  • The Sing Sing Revolt the Incarceration Crisis and Criminal Justice Liberalism in the 1980S
    The Sing Sing Revolt The Incarceration Crisis and Criminal Justice Liberalism in the 1980s Lee Bernstein As 1983 began, New York’s prisons reached a chokepoint: in the past decade the inmate population went from 12,444 to 27,943. Mario Cuomo, who would become the nation’s most prominent liberal politician after delivering the keynote address at the 1984 Democratic National Convention, prepared to take the oath of office to become the state’s fifty-second governor.1 Corrections officials scrambled to find beds for four hundred new people each week in crumbling facilities and repurposed public buildings. This overcrowding occurred, to different degrees, throughout the system—city and county jails, juvenile facilities, and in state-run facilities variously classified minimum, medium, and maximum security. Multi- ple factors converged to create this overcrowding, including the war on drugs, the victims’ rights movement, and new “truth in sentencing” laws.2 In addition, declining tax revenues and the economic struggles of the state’s voters limited the state’s ability to fund new prison construction and to accommodate the educational, therapeutic, and social needs of its bur- geoning prison population. Access to basic needs like warm clothing, blankets, and mail became constrained. The Department of Correctional Services (DOCS) was character- ized by laughably inadequate grievance procedures, insufficiently staffed facilities, anemic responses to ongoing labor-management disputes, rifts between uniformed and civilian employees, and failure to address racist and sexist barriers to fair treatment for employees and the incarcerated population. Recent memory generated a foreboding sense of where all this would lead.

  • Prison Schools and the New Vision for Rehabilitation In
    “Protect Society and Salvage Men”: Prison Schools and the New Vision for Rehabilitation in New York State in the Progressive Era, 1905-1920 Antonia M. Smith Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Under the Executive Committee Of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2020 © 2020 Antonia M. Smith All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT “Protect Society and Salvage Men”: Prison Schools and the New Vision for Rehabilitation in New York State in the Progressive Era, 1905-1920 Antonia M. Smith The establishment of schools in prisons was a remarkable innovation in the prison reform movement of the Progressive Era in New York State, and represented a high point of success in the new vision of prisoner rehabilitation. While prison schools provided some support in filling the occupational void in prisoner time after the abolition of the contract labor system in prisons, and some form of social control by incentivizing good behavior, the prison school idea was also a humanitarian endeavor. Schooling was provided without immediate economic benefit to the State through product or labor; it was provided merely for the good of incarcerated men. In this dissertation, I argue that the prison schools, the hiring of professional educators, and the classification of inmates were reforms that, when taken together, formed tangible steps towards organizational, systemic, and policy shifts in prisons that brought to life the goals and aspirations of the prison reformers of the 1870 Congress of the National Prison Association, who envisioned the prison as “one great school” where all aspects of prison life would be subservient to instruction.

  • The Iron Bar. Episodes in the Modern History of Prison Physical Culture, Body Typing & the Ban on Weight Lifting in American Correctional Institutions
    THE IRON BAR. EPISODES IN THE MODERN HISTORY OF PRISON PHYSICAL CULTURE, BODY TYPING & THE BAN ON WEIGHT LIFTING IN AMERICAN CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS. by Victoria Felkar BKIN, The University of British Columbia, 2012 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Kinesiology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) December 2014 ©Victoria Felkar, 2014 Abstract The aim of this study is to explore the modern history of prison physical culture in order to better understand how perceptions of the muscular criminal male body have influenced the construction of prison physical culture and opportunities for physical activity in American correctional institutions. My focus on the recent weight lifting ban in the United States is designed to appraise how criminological knowledge of the muscular criminal male body has influenced penal policy over time. Through a selection of specific historical episodes in prison physical culture from the late 18th century to current correctional practice I evaluate the complicated interplay between penology, criminology, somatotyping, politics, prison physical culture and the enactment of the legal ban on prison weight lifting in 1994. Working from a critical socio-historical perspective this study intends to add to the limited knowledge of prison physical culture, research on physical activity in correctional facilities and attitudes toward the corporeal experience of those confined to prison.

  • Department of Correctional Services
    DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONAL SERVICES MISSION The Department of Correctional Services (DOCS) is responsible for the secure confinement of convicted felons and the preparation of these individuals for successful reintegration into the community upon release. ORGANIZATION AND STAFFING The Department, headed by a Commissioner, has more than 32,000 employees to operate 71 facilities. Each correctional facility is headed by a Superintendent and executive staff to oversee the daily operation of the nation's third largest state prison system. FISCAL BACKGROUND AND BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS The budget recommendations for the Department of Corrections reflect the declining prison population and agency operating efficiencies. The projected reduced demand for prison space represents a significant change in historical trends. For the past two decades New York has been faced with a growing need for prison capacity. Current population estimates project a decline for the coming fiscal year. This reversal of the historical trend is the result of several factors, including a decline in the statewide number of felony arrests, and the success of initiatives (such as Shock Incarceration, the Willard Drug Treatment Campus and the Merit Time Program) designed to reduce the number of non-violent offenders in prison. It is important to note that this reduction in demand for prison space will occur despite the fact that violent criminals are serving longer prison terms as a result of sentencing reforms enacted since 1995. Over the past six years, penalties for violent crime have increased significantly in New York State. Jenna's Law, enacted in August 1998, together with Truth-in-Sentencing legislation enacted in 1995, ensure that violent offenders will serve 85 percent of their sentence in prison.
