Elton, Robb. "The Absentee Formal Education in Prison Guard Hiring Traditions: Extrapolating Pareto Distance to Inform Personnel Optimality for Corrections Agencies." Journal of Management and Strategy 13, no. 1 (May 10, 2022): 39. http://dx.doi.org/10.5430/jms.v13n1p39.
Full textAbstract:
The educated corrections officer/guard is sufficiently schooled in the relevant social science area and possesses sufficient theoretical knowledge such that the quality of work, purpose, and goals of incarceration could be met. Thus, the desire to bring professionalism into the field of corrections has been recognized for many decades, particularly after the Attica tragedy of 1971. However, in pursuit of adequate staffing levels many factors (geography, for example) diminish the ability of prisons and correctional facilities to obtain formally educated employees. This mixed-methods research aimed to first identify prison policies through random selection of state corrections agencies in the United States (n=20) that may allow certain years of service as a substitute for a bachelor’s degree in social sciences at hire. Secondly, there was a need to define how to calculate Pareto Distance (PD) as an indicator of incongruous education standards as to prison guards, and third, substantiate recommendations for benchmark employment to at least 1-in-5 guards with a baccalaureate. Unfortunately, the results were compelling. The majority of states permit teenagers to apply to work as prison guards. The incarceration rate is closely tied to the education level throughout the state. The Pareto Distance, however, represents a prospective benchmark for optimality where insufficient numbers of educated personnel are available to effectively operate a prison.

Full textAbstract:
Canadian Brett Story's most recent film, The Prison in Twelve Landscapes (2016), explores the American prison system, as well as the traditional sense of “landscape,” in an unusual way: except for the film's final shot, a drive-by of Attica State Prison nestled in the countryside of west-central New York State, we see no prisoners and no prison buildings—and few spaces we could call landscapes. Story's panoramic film reveals the multitude of ways in which the prison system is hidden in plain sight throughout the United States. In Scott MacDonald's interview with Story, the filmmaker explains the film's unusual approach and structure—as well as the struggle involved in getting the film made. Story's modest budget is the ultimate irony of The Prison in Twelve Landscapes, given the fact that the American prison system is the world's most extensive, and no doubt most expensive, system of incarceration on the planet.

Full textAbstract:
Serious mental illness (SMI) represents a major risk for repeated incarceration, yet recidivism studies often do not specifically focus on persons with SMI as compared to non-SMI offenders. The study reported here systematically identified Utah State prisoners released from 1998 to 2002 ( N = 9,245) who meet criteria for SMI and compared SMI and non-SMI offenders on length of time to prison return. Findings indicate that 23% of the sample met criteria for SMI ( n = 2,112). Moreover, survival analyses demonstrated a significant difference in return rates and community tenure for offenders with SMI compared to non-SMI offenders when controlling for demographics, condition of release, offense type, and condition of return (parole violation vs. new commitment). The median time for all SMI offenders to return to prison was 385 days versus 743 days for all non-SMI offenders, 358 days sooner ( p < .001). Implications of these findings are discussed.

Approaching factors of multiple orders and touching the national Penitentiary and Prison System is to seek to understand the roots and constraints of the formal and legal structure assumed by penal establishments that, today, are recognized as an “Unconstitutional State of Things” due to decision, in 2020, in the Argument of Non-compliance with Fundamental Precept n. 347 at the Honorable Court of the Federative Republic of Brazil. First of all, here we have bibliographical research (supported by literature of political and legal classics, eg, Immanuel Kant, Norberto Bobbio), documental ( vg Constitutions of 1824 and 1988, angular and underlyingly supported) and jurisprudential (Arguição de Descumprimento of Fundamental Precept - ADPF n. 347 sustained in a jusphilosophical construct), with a qualitative and interdisciplinary focus, on the recognition of the "Unconstitutional State of Things" to fall on the Prison System in Brazil with a view to critically and reflexively understanding the prison environment and the vectors that affirm the “state of affairs”.

