's The Individual Delinquent is of permanent value. For the general student the best books are these few, like Donald Lowrie's M y Life in Prison, Al Jenning's Through the Shadows with 0.

Download or read book Prison Systems of the United States written by S. J. Barrows and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prison Systems of the United States: Reports Prepared for the International Prison Commission There are four different systems of dealing with sentenced pris oners in the United States: The separate system, the congregate (frs quently known as the Auburn) system, the reformatory system, and the convict-lease system. The separate system in the United States is represented by a single institution - the Eastern Penitentiary, of Philadelphia. An exposition and defense of the principle on which this prison is conducted is given in the article on the Pennsylvania institutions by Mr. Isaac J. Wistar. The late Michael J. Cassidy, for many years warden of that prison, was an ardent advocate of the separate system. For some years the number of commitments to that penitentiary has been much in excess of its capacity, resulting in a doubling of the inmates in many of the cells, which is in direct violation of the principle of separate confinement and individual treatment. The warden and managers have been powerless to resist this overcrowding. They have endeavored to put together those prisoners who are recidivists, or who would, in their judgment, be least affected deleteriously by living and sleeping together in the same cell. Contrary to popular notions and to misconceptions in regard to this prison, the health rate is excellent. From an economic standpoint it is one of the most suc cessful of American prisons.

Download or read book The Development of American Prisons and Prison Customs 1776 1845 with Special Reference to Early Institutions in the State of New York Classic Reprint written by Orlando Faulkland Lewis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of American Prisons and Prison Customs, 1776-1845 With Special Reference to Early Institutions in the State of New York Dr. Orlando F. Lewis, the author of this book, spent some five years in gathering material for it. He died before it was completed, and, therefore, was unable to make a final revision of the manu script, or to complete one or two of the chapters, which unfortu nately are left in an unfinished state. The book represents an earn est scholarly effort on the part of a man unusually well qualified to prepare such a history. For some twelve years before his untimely death, Dr. Lewis was the General Secretary of the Prison Association of New York. He brought to the discharge of his duties in that position exceptional qualifications, the product of unusual training. After graduation at Tufts College in 1895, he taught in that institution for about two years, earning the degree of Master of Arts. For three years afterwards, he pursued his studies abroad at the University of Munich and at the Sorbonne, in Paris, thus qualifying for the degree of Ph. D., which was conferred upon him by the University of Pennsylvania in 1900. For the next five years, he was Professor of Modern Languages at the University of Maine. In 1905, he accepted appointment with the Charity Organization Society in the City of New York, and in that position he was brought into direct contact with the varied problems of delinquency and offenders against the law and the manifold variety of organized eleemosynary and benevolent effort in the metropolitan region of New York. In that field, he acquired an experience which peculiarly fitted him for the service of the Prison Association, by which he was chosen General Secretary in 1910. His services in that capacity were characterized by rare address, great devotion, intelligent and sympathetic effort. Under his direction, the Asso ciation during that period fully maintained its traditions of helpful service to the cause for which it exists, and its present high position in that field in no small measure is due to Dr. Lewis' character and labors. The Association feels that this volume will constitute the best lasting memorial to Dr. Lewis' life and work. He was cut off in the prime of his life, and when his capacity for intelligent labor was very high. Some comprehension of his labors in the field of penology may be derived from a reading of the ensuing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Vindication of the Separate System of Prison Discipline: From the Misrepresentations of the North American Review, July, 1839 The long-pending controversy respecting the comparative merits of the Auburn (or silent) and the Pennsylvania (or separate) systems of prison discipline, is reduced by the July number of the North American Review to very narrow limits; and, as the writer is evidently the friend and advocate of the former, we may suppose that the claim which he asserts in its behalf is presented in the most favourable aspect, and with all the advantages of the latest and fullest experience. He gives us, in the first place, a schedule of the points on which the friends of either system agree: "That the great object of any penitentiary discipline should be the reformation of the prisoner. "That in labouring for his reformation, we should appeal to his self-interest and to his conscience. "That we should endeavour to give him such habits as will remove him as far as possible from temptation, and enable him most successfully to resist it when it shall happen to overtake it. "That the treatment of the prisoner should be kind, but strict. "That being placed in solitude for a sufficient portion of the time, and at all times precluded from social intercourse with those who would corrupt him, conscience may be left to exert its full power over the mind of the criminal. "That he should be instructed in his duty to God and man by a competent religious teacher. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book American Prison written by Shane Bauer and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-06-11 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
