  1. NEW: Tennessee’s highest-security youth prisons are operated by a single private company.

    Former staff say they felt pressure to hide abuse and other serious incidents from the state and to handle medical emergencies without calling 911.

  3. J'ai découvert l'ancienne #prison de #Gingamp, première prison européenne du courant dit "humaniste". Le #travail y prend une dimension particulière => pour Toqueville, l'un des inspirateur.ices du projet, "c’est l’oisiveté qui conduit au crime ; en travaillant, [le criminel] apprendra comment on vit honnêtement."

    Après le bagne de Cayenne découvert l'année dernière en déplacement pro, il y a décidément un épisode à prévoir sur "le travail comme (soi-disant ?) outil de réhabilitation".

    à suivre, donc...

  5. @Tuumaru Siellä oli mukavasti pysähtyneen oloisen tienoon lisäksi pysäyttäviä tiloja laitettu näytille. Istuskelin joutessa käytävällä mm. tällaisen majoitustilan äärellä ja annoin hiukan tuntua, mitä se on, kun sellin jykevää ovea ei saa auki sisäpuolelta. Joillekin uteliaille matkalaisille saatoin sanoa, että "huone vapautuu kohta".

    Etukäteis-opiskelu ilman muuta kannattaa, elleivät muistaminen ja kokeminen ole radikaalisti vaihtoehtoisia mielen liikkeitä, kuten minulla tuppaa nykyään olemaan.

  6. Dignity and a better environment don't have to be efficient but they are:

    New "Scandinavian wings" at Wandsworth and Pentonville jails have seen a 45% fall in assaults, 57% drop in self harm, halving of staff absence rates, 62% fall in disorder - fascinating results from trial into a rehabilitative approach to prisons:

  14. Worrying aspect of this #crime is offender clearly knows he will get #prison for stabbing someone, and appears to have already researched sentence he would get and still is prepared to commit the offence for just £20 -whilst he's mistakenly picked the highest minimum tarriff for an adult offender committing #murder in public rather than a juvenile (its about 16 years these days), even that wasn't a deterrent.

    If he had the #knife since Year 9 that means he has been routinely carrying it and preparing to use if for 2-3 years..

    If #ToxicMasculinity isn't addressed in #British society (which needs to start before primary school age!) we are never going to solve the problems with overcrowded #prisons as they will keep filling up with lads like this..

  16. The development ⁠was the sharpest escalation yet in a broad #Republican & #Trump admin campaign to re-litigate the #pandemic & assign blame for the toll of actions taken as part of the US response.

    Trump said the #DOJ ​should potentially prosecute #Fauci, comparing him to allies #PeterNavarro & #SteveBannon, who both served 4 months in #prison for contempt of #Congress after defying subpoenas [they didn’t even go to their hearings].

  18. A follow-up article from Jessica Washington at @theintercept illuminates the blatant 1st Amendment violations and cynical allegations made by the Oregon Department of Corrections against Malik that resulted in their secretive transfer to South Carolina.

    Of note is how the prison flagged Malik's criticism of the state of Israel in its misconduct report, showing how ODOC punishes political speech inside.

  20. A man who with others invaded a family home in SE #England and used serious #violence against those inside when they were unable to hand over #cryptocurrency has received a 15 year #prison sentence for #aggravatedBurglary

    It appears the family had been stalked for some time with #tracking and #signalJammers were used during the #crime
