The system consists of three tiers; Wireless Undergr...

This Article introduces to legal scholarship the first sustained discussion of prison abolition and what I will call a “prison abolitionist ethic.” Prisons and punitive policing produce tremendous brutality, violence, racial stratification, ideological rigidity, despair, and waste. Meanwhile, incarceration and prison-backed policing neither redress nor repair the very sorts of harms they are su...

CONTEXT Interruption of antiretroviral therapy (ART) during the first weeks after release from prison may increase risk for adverse clinical outcomes, transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and drug-resistant HIV reservoirs in the community. The extent to which HIV-infected inmates experience ART interruption following release from prison is unknown. OBJECTIVES To determine the p...

Everydayness links the histories and crescendos of our lives. Once we lose this "glue", many of our reference points for linking these histories are lost and the structure and patterns of our lives start to unravel. For families separated by prison, telephone calls and letters offer a form of glue, but punitive structures place many constraints on this type of communication. These constraints r...

HIV prevalence in sub-Saharan African prisons has been estimated at two to 50 times that of non-prison populations [1], while average tuberculosis (TB) incidence in prisons worldwide has been estimated at more than 20 times higher than in the general population [2]. Overcrowding— resulting in and exacerbating food shortages, poor sanitation, and inadequate health care—contributes to the spread ...

BACKGROUND Women in contact with the prison system have high health needs. Short periods in prison and serial incarcerations are common. Examination of their experiences of health care both in prison and in the community may assist in better supporting their wellbeing and, ultimately, decrease their risk of returning to prison. METHODS We interviewed women in prisons in Sydney, Australia, usi...

Self-handicapping behavior exhibits a robust gender effect: Men but not women consistently choose behavior that they believe will impair their performance, even when that performance is important to them. Because previous research shows self-handicapping to occur when esteem is threatened, we propose that high status individuals will be more likely to self-handicap than will those of lower stat...

Purpose. This paper is a survey examining beliefs about cues to deception held by prison inmates, prison personnel and students. In line with the ideas about more beneŽ cial learning structures in the environment of criminals and Ž ndings from previous studies, we predicted that the beliefs held by prison inmates would be most consistent with the general pattern found in studies examining objec...
