A state board that oversees correctional facilities decided last Thursday to allow Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall in Downey to continue to house incarcerated young people; the Board of State and Community Corrections's evaluation was that the juvenile hall had met the minimum requirements on staffing levels and safety checks. In making the decision, the Board of State and Community Corrections also found that the Los Angeles County Probation Department's efforts to meet use-of-force training and other requirements were improving. This follows the state regulatory body's notice in February that the correctional hall would need to close if these demands weren't met. Today on AirTalk, we update listeners on how the juvenile hall got to this point with LAist mental health reporter Robert Garrova. We also hear from Jonathan Byrd, 2nd Vice President & Chief Steward for the L.A. County Deputy Probation Officers' Union, and Milinda Kakani, Youth Justice Director for Children's Defense Fund – California. With files from LAist; read Robert's latest story here. We reached out to the L.A. County Probation Office, but they were unable to provide a representative to join the program.

Today Cecilia interviews Jose Armendariz, a man incarcerated at the age of 16. Below is the profile he shared with us. My name is Jose Armendariz. I am a 30-year-old Mexican and Salvadoran-American man. I have been incarcerated since the age of 16. At 16, I was tried as an adult and sentenced to 80 years to life. While incarcerated, I have come to embrace what the late Congressman John Lewis called “good trouble.” As I have grown older, I have come to realize that simply expressing my beliefs in social justice does not create change. This motivated me to become a student, writer, and organizer. Whether it cost me my liberty or my life, I will always stand up against injustice. I earned a paralegal certificate while behind bars. I received material in the mail, studied, and completed self-guided coursework. After earning my certificate, I helped an undocumented incarcerated person who was facing deportation apply for asylum. In 2020, I became an inside organizer with Transforming Justice Orange County (TJOC) and started working at the ACLU SoCal. My work has included reporting conditions of confinement issues, advocating on my behalf and that of others in custody, opposing jail expansion and backwards criminal justice propositions, and voter education and registration behind bars. As an inside organizer, I have provided recommendations about the direction of campaigns and shared information with other incarcerated people. My written and audio work has been used to provide public comment at Board of Supervisor and Board of State and Community Corrections meetings to advance demands that center on the wellbeing and needs of people behind bars. My op-eds have been published by the Voice of OC, JURIST, and Chispa, and my experiences have been written about in La Opinion, Cal Matters, and LAist. I also regularly participate in community webinars and panels and share my experiences with students, organizers, and advocates. My lived experience, commitment to racial and social justice, and interpersonal skills have allowed me to make valuable contributions to policy campaigns in OC and beyond. In 2020, I participated in TJOC’s Reimagine Justice in OC workshop series. I was a guest speaker in two workshops. In the same year, I also supported ACLU SoCal’s voter education and registration program called Unlock the Vote. I educated other incarcerated people about voting rights and helped eligible people fill out registration applications. This year, I was a speaker for the California Correctional Crisis: Mass Incarceration, Healthcare, and the COVID-19 Outbreak Symposium organized by UC Hastings Law School. Throughout these experiences, I have developed leadership and discipline which has allowed me to support other incarcerated people in resolving conflict and raising grievances. Upon my release, I would like to pursue a degree in journalism or creative writing to expose the inhumanity of jails and prisons and uplift the experiences of incarcerated people to inform policy, legislative and organizing work. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/designedconviction/support

A prison governor becomes good mates with a former inmate and even gives a speech at his wedding. In the fourth episode of Behind the Walls: Rehabilitation, crime author and former journalist Michael Duffy talks to former inmate Damian Cuff about the friendship he has formed with Governor Mark Kennedy. Damian spent 19 years in-and-out of prison for a range of crimes including armed robbery, kidnapping and drug use. “Normally blokes get out and they go back to the same area, the same people that they always hung with and got in trouble with,” Damian says. “I was given an opportunity before I got out here. I did works release and I still work for that company now - they offered me a position if I was willing to stay in Bathurst and what better opportunity than to start fresh. “I'm still mates with Kenno (Mark) because Kenno, he knew about me, but he didn't want to make me feel like I was a criminal, or I was different. I was just one of the boys playing football.” Behind the Walls is produced by Corrective Services NSW, part of the Department of Communities and Justice.

