- TITLE: Women Correctional Officers in California, 1979 .
- This study examined women correctional officers working in the 11 institutions for men operated by the California Department of Corrections in 1979. For Part 1, Census, researchers conducted a census of all 386 female correctional officers working in these institutions to collect demographic characteristics and baseline data. For Parts 2 (Staff) and 3 (Inmate), a survey was administered to staff and inmates asking their opinions about differences in performance between male and female correctional officers. ... For Parts 5 (Female) and 6 (Male), researchers gathered job performance data for female correctional officers in 7 of the 11 institutions, as well as a matched sample of male correctional officers. ... Other variables measure attributes such as age, weight, and height, and record career information such as date and location of permanent assignment as a correctional officer, any breaks in service, and other criminal justice work experience. ... Parts 2 and 3 present information on staff and inmate evaluations of male and female correctional officers performing specific roles, such as control work officer, yard officer, or security squad officer. ... Questions were also asked about whether inmates' or officers' safety was endangered with female officers, whether women should be hired as correctional officers, and whether female officers were gaining acceptance in correctional facilities.
- SAMPLING: Part 1 was a department-wide census of every female correctional officer working in 11 California male inmate institutions. For Parts 2 and 4, officer survey responses and profile data were collected from male and female correctional officers in seven institutions. A proportionate stratified random sample was conducted, using the seniority listing of correctional officers. The sample was stratified by sex and institution to be representative of all correctional officers in California. ... For Parts 5 and 6, job performance data from 168 female correctional officers were matched (using age and job tenure) with 168 male correctional officers. ...

- However, if a person is diagnosed with AIDS while residing at a correctional institution, the correctional institution is required to report the AIDS case to the local jurisdiction if the person in question has resided at the correctional institution for 6 months or longer.

- When you arrive at the 2004 ASA Annual Meeting’s San Francisco hotel, you will be approximately 18 miles from California’s oldest penitentiary, San Quentin State Prison. Constructed with convict labor between 1852 and 1856 as “an answer to the rampant lawlessness in California” (according to the California Department of Corrections, or CDC), the facility occupies 432 acres of prime real estate in Marin County, an affluent area north of the San Francisco Bay. ...
- Apart from its enviable location and aside from housing the 608 men sentenced to death in the state, San Quentin resembles many other medium-security California prisons, operating at 180% capacity with a daily population nearing 6,000 male inmates. The institution employs 915 correctional officers and 633 “free staff,” with San Quentin’s first female warden, Jeanne Woodford, at the helm since 1999. ...
- ”2 San Quentin is one of 33 state prisons in California, 20 of which have been constructed since 1984. ...
- Unlike the Teachers’ Retirement Fund, Medi-Cal, and California’s education, family, and mental health programs, the CDC escaped widespread and deep budget cuts in 2003-04 and continues to expand with the construction of a new maximum-security institution. By comparison, although the University of California’s enrollment increased by a fifth over the last three years to 192,000 students, it suffered a $450-million budget decrease for 2004 (bringing the state contribution to $3 billion) and thus is now borrowing money for the first time in a decade to cover operating costs, raising student fees, and delaying the opening of its tenth campus. ...
- In 2000, two-thirds of California’s 119,000 parolees were “returned to custody,” the majority of them for failing to meet administrative requirements such as maintaining gainful employment, steering clear of other ex-convicts, or paying off their fines and court-ordered restitution. ...

- , food treats or money) that are otherwise eliminated when correctional authorities “toughen up” their regimens. Meanwhile, as funding for social services like domestic-abuse intervention or drug treatment is cut, low-income women begin to view the penal arm of the state as a peculiar social agency of last resort and learn to use the correctional apparatus as a blunt instrument to “manage” violent or substance-addicted men. ...
- For all the years they spend “doing time” together, inmates and their kin are unlikely to be cognizant of the high concentrations of infectious disease among correctional populations relative to the general population.

- Even during the depths of this recession, California had difficulty filling correctional officer positions. ... Correctional officers have been demonized. ...
- The recidivism rate for parolees in California is proof of how backward California's correctional system has become. ... And that is what is wrong with California's correctional system. ...
- In the California Department of Corrections, it's been going on so long that it's generational, with children who go in as visitors showing up a few years later as "customers. ... The latest statistics show sizable reductions in California's projected prisoner population for the first time in years. ...
- The question is: Which ones? What if correctional institutions had to compete against each other to stay open?.
- During the initial classification, his age, crime, sentence, criminal history, educational level, military service (and whether honorably or dishonorably discharged) and so forth are assessed, and he is assigned a number of points to determine to which type of institution, and which security level, he should be assigned, with higher points requiring higher security.
- But what if these two keys - the CDC numbers and the classification points - were used to track each institution's rate of success? What if similar institutions had to compete with each other for prisoners, based primarily on parolee outcomes, so that those institutions with the fewest recidivists would stay open, while those with the fewest programs and interventions would close?.
- What if, to be bold, the prisoner's, the prisoner's family's, society's and the correctional officers' interests were in alignment? The officers are on the tier every day; what if it were in their interests to be a positive influence on their charges, seen as role models instead of as the enemy? What if correctional officers got promoted for encouraging prisoners to get an education or a vocation, maintain family ties, stay clean and sober, get treatment for addictions. ...
- Other criteria might include operating costs (as compared to institutions housing similar populations); percentage of the prisoner population actively engaged in education, vocation and self-help programs; the number of Form 602s filed to initiate complaints against staff, lawsuits filed by or against staff; quality of health care; number of suicides, riots and violent incidents; community involvement with the institution as reflected by the number of volunteers and nonprofit organization staff members entering the institution to provide services; and number of prisoner visitors.
- Certain correctional institutions could not be easily replicated, in particular those providing hospital and hospice care. ...
- But there is no question that the system must be changed, and that all of us would be the beneficiaries of a system that provided positive reinforcement, not just to prisoners and parolees, but to correctional officers. It might even make it easier for California to fill those correctional officer positions. ...
