Book Synopsis Avoiding Jail Time by : Milton Kraut
Download or read book Avoiding Jail Time written by Milton Kraut and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-26 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bad news is that you've been convicted of a crime. The good news is that even if the conviction carries a possible prison sentence, you may be able to avoid jail by receiving some form of alternative sentencing. There are many different forms of alternative sentencing such as probation or in-house arrest. These forms of sentencing are usually reserved for less severe crimes and allow someone to rehabilitate without going to jail, while also sparing the already overburdened prison system. Whether you receive one of these options as an alternative to jail will depend upon the specific facts of your conviction. This book is an in-depth look at criminal thinking and criminal behavior, the legal system, how crimes are investigated and prosecuted, and how you can minimize your chances of being imprisoned. An excellent book both for those who may be running the risk of incarceration, as well as those who worry about their family members or friends.

Book excerpt: "[The report] finds that supervision -– probation and parole -– drives high numbers of people, disproportionately those who are Black and brown, right back to jail or prison, while in large part failing to help them get needed services and resources. In states examined in the report, people are often incarcerated for violating the rules of their supervision or for low-level crimes, and receive disproportionate punishment following proceedings that fail to adequately protect their fair trial rights."--Publisher website.
Book Synopsis The Chickenshit Club by : Jesse Eisinger
Download or read book The Chickenshit Club written by Jesse Eisinger and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-07-11 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2018 Excellence in Financial Journalism Award From Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Jesse Eisinger, “a fast moving, fly-on-the-wall, disheartening look at the deterioration of the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission…It is a book of superheroes” (San Francisco Review of Books). Why were no bankers put in prison after the financial crisis of 2008? Why do CEOs seem to commit wrongdoing with impunity? The problem goes beyond banks deemed “Too Big to Fail” to almost every large corporation in America—to pharmaceutical companies and auto manufacturers and beyond. The Chickenshit Club—an inside reference to prosecutors too scared of failure and too daunted by legal impediments to do their jobs—explains why in “an absorbing financial history, a monumental work of journalism…a first-rate study of the federal bureaucracy” (Bloomberg Businessweek). Jesse Eisinger begins the story in the 1970s, when the government pioneered the notion that top corporate executives, not just seedy crooks, could commit heinous crimes and go to prison. He brings us to trading desks on Wall Street, to corporate boardrooms and the offices of prosecutors and FBI agents. These revealing looks provide context for the evolution of the Justice Department’s approach to pursuing corporate criminals through the early 2000s and into the Justice Department of today, including the prosecutorial fiascos, corporate lobbying, trial losses, and culture shifts that have stripped the government of the will and ability to prosecute top corporate executives. “Brave and elegant…a fearless reporter…Eisinger’s important and profound book takes no prisoners” (The Washington Post). Exposing one of the most important scandals of our time, The Chickenshit Club provides a clear, detailed explanation as to how our Justice Department has come to avoid, bungle, and mismanage the fight to bring these alleged criminals to justice. “This book is a wakeup call…a chilling read, and a needed one” (NPR.org).