If you treat inmates like animals, they'll act like animals. What happens when they get out of jail? Would you want them living in your suburb? In the third episode of Behind the Walls: Daily Life, crime author and former journalist Michael Duffy learns how inmates – and staff – spend a typical day at prisons including Cessnock, Dawn de Loas and Bathurst correctional centres. Macquarie Correctional Centre prison officer Liz Sears tells Michael: “Essentially our job as a prison officer is to make our community safer, and in order to do that we need to give these inmates as much chance as possible to re-enter society and be safe, because they will be living next door to us. “We are not giving them any more than what they deserve or any more than anyone else on the outside deserves, we are just giving our community as a whole, the chance to be safe.” Behind the Walls is produced by Corrective Services NSW, part of the Department of Communities and Justice.

Meet the prison officers who manage Australia's worst criminals and you'll soon learn why they hate being called ‘guards'. In this first episode of Behind the Walls: The Job, crime author and former journalist Michael Duffy takes listeners inside Bathurst, Wellington and Lithgow correctional centres to hear from officers about what it's really like inside NSW prisons. Michael spent six months recording the series at 11 correctional centres and four Community Corrections offices. “I was a court reporter for years but I had no idea what happened to convicted offenders when they were taken off to prison – like many people, I was just glad it was someone else's job to look after them,” he says. “Also, like many people, I thought prison was just about locks and security. For this podcast, I've gone to talk with real prison officers and discovered that their jobs – and they themselves – are about much more than that.” Behind the Walls is produced by Corrective Services NSW, part of the Department of Communities and Justice.

In this episode I talk with Jeff Hamilton. At the time of the interview, Jeff was working as the Victorian State Manager for White Lion. Jeff was passionate about working with at risk young people in his role at White Lion, an organisation that works with young people in the youth justice and out of home care system. Jeff talks about the different programs offered by White Lion and the importance of patience, tolerance and resilience when working with young people and how these are passed on to young people using role modelling and mindfulness. A lot of these young people have histories of emotional, physical and sexual abuse and a lot of trauma. White Lion case manage around 2500 young people and without White Lion their situations would worsen. The organisation is very focused on sustainability and being able to support the young person over a period of time. This allows them to have long term ongoing beneficial effects in their lives. Jeff shares some really inspiring stories about young people who have gone on to gain employment and stayed in that employment for five years or more and have done so because White Lion gives people a second chance. Jeff talks about the media’s role in how the public perceive young offenders and how if we are able to change this perception to be one that views them as vulnerable young people who have been through a lot, rather than bad young people, then we can be part of helping them on a positive journey and pathway.Jeff now works as a youth coordinator for Cumberland Council.

Marietta Martinovic is a senior lecturer in Global Studies at RMIT and the first Australian academic to complete the Inside Out Prison Exchange Program training in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 2008. We talk about how Marietta came to be studying and teaching in corrections and her involved in Inside Out and how it took her eight years to get it up and running in Australia. Inside Out is a program where ‘Inside’ students work alongside ‘Outside’ students within a prison environment for an entire semester. Marietta talks about what a day in the Inside Out program looks like for the students involved, where the lived criminal justice experience meets the text book experience. For the students involved it’s not just about the criminal justice system it’s about personal growth with student’s often saying ‘This is life changing’. Marietta discusses the Think Tanks that have emerged from Inside Out, where past students from Inside Out come together in the prison on a voluntary basis and have become advocacy groups; working on projects to either improve the incarceration experience or reduce the likelihood of reoffending after incarceration. Marietta said: ‘If you believe in something, keep at it, don’t give up, there’s always a way.’ You can learn more about the Inside Out Prison Exchange Program by heading to the RMIT website or check out Marietta’s RMIT profile to contact her for more information.

