BI BLI OGRAPHY 3 ABSTRACT This bibliography was compiled in support of a study of correc- tional institutional libraries funded by the U.S. Office of Education, Bureau of Libraries and Learning Resources. Findings of the study appear in preceding volumes of this report: Volume I. Findings and Recommendations, Volume II. Access to Legal Reference Materials in Correctional Institutions, Volume III. Current Practices in Correctional Library Services: State Profiles. The bibliography is designed to be a research aid for librarians, correctional administrators, attorneys, and stuPents concerned with library and information problems in correctional institutions. I.INTRODUCTION This bibliography was compiled as part of a study of correctional library services by the Institute of Library Research of the Univer- sity of California at Berkeley under a grant from the U.S. Office of Education, Bureau of Libraries and Learning Resources. A final report of the study, Findings and Recommendations, appears as Volume I. of this publication. Volume II discusses legal reference materials and Volume III provided brief state by state descriptions of current practice in the provision of library services to the inmates of adult and juvenile institutions under state administration. Although the scope of the I.L.R. Study was limited to adult and juvenile correctional institutions under Federal and State administration, the bibliography encompasses library services in all correctional institutions, including those at county and municipal level. Fields of study covered in the bibliographic search included criminology, sociology, education, law, and librarianship. Sources were University of California holdings, Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) Clearinghouse of Library and Information Sciences, National Council on Crime and Delinquency Information Center and documents accumulated by the Institute during the course of the study. Sustained literature support for the project was derived from ERIC publications. A current awareness search was provided through the Center for Information Services at the University of California at Los Angeles (CIS at UCLA). Several of the citations retrieved had not previously been seen and contributed greatly to the study. Documents available through ERIC are cited with ED numbers and may be ordered from ERIC Document Reproduction Service, LEASCO Information Products, Inc., P.O.Drawer 0, Bethesda, Maryland. The assistance cf the ERIC Clearinghouse on Library and Information Science, which provided bibliographic support in the form of copies of its input, is also gratefully acknowledged. Because comprehensive bibliographies on ct ectional library services for publications prior to 1970 have already been compiled, the emphasis in this listing is upon documents published within the last five years. Prison Libraries: Bibliographyby David M. Gillespie is available through ERIC and provides excellentcoverage for pertinent documents published prior to 1970. The readings were chosen with the intent of providing librarians with ideas and information for implementing library services in correctional facilities. Correctional administrators and educators will also find much in the way of worthwhile examples of library service to jails and prisons and information on the development of such service in the United States during the past decade. The bibliography was compiled in support of recommendati.ms and points of view expressed in the study report; therefore, documents have been included which do not touch directly upon library services, but discuss such related issues as the use of ex-felons asa man- 1 power source for correctional institutions, the use of community-based services, and the expanding rights of confined persons. An earlier product of the bibliographic search done in this study was the publication, A Summary of Court Decisions Relating to the Provision of Library Services in a Correctional Institution., by Marjorie LeDonne; this is now available through the Association of Hospital and Institution Libraries, 50 Huron Street, Chicago, Illinois. 2 II.

    Survivors Speak Prisoner Testimonies of Torture in United States Prisons and Jails A Shadow Report Submitted for the November 2014 Review of the United States by the Committee Against Torture I. Reporting organization The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) is a Quaker faith based organization that promotes lasting peace with justice, as a practical expression of faith in action. AFSC’s interest in prison reform is strongly influenced by Quaker (Religious Society of Friends) activism addressing prison conditions as informed by the imprisonment of Friends for their beliefs and actions in the 17th and 18th centuries. For over three decades AFSC has spoken out on behalf of prisoners, whose voices are all too frequently silenced. We have received thousands of calls and letters of testimony of an increasingly disturbing nature from prisoners and their families about conditions in prison that fail to honor the Light in each of us. Drawing on continuing spiritual insights and working with people of many backgrounds, we nurture the seeds of change and respect for human life that transform social relations and systems. AFSC works to end mass incarceration, improve conditions for people who are in prison, stop prison privatization, and promote a reconciliation and healing approach to criminal justice issues.

