Behind Bars - Aging prison population ch
The prison population is growing at a record pace—over 7 percent annually—but for the first time, it’s graying even faster. The Department of Justice estimates that by the end of next year the U.S. prison population will exceed 2 million. And like society at large, prisoners are getting older, sicker, and more costly to care for. “We are seeing more and more elderly prisoners, and it’s going to extend out for the foreseeable future,” said Rebecca Craig, MPA, RN, past president of the American Correctional Health Services Association. “We are going to see entire prisons getting licensed as acute care settings.” |

PrisonSucks - Research on the prison system
Prisonsucks.com is a clearinghouse for useful, verifiable statistics about the crime control industry. Too often prison activists use statistics that are out of date, provided without citation or simply wrong. One of these days the public will start listening to prison activists, so let's be prepared to win without being sidetracked by arguments over defective statistics. In some cases, the numbers we need don't exist. In others, the facts exist but activists don't know where to find them. Now you do. Start at prisonsucks.com. The site was founded in February 2001 as a private tool to keep track of prison research superior to a stack of news clippings. In December of that year the site was picked up by the Prison Policy Initiative and considerably expanded. |
