Extractions: Ethan Nadelmann, drug policy reform activist and former Princeton professor, spoke to students yesterday about building a political movement to end the war on drugs while also discussing his role as an activist within the movement. Nadelmann said that the government's current drug war is "doing more harm than good," arguing that non-violent drug use should be treated "primarily as a health issue, not a criminal justice issue." He addressed the need for harm-reduction intervention that would treat drug offenders instead of incarcerating them. Nadelmann's movement has called upon ballot initiative legislation to reform drug policy at the state level. In Arizona and California, two such initiatives were passed to make treatment available to non-violent drug offenders rather than sending them to jail. In the case of the California initiative, proposition 36, 61 percent of the voting population supported treatment and was willing to double state funding for that treatment, according to Nadelmann. Even though funding was doubled, taxpayers saved a total of 1.5 billion dollars over five years for not having to expand the prison system. "We can't be a drug-free society. The real challenge is learning to live with drugs while at the same time minimizing their harmful effects," he said. Whereas the United States continues to spend money on making our society "drug-free," Nadelmann argued that the issue needs to be viewed more realistically. Regarding drugs, he said, "it's gonna be produced legally or illegally one way or another." Because, as he said, "you can't change people's desires," the goal of the government should be to minimize harm to drug users.

Extractions: Special to the National Catholic Reporter M With nearly 2 million people incarcerated, the growth of the U.S. prison population has dramatized the severe racial imbalances in the justice system, inequities that begin with enforcement strategies and carry through the court system and sentencing. Mandatory sentencing has stripped judges of discretionary authority that historically has resided in that position and handed it over to prosecutors. And the clamor for more punishment from a frightened electorate, say the critics, has incited politicians to weigh into the justice system repeatedly in recent years, often sacrificing long-term wisdom to vote-friendly short-term fixes. Growth of for-profit prisons The overwhelming majority of that growth has occurred in the United States. The Private Corrections Project of the University of Florida in Gainesville notes that 10 years ago there were just under 11,000 private prison beds throughout the world. Today, that figure stands at 138,000 in 188 facilities worldwide, most of them in the United States. In 1998, according to the project, the capacity of private prisons in the United States was 116,923 in 160 facilities owned and/or operated by 14 companies. The largest company is CCA with more than 67,000 beds in the United States. The state with the most privatized prisons is Texas with 43.

She wants legislators to immediately pump $26.4 million into the Department of Corrections as a stopgap measure.

Extractions: The Associated Press AUSTIN (AP) - State lawmakers expressed concern Thursday about a rising number of crimes being committed by ex-convicts. They also warned Texas Department of Criminal Justice Director Wayne Scott to take better fiscal control of industries involving prison labor. TDCJ and the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles were under review by the Sunset Advisory Commission, which determines if state agencies should be continued. TDCJ received an overall favorable review from Sunset Advisory Commission staff members who compiled a 222-page analysis of the state's largest agency as well as the Board of Pardons and Paroles. But TDCJ, which has an operating budget of more than $2 billion and 39,000 employees, received close scrutiny from lawmakers about accounting of its prison industries and for a recidivism rate that increased from 35 percent in 1984 to 53 percent in 1992. In Texas, the recidivism rate is calculated as the percent of inmates returning to prison within three years of their release.

Why can't you find that on a grocery store shelf? Why can't I ever remember how simple it is to make? (Not 'easy'; standing in place for the better part of an hour is not an 'easy' thing for me.)

Extractions: Lex Communis has put the ball into my court. As part of a more indepth discussion on the anti-Catholic standard being applied to Pryor he states: On the other hand, if a juror expresses a willingness to follow the law and consider all options that the law permits, then bouncing the juror would be impermissible. For example, if a prosecutor made it his practice to use his peremptories on Catholic (or Quaker) jurors who had stated their willingness to follow the law, that practice could and would be challenged as a basis for obtaining a new trial. [I'll defer to CrimLaw on this point, though.] Hmmm . . . The first thing which comes to mind is this quote from Darrow on whom to choose during voir dire: Nowadays we don't question religion blatantly (at least not in the courts I practice in). We don't ask, "Are you a member of the Society of Friends or a Catholic?" Instead, in capital cases witherspooning is done to eliminate those who do not possess the "proper" belief in the death penalty which includes

Extractions: Perhaps nothing highlights our society's contradictory attitudes to criminal justice more than juvenile justice policy. We are lead to believe that our youth are vulnerable innocents who must be protected from the depradations of adults and institutions and who band together in gangs, 'baseball caps on backwards', in order to terrorise law abiding citizens. The fact that those from dysfunctional homes and at high risk of abuse are the most likely to hang around in the streets attracting accusations of criminal intent simply adds to the paradox. The way in which so much of the rhetorical imagery in this area is that of Los Angeles style 'color gangs', something that has never existed in Australia, would seem to indicate that the US media has had a strong influence on the development of the NSW juvenile justice debate. Net widening is the phenomena whereby initiatives intended to divert people away from the criminal justice system actually serve to bring a whole new class of people into the process. It is depressingly common in NSW and recently enacted legislation impacting on bail for drug offenders is likely to provide another textbook example. Perhaps its most spectacular manifestation to date has resulted from the way the warning and cautioning provisions of the Young Offenders Act of 1997 have been enforced.

Extractions: December 15, 2002 Of the headaches Bob Riley will inherit when he takes over as Alabama's governor on Jan. 20, perhaps the one most likely to become a migraine is the state's underfunded and overcrowded prison system. "The whole system is broken, from one end to the other, and not because people who are working in it aren't doing the best they can," said Rosa H. Davis, Alabama's chief assistant attorney general. Across the state, roughly 1,600 inmates have been in county jails more than a month, awaiting the next available prison bed. Frustrated sheriffs facing expensive and dangerously crowded conditions in their own facilities have lately resumed taking busloads of inmates and simply leaving them at Kilby Correctional Facility near Montgomery, first stop for most of those entering the state prison system. Montgomery County Circuit Judge William Shashy said Thursday that the unscheduled dumping of inmates must stop, but allowed sheriffs to bring an extra 100 inmates a week to Kilby beyond what the Department of Corrections has authorized, as long as there is notice and the transfer is "orderly." Prison officials aren't sure where they'll put the new prisoners. Meanwhile, U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson has called Tutwiler Prison for Women near Montgomery a "ticking time bomb" because of overcrowding. Responding to a lawsuit brought by inmates, he has set a Dec. 30 deadline for the state to deliver an improvement plan for Tutwiler, where nearly 1,000 women occupy an old, crumbling facility designed for 400.
