Talk:Prison reform

message: This article is absolutely terrible.  It's all about "theories of incarceration" and has nothing to say about the prison reform movement of the 1960s and 70s.  This is one of the worst articles i've seen on wikipedia. this is horrible i can't believe this web site.

replies: text: Perhaps moved.  I'm pretty certain there's another article on the subject.  However, the theories of incarceration section doesn't cite any sources, although you could probably find sources for it.
I moved a large portion of the article -- that which dealth with the goals of imprisonment -- to the general article on prisons.

message: If any one want to start on this before I find the time, I think there is enough information out there to have a section about research . Some promising intros: 
Center for Crime and Justice Studies at Kings College London questions reliability of Home Office research into crime reduction. http://www.kcl.ac.uk/depsta/rel/ccjs/pr-accurate-research-2006.html
Vitamin and fatty acid supplements may reduce antisocial behavior in incarcerated young adults. Randomized controlled trial and double bind. (a widely acknowledged 'high quality' study, which the Home offices has just ignored.) http://ebmh.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/full/6/2/41  http://www.fabresearch.org/view_item.aspx?item_id=421

message: Hello, 
I have recently evaluated this article for a class assignment. I've made the following notes about how it could be improved.
*Can be founded a little biased
*Though there are many sources, some either don’t work or can be opinionated
*Examples of prison reforms can be more detailed
*Check the sources and make sure they credible, unbiased, and work
*If you can, add some more history about prison reform and movements

thread_title:  Article Evaluation 

message: It's unclear what this sentence means:
 "It also focuses on ensuring the reinstatement of those whose lives are impacted by crimes." 
I went to the cited source looking for some context to determine to whom "those whose lives are impacted..." refers (prisoners, crime victims, victims families, all of the above?) but there is no mention of reinstatement on pages 8-9. Furthermore, a full text search of the Harris/Conley reference, using Google Books' "Search inside" tool to run a series of queries (searched for "reinstatement" as well as "reinstate" and "reinstated") returned zero matching results for all variations of the word.
