Lockdown New York: Disciplinary Confinement in New York State Prisons: A Report by the Correctional Association of New York
Publication year:
2003
| Cataloged on:
Oct. 31, 2006
ANNOTATION: Findings form visits to lockdown units and structured interviews of inmates confined in these units are supplied. Eight sections are contained in this report: executive summary; introduction; areas of concern; well-run units in New York; programs to improve or expand; out-of-state model; and recommendations. One of the "disturbing" realities of disciplinary lockdown is that over 50% of suicides in New York prisons occur in 23-hour lockdown units, even though these units house less than 10% of the general population.
