Book Description
Corruption in the Division of Corrections Volume II captured the ongoing events in the life of a female ex-Correctional Officer II who was victimized inside the corrupt system of the Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services from 2015 to 2020. It exposed the obstacles she encountered on her road to seeking justice as a result of the wrongful termination of her appointment, denial of medical treatment, unpaid wages, and illegal medical documentations. The book further exposed the rot in other critical institutions- the Federal EEOC and the Civil Rights Commission, which she approached in search of justice as her case was shockingly compromised in both agencies. She has shown a lot of resilience in her consistency and determination to seek for justice inspite of the series of disappointments from the DPSCS, the Federal EEOC, and the Civil Rights Commission. The questions she asks are as follows: Is the system so corrupt that it cannot give her justice in the America of today? Is justice for her close by, still far in the future, or even never going to come?

Corruption in the Division of Corrections Vol. I
Author: Chinyere Udeh

ISBN: 9781736367803
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
Corruption in the Division of Corrections captures the life of a female correctional officer II who was victimized inside the corrupt system of DPSCS from 2015 to 2019. It tells of the magnitude of inhumane treatment she endured: the false medical report that was made against her by the state medical directors; intentionally denying of job opportunities; interference with her accumulative leave hours, paychecks, pay increase; illegal termination from the state service. She talks of the frame-up she experienced and witnessing some of the treatment made to other correctional officers. The book tells of the corrupt system of DPSCS that everybody knows but nobody talks about, the impact the corrupt system has created inside the correctional facilities alongside the sexual exploitation and trading sex for positions and protections. She also talks about the medical condition she suffered as a result of a long-term internalized trauma, of depressed mood and adjustment disorder caused by work-related stress. Lastly, she tells of her right to receive therapeutic treatment requested by the psychologist, but again, the DPSCS intentionally deprived her of it. Instead, they illegally terminated her and left her with nothing to fall back on while she is recovering.

Imprisoning Resistance
Author: Bree Carlton
Publisher: Institute of Criminology
ISBN: 9780975196755
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
Nominated in the True Crime Category for the 8th Davitt Awards. These awards recognise the best crime novels and true crime books written by Australian women, published in 2007. 29 October 2007 marks twenty years since the death of five prisoners in a riot and fire in the infamous Jika Jika high-security unit. This book resurrects these events and invites us to learn urgent lessons in our current age of supermax and privatised prisons, detention of asylum seekers and the controversial use of indefinite detention under the banner of a 'war on terror'. Imprisoning Resistance provides an experiential account of life and death in the controversial Pentridge Prison Jika Jika High-Security Unit in Victoria during the 1980s. One of Australia's first hi-tech supermax prisons, Jika Jika was designed to house and manage the system's 'worst of the worst' prisoners. Several years of deaths in custody, multiple escapes, assaults, murders, prisoner campaigns and protests, hunger strikes and allegations of prison staff brutality escalated in 1987 to a dramatic protest fire that resulted in the deaths of five prisoners. The prison was closed and a series of inquiries were commissioned. Bree Carlton revisits this uncomfortable past and reconstructs events leading up to and surrounding the fire and deaths, while critically analysing official responses to the discreditable episodes, crises and deaths that plagued Jika Jika.

Resistance Behind Bars
Author: Victoria Law
Publisher: PM Press
ISBN: 1604867884
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
In 1974, women imprisoned at New York’s maximum-security prison at Bedford Hills staged what is known as the August Rebellion. Protesting the brutal beating of a fellow prisoner, the women fought off guards, holding seven of them hostage, and took over sections of the prison. While many have heard of the 1971 Attica prison uprising, the August Rebellion remains relatively unknown even in activist circles. Resistance Behind Bars is determined to challenge and change such oversights. As it examines daily struggles against appalling prison conditions and injustices, Resistance documents both collective organizing and individual resistance among women incarcerated in the U.S. Emphasizing women’s agency in resisting the conditions of their confinement through forming peer education groups, clandestinely arranging ways for children to visit mothers in distant prisons and raising public awareness about their lives, Resistance seeks to spark further discussion and research into the lives of incarcerated women and galvanize much-needed outside support for their struggles. This updated and revised edition of the 2009 PASS Award winning book includes a new chapter about transgender, transsexual, intersex, and gender-variant people in prison.
