Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Passing of the County Jail: Individualization of Misdemeanants Through, an Unified Correctional System When I became Secretary of the State Board of Charities and Corrections in December 1913, I felt that the great need, so far as corrections were concerned, was for a fund of information to back the penal farm movement. So I personally visited the county jails as soon as possible, accumulating information as to just how the army of petty offenders was faring in California. The meeting of the National Conference in the spring of 1914, a visit to the Kansas City Municipal Farm and discussions in the Commonwealth Club of San Francisco were very helpful in formulating the problem through the suggestions and criticisms offered. In the 1914 report of the Board I presented a tabular statement of county jail conditions with com ments and arguments. With this as ammunition, the passage of another state farm bill was urged in the Legislature of 1915. Again inadequate publicity and inexperienced lobbying ended in failure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Passing of the County Jail: Individualization of Misdemeanants Through, an Unified Correctional System When the California State Board of Charities and Corrections was established by the Legislature of 1903, the interest of prison reformers was centered in the penitentiaries. This was true not only of California but of the entire United States. From the days of John Howard and the rise of penitentiaries, debates between advocates of the Auburn and the Pennsylvania systems quite obscured the evils of the county jail. Yet here and there were found people interested in petty offenders, and in 1869 Rhode Island established a State Workhouse which "was to save men and women from imprisonment in jails and prisons, which has proved expensive and worse than useless to all concerned." But for most people the state prison with imposing buildings, large inmate population and sometimes sensational evils, appeared to be more worthy of study and philanthropic effort. When public attention turned to the needs of misdemeanants, it was restricted for the most part to the problem of sanitary jails. The first ten years of the California State Board of Charities and Corrections was a period typified by the building of "Paully" jails. The first biennial report read: "We are now at the commencement of an era of jail building in this State. We are passing into the second stage of our history... Before the end of the decade most, if not all, of our old jails will give way to modern structures." As a matter of fact, of the fifty-eight counties in California, sixteen did erect new jails, and five more remodelled their old structures. But even in 1904 the board conceived the need of more fundamental changes, and on the same page with the statement of the jail-building program it said: "We believe the time is not far distant when all persons convicted of violation of State laws will be considered and treated as state prisoners and confined at labor in state institutions." Following discussions along this line in the national Conference of Charities and Corrections and in the American Prison Association, a bill was introduced into the 1911 Legislature to establish two state farms for misdemeanants. Being a first effort and lacking support, it failed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Prison and Social Death written by Joshua M. Price and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2015-07 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States imprisons more of its citizens than any other nation in the world. To be sentenced to prison is to face systematic violence, humiliation, and, perhaps worst of all, separation from family and community. It is, to borrow Orlando Patterson’s term for the utter isolation of slavery, to suffer “social death.” In Prison and Social Death, Joshua Price exposes the unexamined cost that prisoners pay while incarcerated and after release, drawing upon hundreds of often harrowing interviews conducted with people in prison, parolees, and their families. Price argues that the prison separates prisoners from desperately needed communities of support from parents, spouses, and children. Moreover, this isolation of people in prison renders them highly vulnerable to other forms of violence, including sexual violence. Price stresses that the violence they face goes beyond physical abuse by prison guards and it involves institutionalized forms of mistreatment, ranging from abysmally poor health care to routine practices that are arguably abusive, such as pat-downs, cavity searches, and the shackling of pregnant women. And social death does not end with prison. The condition is permanent, following people after they are released from prison. Finding housing, employment, receiving social welfare benefits, and regaining voting rights are all hindered by various legal and other hurdles. The mechanisms of social death, Price shows, are also informal and cultural. Ex-prisoners face numerous forms of distrust and are permanently stigmatized by other citizens around them. A compelling blend of solidarity, civil rights activism, and social research, Prison and Social Death offers a unique look at the American prison and the excessive and unnecessary damage it inflicts on prisoners and parolees.
