"Alarming cries are being heard up and down the state these days: Prisons near 200 percent capacity! Recidivism rate at nearly 70 percent! Shocking reports of violence, abuse, and neglect! Virtually no rehabilitation, treatment, or education programs! “Life-threatening” conditions place prison health-care system in federal receivership! Entire prison system under threat of federal takeover! These words are coming from not only inmate’s families, but from journalists, oversight organizations, university research centers, and numerous advocates for criminal justice, prison, and parole reform."
