  • Aspiring to the Impracticable: Alternatives to Incarceration in the Era of Mass Incarceration
    (DO NOT DELETE) 5/19/2009 7:16:47 PM ASPIRING TO THE IMPRACTICABLE: ALTERNATIVES TO INCARCERATION IN THE ERA OF MASS INCARCERATION MARSHA WEISSMAN In 1976, a remarkable handbook for reducing the reliance on incarceration was produced by a group of ordinary citizens known as the Prison Research Education Action Project (PREAP). Instead of Prisons1 was written to call attention to the overuse of incarceration at a time when the United States prison population was about 250,000.2 The handbook recommended the development and use of alternatives-to-incarceration (ATI) programs as a means to “excarcerate,” defined by the authors as “[p]rograms or procedures that move away from the notion of imprisonment as a response to lawbreaking.”3 ATI programs were viewed as embedded within communities and as options that offered prospects for reconciliation and community empowerment, in addition to alternative ways to achieve accountability. PREAP’s analysis of crime and punishment, including both ATI and decarceration strategies, was set within the larger contexts of poverty, inequality, and racism. More than thirty years later, most jurisdictions around the country now offer ATI programs. Yet many present day ATI programs have been divorced from considerations of the socio-political and economic context of crime and punishment and stripped of the holistic framework explained in 1976. ATI programs have instead become part of a technocratic criminal justice system, characterized by punishment, increasing control over social Marsha Weissman, M.P.A. is the founder and Executive Director of the Center for Community Alternatives.

  • Racial Justice Through Class Solidarity Within Communities of Color
    The Community-Building Project: Racial Justice Through Class Solidarity Within Communities of Color Joseph Erasto Jaramillot INTRODUCTION As people of color continue to face racial and socioeconomic subordination in this country, one wonders when, if ever, the "elusive quest for racial justice"' will end. Intellectuals dedicated to the pursuit of racial justice have focused their work on unmasking the operation of racism and white privilege and recognizing the perspectives of the oppressed. One central insight of this approach is the need to take race into account when analyzing the application of supposedly "race neutral" but so often racially discriminatory criteria. This strategy provides a theoretical basis for transforming society's view of racism and race relations. However, until the dominant culture becomes genuinely receptive to these ideas, communities of color will continue to suffer.2 Indeed, current political discourse adds fuel Copyright 0 1996 by Joseph Jaramillo. t Joseph Erasto Jaramillo received his J.D. from the University of California, Berkeley School of Law (Boalt Hall), and his B.A. from the University of California at Davis. He is currently a staff attorney at the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF) in San Francisco. He completed this Comment before he joined MALDEF. He would like to thank Professor Jerome McCristal Culp, Jr., of Duke University School of Law for his insight, former La Raza Law Journal Co- Editor-in-Chief Robert Salinas for his assistance and support, and Susana Martinez and Robby Mockler for their helpful editing and feedback. This Comment is dedicated to the committed gente of La Raza Law Students Association at Boalt Hall and all other schools, who give true meaning to the word "community." 1.

  • University of Wyoming Laramie, Wyoming Waste Reduction
    University of Wyoming Laramie, Wyoming Waste Reduction SCHOOL The University of Wyoming is a public, four-year school with an enrollment of 13,000, located in Laramie, Wyoming. ABSTRACT The University of Wyoming (UW) has been recycling textbooks, both soft and hard cover, for more than 10 years. UW donates about 10,000 pounds of books to Better World Books each year for reuse, the books that are not donated are recycled with other paper recycling; an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 pounds of books are recycled each year (2 to 3 times the amount donated). More than half of the books collected are hard cover books (60% hard cover and 40% soft cover). GOALS AND OUTCOMES Accomplishments and Outcomes Bins are put out during book buyback times at the book buyback area of the bookstore. UW also collects books year round from students, faculty and staff in the regular recycling bins. As mentioned, UW works with Better World Books (BWB) (www.betterworldbooks.com) to donate books that are in good shape and valuable. BWB provides a scanner to plug into a computer and log on to their website; BWB also provide boxes to ship books. UW scans the ISBN numbers to see if they are wanted for donation, if so shipment is arranged and paid for by BWB (each shipment is a pallet or two- about 90 boxes). The books that are not donated (through BWB) are processed for recycling - a paper cutting machine is used to remove the spines and covers and the paper is recycled. The paper cutting machine is a Horizon PC-45 which has a 22” paper knife that works hydraulically/electrically.

