    The Economics of Educational Rehabilitation Jon M. Taylor Washington, D.C., December 1, 1988 - The Criminal Justice system is starvedfor resources and it is the lack ofadequate funding, rather than constitutional safeguards like the exclusionary rule or the Miranda warning, that is hindering law enforcement efforts, according to a study released today by the American Bar Associa- tion ... The report points out that the public should understand and accept that the Criminal Justice system alone cannot eliminate the crime problem. However, the principal complaint ofCriminal Justice of- ficials was that "they were not given the resources to do what they could do well ... " It warns that the answers to this growing problem are not "so simple as merely making more arrests and imposing longer prison sentences" and urges immediate action be taken "to rethink our strategies ... " Over the past few years, several national surveys conducted by news or- ganizations have reported that an overwhelming number of Americans feel that drugs/crime is the nation's most serious problem. In fact, the fear of crime has been reported to be ournation' s most pressing social problem for nearly a decade. Society's demand for action has, in part, resulted in the rewriting of sentencing laws anq probation guidelines in most states. This has further resulted in longer prison sentences for those incarcerated, and a bulging, growing, and recycling national prison population. America is rethinking its prison system. The impetus is cold, hard economics: the growing expense of corrections has ballooned out of control. But in the search for ways to cut costs, corrections authorities also are exploring new means of punishing lawbreakers that may achieve a long-elusive social goal as well: a greater degree of rehabilitation.

  • Waterbirds of Alcatraz (PDF)
    National Park Service Waterbirds of Alcatraz U. S. Department of Interior Golden Gate National Recreation Area The Birds Return Alcatraz takes its name from the word, alcatraces, or seabirds, from the early Spanish explorers. Generations of seabirds occupied the island until it became a military fortress in the 1850’s. For the next hundred years, hardly any birds remained as the human activities of the fortress, military prison, and then federal penitentiary kept them away. Even The Birdman of Alcatraz, Robert Stroud, didn’t have any birds here. When the cellhouse closed in 1963, the lack of human disturbance and land predators, as well as island topography and location, led to the return of the birds. Today, this National Historic Landmark is a haven for over 5,000 nesting birds. Creating Their Niche When the U.S. Army dynamited the island to build the fortress, the resulting steep cliffs and tide pools gradually became wildlife habitat. Garden plants that had been tended during the federal penitentiary years grew into dense thickets of cover for sensitive birds. Nests are even tucked within the rubble and concrete pipes left over from the era when correctional officers and their families lived here. A diversity of wildlife Bancroft Library, Eadweard Muybridge Collection finds their niche within these man-made U.S. Army soldiers, Alcatraz 1869 habitats. Birds of Warning Alcatraz waterbirds feed nearby when alert us to impacts to the ecosystem their chicks are helpless and growing that may affect our health as well. On fast.

    w Welcome This is issue twelve LPM has entered its third year of existence and there are some changes this year. Instead of releasing an issue every two months we are now a quarterly magazine, so a new issue is released every three months. We also are happy to welcome Annie Weible to our writing staff, we are psyched that she has joined our team. We will continue to bring you interesting articles and amazing stories. Paranormal - true crime- horror In this Issue The Legends of Alcatraz 360 Cabin Update Part two The Dybbuk Box The Iceman Aleister Crowley The Haunting of Al Capone Horror Fiction The visage of Alcatraz conjures visions of complete and utter isolation. The forlorn wails of intrepid seagulls beating against the craggy shore. A stoic reminder of the trials of human suffering, the main prison rises stark against the roiling San Francisco Bay. The Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary began its storied history in 1910 as a United States Army prison before transforming into a federal prison in 1934. Since its inception, Alcatraz held the distinction of being one of America’s toughest prisons, often being touted as “escape proof”. During its time as an active prison, Alcatraz held some of the most problematic prisoners. Notable characters held in Alcatraz includes; Al Capone, Machine Gun Kelley and Robert Stroud, among just a few. Alphonse Gabriel Capone, also known as Scarface, was an American gangster. Scarface was known for his brutality following the Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre in Chicago in which seven rival gang members were gunned down by Capone’s men.