Book Synopsis Jail: How To Avoid Going, What To Do Inside, And What To Do After Getting Out by : Edward Broom
Download or read book Jail: How To Avoid Going, What To Do Inside, And What To Do After Getting Out written by Edward Broom and published by Edward Broom. This book was released on with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This life we live is full of ups and downs, joy and pain, surprises and routines, godliness and evil, and many other things that we each handle in our own ways. Some of our ways are similar and some are exactly the opposite. Some of us strive to better ourselves, some of us choose to be content with our way of living, and some of us make our way of living hard with the decisions we make. In this life, there are some who listen to wisdom and take heed. There are some who listen to wisdom and disregard it. Then there are those who do not bother to listen at all. This book is for those who listen and take heed. I have been incarcerated several times and I feel as though jail is not the place to be. I have been locked up in county jail, city jail, and prison for crimes ranging from disorderly conduct to first degree murder. I am locked up now as I write this book. We learn from experience, so who better to write a book about jail than a person who has experienced all the different forms of jail. This book has three sections and purposes. The first section (chapters 1 through 11) is designed to help people avoid going to jail, by putting Christ as the head of their lives, by obeying God’s law and the law of man, by separating themselves from the wrong people, places, and things, by being joined together with the right people, places and things, by using their time wisely, by working and doing positive, constructive, legal things, and by being what people would refer to as a good person. In section two (chapters 12 through 25), I tell you how to live your life behind the bars, fences, and locked doors more safely, wisely, peacefully, in good health, and in hope. As always, God is first and should be first while you are in jail also. It is only with God that you will be able to do the things I suggest and live the way I advise you to live while in jail. Things such as keeping your cool in heated situations, being surrounded by drugs but remaining drug-free, living in the midst of criminals committing crimes but refraining from partaking, staying out of harm’s way, maintaining an intimate, personal relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus, while we are in a place that frowns upon godliness, having faith that all things work together for those who love God and are called by Him, and not losing hope would be impossible without God’s grace, mercy and love. This section should help you to live the life that God wants you to live during incarceration. Section three (Chapters 26 through 34) contains a lot of the same advice from section one. Basically, both chapters help to keep you from going to jail, but section three deals with the matter of having been to jail and now being out of jail. When I use the word “jail”, I am referring to a place of incarceration, so some of this section deals with post prison life with and without probation or parole; some of it simply deals with life after experiencing bondage. But all this section has one goal in mind - to prevent you from going back into that life of bars and locked doors. I give advice on most of the same stuff from section one but with different insight since you have already been in jail. For people who are on post-release supervision, probation, or parole, I explain the risk of doing things that are not illegal and still going to jail. If you are blessed enough to get arrested, not go to jail, but still have probation of some sort, it is a must that you read chapter 29 to know the truth in full detail. Section three gives less scenarios than section one, but in section three, I try to help you more by stressing the fact that you need to have Jesus as the head of your life to break the cycle of going back and forth to jail. Chapters 26 through 34 (section 3) should help you put the past behind you and move forward in your life to please God. This entire book consists of Scriptures that God gave us to know how to live. If you believe that the Scriptures are inspired by God, and you apply them to your life, along with my counsel on the matters at hand, you will make better decisions and put yourself in less consequential situations. I suggest that you start with chapter one and read the complete book first, then skip around to certain parts of the book as they pertain to what you are going through and who you are dealing with. To ensure the maximum potential of this book, do not take any shortcuts. Before you begin reading, pray that God gives you understanding. You should do this now, before you start on chapter one and every single time that you pick up this book to resume reading it. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you receive, retain and relay all the message written in this book. I am praying that all of you are helped by it. May the grace of God cause revelation and illumination in your life as you read. God bless you all.

By writing letters to universities, he found his way into a college program. After earning an undergraduate degree, he pursued a master's degree. After earning a master's degree, he began work toward a doctorate degree. When authorities blocked his pathway to complete his formal education, Santos shifted his energy to publishing and creating business opportunities from inside of prison boundaries.In the final section, we learn how Santos relied upon critical-thinking skills to position himself for a successful journey inside. He nurtured a relationship with Carole and married her inside of a prison visiting room. Then, he began building businesses that would allow him to return to society strong, with his dignity intact.Through Earning Freedom! readers learn how to overcome struggles and challenges. At any time, we can recalibrate, we can begin working toward a better life. Santos served 9,135 days in prison, and another 365 days in a halfway house before concluding 26 years as a federal prisoner. Through his various websites, he continues to document how the decisions he made in prison put him on a pathway to succeed upon release.

