23/7 [sound recording]: Pelican Bay and the rise of long-term solitary confinement / by Reiter, Keramet.(CARDINAL)622479;
Read by C.S.E. Cooney.Originally meant to be brief and exceptional, solitary confinement in U.S. prisons has become long-term and common. Prisoners spend twenty-three hours a day in featureless cells, with no visitors or human contact for years on end, and they are held entirely at administrators' discretion. Keramet Reiter tells the history of one "supermax," California's Pelican Bay State Prison, whose extreme conditions recently sparked a statewide hunger strike by 30,000 prisoners. This book describes how Pelican Bay was created without legislative oversight, in fearful response to 1970s radicals; how easily prisoners slip into solitary; and the mental havoc and social costs of years and decades in isolation. The product of fifteen years of research in and about prisons, this book provides essential background to a subject now drawing national attention.

A survey of driver improvement programs in the fifty states : final report / by Lynn, Cheryl.(CARDINAL)311173; Holt, Nathan.(CARDINAL)311408; Vermillion, Emily.(CARDINAL)311407; Virginia Transportation Research Council.(CARDINAL)195142;
In the fall of 1989, the content and statutory/regulatory provisions for other states' driver improvement programs were examined. This was done by both surveying the driver improvement managers in the various states and by conducting an analysis of their statutes and, where possible, their administrative rules and regulations. It is clear from these analyses that Virginia has one of the most complicated driver improvement systems in the country. The first analysis of information gained through these surveys involved the innovative practices in place in other states. These innovations fall into five categories: (1) point system innovations (in terms of both positive and negative point assignments), (2) innovations in scheduling, (3) new types and uses of treatment, (4) licensing innovations, and (5) statutory and policy innovations. Once these innovations were catalogued, attention was turned to the mechanisms by which the Virginia program could be changed. Statutory and regulatory data indicate that a majority of states permit their administrative agencies more discretion in administering driver improvement programs than is the case in Virginia. Most of these jurisdictions permit the administrative agency to promulgate point values by regulation. Alternatively, where points are not used, administrative agencies are allowed to determine the type and frequency of traffic violations that result in various driver improvement actions. Also, other states tend to allow their agencies more discretion in the number, type, and sequencing of treatments, often establishing the program in statute and describing it in regulations. Recommendations were made concerning possible statutory language to give the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles more flexibility in administering the program.
