Xerox University Microfilms INFORMATION TO USERS This material 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. You will find a good image of 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 with 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. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5. PLEASE NOTE: Some pages may have indistinct print. Filmed as received.

This research could not have been successfully undertaken without the openness and understanding of both the Ohio Prisoners' Labor Union and the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction. Especially helpful in terms of their time and assistance were R. Raymond Twohig, Jr., legal counsel for the Ohio Prisoners' Labor Union; James B. Swingle, specialist in the Data Center of the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction; and Raymond E. Capots, Assistant Superintendent of Administration and Research for the Ohio Adult Parole Authority. The continued guidance and sagacious counsel of Professor Simon Dinitz throughout this project has been invaluable and is hereby grate­ fully acknowledged. His support, both professional and personal, was instrumental in countless ways during the past two years. Professor Joseph E. Scott's assistance in collecting data on European prisoner organizations and on Ohio citizens' and prisoners' perceptions helped in providing a broader perspective on the phenomenon of prisoner unions. Much of the information dealing with the California Prisoners' Union and national organizing efforts was obtained through the cooperation of Willie Holder, President of the Prisoners' Union (headquartered in San Francisco). Four undergraduate students invested iv untold hours in the collection and coding of data: Bill Braden, Dave Jensen, Debbie Reed, and Dave Fisher. I would also like to thank three faculty members who were not direct contributors to this project but nevertheless were especially encouraging and supportive of my work and have been able to help create and maintain a graduate program most conducive of academic scholarship and warm human relationships. They are Chairman Edward C. McDonagh and Professors Alfred C. Clarke and Russell R. Dynes. Finally, the encouragement and assistance of my wife, Pat, helped me persevere during the difficult times, sometimes in spite of the loud (and largely unintelligible) protests of our baby daughter, Tamara. v VITA November 10, 1945 .............

McLeod EVIEW R ABSTRACT This Article introduces to legal scholarship the first sustained discussion of prison LA LAW LA LAW C abolition and what I will call a “prison abolitionist ethic.” Prisons and punitive policing U produce tremendous brutality, violence, racial stratification, ideological rigidity, despair, and waste. Meanwhile, incarceration and prison-backed policing neither redress nor repair the very sorts of harms they are supposed to address—interpersonal violence, addiction, mental illness, and sexual abuse, among others. Yet despite persistent and increasing recognition of the deep problems that attend U.S. incarceration and prison- backed policing, criminal law scholarship has largely failed to consider how the goals of criminal law—principally deterrence, incapacitation, rehabilitation, and retributive justice—might be pursued by means entirely apart from criminal law enforcement. Abandoning prison-backed punishment and punitive policing remains generally unfathomable. This Article argues that the general reluctance to engage seriously an abolitionist framework represents a failure of moral, legal, and political imagination.

  • The Meaning of Cultural Criminology August, 2015, Vol 7(2): 34-48 L
    Journal of Theoretical & Philosophical Criminology The meaning of cultural criminology August, 2015, Vol 7(2): 34-48 L. Bevier _______________________________________ July, 2015, 7, 34-48 _______________________________________ The Meaning of Cultural Criminology: A Theoretical and Methodological Lineage Landon Bevier, University of Tennessee _______________________________________ Abstract The field of cultural criminology has faced much criticism concerning the perspective's perceived theoretical ambiguity and inadequate definition of its core concept: culture (O’Brien, 2005; Webber, 2007). One critique goes so far as to conclude by asking, "One has to wonder, what is cultural criminology?" (Spencer, 2010, p. 21) In the current paper, I endeavor to answer this question using the theoretical texts of cultural criminology. Whereas critics use cultural criminologists’ “own words” to evidence a lack of clarity (Farrell, 2010, p. 60), I use such words to clarify the logic, scope, and meaning of cultural criminology. In so doing, I explore the role of cultural criminology as a subfield of academic criminology; examine prior conceptualizations of 'culture' and their relation to that of cultural criminology, and trace the main methodological and theoretical antecedents from which the field emerged. ______________________________________ 34 Journal of Theoretical & Philosophical Criminology The meaning of cultural criminology August, 2015, Vol 7(2): 34-48 L. Bevier The Meaning of Cultural Criminology: A Theoretical and Methodological Lineage The field of cultural criminology has "borne many slings and arrows, more so than almost any other of the critical criminologies in the last few years" (Muzzatti, 2006, p. 74). Many such slings and arrows are aimed at the perspective's perceived theoretical ambiguity and inadequate definition of its core concept: culture (O’Brien, 2005; Webber, 2007; Farrell, 2010; Spencer, 2010).

