Inmate Video Visiting / Visit Scheduling and Reservation Systems - GRANTS

Ray Maifeld — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 18:09:45 GMT

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department operates jail facilities located throughout the County of Los Angeles, which encompasses more than 4,000 square miles. Currently, in order to visit an inmate incarcerated in the jail system, family members must transport themselves to the facility where the inmate is located and wait in line for an opportunity to visit, which is not guaranteed in the “first-come-first-served” system. In some cases, families, including young children, must travel nearly 100 miles, arrive very early in the morning and wait in line for hours, never being sure they will even get to visit their loved one. A visit scheduling and reservation system would guarantee their visiting time and eliminate long waits in line. A video visiting system would allow them to visit an inmate located at a remote facility, from a local facility, or even their own home, eliminating long drives. Based on this, the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department is exploring the possibility of obtaining grants funding to implement this project. Does anybody know of any grant sources that might fund such a project? Thanks in advance for your assistance. (This could have positive implications for ADA, Traffic Reduction, Mothers/Fathers with Children, the Elderly, etc.) Also, does anybody know of available systems, or vendors, that provide these capabilities?

What are the Title XV Standards for Juvenile Detention Facilities? Are these standards specific to California or, are they Federal guidelines?

AM/FM Radio that operates off of a watch battery?

LOCKDOWN — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:51:25 GMT

Anyone know of a source to buy AM/FM radio headphones that operate off of a watch battery? I'm looking to eliminate AA and AAA batteries from the unit. I've heard of this technology being offered...just have been unable to find a source. Thanks in advance.

Contraband Detection

Inmate Visitation list

Glenn Kurtz — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 20:12:09 GMT

Does anyone list the inmate's visitation list on a web page? The inmate can list up to four adults on thier list. We get a lot of telephone calls from the public asking if they are on a list. I have the ability to make the information part of my web page by inmate name. Does anyone else do this and if so what problems have you experienced?

Lightning

knuthm — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:39:09 GMT

I would like to find out what policies other systems have for closing yards when lightning is in the area. We sent out some information on that for a safety week and it has raised questions on what our policy should be. So I am trying to gather information from those who may already have dealt with this issue.

Change the people or change the system?

Joshua Stengel — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 21:20:18 GMT

As we consider the idea of “Transforming the Workforce” in corrections, I have to wonder if changing thousands and thousands of people is easier than just changing the system and letting “natural selection” take place. Seem to me that transforming the average person would take longer than the current average career span in corrections.

Even at 10%+ unemployment levels, I’m betting recruitment is still tough in corrections. There is a whole pool of talent seeking employment right now-good quality people that the private sector just can’t afford. Neither can corrections, you say? I say the right people doing the job right will be cheaper and more effective than the wrong people doing the wrong job all day long.

I would cast a vote for turning this into the “Transforming Employment in Corrections” topic. Corrections needs to be profession capable of attracting the best and brightest and not just the cheapest or most willing. A sustainable employment environment in corrections is the real key to transforming the workforce IMHO (in my humble opinion).

Why outsourcing?

alexwu — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 06:03:39 GMT

What do you guys think of outsourcing the commissary services? What are the benefits of doing that and are there any drawbacks?

firearms

bdhpag — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 20:46:23 GMT

I am looking for a statistic or a requirement stating what the percentage of staff have to be firearms qualified in a Max security facility. It is an Audit requirement but I can't find anything that gives a percentage. Does anyone have anything?

Please providing infomation regarding jail/prison commissary

minimi — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 22:06:12 GMT

Hi all, I am a graduate student at Temple University, and I'm working with a small group of students to better understand how prison/jail commissaries work. We wish to know: - How friends and families of inmates send inmates money/gifts; - How the commissary system works within jails and prisons; - What inmates typically buy; - What inmates wish they could buy; - The ways in which commissaries fail to provide inmates with what they need make their lives more confortable. If you currently work in a prison, or if you have a friend or loved one that is currently or has recently been imprisoned, could you please take the time to fill out this anonymous survey? It should only take about 10-15 minutes to complete. Your input will be added to a growing body of research that is devoted to improving the commissaries in jails and prisons across this country. The survey is located here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=E8DX6eEIXhs9my9gaE0Q3g_3d_3d Thank you so much, and have a wonderful day.

