Extractions: Michael J. Russell, Acting Director, National Institute of Justice When the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) was enacted on July 26, 1990, a new era began in the quest to integrate persons with disabilities into the mainstream of society. The ADA is perhaps the most sweeping civil rights legislation passed since the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 nearly 30 years before. This law is predicated on the belief that persons with disabilities have traditionally been isolated and segregated and that this discrimination took many forms, including architectural, transportation, and communication barriers; overprotective rules; exclusionary standards; lesser services, programs, activities, benefits, jobs, or other opportunities; and outright exclusion from certain places and privileges.1 One purpose of the ADA is simple: "to provide a clear and comprehensive national mandate for the elimination of discrimination against individuals with disabilities."2 The goal is to provide the estimated 43 million persons with disabilities3 access to employment, to governmental programs, services and activities, and to public accommodations such as restaurants, hotels, theaters, and shopping centers. To achieve this goal, the ADA contains five sections designed to eliminate barriers in employment, public services, transportation, public accommodations, and telecommunication.

Seven Ways To Fix The Criminal Justice System Make drugs a public health problem instead of a criminal justice problem. Our ideasof rehabilitation usually revolve around education, job skills, and http://www.ru.org/artseven.html
Extractions: by Bo Lozoff Our present methods of dealing with criminals have not made society safer and crime-free, rather they have made the problems worse. A leading American prison reform activist tells what we can do reverse this trend. How can we reduce the frightening levels of crime and violence that plague out society today? The usual answer from politicians and the media is that we have to be tougher on crime. If we had the guts to crack down like, say, those Singaporeans, then we'd straighten this country out. But that's just a myth, and a dangerous one, because it is actually preventing us from solving the crime problem. Here's the reality: America now locks up prisoners at a rate five times greater than most industrialized nations, a rate of incarceration second only to Russia. The number of inmates in state and federal prisons has more than quadrupled, from fewer than 200,000 in 1970 to 948,000 in 1993. Prisoners currently sleep on floors, in tents, in converted broom closets and gymnasiums, or in double or triple bunks in cells that were designed for one inmate. I have visited about 500 prisons and, I can tell you, they are not country clubs (though they certainly are a luxury item: The average new prison cell costs $53,100 to construct). For the most part, they are terrifying and miserable places that will seem as shameful to us in a hundred years as the infamous nineteenth-century "snake-pit" insane asylums seem to us today.

Equality For You Act 1974 enables some criminal convictions to or forgotten about after a period ofrehabilitation. unlawful in employment, training, education, housing, the http://www.equality.org.uk/legal.htm
Extractions: There are laws on your rights to equality on disability, race, ethnic origin, colour, nationality (citizenship), sex, marriage, gender reassignment, harassment, equal pay and ex offenders. These rights mean it is unlawful to be treated less favourably on these grounds than another person would be treated. Equal Pay Act 1970 (amended by Equal Pay Regulations 1983) states that a woman should be paid the same as a man when she is doing the same, or broadly the same work, or when her work has been given the same value as his by a job evaluation scheme, and they are both working for the same employer. This legislation applies equally to both men and women. Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 enables some criminal convictions to become 'spent' or forgotten about after a period of rehabilitation. This period is a length of time from the date of the conviction. After this period a person is not normally obliged, with certain exceptions, to disclose a conviction when applying for training or employment.

Extractions: Part of the institutional routine involves prison discipline. There are numerous rules inmates are expected to follow. Many of these are designed to keep order, whereas others are designed to establish authority. Prison contraband is the focus of numerous rules in the prison. Such items can be used to make prisoners more comfortable, such as tobacco products, or to aid in their escape, such as weapons. Another aspect of prison life is sexual deprivation . Because of their isolation from the opposite sex, many offenders resort to same gender sex. To reduce such contacts within the prison, conjugal visits have been permitted in several state facilities. These visits permit the inmate and spouse to spend time together in private quarters on prison grounds, during which time they may engage in sexual relations. Another mechanism to reduce same gender sex and to increase control of male inmates is the coeducational prison. Men and women are housed in the same facilities. They eat, study, and work together, but sleep separately. The assumption behind this plan is that men tend to behave better in the presence of women. However, many of these programs have been eliminated or restricted because of jealousies and pregnancies.

Employment is found in government, the private sector, and nonprofit organizations. Government is the largest employer in the criminal justice field, with approximately 50% employed at the local level. Educational requirements vary greatly in this field. Advanced technology and increasingly complex legal issues have led to increased educational requirements, especially for positions with the federal government. The criminal justice field is moving toward specialization areas that will require continued or additional education and training. The major areas of specialization are technology, computer security, and intelligence. Broad areas of employment are: Law Enforcement: The primary responsibilities in this category are the maintenance of peace, the prevention of crime, and the apprehension of criminals.

Extractions: The Department of the Youth Authority is responsible for the protection of society from the criminal and delinquent behavior of young people (generally ages 12 to 24, average age 19). The department operates training and treatment programs that seek to educate, correct, and rehabilitate youthful offenders rather than punish them. The department operates 11 institutions, including two reception centers/clinics and four conservation camps. In addition, the department supervises parolees through 16 offices located throughout the state. The budget proposes total expenditures of $414 million for the Youth Authority in 2003-04. This is $12.2 million, or about 3 percent, below estimated current-year expenditures. General Fund expenditures are proposed to total $336.8 million in the budget year, a decrease of $17.8 million, or 5 percent, below expenditures in 2002-03. The department's proposed General Fund expenditures include $37.4 million in Proposition 98 education funds. The Youth Authority also estimates that it will receive about $75.3 million in reimbursements in 2003-04. These reimbursements primarily come from fees paid by counties for wards sent to the Youth Authority. The primary reason for the proposed decrease in General Fund spending in the budget year is due to projected decreases in the institution and parole populations.
Criminal Justice Q&A People with Mental Retardation in the criminal Justice System by Leigh Ann Davis How many people with mental retardation are in the criminal justice system? http://thearc.org/faqs/crimqa.html
Extractions: by Leigh Ann Davis How many people with mental retardation are in the criminal justice system? Do people with mental retardation commit crimes more often than people without this disability? What crimes are people with mental retardation usually charged with committing? What disadvantages do people with mental retardation face in the criminal justice system? As more people with mental retardation move out of institutions and into the community, their susceptibility to becoming involved in the criminal justice system as a victim, witness or suspect of a crime may increase dramatically. Individuals with this disability are frequently used by other criminals to assist in law-breaking activities without understanding their involvement in a crime or the consequences of their involvement. They may also have a deep need to be accepted and may agree to help with criminal activities in order to gain friendship. Many individuals unintentionally give "misunderstood responses" to officers, which increases their vulnerability to arrest, incarceration and possibly execution, even if they committed no crime (Perske, 1991). Some common responses from those with mental retardation that may effect their ability to protect their rights during police contact include the following. The person may: not want disability to be recognized (and try to cover it up) not understand rights (but pretend to understand) not understand commands be overwhelmed by police presence