  • There's No Doubt Arena Projects Are Challenging
    There’s no doubt arena projects are challenging; the sheer size and complexity of modern arenas guarantee that. The University of Wyoming Arena Auditorium renovation, however, posed more obstacles than most. From unknown conditions behind and below the 30+-year- old concrete walls, floor, and tread risers, to unforeseen weather circumstances, this project stands out from the crowd. Originally built in 1982, this NCAA Division 1 arena is home to the UW Cowboys and Cowgirls basketball teams. Despite the 200,000 SF area, the floor space was inadequate for an effective practice area (Photo 1). The University also wanted to enhance the customer experience for the incredibly loyal fans. Rather than build a new facility, the University chose to increase the playable floor space and upgrade the fan experience within the existing footprint. The unique renovation utilized mass demolition, soil nail retaining walls, and retractable seating system to nearly double the event floor adding two half-court practice venues for the UW basketball program. Key elements of the reconfiguration that escalate the fan experience include prime student seating closer to the floor; sightline sensitive seating design; additional, elevated media seats; additional ADA seating; and maximized sightlines to the two new 19’x45’ state-of-the-art video display boards. UW Athletics directed the renovation design which rotates the basketball court, expands the court level floor to accommodate greater practice functions, provides retractable seating in the lowest portion of the seating bowl, provides new seats in the lower bowl, and replaces the arena’s video and sound systems. The arena’s new lighting and audio visual system support the desired pre-game and performance displays that enrich the spectator’s experience of Wyoming basketball.

    CHICAN@ SOCIOGENICS, CHICAN@ LOGICS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHICAN@ PHILOSOPHY: RUPTURING THE BLACK-WHITE BINARY AND WESTERN ANTI-LATIN@ LOGIC A Dissertation by ANDREW CHRISTOPHER SOTO Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Tommy Curry Committee Members, Gregory Pappas Amir Jaima Marlon James Head of Department, Theodore George May 2018 Major Subject: Philosophy Copyright 2018 Andrew Christopher Soto ABSTRACT The aim of this project is to create a conceptual blueprint for a Chican@ philosophy. I argue that the creation of a Chican@ philosophy is paramount to liberating Chican@s from the imperial and colonial grip of the Western world and their placement in a Black-white racial binary paradigm. Advancing the philosophical and legal insight of Critical Race Theorists and LatCrit scholars Richard Delgado and Juan Perea, I show that Chican@s are physically, psychologically and institutionally threatened and forced by gring@s to assimilate and adopt a racist Western system of reason and logic that frames U.S. institutions within a Black-white racial binary where Chican@s are either analogized to Black suffering and their historical predicaments with gring@s or placed in a netherworld. In the netherworld, Chican@s are legally, politically and socially constructed as gring@s to uphold the Black-white binary and used as pawns to meet the interests of racist gring@s. Placing Richard Delgado and Juan Perea’s work in conversation with pioneering Chican@ intellectuals Octavio I. Romano-V, Nicolas C.

  • Lessons from Whitman College Paul Apostolidis
    © Journal of Higher Education Outreach and Engagement, Volume 17, Number 4, p. 203, (2013) Copyright © 2013 by the University of Georgia. All rights reserved. ISSN 1534-6104 Community-Based Research, Race, and the Public Work of Democracy: Lessons From Whitman College Paul Apostolidis Abstract This practice story tells of one professor’s discovery and con- duct of community-based research (CBR) at a leading liberal arts college. Originating through collaborations with an immi- grant meatpacking workers’ union, Whitman College’s program on The State of the State for Washington Latinos has earned national recognition since its founding in 2005. The program’s story speaks to the vital role CBR projects in the academy can play in addressing deeply rooted forms of racial injustice and cultural exclusion, from political under-representation to gaps in bilingual education. This narrative further highlights the impor- tance of durable community partnerships that allow mutual trust to grow and flourish; the challenges faculty members face when institutions provide sparse infrastructure for CBR pro- gram development; the transformative effects of these endeavors on students; and the unusual success of Whitman’s State of the State program in matching rigorous research with an ambitious agenda of public outreach to enhance regional democracy. Early Experiments: Community-based Research With Immigrant Workers hen I think about how I initially became involved with community-based research (CBR) as a faculty member at Whitman College, it occurs to me that the most Wpivotal conversations were with people outside the academy.(1) In those beginnings, I now see, were the sources of the unique direc- tion our CBR projects at Whitman eventually would take.