Suicide Awareness/Prevention At Work and at Home

BillBop47 — Thu, 23 Nov 2006 21:21:45 GMT

am currently a Unit Manager at the Federal Prison in McCreary County, KY. One of my collateral duties is that I am the Crisis Support Team Leader. Additionally, through the Kentucky Department of Public Health, I was recently trained as a Community Crisis Responder. I am also involved in suicide prevention in the State of Kentucky. Specifically, I am pleased to be on the Awareness Committee for the Kentucky State Suicide Prevention Planning Group. This group was formulated by the state and recognized by the governor per legislation to put together our states suicide prevention plan. I am also a Certified Question, Persuade, Refer(QPR) GateKeeper Instructor. A suicide prevention technique, which is very appropriate for all adults and teenagers. Although my efforts are supported by my employer, my efforts and training in suicide prevention are of a volunteer nature. My only motivation is to help save lives. I sincerely believe that suicide is our nations most preventable cause of death .

I have been fortunate to have been able to provide suicide awareness presentations/training to the Bureau of Prisons, KY DOC, Indiana Correctional Association, and most recently for staff at a CCA Jail facility in Indianapolis. I also do local organizations, colleges, and other appropriate groups. I am happy to say that the response and evaluations from these efforts has been excellent.

I have been working in corrections for the past 30 years, with the past 14 being with the BOP. However, Suicide prevention is my passion, due to the suicide death of my 16 year old son in 2002. In my presentation, I not only stress prevention at work, but staff and their families.

I am requesting you forward this mail to anyone you deem appropriate. My presentations and training are hands-on. I do not believe Suicide Prevention training's should be totally computer based. I wish to offer other correctional agencies and organizations my information...thanks for your thoughts and considerations....Bill

TV Headphone System?

Rick Mroz — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:26:33 GMT

Hello: We are thinking about installing some type of TV headphone system in our future direct supervision day rooms. Purpose would be to improve the working environment for correctional staff posted to the unit and allow the inmates to listen to the TV in privacy. Do any of you currently use or know of a facility where the inmates listen to the TV using some type of headset or earphones? It would be great to have a manufacturer's name or supplier's name, details of how the system operates and any security concerns that have arisen. Thank you, Rick Mroz South West Detention Centre Project Windsor, Ontario.

Employment programs for Ex-Felons in Illinois?

ex-felonswifey — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 20:04:14 GMT

Can anyone out there please help us? My husband was released from prison in April of 2006 from the Vienna Correctional Center in Illinois. We live in DuPage County and we'd like to move to Will County soon. It has been extremely hard for him to find a job. All we want to do is move on with our lives and eventually buy a house of our own for our two children to grow up in. We are 36 years old. Does anyone know of any programs, grants, or employers that will hire ex-felons in our area? We are so desperate to live a normal life again!!!! It seems like all of the programs and grants are only geared to people who live in Cook County. Please respond as soon as possible.

Thank you!!

Need help on a research project regarding inmate's wants and needs in a correctional facility

minimi — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 06:26:58 GMT

Hello, everyone. I am a second year MBA student. Four of my teammates and I are currently doing a student consultant project for a client who is looking into entering the commissary sector. In addition, we are seeking any opportunity that can help facility administrators to better manage and operate the facilities. At the research stage, we are trying to understand inmate and warden's need and wants to help us better understand the key problem inside the correction facilities. We are very interested in interviewing wardens, correctional facility guards, and administrators. I was wondering if any of you are willing to have a short conversation with us to help us gain more insights and ideas for our project? We are in the Philadelpia area, we can meet in person or phone conference if you are from outside of Philadelphia. Thank you.
