State Listing Of Selected State And Federal Justice System Officials And: Fill & Download for Free

I actually wrote my undergraduate thesis on the cost differentials in private versus public prisons, so this is a topic I am very passionate about.Louisiana created one of the first private prisons when it leased its state penitentiary to a private company in 1844.An inmate who wrote his memoir about the experience said this:“[Once privatized, the jailers] laid aside all objects of reformation and re-instated the most cruel tyranny, to eke out the dollar and cents of human misery.”As others have said here, it is extremely morally depraved to create a profit incentive to imprison people. If you are really interested in understanding private prisons, then I would recommend you read this expose[1] in Mother Jones (magazine) by Shane Bauer.This incentive created the Cash for Kids scandal, where a Pennsylvania judge sentenced more than 2000 CHILDREN to juvenile detention for as little as cursing in exchange for money…Let’s not even consider the kind of conflict of interest that simply exists, there is no denying it, when police pension funds depend on private prison profits to secure their own retirement.All of these are moral reasons, but at the end of the day it all comes down to one thing: money. In fact, private prisons fail there too.[2]Private prisons save most of their money by paying their staff less. They achieve this by stifling unions, and dealing with high turnover. Some people in the comments have gone so far as to suggest that being a prison guard is a low skill job. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, the inexperience created by private prison corporate practice has lead to systemic failure. For instance…In Tennessee, private prisons run by CoreCivic experienced twice as many murders and four times as many homicides as state-run prisons. In order to avoid the obvious disparity in quality, Tennessee ordered public prisons to reduce costs ( i.e. be just as crap as the private prison), ostensibly to save public money, but really to protect the political career of whoever in the state’s government wanted private prisons so badly they are blowing up the public system to cover it up as you read this sentence.Private prisons have on average one guard per 6.9 inmates, compared to 4.9 in public prisons. That’s staff total. At Winn Correctional in Louisiana active staff sometimes leaves us with a ratio of 1 guard per 176 inmates. This has at times caused prison administration to ally with gangs in the prison to maintain order, instead of the prison staff. A particular prison using this practice earned the nickname “Gladiator School.” Some prisons even went so far as falsifying documents in order to meet the minimum staffing requirements set out in their contracts (sometimes listing a guard as having worked a 48 hour shift to meet the requirement). Invariably, when one state official begins an investigation into this, another public official will kill it… the investigation not the official.Private prisons do not have to take any old inmate the State gives them. They are allowed to select the ones that will fill their beds. As a result private prisons overwhelmingly select the lowest-security-risk inmates, and those with the least healthcare problems (which they would have to pay for otherwise). Remember the murderpalooza in Tennessee prisons run by CoreCivic? That’s even with a low-security risk population. Here’s a list of all the politicians that this dystopian company bribes to continue functioning. The “cheap” inmates get funneled into the private system, and then…We turn around and say, “Oh look how much cheaper private prisons are than public prisons,” in order to justify more privatization. If you had to equally distribute people housed (and I use the word housed deliberately, because for a segment of society prison has replaced residential mental health services, and affordable housing) in jails according to security risks and healthcare costs across private and public systems, then the so called “savings” evaporates. Consequently, I think this is why training in formal logic is so important, because this idea even in the abstract seems to be the victim of circular reasoning (but of course logic and efficiency are never the entire basis of policy decisions).Private prisons also have inferior (or nonexistent) reform programs offered to inmates during incarceration.