INCA RCEFLATION
The
ballooning or rapid increase in prison population.
This
all points up that incarceflation
is with us:
Even though incarceflation is not yet listed in the dictionaries,
except Urban Dictionary, the condition definitely exists in the
United States. On December 31, 2004, 2,135,901 prisoners were held
in Federal or State prisons or in local jails - an increase of
2.6% from yearend 2003, less than the average annual growth of
3.4% since yearend 1995. There has been a steady increase over the
years.
THE PRESENT SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING. There is a persistent rise in the prison population. Parole is being held out a an anti-inflationary measure. Reform is needed. Many think the present Federal Justice System is unjust. There is a retention of prisoners who can be released, those with no violence, no priors, no fines, no restitution. The present system lacks rehabilitation programs. Incarceflation is caused by the misconception that prison sentences reduce crime.

OLD
PEOPLE IN PRISON.
HARDWICK, Ga. -
Razor
wire topping the fences seems almost a joke at the Men's State
Prison, where many inmates are slumped in wheelchairs, or leaning
on walkers or canes.
It's becoming an increasingly common
sight: geriatric inmates spending their waning days behind bars.
The soaring number of aging inmates is now out pacing the prison
growth as a whole.
Tough sentencing laws passed in the crime-busting 1980s and 1990s are largely to blame. It's all fueling an explosion in inmate health costs for cash-strapped states.

CHANGE IS NEEDED NOW
"One in thirty-three American children, and one in eight African American children, go to sleep each night denied access to a parent because that parent is behind bars. One out of every ten children has a parent under criminal justice supervision - in prison, on probation, or on parole.
Despite these staggering numbers, however, the children of the incarcerated remain largely invisible." "In All Alone in the World, award-winning journalist Nell Bernstein provides an intimate and at times heartbreaking look into the lives of these children and their families.
Having spent the last five years researching and writing about the children of prisoners, Bernstein explores many different sides of the issue, ranging from children's experience at the time of their parents' arrest, to unnecessarily harsh laws and policies that force even low-level offenders to forfeit parental rights, to proposals for alternative forms of punishment that take into account the status of prisoners who are also mothers and fathers."-- Children of Incarcerated Parents, Nell Bernstein.
