Mirande´ Dr. Dylan E. Rodriguez Copyright by Michael Lawrence Walker 2014 The Dissertation of Michael Lawrence Walker is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I have had help from more people than I have space to thank. Let me begin by expressing my sincerest gratitude to the most outstanding mentor, chair, and friend that a student could ever hope to have—Ellen Reese. This project would not have been possible if not for her efforts. On more than one occasion she extended herself on my behalf. With all she managed on her plate, she still found time to read, edit, and respond to my work with astonishing speed. Thank you! I would also like to acknowledge my committee members, Adalberto Aguirre, Jr., Alfredo Mirande, and Dylan Rodriguez, each of whom provided valuable insight and pushed me (through challenges or through the value of their scholarship) to do my best. To my “unofficial” committee members, Damion Thomas and Randol Contreras, thank you for your advice, friendship, and time. To Scott Brooks who originally encouraged my ethnographic eye, I am forever grateful. To Howard Becker who watered the seed that Scott Brooks planted, thank you for the long conversations and advice. I am also particularly grateful to Jane Ward who was a friend when I most needed one. To Edna Bonacich, who I consider a member of my immediate family, thank you for always being there! I am grateful to the Department of Sociology faculty who I made full use of, often popping into offices with my queries. I would be remiss without a special thanks to Anna Wire, our Graduate Affairs Assistant, who literally ensures the success of graduate students at UC, Riverside. Thank you! Finally, I would like to acknowledge my dear brother, Wil Greer, whose act of heroic kindness so many years ago sparked a friendship that would guide me to be the best man, father, and developing scholar that I can be. iv DEDICATIONS The road to earning a Ph.D. is a selfish one. I have tried to remain mindful of that throughout this process. The efforts represented here are dedicated to Heather L. M. Walker, M.D., Brenden M. Walker, Laiyla I. S. Walker, and Jaden K. M. Walker—my wife and children. You all give me strength. Your patience and understanding during my long hours away can never be repaid, but I will never stop trying. v ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Punishment and Coping in “Golden County”: An Ethnography of Jail Living by Michael Lawrence Walker Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Program in Sociology University of California, Riverside, June 2014 Dr. Ellen Reese, Chairperson A growing body of research has been dedicated to examining the effects of mass incarceration with particular emphasis on the lives of former prison inmates, their families, their communities, and their life chances post incarceration. This dissertation takes a different focus, looking at the everyday lives of inmates in a county jail system. Though often discussed anecdotally within studies of prisons, jails are distinct from other types of punishing institutions in terms of function, amenities available to inmates, and scope. These differences make for a qualitatively unique inmate experience. The distinctiveness of jails provides for equally distinct sets of punishments and coping strategies that inmates adopt for survival. The findings presented here reveal the practical application of “tough on crime” policies and practices inside jail walls where the lives of captured men have been nearly invisible. vi TABLE OF

Wards Of The State: Care And Custody In A Pennsylvania Prison Abstract In this dissertation, I examine the challenges and contradictions as well as the expectations and aspirations involved in the provision of healthcare to inmates in a maximum-security prison in Pennsylvania. In 1976, the Supreme Court granted inmates a constitutional right to healthcare based on the notion that a failure to do so would constitute “cruel and unusual punishment.” Drawing on two years of ethnographic fieldwork from 2014-2016 in the prison’s medical unit with inmates, healthcare providers, and correctional staff, I demonstrate how the legal infrastructure built around this right to healthcare operates in practice and the myriad effects it has for those in state custody. Through traversing the scales of legal doctrine, privatized managed care, and collective historical memory, bringing these structural components to life in personal narratives and clinical interactions, I advance the notion that the physical space of the prison’s medical unit is a “ward of the state” – a space of care where the state itself is “made” through interactions among individuals who relay and enact the legal regulations on inmate healthcare.