This episodes raises some significant policy questions:given that parole ineligibility periods are long in Canada and increasing with back to back ineligibility periods, isn't the absence of some "faint hope clause" or some mechanism to override mandatory ineligibility periods cruel and unnecessary given that the person is under sentence for life regardless of where it is being served? See Senator Pate's Bill C-208 which proposes judicial discretion to reduce mandatory parole ineligibility periods?if a person has been leading a positive and constructive life in the community for decades, shouldn't there be some relief from parole conditions and monitoring?shouldn't 'correctional plans' be adjusted to reflect that correctional objectives have been met and, if not, that correctional objectives change as lifers age?

UFO author Stanley Romanek sentenced to 2 years to halfway house for child pornography possession Article link: http://www.coloradoan.com/story/news/2017/12/14/ufo-author-stanley-romanek-sentenced-2-years-halfway-house-child-pornography-possession/952799001/ Four months after his conviction for possession of child pornography, Romanek was sentenced to two years in Larimer County community corrections, a halfway house program for criminal offenders. Friends and family of the 55-year-old Loveland UFO author who says he is an alien abductee spoke of a man who was selfless and caring and would not hurt anyone. Prosecutors described the lengths of deception and denial he took to avoid a guilty verdict and blame anyone but himself. Blanco acknowledged Romanek's and his supporters' statements and said she had no doubt that he had some good in him. But still, considering the materials found on his computer over a period of time, along with the continued denial and deception, "there's a good argument for you to go to prison." She reminded Romanek that there was no longer a presumption of his innocence. But she said there may be some hope for rehabilitation, and therefore, he would be sentenced to Community Corrections based on recommendations from multiple professionals. Stephen Hawking wary of mysterious flying object, says it may be ‘interstellar spacecraft' Article link: https://technology.inquirer.net/70419/stephen-hawking-wary-of-mysterious-flying-object-says-it-may-be-interstellar-spacecraft This artist's impression shows the first interstellar asteroid: Oumuamua. This unique object was discovered on Oct. 19, 2017, by the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope in Hawaii In October, scientists discovered a massive, cylindrical object visiting our solar system, which has been dubbed “Oumuamua,” a Hawaiian term that means “a messenger from afar arriving first.” The unidentified flying object has become the subject of fascination among astrophysicists—primarily for its dubious origin. “Researchers working on long-distance space transportation have previously suggested that a cigar or needle shape is the most likely architecture for an interstellar spacecraft, since this would minimise friction and damage from interstellar gas and dust,” he was quoted as saying in a report from the Daily Star. “While a natural origin is more likely, there is currently no consensus on what that origin might have been, and Breakthrough Listen is well positioned to explore the possibility that Oumuamua could be an artefact,” he added. Hawking's findings, meanwhile, comes from a scientific body called Breakthrough Listen, a £74-million (P5.02-billion) search for intelligent alien life, which uses the world's largest maneuverable radio telescope. The project is based in Green Bank in West Virginia, USA, and is currently focused on tracking Oumuamua's movement.