Full textAbstract:
New York State's prison population has the highest seroprevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) among incarcerated populations in the United States. Five percent of the State prison inmate population is female. To date there have been few studies of incarcerated females in New York State (NYS). Seroprevalence rates have ranged from 18.9% to as high as 29%. In 1991, counselors from the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) AIDS Institute's Criminal Justice Initiative, in collaboration with the State's Department of Correctional Services (NYSDOCS), began to offer educational services and anonymous pretest counseling, HIV antibody testing, and posttest counseling to NYS female prisoners. With preliminary program testing data (N = 216) descriptive and multivariate techniques are used to evaluate the demographic and risk-related behaviors associated with HIV infection among female inmates in this voluntary HIV testing program. Results are discussed in light of previous research findings regarding the correlates of HIV seropositivity among New York State prison inmates and compared to previous blinded epidemiological studies of female inmates in the State. Future research, addressing the limitations of this preliminary study, is proposed.

Full textAbstract:
The United States has one of the largest incarcerated populations per capita. Prisons are dangerous environments, with high in-prison and postrelease mortality. The Death in Custody Reporting Acts (DCRAs) of 2000 and 2013 require deaths of people in correctional custody or caused by law enforcement to be reported to the Bureau of Justice Assistance. These deaths must be reported within 3 months of the death and include 10 required fields (eg, age, cause of death). There is no public reporting requirement. Our Third City Mortality project tracks near-real-time data about individual deaths released publicly and prison system metadata, including data completeness and release speed, across (N = 54) US state, federal (N = 2; Bureau of Prisons, Immigration and Customs Enforcement), Washington, District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico prison systems. Twenty-one (38%) systems release no individual death data; 13 systems release incomplete data slower than 1 year; 19 release timely, but incomplete, death data; and only one system (Iowa) releases complete and timely data. Incomplete, untimely, public prison mortality data limit protective community responses and epidemiology.

Full textAbstract:
A quasi-experimental study examined multiple postrelease outcomes up to 2 years for inmates who participated in therapeutic community (TC) drug treatment programs ( n = 217) or comparison groups ( n = 491) at five state prisons. Statistical controls included level of need for treatment, current and prior criminal history, and postrelease employment. Prison TC was effective even without mandatory community aftercare, although main effects and interactions varied somewhat across different outcome measures and sites. TC significantly reduced rearrest and reincarceration rates but not drug relapse rates. Postrelease employment predicted drug relapse and reincarceration, and employment interacted with age to predict rearrest. Two sites had higher drug relapse rates than the other three. Implications for research and policy are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: the prison system in the Brazilian state of Acre, located in the Western region of the Amazon, is a branch of the criminal justice system that has been suffering from issues such as overcrowding and growth in internal organized crime. The prevalence of these matters directly affects the resocialization of prisoners and inhibits the successful re-engineering of their social values and beliefs. Objective: to analyze the epidemiological profile of jailed women in the State of Acre, Brazil. Methods: in a cross-sectional descriptive study, 129 participants were recruited from female penitentiaries in the state of Acre. Conducted between August and December of 2017, data was collected through a validated questionnaire, divided into modules, using both open and closed-ended items. Results: we found that most women who participated in the study were single (n = 86, 66.7%), had brown skin (n = 93, 72.1%), had children (n=102, 79.1%), resided in the state of Acre (n=117, 90.5%). The mean age of the sample was 27.69 years. Among those participants who reported having partners (n = 40, 31%), we found that half had partners who were also incarcerated (n = 20, 50%). The study results also indicate that drug trafficking (n = 86, 66.7%) was the major cause for female incarceration, followed by homicide crime (n = 16, 12.4%). Over half of the participants were in prison for the first time (n = 75, 58.1%), with a high recidivism rate observed in the total sample (n = 54, 41.9%). A majority of the participants (n = 97, 75.2%) kept in touch with members of their families and a smaller portion (n = 15, 11.6%) received conjugal visits. With regard to social activities, slightly more than half (n = 75, 58.1%) worked and the majority (n = 114, 88.4%) did not study while jailed. Conclusion: the difficulties associated with accessing inmate data and the lack of peer-reviewed studies on inmate health in Brazil suggests that the public policies recommended by the PNSSP and the National Policy for Comprehensive Health Care for Women should be reevaluated.

