Yes, I have heard somethign like this before.

Nowadays, researchers have found the actual neural activities relating to drug dependence, and may be able to use this in creating a formula to heal dependence.

yes, a picture can actually cause drug dependency relapse.

re: What Works/Does Not Work in Reentry

Faaalu Iuli — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 02:25:33 GMT

In American Samoa, a Territory in the South Pacific, no work data or information is even available. No work for offenders and just nothing on this population. I'm interested in looking at some programs in rural, states, Territories or Tribal programs and efforts for those entering and exiting from prisons.

re: Supreme Court Rules on Lethal Injection Method

george — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 05:34:54 GMT

I think it should never have went to the supreme court. It was another delaying tatic used to try to post pone an convicted felony destiny. If they do the crime then they should accept the results of that crime. They have exhaused all their appeals; this was the only thing left that they could use to try and get public support. Well the victims that were left behind need closure. It's about time they ruled on the case. It's also about time the prison system started using the method to lower the cost of buildinig new prisons. If they executed the death row inmates it would make the rest of the inmates know that the prison is not a revolving door. If they spend time, get parole, or serve their sentence. Then the next time they come into the system the punishment should be more severe than the first time. I for one am tired of spending my hard earned money keeping the criminals up. Three meals a day, free medical and dental, and a roof over their heads without them doing a single days work. I am a single parent working production in a sewing factory. I work hard for the little bit of mney I earn. Yet I don't commit a violent crime nor do I sell drugs. I try to be a role model for my kids. Keep them off the streets. If every one on death row that has exhausted all their appeals should be gone, then that would save the tax payer millions of dollars every day. Quit playing around and do what most of the middle class people want. Less crime, less prisons. If something is not done, by the year 2000 their will be more criminals than there will be places to put them.

re: A Cogent Look at Offender Assessment and Rehabilitation

kathryn Seifert, Ph.D. — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 15:33:06 GMT

This is a great article and a great model for assessment and treatment for offenders. I would support everything in this article and take it one step further. Especially with juveniles, my research (and that of others) indicates widespread histories of childhood maltreatment in the juvenile justice population. Bessel Van der Kolk describes the negative effect of trauma on the development of basic skills in children. Sheldon Braaten has demonstrated a sequence of pro-social skill development that can guide the responsivity priciple. Family intervention is also neccessary for children and teens living in chaotic and violent families. Therefore, i reccommend a holistic approach to assessment and treatment in the juvenile justice population.

Hi, I'm currently writing a discussion/research paper on whether to implement an all female offender case load model for community corrections (in Australia) - can anyone offer thoughts / experiences of how this worked?

A very interesting and useful survey of the field.

re: Reentry Training Available for State Agencies

Keven Pellant — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 15:24:29 GMT

I am very excited and pleased to see Reentry or Risk Reduction Training for states who are considering how to educate large numbers of staff on evidence based principles and the change process that will entail in case management. Kansas really has benefited by being assisted in this way to move mass numbers of staff forward in a culture shift that would have taken us years to do without this training opportunity!

re: Stark Assessment: Time Is Running Out

Awareness — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 07:23:21 GMT

Of course we will run out of time when prisons seem to be more like camps than prisons. Inmates get free meals, medical, dental, visits, canteen, tv's, they get to play all day without learning responsibility. They don't even show up to their classes and they still manage to use what ever kinds of drugs they want. Many have cell phones which use from inside the walls to plan criminal activities out in the communities. Our hands are tied. They have too many rights inside the bars that prevents us from being able to help them learn to program. Remember they are there because they were not able to function in normal society. How can anyone expect that giving them all these privileges they will rehabilitate? It only keeps them away from the community while incarcerated. It teaches them not to have to do anything for survival. They do not have to work to be fed or get medical treatment. Instead they get two hot and one cold meal a day. They get to exercise and play board games all day. What and how would they learn any different if their inmate rights within the walls make it impossible, it takes away their opportunity to learn responsibility for when they retun to our communities. That is why the recidivism is so high, they do not know how to function in our society. Sending them out of state is not fixing the problem. You are only making the prison gangs stronger by sending them out you are spreading them all over the US. Releasing them early will not reduce cost. They will commit more crimes and will come back into the system were you will have to pay again more due process fees. There is no easy way to fix the problem. To fix it you must face it and be aware of what really happens inside the walls to know how to fix it. The inmates rights inside the prison are backfiring on them, they are keeping them from having a chance of being a functional citizen in our society.

re: New Jersey Abolishes Capital Punishment

William Rich — Sun, 23 Dec 2007 07:44:02 GMT

If anyone deserves an eye for an eye, those commiting premeditated murder certainly do. My heart goes out to victims' families who have waited years for justice to be carried out only to be shuned by the same government who promised it. I see lethal injection a much less heinous way to die than many of the ways murder victims have. Not to mention that a preponderance of murder cases plea out to manslaughter or 2nd degree murder offered by state attorney generals offices throughout the US. Oh, and by the way, let's underpay our law enforcement officers so we can afford to keep these murderous venoms around for the rest of their natural lives. Shame on you, the Supreme Court, New Jersey my native state, or any others that have or anticipate a repeal of Capital Punishment.
