  • Violent Offender Incarceration and Truth-In-Sentencing Incentive Formula Grant Program
    U.S. Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance REPORT TO CONGRESS Violent Offender Incarceration and Truth-In-Sentencing Incentive Formula Grant Program February 2012 Submitted by: Table of Contents Introduction 1 Funding History 1 Eligibility Requirements 2 Appendixes A. Fiscal Years 1996–2001 VOI/TIS Funding 4 B. VOI/TIS Program Activities by State 6 Introduction Title II, Subtitle A of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (“Crime Act”) (Pub. L. 103-322), established the Violent Offender Incarceration and Truth-in-Sentencing (VOI/TIS) Incentive Grant Program. The program assisted states in their efforts to remove violent offenders from the community and encouraged states to implement TIS laws. Originally administered by the Office of Justice Programs’ (OJP) Corrections Program Office (CPO), the program was transferred to OJP’s Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) in November 2002 after an OJP-wide reorganization merged CPO with BJA. The VOI/TIS Program provided formula grants to states to build or expand correctional facilities and jails to increase secure confinement space for violent offenders. From fiscal years (FYs) 1996 to 2001, half of the funds were made available for VOI grants and half were available as incentive awards to states that implemented TIS laws. VOI/TIS grant funds allowed states to build or expand correctional facilities to increase bed capacity for the confinement of persons convicted of Part 1 violent crimes or adjudicated delinquents who had committed equivalent acts. Funds were also used to build or expand temporary or permanent correctional facilities, including facilities on military bases, prison barges, and boot camps; to confine convicted nonviolent offenders and criminal aliens; or to free suitable existing prison space for the confinement of persons convicted of Part 1 violent crimes.

  • 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.

  • Building Bridges to Success
    Building Bridges To Success Annual Report 2007-2008 A Program That Works For The Citizens Of Iowa Iowa Prison Industries A Division of The Department of Corrections 510 E 12th Street, Des Moines, IA 50319 800-670-4537 • www.iaprisonind.com 2008 Annual Conference March 14, 2008 • University of Iowa Message From The Director On behalf of the Advisory Board for Iowa Prison Industries and the staff of IPI, I am pleased to present our Annual Operating Report for Fiscal Year 2008. This report provides an overview of our organization and a summary of the Fiscal Year’s accomplishments, of which there are many. We have highlighted several significant events that will continue to help shape our future as we strive to expand our work opportunities for the offenders. IPI is uniquely structured and represents the true spirit of social entrepreneurship. Our success is measured against a “double bottom line.” We operate under a business model, meaning we are financially dependent upon our competitiveness and creative management skills to ensure that we are financially able to carry out the goals of providing work for offenders in vocations that allow them to return to the community as taxpayers at some future date. At the same time, we must give credit to our dedicated staff and offender population who have chosen to work at IPI. They are truly dedicated to the mission and causes for which we are obligated. As you review our accomplishments (of which there are many), we do hope that we have answered most of the questions in your mind about IPI.

  • Iowa State Penitentiary Established 1839 Randy Gibbs Warden FY 2019
    Iowa State Penitentiary Established 1839 Randy Gibbs Warden FY 2019 Fort Madison, IA A Message From the Warden Dear Director Skinner, It has been both an exciting and challenging transition to move from Clarinda Correc- tional Facility to Iowa State Penitentiary. I cannot express how thrilled I am to work with yet another talented and gifted team within the Iowa Department of Corrections. The Management Team wishes Warden Wachtendorf well in her future endeavors and thank her for her contributions to this facility. As I reflect on the last year, ISP has made some major strides in achieving the mission of safer communities in Iowa. The implementation of the Long Term Restrictive Housing program is an evidence-based program designed to assist our most difficult populations from a restrictive status to general population. We believe that it will be a crucial part of the Iowa Department of Correction’s long-term success. Another important stride is opening lines of communication between staff and leader- ship. It is vital for staff to be heard and part of operations in both name and practice. Finally, Iowa State Penitentiary will be looking forward to exploring innovative ways to encourage positive pro-social growth amongst our maximum-security population. Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of the rich traditions of Iowa State Peniten- tiary.

  • University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page{s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. Y ou will find a good image o f the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections w ith a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

Hundley; Paul Hedgepeth; * District of Iowa. James G. Helling; Vande Krol, * as Chaplain, * * Appellants. * ___________ Submitted: May 12, 1999 Filed: September 3, 1999 ___________ Before BEAM, FLOYD R. GIBSON, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges. ___________ BEAM, Circuit Judge. Inmate Duane Joseph Smith brought this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action against prison officials1 at the Iowa State Penitentiary (defendants) and the Iowa State Penitentiary 1Thomas Hundley died before time of trial. The district court opinion noted that Hedgepeth was being substituted for him in his official capacity under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 25, as well as being named in his individual capacity as Deputy (ISP)2 seeking injunctive and declaratory relief on the grounds that defendants violated his First Amendment rights by denying him items for the practice of his Seax-Wicca faith. Following a trial before a magistrate judge,3 Smith's claim for injunctive relief was denied on the ground that Smith was no longer incarcerated at ISP. However, the magistrate judge granted declaratory relief. On appeal, defendants assert that Smith's transfer mooted his case, including his request for declaratory relief, or in the alternative, their actions did not violate Smith's First Amendment rights. We agree that Smith's case is moot and vacate the judgment. I. BACKGROUND While confined at ISP, a maximum security prison, Smith made several requests to purchase items that he claims were necessary for the practice of his Seax-Wicca Warden.
