FY 2019 Governor's Recommended Budget Department and Branch Recommendations This section of the Budget includes appropriations, expenditures, core missions and programmatic evaluation data for the Legislature, State Departments and the Judiciary. A single unified presenta- tion provides a comprehensive view of all of a department’s operations across all fund categories (Direct State Services, Grants--In--Aid, State Aid and Capital Construction) and funds (General Fund and Dedicated Funds). The four major dedicated funds included are Property Tax Relief Fund, Casino Control Fund, Casino Revenue Fund and the Gubernatorial Election Fund. Direct State Services support the operation of State programs. Grants--In--Aid represent funds allocated to various public, private and non--profit agencies for State--supported services. State Aid comprises recommendations for payments by the State to or on behalf of a local unit of government, including school districts, municipalities and counties. Capital Construction includes funds for vari- ous equipment, renovation and construction of facilities, and infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges and wastewater treatment systems.

Throughout the year, staff continued to assist inmates, residents, attorneys, outside agencies, and the general public with matters relating to incarcerated offenders and committed sexually violent predators. The Department of Corrections (DOC) has an obligation to ensure that all persons committed to State Correctional Facilities and Residential Community Release Programs are provided with the custody, care, training, and treatment needed to prepare them for reintegration back into the community. Oversight by an independent body is essential to ensure the integrity of the system, administrative accountability, and to protect the rights of the incarcerated. The Corrections Ombudsperson’s role has a long and honorable tradition as a means of protecting against abuse, bias, and other improper treatment or unfairness. The Office of the Corrections Ombudsperson provides a concerned medium within which “State” sentenced inmates can seek redress for concerns that arise during incarceration regarding their living conditions, treatment, or any allegations of maladministration or inaction by correctional authorities.

  • Testimonies of Torture in New Jersey Prisons
    Testimonies of Torture in New Jersey Prisons EVIDENCE OF HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS A collection of testimonies from prisoners in New Jersey prisons, documenting uses of physical, chemical, and no-touch torture, among other human rights abuses. American Friends Service Committee Northeast Region Healing Justice Program Edited by: Bonnie Kerness Director, Prison Watch Program 89 Market Street, 6th floor Newark, NJ 07102 (973) 643-3192 Editorial Assistant Jessica Gonzalez Intern, Prison Watch Program Torture in New Jersey Prisons ǀ Evidence of Human Rights Violations February 2015 INTRODUCTION The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) is a Quaker faith based organization that promotes lasting peace with justice, as a practical expression of faith in action. AFSC’s interest in prison reform is strongly influenced by Quaker (Religious Society of Friends) activism addressing prison conditions as informed by the imprisonment of Friends for their beliefs and actions in the 17th and 18th centuries. AFSC has spoken out on behalf of prisoners whose voices are all too frequently silenced. Drawing on continuing spiritual insights and working with people of many backgrounds, we nurture the seeds of change and respect for human life that transform social relations and systems. For over two decades, the Prison Watch Program of the American Friends Service Committee, located in Newark, NJ, has been collecting testimonies in the form of letters from prisoners across the United States. These letters document various human rights abuses in US prisons, including, but not limited to, physical, chemical, and no-touch torture at the local, state and federal levels. It is clear that the concepts of international human rights law need to find their way into the US law enforcement, judicial and prison systems.

  • Discussion Points
    Department of Corrections and State Parole Board FY 2019-2020 Discussion Points DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS 1. P.L.2019, c.32 established several multiyear schedules for gradually raising the State minimum wage from currently $8.85 per hour to not less than $15.00 per hour. The increase may affect department staff, third parties that provide services to or on behalf of the department, and programs with means-tested eligibility criteria. In FY 2020, the general State minimum wage will rise as follows: 1) on July 1, 2019 to $10.00 per hour; and 2) on January 1, 2020, to not less than $11.00 per hour. The general minimum wage schedule will increase to at least $12 per hour on January 1, 2021; $13 per hour on January 1, 2022; $14 per hour on January 1, 2023; and $15 per hour on January 1, 2024. Questions: Please quantify the fiscal impact to the Department of Corrections (DOC) in FY 2020 of the increases in the minimum wage of department employees from $8.85 to $10 per hour on July 1, 2019 and from $10 to $11 per hour on January 1, 2020, and the number of employees who will be impacted by each increase. No current DOC staff would be impacted by raising the minimum wage. Relative to current compensation levels, please provide the same information assuming an hourly minimum wage of $12, $13, $14, and $15. No current DOC staff would be impacted by raising the minimum wage. Please quantify the fiscal impact to the department in FY 2020 of the increases in the minimum wage of persons in the custody of the department, under the supervision of the department, and employees of third parties that provide services either to the department, including temporary employment services, or on behalf of the department according to contractual agreements.

Torture in United States Prisons | Evidence of Human Rights Violations Introduction When prison doors close behind men and women they become our prisoners. If we are their family and friends, we may visit, write, call, and advocate on their behalf. If they are anonymous, we will likely dismiss them with the thought, “they broke the law—that was their choice— and now they must pay the penalty.” And we proceed about our daily lives without looking over the prison wall. It is time we did just that; prisons reflect the societies that create them.
