Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study summarizes current overcrowding conditions in California county jails, examines trends in incarceration rates, and considers its potential effects on current and projected jail bed space. Five trends are examined: longer jail sentences, public disdain for criminals, continuing loss of state and federal funds, alternative sentencing experiments, and continuing taxpayer revolts. Five potential future events are forecast, and their relationship to the trends is examined. Based on the information obtained, three scenarios are constructed. One scenario suggests that county jails become consolidated statewide and that the jail officers transfer from one station to another throughout the state. A second scenario suggests that all county jail inmates be housed in a single facility in the desert, which would be run by private enterprise. The third scenario suggests a governmental rating system which would grade the success of local jail operations. Effective local jails would continue to operate under local control, but poorly operated jails would be run by a central state authority. This latter scenario is preferred among the three. The proposed action plan calls for police administrators to examine their organizations for 'excellence' and look to outside sources for funding.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper surveys new jail construction in California to ascertain the impact of the 'new generation' jail technology on the future of corrections. It describes the step-by-step construction of such a jail in San Francisco County, highlighting such features as individual rooms for inmates, smaller living units, direct supervision, and restricted movement within the facility. The history of jail construction also is reviewed, and construction trends in nine California counties are outlined. The effect of litigation and the role of local, State, and Federal courts on jail construction is explored, and the effects of political climate on the types of jails considered in expansion plans. Funding sources, construction costs, and alternatives to new construction also are discussed. An analysis of future trends suggests that the future of new generation jails in California is bright: by 1990 six will be operational. These numbers will continue to grow rapidly as their design elements prove to be safer for staff and inmates, cost effective for the county, and a boost to staff professionalism.

Download or read book What is the Future of Type I Jails as Revenue Centers in the Next Five to Ten Years written by James B. Strait and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research project looked at Type I jail revenue programs in small, medium, and large California police departments in order to identify jail revenue programs that are likely to be successful in the future. There are about 80 Type I jails in California, and such facilities generally function as units of city police departments that hold prisoners from the time of arrest until released. California has four types of jail revenue programs: fee-paying sentenced prisoners; Federal prisoner housing agreements; State contracts for constructing and operating city facilities to house parole violators; and agreements to hold pre-arraignment prisoners from other jurisdictions. In forecasting the future for Type I jail revenue programs, certain trends were identified: more prisoners at every level of the criminal justice system; less ability of jails to obtain money from taxes; more innovative ways of housing prisoners; jail regionalization; and growth of population and population density in California. Critical events that might impact Type I jail revenue programs were also identified, including the establishment of a regional jail authority, an initiative to prohibit early inmate release, the establishment of a Congressional jail committee, the enactment of a State fee-paying prisoner bill, and lack of staff such that most Type I jails are closed. A scenario is proposed in which police department executives and city management will find ways to offset a substantial portion of Type I jail budgets; budget offsets will result from letting jails themselves raise money and not from more tax dollars. Further, emerging technologies may provide substantial revenue possibilities, such as electronic house arrest and regionalization (jail operation to serve multiple jurisdictions).

Download or read book Contemporary Corrections written by Rick Ruddell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-04 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary Corrections: A Critical Thinking Approach introduces readers to the essential elements of the US corrections system without drowning students in a sea of nonessential information. Unbiased and accessible, the text includes coverage of the history of corrections, alternatives to incarceration, probation/parole, race/ethnicity/gender issues in corrections, re-entry into the community, and more. The authors' unparalleled practical approach, reinforced by contemporary examples, illuminates the role corrections plays in our society. The authors have reinvigorated earlier work with additional content on international comparative data to increase our understanding of how prison officials in other nations have developed different types of responses to the problems that challenge every US correctional administrator, a new chapter on correctional personnel, and an integration of race and ethnicity issues throughout the book. Unrivaled in scope, this book offers undergraduates a concise but comprehensive introduction to corrections with textual materials and assignments designed to encourage students’ critical thinking skills.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Menace to the Future, Jess Whatcott traces the link between US disability institutions and early twentieth-century eugenicist ideology, demonstrating how the legacy of those ideas continues to shape incarceration and detention today. Whatcott focuses on California, examining records from state institutions and reform organizations, newspapers, and state hospital museum exhibits. They reveal that state confinement, coercive treatment, care neglect, and forced sterilization were done out of the belief that the perceived unfitness of disabled, mad, and neurodivergent people was hereditary and thus posed a biological threat—a so-called menace to the future. Whatcott uncovers a history of disabled resistance to these institutions that predates disability rights movements, builds a genealogy of resistance, and tells a history of eugenics from below. Theorizing how what they call “carceral eugenics” informed state treatment of disabled, mad, and neurodivergent people a century ago, Whatcott shows not only how that same logic still exists in secure treatment facilities, state prisons, and immigration detention centers, but also why it must continue to be resisted.