[3]Let’s say the judge tells you that eligibility for parole depends on you completing five anger management classes.Well, the private prison makes it as hard as possible for you to take those classes, because there is no regulation on program access, and that in turn means you have to stay longer in the prison, and that by extension means the prison “makes” more money. This makes their bosses (the corporate shareholders) happy because the stock goes up and they can sell, or the company will pay them out an increasing dividend. It is called the fiduciary duty. The concept of fiduciary duty to shareholders is also why trickle down economics is legally impossible, and only a plausible concept for people who don’t actually understand how corporations work.On the other hand, the public prison wants you to take those classes ASAP, because the sooner you do the sooner they can parole you; meaning the sooner they can stop spending tax money on you. That makes their bosses (the politicians) happy, because they can say they are saving tax money during elections.So yes, Elizabeth Warren is right to call for a ban on private prisons. They accomplish nothing but the utter corruption of our society’s moral fabric.Update:Private Prison and Criminalization of MigrantsIt’s so awesome to see how many people have found the information her worth noting, and I hope you’ve found the chance to share it in conversation with friends. It’s because of this increasing awareness that private prisons have faced increased scrutiny from state administrations. I hope you’ll also find this information worth noting.While increasing scrutiny has been successful in diminishing the number of U.S. citizens in private prison detention by some degree, the reduction in profits has caused private prisons to adapt. They’ve done so by entering into extended contracts with the federal government ostensibly to detain people without citizenship, and whom the government has targeted, prior to their deportation.I say ostensibly, because while the Trump admin, and his leftovers still acting under Biden during the transition, were pushing for the arrest of people (and funneling them into camp run by private prison companies)[4] they did not actually proceed with deportation.For some reason, it seemed as if the government was pursuing a policy supposedly aimed at deportation, but that actually resulted and maintained a period of extended incarceration; and private prisons were intimately insinuated both to the political actors facilitating the policy, but also in the socio-cultural reinforcement that underpinned the “justice” of it.Of course, delayed and indefinite incarceration of people with dubious access to civil rights attorneys (I actually am reflecting on a case I worked where the guy was taken to a secret ICE jail and am just making the connection now) is music to the ears of a private prison. Capitalism.Biden Administration Ending Federal Contracts with For-Profit PrisonsThe Biden administration has taken a great step in ending federal contracts with for-profit prisons.[5] We should never have a profit incentive to imprison people. It is anti-social to say the least.The next step should be for the Biden administration to set a prison reform committee. The committee should invite people formerly imprisoned in private facilities, community organizations, and other interested people to relate their experience with this system, and how it could be better. My answer to that question would be, if it were gone, but I recognize some people consider this to be a more nuanced discussion, so we need to at least be having that discussion.Footnotes[1] Private prisons are shrouded in secrecy.

Original Question: Only 4 people have ever been declared "Public Enemy #1" by the FBI. Why don't they still do that ranking system?I think there were a few more than four, but as you stated just four by the FBI, before they went to the Ten Most Wanted Fugitive list. The Chicago Crime Commission first used the term for Al Capone.Al Capone, declared "Public Enemy No. 1" by Chicago in 1930John Dillinger, declared "Public Enemy No. 1" by the FBI in 1934Pretty Boy Floyd, declared "Public Enemy No. 1" by the FBI after the death of DillingerBaby Face Nelson, declared "Public Enemy No. 1" by the FBI after the death of FloydAlvin Karpis, declared "Public Enemy No. 1" by the FBI after the death of NelsonJoaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, declared "Public Enemy No. 1" by the Chicago Crime Commission in 2015Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes (alias "El Mencho"), declared "Public Enemy No. 1" by the Chicago Crime Commission in 2018The term was used so extensively during the 1930s that some writers call that period of the FBI's early history the "Public Enemy Era". Dillinger, Floyd, Nelson, and Karpis, in that order, would be deemed "Public Enemy Number 1" from June 1934 to May 1936. Use of the term eventually evolved into the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list.The FBI's website describes the bureau's use of the term: "The FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice made use of the term, 'Public Enemy,' in the 1930s, an era in which the term was synonymous with 'fugitive' or 'notorious gangster.'"[8] It was used in speeches, books, press releases, and internal memoranda and remains in usage to this day.Today we have the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. They are not ranked because all of them are the most wanted in their own right and way.The FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives is a most wanted list maintained by the United States's Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The list arose from a conversation held in late 1949 between J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the FBI, and William Kinsey Hutchinson,[1] International News Service (the predecessor of the United Press International) editor-in-chief, who were discussing ways to promote capture of the FBI's "toughest guys". This discussion turned into a published article, which received so much positive publicity that on March 14, 1950, the FBI officially announced the list to increase law enforcement's ability to capture dangerous fugitives.