Full textAbstract:
The article uses new archival materials, supplemented by a critical analysis of existing printed sources, to analyze Dostoevsky’s 12-day stay in the Tobolsk transit prison on January 9–20, 1850. The authors focus on the meeting of the Decembrists’ wives (N. D. Fonvizina, P. E. Annenkova, etc.) with the Petrashevites in the apartment of the caretaker of the Tobolsk prison castle. According to archival sources, a number of documents that state the name of the prison warden (Ivan Gavrilovich Korepanov) have been published, and his biographical information is provided according to the form list, supplemented by the testimonies of memoirists. In the light of the new data, a number of important clarifications were made to the narrative of the meeting in the apartment of I. G. Korepanov. V. N. Zakharov observed that there is no mention of the transfer of the Gospels to the Petrashevites in the detailed description of this scene, presented in the letter by N. D. Fonvizina. The authors further develop this observation, providing biographical information about the gendarme captain Alexander Smalkov (Smolkov), who performed this mission on behalf of N. D. Fonvizina, by handing Dostoevsky and his comrades copies of the New Testament, and showing how to extract the money glued inside it from the binding and how to hide it again. They cite observations that confirm the assumption that Smalkov assisted N. D. Fonvizina and M. D. Frantseva to negotiate with gendarmes Korolenko and Nasonov. The latter two accompanied Dostoevsky and Durov to Omsk, and arranged for them to meet with the Petrashevites on the winter road, 8 versts from Tobolsk, and to send a letter to I. V. ZhdanPushkin asking for help for the exiles upon their arrival in the Omsk prison.

Full textAbstract:
Following the Attica prison uprising in September 1971, Celes Tisdale—a poet and then professor at Buffalo State College—began leading poetry workshops with those incarcerated at Attica. Tisdale’s workshop created a space of radical Black creativity and solidarity, in which poets who lived through the uprising were able to turn their experiences into poetry. The poems written by Tisdale’s students were published as Betcha Ain’t: Poems from Attica in 1974. When the Smoke Cleared contains the entirety of Betcha Ain’t, Tisdale’s own poems and journal entries from the three years he taught at Attica, a previously unpublished collection of poems by Attica poets, and a critical introduction by poet Mark Nowak. In addition to the poetry, Tisdale’s journal entries give readers a unique opportunity to experience what it was like to enter Attica as an educator and return week after week to discuss poetry. When the Smoke Cleared showcases these poets’ achievements, their desire for self-determination, and their historical role as storytellers of Black life in a prison monitored exclusively by white guards and administrators.

Abstract In 1929, the nation’s first major wave of prison riots hit the prisons of New York State. At Clinton prison, 1,600 inmates rioted, 3 of whom died in the recapture of the institution. At Auburn prison, inmates threw acid in a guard’s face and took the keys to the prison arsenal. Before the riot was quelled, six shops were burned, four inmates had escaped, and an assistant warden was killed. In response to these incidents, the state resolved to build the “ultimate prison,” escape-proof and riot-proof. The world’s most expensive prison to date opened in 1931 in the town of Attica, 275 miles northwest of New York City-as far away as Portland, Maine, or Fredericksburg, Virginia. It was billed as a “paradise for convicts. “

Full textAbstract:
This chapter tells the story of Bill vanden Heuvel's work with the New York City prison system. Following riots in the Tombs detention center and a rash of suicides in late 1970, Mayor John Lindsay asked vanden Heuvel to serve as Chair of the Board of Correction, a post he held for three years. During that time, he made numerous proposals to improve conditions in the New York City prison system, developing novel approaches to health care, education, training and living conditions. His legal training gave him an eye for spotting inequities in bail and sentencing procedures, and he worked closely with advocates both inside and outside the prisons to create a system that could be remedial as well as punitive. The chapter includes his speech at a service of concern after deadly riots broke out at Attica State Prison in September 1971. His ideas for improving media coverage of the prisons are presented in his article "The Press and the Prisons," first published in June 1972.

