He remembers the murky East River water below him, the stench of mold, and a sinking feeling that soon turned literal. https://apnews.com/article/nyc-bronx-jail-boat-close-rikers-9d552d4cda48b58bdb141a40dffc8df5?

Members phkrause Posted December 10, 2023 Author Members Share Posted December 10, 2023 High-profile attacks on Derek Chauvin and Larry Nassar put spotlight on violence in federal prisons Derek Chauvin was stabbed nearly two dozen times in the law library at a federal prison in Arizona. Larry Nassar was knifed repeatedly in his cell at a penitentiary in Florida. The assaults on two notorious, high-profile federal prisoners by fellow inmates in recent months have renewed concerns about whether the chronically understaffed, crisis-plagued Federal Bureau of Prisons can keep people in its custody protected. Read more. Why this matters: The attacks on Chauvin and Nassar, among dozens of other assaults and deaths involving lesser-known inmates, are symptoms of larger systemic problems within the Justice Department’s largest agency that put all 158,000 federal prisoners at risk. They include severe staffing shortages, staff-on-inmate abuse, broken surveillance cameras and crumbling infrastructure. The violence has challenged a perception — repeated by some lawyers and criminal justice experts quoted in the news media when Chauvin was sentenced last year — that federal prisons are far safer than state prisons or local jails. An ongoing Associated Press investigation has uncovered deep, unreported problems within the Bureau of Prisons, including rampant sexual abuse and staff criminal conduct, dozens of escapes, chronic violence, deaths and severe staffing shortages that have hampered responses to emergencies, including inmate assaults and suicides.

Members phkrause Posted January 31 Author Members Share Posted January 31 Prisoners in the US are part of a hidden workforce linked to hundreds of popular food brands A two-year AP investigation found that everything from grains, eggs, beef and milk have been grown, harvested or produced by incarcerated people. They are among America’s most vulnerable workers, some getting pennies an hour or nothing at all. If they refuse to work, they can jeopardize their chances of parole or face punishment. They also are often excluded from protections guaranteed to almost all other full-time workers, even when they are seriously injured or killed on the job. Read more. Why this matters: Tracing goods produced or harvested by prisoners in the U.S. can be a challenge. So, in some cases, the Associated Press followed trucks, finding that products wind up in the supply chains of everything from Rice Krispies cereal and Ball Park hot dogs to Gold Medal flour. They are on the shelves of most supermarkets, including Kroger, Costco and Whole Foods. The AP sought information from all 50 states, through public records requests and inquiries to corrections departments, linking hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of transactions to agriculture-based prison labor in state and federal facilities over the past six years. Many of the companies that buy directly from prisons are violating their own policies against the use of forced or prison labor. But it’s completely legal. Enshrined in the Constitution by the 13th Amendment, slavery and involuntary servitude are banned – except as punishment for a crime.

Members phkrause Posted February 13 Author Members Share Posted February 13 Wall Street’s New Prison Scam As part of a growing effort to stop prison telecom monopolies from charging exorbitant fees for calls between prisoners and their families, last year Minnesota became one of the first states to make all phone calls free for prisoners.

Members phkrause Posted February 23 Author Members Share Posted February 23 📈 Mapped: Prison population rising Data: Bureau of Justice Statistics. Map: Kavya Beheraj/Axios The U.S. prison population rose 2.1% in 2022 — the first increase in almost a decade, Axios' Alex Fitzpatrick and Kavya Beheraj report from Justice Department data. Why it matters: Despite years of declines, the U.S. prison population remains extremely high compared to the era before the "war on drugs" and "tough on crime" politics. 🧮 By the numbers: 1.23 million Americans were in state or federal prison in 2022, according to the DOJ. That's up from 1.21 million in 2021, but down from 1.57 million in 2012.