[2]Individuals are generally only removed from the list if the fugitive is captured, dies, or if the charges against them are dropped; they are then replaced by a new entry selected by the FBI. In ten cases, the FBI removed individuals from the list after deciding that they were no longer a "particularly dangerous menace to society". Machetero member Víctor Manuel Gerena, added to the list in 1984, was on the list for 32 years, which was longer than anyone else.[1] Billie Austin Bryant spent the shortest amount of time on the list, being listed for two hours in 1969.[3] The oldest person to be added to the list was Eugene Palmer on May 29, 2019, at 80 years old. On rare occasions, the FBI will add a "Number Eleven" if that individual is extremely dangerous but the Bureau does not feel any of the current ten should be removed.[4] Despite occasional references in the media, the FBI does not rank their list; no suspect is considered "#1 on the FBI's Most Wanted List" or "The Most Wanted".[1]The list is commonly posted in public places such as post offices. In many cases, fugitives on the list have turned themselves in on becoming aware of their listing. On May 19, 1996,[5] Leslie Isben Rogge became the first person on the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list to be apprehended due to the Internet.[6] The FBI maintains other lists of individuals, including the Most Wanted Terrorists,[7] along with crime alerts, missing persons, and other fugitive lists.On June 17, 2013, the list reached a cumulative total of 500 fugitives having been listed.[8] As of May 2020, 523 fugitives had been listed, ten of them women, and 488 of them were captured or located (93%), 162 (31%) of them due to public assistance.[9]Osama bin Laden was on the list from 1998 to 2011,Number 456. Usama Bin LadenBin Laden was wanted in connection with the 1998 bombings of the United States Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and Nairobi, Kenya. These attacks killed over 200 people. On May 1, 2011, Bin Laden was shot and killed during a US Government/Military operation in Pakistan.He was also on the Most Wanted Terrorist list

Well, I’m one of them, so I’m qualified to answer this. But to be clear, here are a few of my answers and articles on the subject:Why has Trump’s support collapsed in Arizona?Republicans dropped Nixon yet support Trump, but why?Lake Travis Trump flotilla sinking an almost perfect metaphorSwing states are accelerating a strong Blue shiftWhy is Trump attacking WHO and trying to re-open the economy?Fixing policing in the USA is a wicked problemA fair and impartial scoring of Trump’s words on wind energyRepublicans will lose #Election2020 if they don’t accept climate changeUS rural dwellers aren’t coronavirus-immune but are acting that wayTrump’s treatment of Acosta part of rise of conspiracy ideation in USATrump and Zinke blame non-existent eco-terrorism for California wildfiresCOVID-19 Will Reshape Politics In The USA, & Our Climate Will BenefitMichael Barnard's answer to What is Joe Biden's plan to combat global climate change?Michael Barnard's answer to Will Joe Biden’s $2 trillion clean energy infrastructure plan be effective?Michael Barnard's answer to Is Biden’s environmental plan economically possible?This likely gives you an idea of my areas of concern: climate change action, intelligent responses to COVID-19, and improving race relations through thoughtful police reform.The United States is over history the single largest producer of greenhouse gases which cause climate change, and continues to be the second largest global emitter.The USA is more responsible for climate change than any countryUS leadership and urgent action is required on climate change. Under Biden, it will happen. Under Trump, it will continue to languish. CleanTechnica asked me to do a policy-based assessment report card of Obama vs Trump vs Biden which I finished yesterday. It’s unpublished as of the time of writing this answer, but it’s unsurprising that Trump received almost entirely Fs across the categories of my assessment, while Biden and Harris did much better, although not good enough in my opinion.Climate change impacts every country in the world, including Canada. We were choking on wild fire smoke in Vancouver, BC a couple of weeks ago, something that never occurred before the past four years. The change in wildfire frequency, duration and severity is due to climate change. I spent part of this year assisting Natural Resources Canada with a soon-to-be-published lengthy report on leading practices on planned retreat in the face of climate change impacts, in large part because retreat is now the only adaptation option that makes sense in many places due to our previous inaction.Biden will address climate change. Trump would make it worse. I do my little bit to help the USA come to its senses in November.On COVID-19, the USA is a global outlier. Trump’s