Those experiencing thoughts of suicide can get help from: - The 24-hour National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255). In Washtenaw County, Michigan: - Ozone House, a 24-hour hotline for youth, at 734-662-2222. - University of Michigan Psychiatric Emergency Services 24-hour hotline, at 734-936-5900. The Washtenaw County Community Mental Health crisis team, at 734-544-3050. “Suicide Prevention and Addiction” was presented on January 31, 2017, by Raymond Dalton, MA, CAADC; Coordinator, Dawn Farm Outpatient Services. The prevalence of suicide attempts and suicide completion among people with alcohol/other drug addiction is significantly higher than in the general population, and the period of early recovery from addiction is especially high risk. Family, friends and professionals are often strategically positioned to recognize potential suicidal thinking and intervene to help. Learning about the signs of suicidal thinking and how to intervene when a person may be contemplating suicide can reduce the barriers to suicidal individuals obtaining help and potentially prevent suicide deaths. This program will raise awareness of the prevalence of suicide among people with addiction, describe signs of suicidal thinking, and discuss effective ways to offer support and help to people who may be contemplating suicide. About the presenter: Ray Dalton is the Coordinator for Dawn Farm Outpatient Programs, including Dawn Farm’s Youth and Family Services, Community Corrections and Outpatient Treatment programs. Ray began his work with Dawn Farm as a detox counselor and later worked with Dawn Farm as an Outpatient Therapist and Community Corrections Outreach Program Coordinator. Prior to working for Dawn Farm Ray recruited, trained and supervised volunteer counselors to answer the suicide prevention hotline for the state of Kansas. He received his master’s degree in counseling psychology from the University of St. Mary and his bachelor’s degree from the University of Kansas. This presentation is part of the Dawn Farm Education Series, a free, annual education series developed to provide accurate, helpful, hopeful, practical, current information about chemical dependency, recovery, family and related issues. The Education Series is organized by Dawn Farm, a non-profit community of programs providing a continuum of chemical dependency services.

The Idle No More movement began late in 2012 after the Harper Government passed their massive omnibus budget Bill C-45. Four women, Nina Wilson, Sheelah Mclean, Sylvia McAdam and Jessica Gordon all shared a vision in which people can help protect Mother Earth, her lands, waters and people. The women began discussing the possible impacts that some of the legislation would carry if people remained idle. To them, it became evident that women MUST do something about the apparent colonial, unilateral and paternalistic legislation being pushed through Canada's parliamentary system. They began by calling a rally to inform the public that Bill C-45 intended to give the minister of Indian Affairs unprecedented power and they also informed the public on other legislation that may affect and ignore the treaties made with the crown, thereby impacting water, land and people in harmful ways. The women then helped other communities to coordinate efforts to hold similar rallies with the same goal in mind. These rallies took place all across the country and culminated when a National Day of Solidarity and Resurgence was called for December 10, 2012. This was an enormous grassroots event that never in history had seen so many nations and diverse groups of people come together. The speaker will elaborate on why many individual bills relating specifically to First Nations People within Bill C-45 are of particular concern. Speaker: Faye Morning Bull LLB Faye Morning Bull's Blackfoot name is Natoamiskapiakii, Holy Sunrise Woman. She is a member of the Piikani Nation, part of the Blackfoot Confederacy whose members are signatories to Treaty Seven. Faye is of Blackfoot, Cree & Nez Perce descent. She attended the University of Lethbridge where she completed her Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in Native American Studies. During and after completing her degree, she worked with the Peigan Research Department on Specific Claims and Treaty rights issues. Faye finished her Bachelor of Laws Degree at the University of Calgary. Prior to attending Law School she also had experience working in Community Corrections, as a Probation Officer. Faye has an understanding of oral history as she is a Canadian Nez Perce descendent of the White Bird's people who came into Canada when Chief Joseph surrendered in the Bear Paw Mountains of Montana. Faye practices law and she has recently established her own law firm, Indigenous Law.

