OVERCROWDING IN U.S. CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS AND REMEDIAL ACTIONS UNDER WAY OR RECOMMENDED ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN THIS ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF DOCUMENTS FROM THE NCJRS DATA BASE. |
| Abstract:
|
THE BIBLIOGRAPHY IS DESIGNED FOR USE BY CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS AND ADMINISTRATORS AND ALL OTHERS CONCERNED WITH PRISON CONDITIONS AND PRISON REFORM. MOST OF THE 62 ENTRIES ARE MORE RECENT THAN 1973. SPECIFIC CONDITIONS IN BOTH ADULT AND JUVENILE INSTITUTIONS ARE DESCRIBED: IN SOME INSTITUTIONS, INMATES ARE ASSIGNED SLEEPING SPACE ON THE FLOOR, IN SHOWER ROOMS, IN HOSPITAL AND RECREATIONAL AREAS, AND IN ONCE-ABANDONED FACILITIES. ALTERNATIVES TO INCARCERATION ARE MANY AND VARIED: EARLY RELEASE, DIVERSION TO OTHER FACILITIES, MORE LIBERAL USE OF PAROLE AND PROBATION, COMMUNITY-BASED CORRECTIONS, AND RESTITUTION. THE ENTRIES ARE ARRANGED ALPHABETICALLY BY AUTHOR IN EACH OF THE TWO SECTIONS: PART I INCLUDES DOCUMENTS THAT DESCRIBE OVERCROWDED INSTITUTIONS, AND PART II PROVIDES EXAMPLES AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF ALTERNATIVES TO OVERCROWDING. A LIST OF RESOURCE AGENCIES IS APPENDED TO ASSIST READERS IN LOCATING ADDITIONAL SOURCES OF INFORMATION. A LIST OF SOURCES IS ALSO INCLUDED, AND ORDERING INFORMATION IS PROVIDED. |