botching of the response is a global cause of horror and consternation. I live 30 miles from the border of the United States, one I’ve crossed possibly hundreds of times in my life, the longest undefended border in the world. A border which is closed to all but critical freight now because Canada doesn’t want to suffer more during this pandemic than we have to, and America is a disease-ridden plague factory right now. Most countries have closed their borders to Americans even as they open them again to other countries.I have form on this too, by the way. I helped build the worlds’ most sophisticated outbreak management solution a few years ago, one used across Canada and in the Middle East. I’m engaged with two startups doing COVID-19 return-to-work solutions. I’ve worked with and work with epidemiologists and public health experts. I was a major global technology company’s Healthcare Architect for Canada for a couple of years until my departure from the firm two years ago.The world needs a strong USA with a good economy. Canada, the mouse in bed with the elephant of the USA, needs a strong USA with a good economy more. Biden will bring sanity back to COVID-19 responses, just as he did in the Obama years when they dealt intelligently, rationally and calmly with H1N1 and Ebola. Trump will continue to make things worse, encouraging his supporters to gather unmasked, holding indoor rallies that are superspreader events and being more directly the cause of hundreds of thousands of US deaths than any President outside of wartime has any reasonable claim to.The USA will likely see 400,000 deaths by January 1st, 2021. That’s about as many Americans as died in World War II.Biden is necessary for the United States, Canada and the world. So I do my little bit to help Americans make the obvious and sane choice this year.Black Lives Matter is possibly the biggest social justice movement in the United States since Lincoln freed the slaves and fought a war over it. 26 million Americans had marched by the beginning of July for it. That’s 8% of the population. That’s Texas.Black people are disproportionately likely to suffer violence and death at the hands of police officers in the USA. That’s due to at least four systemic problems that while not unique to the USA, are more clearly represented there than in other countries. Some of them have spilled over into Canada, because once again we are the mouse in bed with the elephant and often look south for solutions for problems. Our carding policing issues are a variant of pretextual traffic stops, and have similar negative results.We’ve had our own Black Lives Matter protests here. I’m a strong supporter of the movement through the means I have at hand, mostly writing.And Joe Biden has kneeled to speak to Black Lives Matter protestors. He’s selected Kamala Harris, a Black and East Asian woman as his running mate, something I’ve also written about. With Obama, he started police reform. Harris, a woman of color, was the second-most powerful law enforcement official in the United States, and understands the wicked problem of policing better than almost anyone. She dealt with the consequences of California’s three strikes rule, moving ahead of the country to mitigate its worst aspects. They will be able to move the needle. They will be able to help police organizations shed responsibilities they shouldn’t have, improve their training, shed white supremacists in their ranks and improve their ability to keep the peace.Trump, on the other hand, has leaned into racism and been a full-throated supporter of police violence. Another Trump term will cause even more racial violence and see no reduction in police brutality.This isn’t about bad cops or good cops. Both exist. But the system makes it hard for the good cops to act as good cops, and makes it easier for the bad cops to thrive right now. That needs to change.Biden and Harris will help that change.This isn’t something which spills over the borders of the United States in the same way that climate change and COVID-19 do, but my desire for justice for Black people in the United States and Canada isn’t based on negative consequences for me, but on fair treatment for everyone. Black Lives Matter. Once again, I do my little bit from across the border to help Americans make the sensible decision in November.The list of things where Biden and Harris will inarguably be better than Trump and Pence is long. Environmental protection unrelated to climate change is an obvious example. Better federal fiscal management is another, with no foolish tax cuts for decamillionaires and oligarchs. More intelligent use of American military force. Better treatment of long-standing allies. No more pandering to dictators. No more foolish trade wars. A better global partner with the rest of the countries in the world.Canadians want a sane, healthy United States. Your problems spill over our long and undefended border. We have no desire to be a 51st state, but our economies and people are tied together as if we were.Canadians mostly want Biden because we want the USA to be better than it has been for the past four years. Canada and the world need that, almost as much as America needs that.
