Alaska Correctional Master Plan: Proposed Funding Strategy, Roger V. Endell

A fundamental goal of the recommendations of the Alaska Corrections Master Plan is the provision of the most adequate corrections system for Alaska at the least possible cost.

Rural Alaska Corrections Plan (A Summary), John E. Angell

Reports

Efforts to improve correctional services in the rural, predominantly Native communities of Alaska have been going on since before statehood. Complete implementation of plans developed by the Alaska Criminal Justice Planning Agency during the 1970s have been hampered by a number of factors: (1) the scope of the planning has tended to be confined to correctional facilities; (2) the problems faced by corrections in Alaska are complicated by diversity of communities served; (3) financial requirements have exceeded available resources; (4) the authority and responsibility for achieving the plans' objectives were unclear. This document offers proposals for a rural corrections plan …

Legislative Implementation For The Corrections Master Plan, State Of Alaska, John E. Havelock

Endell, 1979); and (2) to commit to legislative language those proposals which embodied suggestions for legislative change. …

The research underlying this paper was an exploratory effort to begin the collection of crime and justice information which can be used in criminal justice policy development in rural areas of the state by the State of Alaska.

Potential Impact Of Mandatory Minimum Sentencing On Existing Division Of Corrections Adult Offender Inmate Capacity, Peter Smith Ring Apr 1976

Potential Impact Of Mandatory Minimum Sentencing On Existing Division Of Corrections Adult Offender Inmate Capacity, Peter Smith Ring

Reports

This report was prepared for the Alaska Criminal Code Revision Commission to provide its members with an assessment of the potential impact on the Alaska Division (later Department) of Corrections adult offender inmate capacity likely to result from enactment of mandatory minimum sentencing provisions.

Application of mandatory minimums for such offenders to ALL felonies would likely result in DOC's entire capacity being used up within …