  • Institutionalizing the Pennsylvania System: Organizational Exceptionalism, Administrative Support, and Eastern State Penitentiary, 1829–1875
    Institutionalizing the Pennsylvania System: Organizational Exceptionalism, Administrative Support, and Eastern State Penitentiary, 1829–1875 By Ashley Theresa Rubin A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Malcolm Feeley, Chair Professor Cybelle Fox Professor Calvin Morrill Professor Jonathan Simon Spring 2013 Copyright c 2013 Ashley Theresa Rubin All rights reserved Abstract Institutionalizing the Pennsylvania System: Organizational Exceptionalism, Administrative Support, and Eastern State Penitentiary, 1829–1875 by Ashley Theresa Rubin Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy University of California, Berkeley Professor Malcolm Feeley, Chair I examine the puzzling case of Eastern State Penitentiary and its long-term retention of a unique mode of confinement between 1829 and 1875. Most prisons built in the nineteenth cen- tury followed the “Auburn System” of congregate confinement in which inmates worked daily in factory-like settings and retreated at night to solitary confinement. By contrast, Eastern State Penitentiary (f. 1829, Philadelphia) followed the “Pennsylvania System” of separate confinement in which each inmate was confined to his own cell for the duration of his sentence, engaging in workshop-style labor and receiving religious ministries, education, and visits from selected person- nel. Between 1829 and the 1860s, Eastern faced strong pressures to conform to field-wide norms and adopt the Auburn System. As the progenitor of the Pennsylvania System, Eastern became the target of a debate raging over the appropriate model of “prison discipline.” Supporters of the Auburn System (penal reformers and other prisons’ administrators) propagated calumnious myths, arguing that the Pennsylvania System was cruel and inhumane, dangerous to inmates’ physical and mental health, too expensive, and simply impractical and ineffective.

    Testimonies of Torture in New Jersey Prisons EVIDENCE OF HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS A collection of testimonies from prisoners in New Jersey prisons, documenting uses of physical, chemical, and no-touch torture, among other human rights abuses. American Friends Service Committee Northeast Region Healing Justice Program Edited by: Bonnie Kerness Director, Prison Watch Program 89 Market Street, 6th floor Newark, NJ 07102 (973) 643-3192 Editorial Assistant Jessica Gonzalez Intern, Prison Watch Program Torture in New Jersey Prisons ǀ Evidence of Human Rights Violations February 2015 INTRODUCTION The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) is a Quaker faith based organization that promotes lasting peace with justice, as a practical expression of faith in action. AFSC’s interest in prison reform is strongly influenced by Quaker (Religious Society of Friends) activism addressing prison conditions as informed by the imprisonment of Friends for their beliefs and actions in the 17th and 18th centuries. AFSC has spoken out on behalf of prisoners whose voices are all too frequently silenced. Drawing on continuing spiritual insights and working with people of many backgrounds, we nurture the seeds of change and respect for human life that transform social relations and systems. For over two decades, the Prison Watch Program of the American Friends Service Committee, located in Newark, NJ, has been collecting testimonies in the form of letters from prisoners across the United States. These letters document various human rights abuses in US prisons, including, but not limited to, physical, chemical, and no-touch torture at the local, state and federal levels. It is clear that the concepts of international human rights law need to find their way into the US law enforcement, judicial and prison systems.

A-1 Executive Summary Criminal street gangs have long been recognized as a threat, not just to society at large, but to the safety, security and integrity of the prison system. Over the years, New Jersey’s Department of Corrections (DOC) has taken steps aimed at managing and containing that threat as it impinges upon the 14 prison institutions for which the agency is responsible statewide. Among other things, DOC established a process to identify gang members entering the system and serving time. It maintains a program designed to fracture gang hierarchies by isolating known gang “core members” from the general prison population and targeting them for special rehabilitative attention. It monitors inmate telephone calls, examines their mail and regularly searches for and confiscates contraband. Custody officers, moreover, receive a measure of gang-awareness training, and internal investigations are conducted to gather intelligence on, and to curtail, suspected gang activity.
