Chiefs remind justice secretary Chris Grayling that rise in inmates follows decision to close four prisons The Guardian, Wednesday 16 October A sudden rise in the jail population in England and Wales is threatening the stability of the system, prison governors have warned.

They say the spike in the number of inmates, to 84,, has led to some jails reaching their capacity just as the justice secretary, Chris Grayling, has ordered prison closures. Eoin Mclennan-Murray, the president of the Prison Governors Association PGA , said he was concerned that an increase of extra prisoners had come over the past four weeks, as four prisons had were earmarked for closure. He said the usable capacity of the prison system in England and Wales was 86, places, but many spare cells were in young offenders' institutions and women's prisons, and were unsuitable for adult male prisoners.

Dramatic increases in homicide rates followed rises in inequality, more young men in the population, greater availability of firearms, and increased drug use. Nevertheless, disarmament legislation may have helped reduce homicide rates in recent years.

Despite its very high rate of lethal violence, Brazil appears to have similar levels of general criminal victimization as several other Latin American and North American countries. Brazil has lower rates of drug use compared to other countries such as the United States, but the prevalence of youth drug use in Brazil has increased substantially in recent years.

They cannot easily be explained by enduring socioeconomic inequalities because these persist during boom and bust periods alike. Historical changes that may help to lower homicide rates in the long run sometimes cause homicide booms in the short term. Modern policing methods have helped to end homicide booms without first resolving underlying social problems, but this may be possible only when the conditions are propitious.

In , more than five million people in the United States were supervised in the community by the criminal justice system. Community-based corrections supervision is less expensivethan prison or jail and can be a source of positive change for communities. By keeping individuals in the community and offering supervision, intervention, and services that are responsive to their risk and needs to prevent reoffending, community supervision can improve public safety and, with it, the viability of neighborhoods that are most affected by crime and large numbers of people returning from prison.

About 50 percent of offenders will return to prison within five years Reducing recidivism, even by just 10 percent, can save millions. Rigorous research has demonstrated that some programs and strategies can improve public safety and reduce recidivism The health and social care needs of older prisoners are not all the same. It is broadly recognised that many prisoners have the biological characteristics of those who are ten years older than them; they may have chronic health and mental health disorders as well as disabilities which, in the community, would be typical among those who are significantly older.

As a result of this progression, the prison population is not only growing, but also aging. There is evidence that investing in prison education and training is worthwhile. For instance, a study assessing the costs and benefits of in-prison education to UK society found that the benefits were more than double the investment made.

Prison Or Treatment For the Mentally ill We should be supporting mental health, not punishing patients. We have about the same number of psychiatric hospital beds now as we did in Some of this 'deinstitutionalization' comes from the availability of medication and improved outpatient treatment, but most of the change is no more than a switch of institutions from hospital to prison.

State psychiatry is a mouse in the manger of an elephant, a barnacle on a Leviathan. The coercive giant that straddles our country and that feeds its maw with people who have serious mental illnesses is not state psychiatry. It is our vast prison system, which coercively confines hundreds of thousands of nonviolent, severely mentally ill people who have wound up there for want of adequate treatment Five times more people with severe mental illnesses are confined in penal institutions than are treated or confined in all psychiatric facilities combined in any given year.

In a typical year, according to the Department of Justice, over , people with severe mental illnesses are incarcerated in state and federal jails and prisons. Yet for the same period, only about 40,—60, people with such conditions reside in public psychiatric hospitals.

Congress could consider whether there are alternative ways to properly manage offenders convicted of committing relatively minor crimes without sending them to prison.

Data from BJS show that in FY over half of inmates entering federal prison were sentenced to three years or less. Given the relatively short sentences these inmates received, it is likely that they were sentenced for relatively minor offenses. One policy option Congress could consider is amending penalties for some offenses to allow more defendants to be placed on probation rather than being sentenced to a period of incarceration.

The US criminal justice system, even though it prizes the consistency and finality of sentences, makes room for judges to take a second look to assess the ongoing justice of a sentence. Prisoners cannot seek a sentence reduction for extraordinary and compelling circumstances directly from the courts.

By law, only the Federal Bureau of Prisons BOP, the Bureau has the authority to file a motion with a court that requests judicial consideration of early release. Although we do not know how many prisoners have asked the BOP to make motions on their behalf—because the BOP does not keep such records—we do know the BOP rarely does so. The federal prison system houses over , prisoners, yet in , the BOP filed only 30 motions for early release, and between January 1 and November 15, , it filed Since , the annual average number of prisoners who received compassionate release has been less than two dozen.