Download or read book Death before Sentencing written by Andrew R. Klein and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-07-15 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How have jails become the deadliest waiting rooms in America? Death before Sentencing provides a sweeping exposé of thousands of avoidable deaths that have occurred in the U.S. county and local jail systems within the past few decades. These deaths have been overlooked, under-investigated, and even covered-up as jail systems avoid responsibility and refuse to take action. This is the most complete investigation of the deadly side of jails, describing the daily deaths of detainees, including those from suicides, untreated drug and alcohol withdrawal, forced restraint and brutality, and general medical malpractice provided by for-profit correctional medical providers. The lack of attention and responsibility paid by state and local officials, law enforcement, and medical examiners has facilitated these ongoing and increasing avoidable deaths. Looking forward to reforms being initiated by the U.S. Justice Department Civil Rights Division and within state legislatures and celebrating successful lawsuits, Andrew R. Klein lays out institutional reforms required to curtail the epidemic of the daily deaths in America’s jails.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautiful commemorative edition of Dr. Martin Luther King's essay "Letter from Birmingham Jail," part of Dr. King's archives published exclusively by HarperCollins. With an afterword by Reginald Dwayne Betts On April 16, 1923, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., responded to an open letter written and published by eight white clergyman admonishing the civil rights demonstrations happening in Birmingham, Alabama. Dr. King drafted his seminal response on scraps of paper smuggled into jail. King criticizes his detractors for caring more about order than justice, defends nonviolent protests, and argues for the moral responsibility to obey just laws while disobeying unjust ones. "Letter from Birmingham Jail" proclaims a message - confronting any injustice is an acceptable and righteous reason for civil disobedience. This beautifully designed edition presents Dr. King's speech in its entirety, paying tribute to this extraordinary leader and his immeasurable contribution, and inspiring a new generation of activists dedicated to carrying on the fight for justice and equality.

Book excerpt: "This work focuses on the stories of several individuals who died while in custody to illustrate the long history of policy and practice that at best provides toothless regulation (often unfunded, or without accountable parties), and at worst is officially dismissive of the human lives lost, deliberately making it harder to get to the truth. The authors also tell the stories of activists and journalists, who have often been the ones making the greatest effort to uncover the true scope of deaths in custody"--

Download or read book Prison City written by Ruth Massingill and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2007 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prison City looks beneath the placid surface of Huntsville, Texas, execution capital of the world, and sheds light on controversial issues usually hidden behind penitentiary walls. The authors draw on a multitude of voices from the community surrounding the prison - from inmates and guards to neighboring residents and local politicians - to reflect on questions of crime and punishment, vengeance, and forgiveness. We see how the sophisticated communication techniques employed by inmates, information officers, and community leaders shape opinions in the small towns where prisons are a principal industry. The poignant, evocative stories that run throughout the book highlight the incarcerated population's increasing influence in the political, cultural, and economic landscape in the United States. Most of all, Prison City offers opportunities to understand why the Texas justice system has become a global metaphor for incarceration and capital punishment.
Download or read book Directory of Federal Prisons written by Christopher Zoukis and published by . This book was released on 2019-10 with total page 764 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Directory of Federal Prisons is the most comprehensive guidebook to Federal Bureau of Prisons facilities on the market. Not simply a directory of information about each facility, this book delves into the shadowy world of American federal prisoners and their experiences at each prison, whether governmental or private.What sets the Directory of Federal Prisons apart from other prison guidebooks is the first-hand validation of information. Most prison directories provide basic information that is publicly available (e.g., security level, population number, location, etc.). This book is different.While basic data is included, hundreds of current federal inmates have been surveyed and interviewed in order to ascertain the culture of each institution. This enables the Directory of Federal Prisons to provide information such as the level of violence; whether sex offenders, informants, or LGBT inmates can walk the yard; the status of prison politics and organized gangs; and what prisoners believe is good and bad about each facility. This intelligence is much more important to understanding each prison and the experience therein than basic directory types of information.The Directory of Federal Prisons also includes a detailed discussion of the custody and classification system used by the Bureau of Prisons. This system determines how inmates are scored for security level and prison placement. Readers can use real Bureau of Prisons' case management forms to ascertain an actual security score, thereby taking the guesswork out of security levels, housing determinations, prison transfers, and how Public Safety Factors and Management Variables impact placement decisions. This is knowledge that only seasoned case managers tend to have.In each facility profile, you will learn: -Basic data such as the sex of the inmate population, security level, and medical and mental health care levels.-Physical location and inmate mailing address.-Educational, psychological, vocational, and recreation programs available.-Notable incidents reported by the media (e.g., arrests, riots, significant fights, escapes, etc.).-Reviews by inmates currently at each facility, including information about violence, prison politics, who can walk each yard, and more.-And much more!No one wants to spend time in a federal prison, but if you or a loved one must go, finding quality, reliable information about life on the inside is essential to a safe and productive stay. The Directory of Federal Prisons builds off the award-winning and bestselling Federal Prison Handbook's reputation as the leading federal prison survival guide. Not only will readers be able to understand all facets of prison life and how to remain safe, they will also be able to evaluate each federal prison and its offerings, know if it is safe to walk the yard, and better evaluate and understand transfer options so that they can make the right prison placement decisions the first time