Book Synopsis The Growth of Incarceration in the United States by : Committee on Causes and Consequences of High Rates of Incarceration
Download or read book The Growth of Incarceration in the United States written by Committee on Causes and Consequences of High Rates of Incarceration and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2014-12-31 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After decades of stability from the 1920s to the early 1970s, the rate of imprisonment in the United States has increased fivefold during the last four decades. The U.S. penal population of 2.2 million adults is by far the largest in the world. Just under one-quarter of the world's prisoners are held in American prisons. The U.S. rate of incarceration, with nearly 1 out of every 100 adults in prison or jail, is 5 to 10 times higher than the rates in Western Europe and other democracies. The U.S. prison population is largely drawn from the most disadvantaged part of the nation's population: mostly men under age 40, disproportionately minority, and poorly educated. Prisoners often carry additional deficits of drug and alcohol addictions, mental and physical illnesses, and lack of work preparation or experience. The growth of incarceration in the United States during four decades has prompted numerous critiques and a growing body of scientific knowledge about what prompted the rise and what its consequences have been for the people imprisoned, their families and communities, and for U.S. society. The Growth of Incarceration in the United States examines research and analysis of the dramatic rise of incarceration rates and its affects. This study makes the case that the United States has gone far past the point where the numbers of people in prison can be justified by social benefits and has reached a level where these high rates of incarceration themselves constitute a source of injustice and social harm. The Growth of Incarceration in the United States examines policy changes that created an increasingly punitive political climate and offers specific policy advice in sentencing policy, prison policy, and social policy. The report also identifies important research questions that must be answered to provide a firmer basis for policy. This report is a call for change in the way society views criminals, punishment, and prison. This landmark study assesses the evidence and its implications for public policy to inform an extensive and thoughtful public debate about and reconsideration of policies.

Book Synopsis The Future of Imprisonment by : Michael Tonry
Download or read book The Future of Imprisonment written by Michael Tonry and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-04-08 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The imprisonment rate in America has grown by a factor of five since 1972. In that time, punishment policies have toughened, compassion for prisoners has diminished, and prisons have gotten worse-a stark contrast to the origins of the prison 200 years ago as a humanitarian reform, a substitute for capital and corporal punishment and banishment. So what went wrong? How can prisons be made simultaneously more effective and more humane? Who should be sent there in the first place? What should happen to them while they are inside? When, how, and under what conditions should they be released? The Future of Imprisonment unites some of the leading prisons and penal policy scholars of our time to address these fundamental questions. Inspired by the work of Norval Morris, the contributors look back to the past twenty-five years of penal policy in an effort to look forward to the prison's twenty-first century future. Their essays examine the effects of current high levels of imprisonment on urban neighborhoods and the people who live in them. They reveal how current policies came to be as they are and explain the theories of punishment that guide imprisonment decisions. Finally, the contributors argue for the strategic importance of controls on punishment including imprisonment as a limit on government power; chart the rise and fall of efforts to improve conditions inside; analyze the theory and practice of prison release; and evaluate the tricky science of predicting and preventing recidivism. A definitive guide to imprisonment policies for the future, this volume convincingly demonstrates how we can prevent crime more effectively at lower economic and human cost.
Book Synopsis Echoes in the Darkness by : Joseph Wambaugh
Download or read book Echoes in the Darkness written by Joseph Wambaugh and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2013-08-28 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On June 25, 1989, the naked corpse of schoolteacher Susan Reinert was found wedged into her hatchback car in a hotel parking lot near Philadelphia's "Main Line." Her two children had vanished. The Main Line Murder Case burst upon the headlines--and wasn't resolved for seven years. Now, master crime writer Joseph Wambaugh reconstructs the case from its roots, recounting the details, drama, players and pawns in this bizarre crime that shocked the nation and tore apart a respectable suburban town. The massive FBI and state police investigation ultimately centered on two men. Dr. Jay C. Smith--By day he was principal of Upper Merion High School where Susan Reinert taught. At night he was a sadist who indulged in porno, drugs, and weapons. William Bradfield--He was a bearded and charismatic English teacher and classics scholar, but his real genius was for juggling women--three at a time. One of those women was Susan Reinert. How these two men are connected, how the brilliant murder was carried off, and how the investigators closed this astounding case makes for Wambaugh's most compelling book yet.
