Abstract:
This study involved a mixed method evaluation of interpersonal violence and institutional misconduct in the Los Angeles county jail system. Interviews with 52 correctional staff uncovered a widely shared belief that AB 109, Prop 47, and the Rosas decision had all contributed to an increase in violence and misconduct in the jail. Analysis of administrative records indicated there was a rise in the monthly rates of these adverse outcomes from 2010 to 2017. Intervention ARIMA models, however, revealed evidence of a statistically significant increase following only the passage of Prop 47. An examination of inmate characteristics across the 8-year observation period confirmed staff suspicions that jail incarcerates with more extensive criminal histories were being confined following the passage of these policies. If jails are to be responsible for confining higher risk inmates, provisions should also be made to increase the availability of evidence-based rehabilitative programming and other treatment services that can help combat the occurrence of these adverse outcomes.

Abstract:
Objectives: To describe the demographic, legal, and clinical characteristics of a cross-section of incarcerated homeless individuals with the highest utilization of Los Angeles (LA) County public services in order to increase opportunities for focused jail diversion.Methods: The “5% list” (N=5,905 in Febru­ary 2018), LA County’s list of homeless individuals with the highest 5% utilization of public services, was cross-matched with the total jail population to obtain a sample of 333 homeless high-utilizing individuals. This sample was compared with the overall jail population (N=17,121) from publicly avail­able aggregate data by Chi-square testing.Results: 84% of the high-utilizing sample were male, 38% Black, 37% Hispanic, 21% White. 67% were prescribed psychiatric medication. Compared with the overall jail population, the sample was significantly older, with a greater proportion of Black and White persons, and a lesser propor­tion of Hispanic individuals relative to the overall jail population. A significantly greater proportion of high-utilizing individuals faced misdemeanor charges.Conclusions: These data highlight the compounding effects of homelessness, race, and mental illness on carceral and social vulnerability. Findings suggest homeless high utilizers in jail with mental illness are likely to benefit from court-based diversion efforts aimed at housing and treatment.

Abstract:
Despite the widespread popularity of mindfulness as a wellness intervention strategy across educational levels, its proponents are susceptible to countering the intended area of improvement. This article recounts the cumulative reflections of an educator and his attempts to implement mindfulness into high school classes at the Los Angeles County Jail. Beginning with a layout of the physical and social settings, the article examines the ways that unconsciously practicing mindfulness will counter and potentially negate the possible benefits of mindful practice.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to use secondary data from qualitative interviews that examined the sexual behaviors, HIV attitudes, and condom use of 17 gay, bisexual, and transgender women housed in a protective custody unit in the Los Angeles County Jail (Harawa et al., 2010), to develop a better understanding of the consensual sexual behaviors of male prisoners. Design/methodology/approach Study eligibility included: report anal or oral sex with another male in the prior six months; speak and understand English; and incarcerated in the unit for at least two weeks. Data analysis consisted of an inductive, qualitative approach. Findings Findings illuminate participants’ experiences concerning how the correctional facility shaped their sexual choices and behaviors, and the HIV-risk reduction strategies they employed. Originality/value This study contributes to the prison-sex literature, and is timely, given current federal and local HIV/AIDS priorities. Recommendations that address male prisoners’ sexual and health needs and risks are posed.

Abstract:
California courts increasingly order community service for those convicted of nonviolent and minor misdemeanors or infractions, assigning unpaid work to be performed. While court-ordered community service has been used as an alternative to incarceration and the payment of fines, little is known about the monetary and personal costs for those completing it. A case study design is used to examine court-ordered community service performed in Southeast Los Angeles. Data were gathered from a quantitative dataset of 541 court files of those assigned to community service and 32 in-depth interviews with attorneys and court-ordered community service workers. While the quantitative data and Attorney interviews found that negative outcomes of community service can drive community service workers deeper into debt and result in new warrants that place defendants at risk for rearrest, individuals that completed community service appreciated the opportunity to pay off their criminal justice debts and stay out of jail.

Abstract:
The recognition that women are not in a fixed position but are dynamic and active in any of the processes of migration and post-migration adjustment helps us to see the complexity of women's participation in migration. Using life history interviews, three Sri-Lankan womens' migration experiences are examined for the ways in which personal networks were utilized in various phases of the migration process and how social and human capital was transformed in the post-migration adjustment process. Though in some instances the data did not fully support Boyd's (1989) predictions of the ways in which personal networks affect migration, overall, both Boyd's and Kopijn's (1998) statements that social capital is transmitted and transformed in the migration process are supported. The analysis indicates that all three women were successful in their post migration adjustment in that they were able to retain a strong sense of identity while adopting new practices in the United States.<br>Graduation date: 2004

Abstract:
This chapter presents the historical transformation of the Los Angeles County jail system in order to explain why medicine has becomes a useful tool for jailers. Jails were successfully pressured into providing expanded healthcare by various legal agencies at the exact same time that they faced unprecedent budget constraint. In response, jails began thinking of their inmates less as violent gang members and more as mentally ill, substance abusers, and less threatening homeless persons. Doing so allowed them to draw in funding from other agencies and to release thousands of inmates. In total this resulted in the mere circulation of inmates between general housing and medicalized space as the key solution to the jail’s fiscal retrenchment and legal demands.

Abstract:
Chapter 7 looks at the special housing unit for gay and transgender prisoners in the Los Angeles County Jail. This unit houses a small population, and many of the residents know each other from interacting on the street. In addition, because of an unusual and controversial admissions process, prisoners in this unit are far more likely to share more similar social identities. This chapter shows that as a result of all three factors, decentralized governance mechanisms are highly effective in this housing unit. Prisoners have not relied on the more extensive, centralized institutions that men in the general population housing units rely on. Instead, they use gossip and ostracism to encourage good behavior from other prisoners.
