Re: Questions about Sen. Webb's prison reform bill

The most effective assistance with overcrowding and increased costs would be a rational restructuring of the sentencing laws. Primarily, not incarcerating so many non-violent offenders. "Do you support a restructuring of sentencing such that fewer non-violent offenders will be incarcerated?"

Questions about Sen. Webb's prison reform bill

lwhyte — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 21:08:39 GMT

I'm going to be interviewing Sen. Jim Webb's press secretary about his proposed bill to "overhaul the criminal justice system" later in the week and I want to know what types of questions other members of the Corrections Community would like to see answered.

Sen. Webb is suggesting that the whole prison system is in need of reform and is proposing an 18 month study to decide what types of changes should be made.

I am the editor for the online corrections magazine, CorrectionsOne.com. I will be posting my whole interview on our website as part of a special report on Webb's prison reform bill.

What I want to do is provide members of Corrections Community with the opportunity to ask the senator their own questions (whether anonymously or not); to create an "open source" interview environment. Thus, if you have questions for Webb, please post them on this feed so I can ask them during the interview.

Here are a couple links with more information on what Sen. Webb is proposing:
- An article Webb wrote for Parade magazine: http://www.parade.com/news/2009/03/why-we-must-fix-our-prisons.html
- The full text of Webb’s bill: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/F?c111:1:./temp/~c111c5QrPU:e0:

Inmate Manipulation

Sayjack — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 21:03:38 GMT

I'm look for some suggestions on some books that deal with inmate manipulation of staff, particularly Correctional Officers. I viewed a power point from the "shared files" section but was looking for something more substantial. Any online resources would be of great help also. Sayjack
