Vaughn, PhD Dissertation Director Dennis Longmire, PhD Committee Member Jurg Gerber, PhD Committee Member Phillip Lyons, PhD Dean, College of Criminal Justice DEDICATION To Jim and Barbara Riley, my parents, who have been my cheering section through my entire academic career. They both have worked so hard their entire lives so their children could have a better life than they did. It is from them that I have learned to never give up and to try to leave the world in better shape than I found it. I also dedicate this to my aunts: Rosemary, Ann, Joan, and Alice. They had to go to work – only the boys could go to college. Thanks for instilling us with your love of learning. Finally, to Aunt Bernie, my rock, my calm, my oasis in the storm…everyone should have an Aunt Bernie. iii ABSTRACT Riley, Brenda S, Religious accommodations in prison: The states' policies v. the circuit courts. Doctor of Philosophy(Criminal Justice and Criminology), August, 2019, Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas. As a fundamental right of United States citizens, freedom of religion does not stop at the prison door. In the last 50 years, legislation and litigation involving management of religion in prisons has been quite active. This study reviews such activity, showing the history of prison-religion law development, along with the case law in the U.S. Supreme Court and lower courts since the inception of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act. A review of relevant laws and cases, coupled with examination of existing policies from different states, correctional administrators and legislators may derive policy implications for future accommodations of offenders’ religious rights. KEY WORDS: Religious accommodations, Prison, Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act, Religious property, Religious Assembly, Religious Diet, Religious Grooming, Pat Searches, Strip Searches iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation would not have been possible without the encouragement of Doug Dretke, Executive Director, Correctional Management Institute of Texas (former Texas Department of Criminal Justice Correctional Institutions Division Director and my former supervisor), Janie Cockrell (former Texas Department of Criminal Justice Institutional Division Director and my former supervisor), Carl Reynolds (former TDCJ General Counsel, who first introduced me to the world of legal research), Jackie Larue Edwards (former Texas Department of Criminal Justice Administrative Review and Risk Management Division Director and my former supervisor), William Stephens, Texas Department of Criminal Justice Correctional Institutions Division Director, and my co- workers, Debra West, Cherie Miller, and Jemelle Spivey. I would also like to acknowledge the help, advice, and encouragement of Dr. Michael Vaughn, Dr. Jurg Gerber, Doris Powell-Pratt, Karen Eads, Dr. Janet Mullings, Dr. Larry Hoover, Dr. Gaylene Armstrong, Dr. Kelly Cheeseman, Dr. George Day, Dr. Meredith Rountree, Dr. Doug Julien, Dr. Craig Nakashian, Dr. Tom Jordan, Dr. Peter Racheotes, Dr. Del Doughty, Kelly Bennett, and Bette Shoptaw. The support and encouragement of my cohort and mentors (Maria Koeppel, Melissa Petkovsek, Jeanne Subjack, Nancy Gartner, Robin Jackson, Kim Chism, Cody Gaines, and Leah McCoy) also fostered a spirit of collegiality that anyone would be fortunate to have during their academic career.

The Old Montana Prison Is preserved and presented to you by Powell County Museum and Arts Foundation and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. • This tour will take 45 to 60 minutes to complete. • This site is over 130 years old and some of the grounds are uneven, so please watch your step. • Please stay on the tour route. • Do not mark or remove any property under penalty of law.

  • Jewish Wigs and Islamic Sportswear: Negotiating Regulations of Religion and Fashion Emma Tarlo Goldsmiths, University of London
    1 Jewish wigs and Islamic sportswear: Negotiating regulations of religion and fashion Emma Tarlo Goldsmiths, University of London Abstract This article explores the dynamics of freedom and conformity in religious dress prescriptions and fashion, arguing that although fashion is popularly perceived as liberating and religion as constraining when it comes to dress, in reality both demand conformity to normative expectations while allowing some freedom of interpretation. The article goes on to trace the emergence of new forms of fashionable religious dress such as the human-hair wigs worn by some orthodox Jewish women and the new forms of Islamic sportswear adopted by some Muslim women. It shows how these fashions have emerged through the efforts of religiously observant women to subscribe simultaneously to the expectations of fashion and religious prescription, which are seen to operate in a relationship of creative friction. In doing so, they invent new ways of dressing that push the boundaries of religious and fashion norms even as they seek to conform to them. Keywords Jewish wigs Islamic sportswear fashion religion burqini sheitel This article explores the dynamics of the relationship between religious clothing regulation and fashion by tracking the evolution of new sartorial inventions that have emerged through religious women’s dual concerns with fashion and faith. It proposes that although religious regulations relating to dress play an obvious role in limiting sartorial possibilities, they also provide a stimulus for creative responses that result in stylistic innovation. Viewed in this light, new forms of fashionable religious dress should be seen not so much as attempts to dilute or circumvent religious prescriptions and regulations, but rather as aspiring to obey the rules of fashion and the rules of religion simultaneously.