A closer look at the Nov. 6 City of Ann Arbor ballot proposalsIn addition to the mayoral and Council candidates, Ann Arbor voters will be asked to consider two City of Ann Arbor proposals on the Nov. 6 Election Day ballot.Proposal A is the Park Maintenance and Capital Improvements Millage Renewal. On Aug. 9, 2012, Ann Arbor City Council voted unanimously to place on the Tuesday, Nov. 6 ballot a renewal of the city's parks maintenance and capital improvements millage at the rate of 1.1 mills. City Council also voted unanimously to reaffirm the policies for the administration of the Park Maintenance and Capital Improvements Millage. Between 60 percent and 80 percent of the annual millage funds support city park maintenance activities. Park maintenance activities include forestry and horticulture, natural area preservation, park operations, park equipment repairs and recreation facility maintenance. Between 20 percent and 40 percent of the annual millage funds are designated for city park capital improvements in the following areas: active parks; forestry and horticulture; historic preservation; neighborhood parks and urban plazas; pathways, trails, boardwalks, greenways and the Huron River watershed; recreation facilities; and park equipment acquisitions. This millage renewal proposes 1.10 mills and estimates total revenue in the first year of the millage of $5,052,000. The estimated annual cost to a household in the first year of the millage renewal, based on a mean taxable value of $108,600, is expected to be $119.46, or slightly less than $10 per month. The current cost to a household for the expiring millage based on a mean taxable value of $108,600 is $119.13. Additional information, fact sheets, FAQs, administrative policies and millage project status tables are available online. Or, if you have questions regarding the millage, please email the parks staff. The Wednesday, Oct. 10 episode of Conversations on Ann Arbor Community Television Network will also feature Parks and Recreation Services Manager Colin Smith sharing facts about this ballot proposal. Watch this episode on Channel 19 on Comcast Cable or streamed on the Web.Proposal B is the Art in Public Places Millage. On Monday, Aug. 20, 2012, City Council voted unanimously to place on the Nov. 6 ballot a proposal for a publically funded Art in Public Places Millage at the rate of 0.10 mills. The new Art in Public Places Millage would be used to fund a range of art initiatives in Ann Arbor, including permanent installations; temporary art events; performance art; and exhibitions. The proposed millage would replace the existing funding mechanism for public art. The city's Public Art Charter would be amended to replace the current funding from capital improvement projects (1 percent from street, sewer, bridge, parking lot construction) with the new art in public places millage funding. The city would still be able to use the remaining balance of capital improvement funds set aside for public art purposes. The new millage of one-tenth (0.10) mill, if approved, is expected to raise approximately $459,273 during the first year. For a household in the City of Ann Arbor with a mean taxable value of $108,600, the one-tenth (0.10) mill would add a tax of $10.97 per year, or 91 cents per month.To see how these proposals will appear on the Nov. 6 ballot, please visit the elections page on the city website.