Re-offending blights lives and communities, as well as carrying significant social and economic costs: Around half of all crime is committed by people who have already been convicted of a criminal offence.

Crime Control Lessons from New York www. Some are funded by the state. And some rely on federal funding or private donations.

The field is constantly evolving as new problems emerge and new gaps in services are identified. A particular area of focus at the moment is using risk and needs assessments to allocate scarce resources where they are most needed. The latest research suggests that there needs to be a continuum of non-incarcerative interventions for offenders, with the most intensive options reserved for populations that are both high-risk and high-need Justice Policy Institute Finding direction: During this difficult economic time, the U. However, to date, alternatives to our current policies and practices which are contributing to these rates have not been implemented on a large scale.

Pew Center on the States State of Recidivism.

When excluding California, whose size skews the national picture, recidivism rates between and have consistently remained around 40 percent. The research done in the state of Washington demonstrates how sending nonviolent drug-offenders to prison actually costs more than the financial gains of the crimes averted.

Furthermore, incarceration actually increases the reoffense rate for some offenders. The financial impact of our growing inmate population is obvious when you consider the growth in corrections budgets is exceeded only by the growth in the Medicaid budgets. Ministry of Justice Adult re-convictions: Offenders are then matched to the Police National Computer and their criminal history is collated and criminal behaviour is tracked over the following one year. Any offence committed in this one-year period which is proven by a court conviction either in the one-year period, or in a further six months counts as a re-conviction.

This enables us to calculate the frequency rate, the number of most serious offences and the re-conviction rate. Prisoners per , inhabitants: Blow High Cost of Crime www. Shadd Maruna, Thomas P.

Increased literacy skills have the potential to improve the overall quality of life of these men and enhance society by reducing recidivism rates and the costs associated with incarceration. Survey data compiled by the Public Safety Performance Project of the Pew Center on the States, in partnership with the Association of State Correctional Administrators, indicate that as of January 1, , there were 1,, persons under the jurisdiction of state prison authorities, 4, 0. This marks the first year-to-year drop in the state prison population since The federal count rose by 6, prisoners, or 3.

The findings in this report should give policy makers reason to reflect. The price of prisons in state and federal budgets represents just a fraction of the overall cost of incarcerating such a large segment of our society. The collateral consequences are tremendous and far-reaching, and as this report illuminates with fresh data and analysis, they include substantial and lifelong damage to the ability of former inmates, their families and their children to earn a living wage, move up the income ladder and pursue the American Dream.

From to incarceration rates ranged between about and per , From around , however, the prison and jail population began to grow much more rapidly than the overall population, climbing from about per , in , to in , to in , and finally to by Figure 6 breaks down total corrections costs across the three levels of government and illustrates that by far the largest share of the costs of corrections are borne by state and local governments. State governments house about 60 percent of inmates and account for about the same share of total correction expenditures.

Local governments hold about one third of all inmates and make not quite one third of total corrections spending. The federal government, which holds less than 10 percent of the inmate population, spends just under 10 percent of total national corrections expenditures.

Estimating the cost to society of individual crimes is essential to the economic evaluation of many social programs, such as substance abuse treatment and community policing.

A review of the crimecosting literature reveals multiple sources, including published articles and government reports, which collectively represent the alternative approaches for estimating the economic losses associated with criminal activity. Many of these sources are based upon data that are more than ten years old, indicating a need for updated figures. This study presents a comprehensive methodology for calculating the cost of society of various criminal acts.

Tangible and intangible losses are estimated using the most current data available. The selected approach, which incorporates both the cost-ofillness and the jury compensation methods, yields cost estimates for more than a dozen major crime categories, including several categories not found in previous studies. Updated crime cost estimates can help government agencies and other organizations execute more prudent policy evaluations, particularly benefit-cost analyses of substance abuse treatment or other interventions that reduce crime.

We have experienced over 15 years of intense criminal justice hyperactivity. This intense and punitive political activity has had the effect of encouraging a more fearful and insecure population. It has raised unrealistic expectations about the role prison can play in securing a safer society. Prisons have become the stand-in for a health and welfare system which is also failing. Prisons have become vast warehouses for the dumping of people with problems society has failed to deal with - those with mental health needs, with histories of neglect and abuse, with drug and alcohol addictions.

The penal system is a huge drain on the public purse We believe parole administrators and practitioners have reached an important moment in time. The strategies represent the best thinking on sound supervision practice. In making this claim, we appreciate how hard engaging in change of this magnitude will be, and how difficult it is to accomplish meaningful and durable reforms in both policy and practice.