  • Supermax Isolation
    one Supermax Isolation Solitary confinement has been part of American correctional practice since the birth of the nation. Th e idea of isolating prisoners for their own good was supported in the fi nal years of the eighteenth century by such prominent fi gures as Benjamin Franklin and his friend Benjamin Rush, the pioneering psychiatrist. During that era, many Quakers viewed crime as a moral lapse and jail as a place where prisoners would be left by themselves in a cell and would be expected to search their souls about their errant ways and be “penitent” (thus the origin of the word penitentiary). But over the years, prison funding could not keep pace with a growing prison population, so this kind of solitary confi nement for the general population of prisoners was abandoned as too expensive to construct for or to maintain. Where solitary was retained, its original rehabilitative rationale was stripped away; it was now openly used merely as a dreaded punishment and deterrent within the prison and as a convenient means of separating out, for months, years, even decades, individuals whose inclusion in the general prison population might pose problems for prison management. the long history of solitary confinement in the united states Th e fi rst correctional facility in the nation to consign prisoners to single cells was the Walnut Street Jail in Philadelphia. It was originally built in 1773 to handle the overfl ow of prisoners from the nearby, massively overcrowded High Street Jail. Th ere were simply too many debtors, paupers, prostitutes, thieves, and ex- slaves going to jail for the jailers to fi nd the space to house them.

  • The Osborne Landtill Was Used for Many Years by Numerous Companies and Individuals in and Around Grove City Es a Place to Dispose of Unwanted Waste
    SUMMARY OF COOPER INDUSTRIES, INC. INVOLVEMENT IN THE INVESTIGATION OF THE OSBORNE LANDFILL RI/FS The Osborne LandTill was used for many years by numerous companies and individuals in and around Grove City es a place to dispose of unwanted waste. In 1981, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources (DER) began their investigation of the need to clean up this site under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation end Liability Act (CERCLA or "Superfund"), 42 U.S.C. §9601 et sea. The efforts by U.S. EPA and Pennsylvania DER have involved the continuing cooperative effort of Cooper Industries, inc. whose C-B Reciprocating Division plant in Grove City used the Osborne Landfill to dispose of its foundry sand. EPA has identified parties who owned or operated this site, or who sent waste to it, including General Electric Corporation, Ashland Chemical Company, and Wolfe Iron & Metal Company (now Castle Iron & Metal). Typically, such parties, known as Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs), attempt to reach agreement with the government to perform the investigative and remedial work at their expense. This avoids the need for the government to spend Federal Superfund monies for the task. It also has been shown that these privately funded projects are done more efficiently and at less cost than those done by government contractors. This is in the best interests of these PRPs, because the government can require them to reimburse the Superfund for all such expenses that are performed consistently with the National Contingency Plan (NCP), 40 C.F.R.

  • A Comparison Framework on Islamic Dress Code and Modest Fashion in the Malaysian Pjaee, 17 (7) (2020) Fashion Industry
    A COMPARISON FRAMEWORK ON ISLAMIC DRESS CODE AND MODEST FASHION IN THE MALAYSIAN PJAEE, 17 (7) (2020) FASHION INDUSTRY A COMPARISON FRAMEWORK ON ISLAMIC DRESS CODE AND MODEST FASHION IN THE MALAYSIAN FASHION INDUSTRY Zulina Kamarulzaman, Nazlina Shaari Zulina Kamarulzaman, Nazlina Shaari: A Comparison Framework on Islamic Dress Code and Modest Fashion in the Malaysian Fashion Industry-- Palarch’s Journal Of Archaeology Of Egypt/Egyptology 17(7). ISSN 1567-214x Keywords— Conceptual framework, Islamic dress code, modest fashion, Malaysia. ABSTRACT The influence of social media trends in the current world has significantly impacted the fashion industry. Hence, the rise of the Islamic fashion culture has expanded to Western countries, which no longer consider Islamic fashion to be dull and boring. Islamic fashion was also constantly misjudged, even by Muslims, as the idea of covering the body and head with a veil or hijab and wearing body-hugging clothes with a bit of exposed hair is accepted as Islamic wear. This indicated a shift of perspective from a conservative to modern culture in Islamic attire, with a lack of understanding of the difference between the two concepts. Therefore, this study identifies the comparison between the Islamic dress code and modest fashion. The analysis performed used the literature review of previous studies over five years, between 2015 and 2020, using databases from Google Scholar and Scopus. However, only 15 articles were discussed in this study. The review of past literature was based on the crucial keywords related to this study. Modest fashion, the Islamic dress code, and Islamic fashion in Malaysia was the focus of the keywords research.
