Mental Health And Incarceration: What A Bad Combination, Olinda Moyd
Mental Health And Incarceration: What A Bad Combination, Olinda Moyd
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
The District of Columbia has one of the highest per capita incarceration and criminal justice supervision rates in the United States1 and among the highest in the world.

Recent acts of Congress have seriously impacted the sentencing laws in the District including determination of where persons sentenced for violating local D.C. laws will serve such sentences. On August 5, 1997, President Clinton signed into law The National …

University of the District of Columbia Law Review
Suicide is often the most common cause of death in correctional settings across the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) recently published a report stating that suicide "is a public health problem that demands our attention."'

University of the District of Columbia Law Review
Abuse of children in state institutions is a longstanding and notorious problem.1 Advocates for children have successfully brought federal civil rights litigation over the past thirty years to protect the lives, safety, and rights of children in jails,2 juvenile detention facilities, 3 and state corrections institutions. 4 In recent years, however, such litigation has become more difficult as a result of enactment of the Prison Litigation Reform Act (PLRA) 5 and an array of United States Supreme Court decisions. In a number of decisions over the past two decades, the Supreme Court has significantly restricted the rights of prisoners and …

Enforcing Corrections-Related Court Orders In The District Of Columbia, Jonathan M. Smith
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
In 1909, a presidential commission made the following comment about the conditions that prevailed in the District of Columbia's jail: That men and women should be sent to these narrow and confined cells, the lazy to be fostered in laziness, the industrious to be deprived of every form of employment, in one promiscuous assembly, to corrupt and be corrupted by each other, to be fed like beasts and maintained at the public charge, with no prospect for improvement in condition, with the moral certainty that they will come out far worse than they went in, is a fact that has …