Full textAbstract:
The Black Liberation Army (BLA) first made itself known to the public after May 21, 1971, when members of the group assassinated New York City police officers Waverly Jones and Joseph Piagentini. This chapter shows how this killing and a wave of subsequent BLA attacks ratcheted up tensions between President Nixon and J. Edgar Hoover, who unofficially instructed FBI special agents to utilize illegal surveillance tactics to investigate the group in conjunction with its massive investigation, code-named NEWKILL. Fortunately for Nixon and Hoover, the FBI gained important leads in its BLA investigation when the guerrillas made critical tactical mistakes. However, while Nixon and the FBI sought to halt BLA violence, they did nothing to address the underlying problems of police and military violence. By maintaining impunity for guards’ killing of incarcerated Black radical George Jackson in San Quentin Prison and the New York State Police massacre of twenty-nine prisoners and ten correctional officers in Attica State Prison, Nixon and Hoover helped motivate further guerrilla retaliation.

In Correctional Facilities and Correctional Treatment - International Perspectives [Working Title]. IntechOpen, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.106588.
Full textAbstract:
Despite the common adage that prison facilities often carry a unique mark of the “warden’s world,” few studies have compared characteristics among individual facilities over time. This study utilizes two waves of prison surveys (N = 525) that produce markers of perceived prison climate at the facility level; contributions fill three voids in correctional literature: facility-level comparison of prison climate; interactions of institutional characteristics; and predictors of change over time. Research is conducted within three facilities in one U.S. Midwest state, utilizing social climate instruments (primarily EssenCES) established internationally. Three main findings result: First, facilities-as-place share commonalities but also exert distinguishable and independent effects on perceived livability. Second, the study confirms several metrics that exert influence on livability, including staff support, inmate support, and inmate threat. Third, statistical models capture climate change over time and identify significant predictors, including measures of support, threat, and “assurance” (sense of belonging and purpose). Four regression models consistently capture meaningful change during a particularly volatile state-wide environment, with each facility responding somewhat differently. The authors suggest that measures of prison climate over time may indicate a conceptual tensile strength, or potential breaking point, in institutional stability.

Full textAbstract:
This paper addresses the right of access to education for convicted prisoners in closed, semi-open and open regimes, at the 13 prison units of the Penitentiary System of Porto Velho, state of Rondônia. It points to the act of reading in prison as a condition for the intern's re-socialization and remission of the sentence. It is understood that access to reading, in prison, leads a prisoner to view freedom as a category of education; we try to present freedom from the pedagogical perspective of Paulo Freire. Education is seen here as a multilateral right that allows people deprived of liberty to develop a critical sense, acquiring the dignity of a human person and awareness to participate in social life freely, with tolerance and respect for life and the social rules. It critically analyzes the edition of Resolution n° 9/2011 by Resolution n° 6/2017, which deals with the Penal Architecture Guidelines, removing the requirement of an educational module in prisons' construction, in order to increase the number of cells in penitentiary establishments, with the argument of the lack of vacancies and the feasibility of new vacancies. The methodological approach is qualitative and quantitative, with bibliographic and documentary procedure, granting access to reading in the units analyzed through the Remission through Reading Project (Projeto Remição pela Leitura - PRL), currently in force; and how the policy of encouraging educational practices is applied, with professional guidance, construction of classrooms and occupation of physical spaces in those units. From the results, it was concluded that the PRL has not yet fully met its objectives, consequently undermining the right to read for the remission of sentence.