  • Prisons and Punishments in Late Medieval London
    Prisons and Punishments in Late Medieval London Christine Winter Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London Royal Holloway, University of London, 2012 2 Declaration I, Christine Winter, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 3 Abstract In the history of crime and punishment the prisons of medieval London have generally been overlooked. This may have been because none of the prison records have survived for this period, yet there is enough information in civic and royal documents, and through archaeological evidence, to allow a reassessment of London’s prisons in the later middle ages. This thesis begins with an analysis of the purpose of imprisonment, which was not merely custodial and was undoubtedly punitive in the medieval period. Having established that incarceration was employed for a variety of purposes the physicality of prison buildings and the conditions in which prisoners were kept are considered. This research suggests that the periodic complaints that London’s medieval prisons, particularly Newgate, were ‘foul’ with ‘noxious air’ were the result of external, rather than internal, factors. Using both civic and royal sources the management of prisons and the abuses inflicted by some keepers have been analysed. This has revealed that there were very few differences in the way civic and royal prisons were administered; however, there were distinct advantages to being either the keeper or a prisoner of the Fleet prison. Because incarceration was not the only penalty available in the enforcement of law and order, this thesis also considers the offences that constituted a misdemeanour and the various punishments employed by the authorities.

  • Prisoners of Solitude: Bringing History to Bear on Prison Health Policy Margaret Charleroy and Hilary Marland
    Prisoners of Solitude: Bringing History to Bear on Prison Health Policy Margaret Charleroy and Hilary Marland Season two of the popular prison drama Orange is the New Black opens in a small concrete cell, no larger than a parking space. The cell is windowless and sparsely furnished; it holds a toilet, a sink and a limp bed. The only distinguishing feature we see is a mural of smeared egg, made by the cell's resident, the show's protagonist Piper Chapman. When a correctional officer arrives at this solitary confinement cell, he wakes her, and mocks her egg fresco. “This is art,” she insists. “This is a yellow warbler drinking out of a daffodil.” Her rambling suggests the confusion and disorientation associated with inmates in solitary confinement, who often become dazed after only a few days in isolation. As the scene continues, we see Piper exhibit further symptoms associated with both short- and long-term solitary confinement—memory loss, inability to reason, mood swings, anxiety—all indicating mental deterioration and impaired mental health. In this and other episodes, we begin to see solitary confinement as the greatest villain in the show, more villainous than any character a writer could create. The new and growing trend of television prison dramas like Orange is the New Black brings the issue of solitary confinement, along with other issues related to incarceration, to a more general audience, exposing very real problems in the failing contemporary prison system, not just in America, but worldwide. The show's success leads us to ask how history, alongside fictional dramas and contemporary case reports, can draw attention to the issue of solitary confinement.

  • The North Carolina Historical Review
    The North Carolina Historical Review Volume XX October, 1943 Number 4 PUBLIC BUILDINGS IN CRAVEN COUNTY 1722-1835 By Alonzo Thomas Dill, Junior I No greater problem faced the counties of early North Caro- lina than the periodical new construction and almost continuous demand for repair of public buildings. The costliness of some materials and the scarcity of skilled labor were only part of the trouble. The frequent indifference of officials and their inept- ness at collecting and accounting for revenues added to the diffi- culty. Public building was therefore a long-drawn-out under- taking. Construction of a courthouse might last a decade or more, and during these years taxes would sometimes double, so far as county levies were concerned. The erection of such a building required much effort, and its completion was a real accomplishment—one which this opulent generation, with its federal grants-in-aid and easy long-term borrowing, cannot fully appreciate. Today's epidemic of federal construction has resulted in the erection of so many public buildings of all kinds that perhaps, too, it is difficult to realize just how important these structures were to the early life of North Carolina. The jails with their pillory, stocks, and whipping post, the powder magazines for the militia, the courthouses and later pest houses and poor houses, served as a kind of common social denominator in whose creation everyone who paid taxes had a share and in whose benefits or miseries a large proportion of the population took part. The courthouses are a good example of this.