A meeting to present and receive input on the draft recommendations will take place Wednesday, Oct. 3, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Cobblestone Farm (2781 Packard Road). Recommendations were developed through the plan's prior public-outreach efforts, and additional input is now being sought to further ensure consistency with the values and needs of the community.The publicly managed urban forest provides $4.6 million in benefits, including stormwater runoff reductions, improved water quality and lower energy costs. The Urban and Community Forest Management Plan will help the city maintain a sustainable urban forest and effectively manage it as a community asset. Those unable to attend the public meeting can provide comments on the draft recommendations online in two ways: through the new A2 Open City Hall forum and via a survey. More information on the Urban and Community Forest Management Plan is available on the project Web page. Here, you may also sign up to receive e-notifications about the process directly to your email. Questions or input can also be directed to Kerry Gray, urban forest and natural resource planning coordinator, at 734.794.6430, extension 43703.New topics await your input on A2 Open City HallAnn Arbor residents have a new way to share feedback with city staff and Council members with the debut of A2 Open City Hall. This new online forum recently featured a question about recommended South State Street Corridor improvements.The city now invites the public to give input — from the convenience of their keyboards — on two additional topics: the urban and community forest management planning, as noted in the article above, and the fire department restructure proposal. Please logon and share your input.Stay tuned for additional topics in the coming months.Leaf-disposal optionsAutumn has arrived, and it's time to think about managing those leaves. Options include mulching leaves on site, and collecting leaves in paper lawn bags and compost carts to leave at the curb for weekly pickup. Or take advantage of free bulk leaf drop off at the Ann Arbor Compost Center. Please remember that the city no longer picks up loose leaves raked to the street. And did you know, your past-its-prime pumpkin and decorative cornstalks can go in your compost cart or paper yard waste bag (up to 50 pounds per bag) for curbside pickup.15th District Court is awarded grants for Sobriety Court programThe 15th District Court has been awarded a $70,000 Michigan Drug Court Program grant and a $25,000 Office of Highway Safety Planning grant by the State Court Administrative Office of the Michigan Supreme Court. Grant funds will be used to continue 15th District Court Judge Joseph F. Burke's Sobriety Court program, which was established in 2004 by retired Judge Julie A. Creal.The goals of the team-based, selective Sobriety Court program are to proactively enhance community safety by assisting persons who need and would benefit from intensive court supervision, with emphasis on rehabilitation. With the support and cooperation of all district court judges in Washtenaw County, the 15th District Court Sobriety Court, located in the City of Ann Arbor, accepts case referrals from all district courts in the county. Sobriety Court team members include the Ann Arbor Police Department, the University of Michigan Department of Public Safety, local substance abuse treatment non-profit organization Dawn Farm Inc., Model Cities Legal Services Inc., the Ann Arbor City Attorney's Office and the Washtenaw County Prosecutor's Office.The services that are used to accomplish these goals include outpatient and inpatient drug and alcohol treatment, based on participant need; mental health services provided by Washtenaw Community Health Organization Project Outreach; drug and alcohol testing by Washtenaw County Sheriff Jerry L. Clayton's Office of Community Corrections; and ancillary services including education services, life skills, employment assistance and other support services.Community and artist collaborate for Allmendinger Park muralAllmendinger Park will soon be home to a very unique and collaborative art mural. Artist Mary Thiefels' "Nourishing Healthy Seeds,” a multimedia mural installed onto the pillars of the park's shelter, will be unveiled at a family event later this month. The mural, consisting of colorful layers of painted areas along with tile and glass mosaic sections, has a particularly special meaning to the Allmendinger Park neighbors: its design features contributions from the community. More than 60 self portraits were painted this past spring by Slauson Middle School eighth graders, and will serve as the primary figures in the mosaic. The portraits will be surrounded by more than 100 donated mementos from the area residents. Each item collected was accompanied by a description of the “found object;” and those descriptions will be posted online at a later date.The 8-acre Allmendinger Park is located on Pauline between Hutchins and Edgewood. Visit the mural project Web page for the unveiling-event information, once available, and for additional images and details. ReImagine WashtenawHead east out of downtown Ann Arbor along Washtenaw Avenue, and you're sure to notice some construction activity. Across from Whole Foods Market, groundbreaking has begun on Arbor Hills Crossing, a 90,000 square-foot retail and professional office development. The project includes new and wider sidewalks, a traffic signal and pedestrian crossing at Platt Road, and a new Ann Arbor Transit Authority Transit Super Stop. Continue further east, and you'll notice the Michigan Department of Transportation has begun a major traffic operations and nonmotorized project at US-23, which includes construction of nonmotorized paths on both sides of Washtenaw Avenue, providing a way for pedestrians and bicyclists safe travel under the highway overpass. This activity is all part of the ReImagine Washtenaw initiative.ReImagine Washtenaw is a multi-jurisdictional, land-use planning and public transit initiative. Its focus is to transform the corridor from mainly automobile use, to a safe, multimodal, public transit-enhanced corridor, with new, high-quality mixed-use development, enhanced transit service and amenities. These efforts will also result in a corridor with sense of “place.”Professional staff planners and elected officials from the cities of Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti and Pittsfield and Ypsilanti townships have been leading this effort. Additional partners, including the Ann Arbor Transportation Authority, Michigan Department of Transportation, Washtenaw County, Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti Regional Chamber of Commerce, and the Washtenaw Area Transportation Study, are also collaborating to take the county's most congested and auto-centric road, and turn it in to a high-functioning, multi-modal corridor.For more information, visit the ReImagine Washtenaw website.
