Book Description
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.

Book Description
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.

Death before Sentencing

ISBN: 1538162288
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 331
Book Description
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.