  • Prison Visits: on the Outside Looking in Victoria Simpson Beck, Stephen C
    Prison Visits: On the Outside Looking In Victoria Simpson Beck, Stephen C. Richards and Preston Elrod he American prison population continues to grow. According to the TBureau of Justice Statistics, as of December 31, 2006, there were 2,258,983 people in American prisons and jails. The Federal Bureau of Prisons is the largest prison system in the United States. As of February 2008, the Federal Bureau of Prisons listed 114 institutions with a total prisoner population of 200,931. The majority of federal prisoners are housed in institutions miles away from their last place of residence, serving extremely long sentences for non-violent offences (Mumola, 2000). Research has found that one major impediment to visiting loved- ones in prison is the distance to the prison (Casey-Acevedo and Bakken, 2002). Visitors face transportation and financial barriers to visiting (Tewksbury and DeMichele, 2006). It is an exhausting, resource- intensive process for a family member to make one visit to a prison (Christian, 2006). Consequently, 41.1 percent of federal prisoners never receive a visit from their family (Mumola, 2000), and are more likely to serve their time in social isolation and feel the pains of imprisonment more acutely. One way to reduce those pains for federal and state prisoners is through volunteer prison visitation work, which is shown to help prisoners cope with life in the penitentiary and build relationships (Duncan and Balbar, 2008). People may decide to volunteer to visit prisoners for religious, spiritual, moral, ethical, social, personal or professional reasons. Numerous religious organizations sponsor and encourage volunteers to visit prisons.

  • Review of Federal Bureau of Prisons' Monitoring of Contract Prisons
    OfOfffiiccee ooff tthhee IInnssppececttoorr GGenenereraall UU.S.S.. DDeeppaarrtmetmenntt ooff JJuusstiticcee Review of the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ Monitoring of Contract Prisons Evaluation and Inspections Division 1 6-06 August 2016 * EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), which is the component of the Department of Justice (Department) responsible for incarcerating all federal defendants sentenced to prison, was operating at 20 percent over its rated capacity as of December 2015. To help alleviate overcrowding and respond to congressional mandates, in 1997 the BOP had begun contracting with privately operated institutions (often referred to as “contract prisons”), at first on a smaller scale and later more extensively, to confine federal inmates who are primarily low security, criminal alien adult males with 90 months or less remaining to serve on their sentences. As of December 2015, contract prisons housed roughly 22,660 of these federal inmates, or about 12 percent of the BOP’s total inmate population. These contract prisons were operated by three private corporations: Corrections Corporation of America; GEO Group, Inc.; and Management and Training 1 Corporation. The BOP’s annual expenditures on contract prisons increased from approximately $562 million in fiscal year (FY) 2011 to $639 million in FY 2014. In recent years, disturbances in several federal contract prisons resulted in extensive property damage, bodily injury, and the death of a Correctional Officer. The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) initiated this review to examine how the BOP monitors these facilities. We also assessed whether contractor performance meets certain inmate safety and security requirements and analyzed how contract prisons and similar BOP institutions compare with regard to inmate safety and security data.

Drexel University, October 2012 Chairperson: W. Edward Bureau, PhD This qualitative case study examined Kairos Prison Ministry to see whether this volunteer, faith-based program has any impact on the men who take part in it at California State Prison Sacramento. The problem stated in this research is as follows: The effectiveness of the Kairos Prison Ministry’s faith-based intervention program is not clearly understood in terms of how it impacts the behavior of its program graduates at California State Prison Sacramento in Folsom, California. The research study was conducted as a qualitative case to collect and compare data among the inmates and staff of California State Prison Sacramento, as well as that of the members of the Kairos Advisory Council. The case study method provided the opportunity for triangulation of data from multiple sources of evidence, as this study utilized document collection, field observations and notes, semi-structured interviews, and two focus group interviews.

Samuels, Jr. and the executive staff of the Bureau of Prisons for their assistance and support in conducting an independent assessment of the restrictive housing programs within the agency. This review could not have been successfully completed without Director Samuels’ strong personal support of the scope of the review and the goals and objectives of this project. His personal involvement and interest in the independent review of the operations and programs of this aspect of the Bureau was critical to completing the assessment. In addition, the project team thanks the wardens and staff of the institutions visited by the team for their outstanding support and willingness to fully open their operation to outside scrutiny. Finally, this project could not have been possible without the support and deep involvement of the National Institute of Corrections and Acting Director Robert M. Brown, Jr. and his staff. In particular, the CNA project team is grateful to Shaina Vanek for her commitment to and coordination of the project and for facilitating communication and the exchange of information between the project team and the Bureau staff. Without her personal involvement and the initiative she took to find resolution to literally every challenge that arose during the project, this report could not have been completed.