The Governor of Puerto Rico, cooperating with the island’s communities and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, selected the present site of the station at Mayaguez: the farm known as Hacienda Carmen, 235 acres donated by the City of Mayaguez. At its inception, this facility was known as the Federal Experiment Station. In 1975 it became the Mayaguez Institute of Tropical Agriculture (mita), and in 1982 was renamed the Tropical Ag- riculture Research Station (tars). Since 1961 it has been part of the Agricultural Research Service’s Tropical Crops and Germplasm Research Division. When established, the Federal Experiment Station was the island’s only institution for agricul- 2 tural research, and horticultural research has always been prominent in the station’s program.

  • Statement of Significance
    Alcatraz Island Golden Gate National Recreation Area Statement Of Significance Alcatraz Island was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1976 and was designated a National Historic Landmark (NHL) in 1986. The National Register nomination describes the significance of Alcatraz Island: “Alcatraz is an island in San Francisco Bay which is of national historical significance in the categories of military history and social history (penology). During the mid-19th Century it was an impressive fortress guarding, along with Fort Point and, later, Angel Island, the entrance to San Francisco Bay. As a fortress, it was as nearly impregnable as technology of the time could make it – an “American Gibraltar” – and it was crowned with a brick/masonry “Citadel” which may have been unique in the annals of American military architecture. In later years it served as a military prison, and in more recent times became a Federal penitentiary and one of America’s most famous penal institutions, with a reputation rivaling France’s Devil’s Island. As a Federal prison, it housed some of America’s most dangerous criminals, those whom it was believed were too unmanageable for incarceration in other Federal prisons. Its location in the Bay rendered Alcatraz nearly escape-proof” (Chappell 1976). The statement of significance included with the NHL nomination states: “Alcatraz Island has been the site of events that have had an important impact on the nation as a whole from before the Civil War through an Indian Occupation of the 1970s. Its significance in the area of military history, social history (penology), and maritime commerce is enhanced by the integrity of the resource which follows from the fact that access to the island has been strictly limited by the U.S.

I situate certain modes, discourses, and texts produced by prisoners—scientific research, jailhouse legal work, letter-writing, revolutionary polemic, and testimonial writing—within a larger rubric of what I call “productive intellectual labor.” The project draws on Marxist debates to define each part of that term and employs the work of Michel Foucault to contextualize prevailing historical notions regarding penal labor, the evolution of punishment, and discursive trends of those writing back to power.

  • The Resistable Rise and Predictable Fall of the US Supermax
    mo nt hlyreview.o rg http://monthlyreview.org/2009/11/01/the-resistable-rise-and-predictable-fall-of-the-u-s-supermax The Resistable Rise and Predictable Fall of the U.S. Supermax :: Monthly Review Stephen F. Eisenman Stephen F. Eisenman is prof essor of art history at Northwestern University and the editor and principle author of Nineteenth Century Art (New York: Thames & Hudson). Throughout 2008–09, Eisenman worked with a group of Chicago artists, activists, and lawyers to end torture at Tamms supermax prison. In a recent article entitled “The Penal State in an Age of Crisis ” (Monthly Review, June 2009), Hannah Holleman, Robert W. McChesney, John Bellamy Foster, and R. Jamil Jonna sought to account f or the surprising stability of civilian government spending (non-def ense government consumption and investment) as a percentage of GDP during a period, roughly 1970 to the present, when the power of capital over labor increased, inequality grew, and cuts in government programs f or the poor and working class continued more or less without abatement.1 One solution to the paradox, the authors persuasively argued, was the growth in spending f or “the penal state,” a political regime marked by the mass incarceration of the poor and the vulnerable who posed risks to the stability of the prevailing economic and social order. Indeed, the incarcerated population of the United States has grown markedly in the last three decades, f rom approximately 221 per 100,000 of population in 1980, to 762 per 100,000 in 2008. The United States now has by f ar the highest incarceration rate in the world (over six times higher than Britain’s or China’s and twelve times higher than Japan’s), an incarcerated population of 2.3 million, and a total correctional population (in prison or jail, or on probation) of 7.3 million.2 In other words, civilian government spending has remained constant during a period of capitalist-class consolidation, in part because an increasing proportion of that expenditure has gone to maintaining a penal state that disciplines the poor.
