Ecclesial Prison “God Pods”
This article examines the rise of ecclesial units in US prisons, wherein inmates are trained and certified for Christian evangelism as state-assigned inmate field ministers. Unlike general religious education programs in public prisons, these newer units, referred to within prison communities as God pods , function as ecclesial training centers for Christian ministry undertaken by matriculated state prisoners. The author contrasts the work of inm…
Capitalizing on Religious Pluralism in U.S. Prison Ministry
The renewed growth of immersive “faith-unit” programs operating inside U.S. maximum-security prisons has brought with it a heightened emphasis on the practice of religion in correctional settings. Modeled from a prototype Christian seminary planted inside Louisiana State Penitentiary Angola, newer programs utilize outside religious educators for the credentialing of inmates into work assignments on behalf of prisons. As resource-challenged warden…
The new prison God Pods
Recent exponential growth in immersive God Pod units operating in US prisons has engendered many new but still unexamined practices. Loosely-modeled off a Christian seminary planted inside Louisiana State Penitentiary, newer programs deploy privately-funded religious educators for the credentialing and training of “inmate field ministers” assigned religious work duties in public prisons. Funded by private foundations and unregulated by government…
What Do Correctional Leaders Think About Faith-Based Programs? Results From a National Survey
While religious programs and services have long been a staple of the American prison experience, existing research has yet to examine how correctional administrators perceive their importance and effectiveness. Of the 50 states invited to participate in the survey, most of the 27 respondents reported that faith-based programming provides a critically important resource that yields successful outcomes and positively influences prison culture. Near…
The Spirituality of Carceral Citizenship
Through participant observation of the redemption-focused identity work of formerly incarcerated citizens affiliated with an urban faith-based nonprofit organization run by ex-offenders, this paper examines religiously motivated desistance among eighteen male respondents who attribute lasting desistance to intense religiosity. Recent research portrays the 'identity work' of criminal justice-involved citizens as 'narrative labor' fraught with capr…
Spiritual Entrepreneurs
In his book $piritual Entrepreneurs: Florida’s Faith-Based Prisons and the American Carceral State, Brad Stoddard offers an account of religious programming inside the nation’s third-largest prison system. Using a dollar sign in the title on the book’s printed cover, the book explores the development and history of the Florida Department of Corrections’ “Faith and Character-Based Institutions” (FCBIs). In conducting what he calls a “critical ethn…
The Restorative Prison
"Four Gods" in Maximum Security Prison
This paper extends research on images of God, which prior researchers based mostly on national survey data, to a study of offenders in prison. We first explore whether the distribution of Froese and Bader's (America's four gods: What we say about god-& what that says about us, Oxford University Press, New York 2010 ) four images of God among prison inmates is similar to that in the general population. We then examine whether an inmate's image of …
Existential and Virtuous Effects of Religiosity on Mental Health and Aggressiveness among Offenders
Although prior research tends to show that religion has a salutary effect on mental health and a preventive effect on crime, studies explaining the religious effect, particularly those on offenders, have been limited. To address the issue, we examine whether religiosity is inversely related to negative emotions and aggressiveness among prison inmates. Additionally, we assess whether the relationships are attributable to an inmate's sense of meani…
Images of God, Religious Involvement, and Prison Misconduct among Inmates
The authors examine an offender’s images of God – beliefs concerning God’s forgiveness, engagement, and judgment – in relation to prison misconduct. They test whether these beliefs are related inversely to misconduct and, if so, whether the relationships are mediated by an inmate’s religious involvement. The authors apply latent-variable structural equation modeling to analyze data from a survey of inmates at the Louisiana State Penitentiary. Con…
The Angola Prison Seminary
Corrections officials faced with rising populations and shrinking budgets have increasingly welcomed "faith-based" providers offering services at no cost to help meet the needs of inmates. Drawing from three years of on-site research, this book utilizes survey analysis along with life-history interviews of inmates and staff to explore the history, purpose, and functioning of the Inmate Minister program at Louisiana State Penitentiary (aka "Angola…
The Punitive Turn
The Resurgence of Religion in America's Prisons
This article discusses the growing prominence of "faith-based" programs in American corrections and the historical context of penal regime change during periods of economic crisis. The article traces areas of overlap and divergence in recent discussions of penal reform in the U.S. The article suggests a new American penitentiary movement is emerging, noting central tenets of faith-based programs have salience for both conservatives and liberals: …
Reentry to What? Theorizing Prisoner Reentry in the Jobless Future
Commerce with Criminals
This article examines the reappearance of for‐profit imprisonment in the US by focusing specifically on the racial and colonialistic history of imprisonment for private profit in America. The article documents that during the two periods of American history in which corrections policy facilitated wholesale private profit through imprisonment, first during the proprietary operation of the convict lease system in the mid 1860s and again today (sinc…
Race, crime, and forprofit imprisonment
This article explores the racial dynamics of contemporary prison privatization in the USA from the perspective of social disorganization theory. It relies particularly on the concepts of ‘social’ and ‘human’ capital to suggest that, due to late 20th-century imprisonment policies, a renewed understanding of prisoners as commodities has emerged. While the nature of prisoners’ commodity-value has changed somewhat in modern times - prisoners are no l…
Gatekeeping Through Media Format
This research examines the extent to which HIV-positive voices are marginalized in the mainstream versus the “alternative” press. The central claim of this research is that news media format considerations, constructed around what has come to be called “media logic,” leave persons who are HIV-positive with comparatively little voice in the mainstream press. By utilizing techniques of content analysis, the research examines 535 major HIV/AIDS-spe-…
Hanns Hubmann
We met in Ulm, Germany on a bitterly cold winter's day in late February.1 The interview was in two sessions: the evening of 22 February and the morning of23 February 1993. The dark, leaden skies had remained with me through the 370 km rail journey north from Schwarzach in Austria through Salzburg and Munich, intermittently providing a raging blizzard and a bleak white landscape. As the InterCity Express pulled into Ulm Hauptbahnhof precisely on t…

Guns and roses on “cops”
“Peacemaking criminology” views both crime and punishment as a unified indicator of a society's overall level of violence. Instead of treating crime and punishment as a stimulus and response, as if they occupied autonomous categories, peacemaking criminology sees crime and punishment as symbiotic. Consistent with this theme, I recently completed a study of police officer attitudes about the portrayal of police work on “reality television” program…
Why we fail at crime control
The problem, at least, is understandable: Rather than conceding that no combination of human genius or discipline has ever come close to solving the “crime problem,” criminology has instead endorsed approaches that serve the interests of established power, not the interests of those who are continuously victimized by crime. The problems of crime and violence are obviously too big for criminology. Instead, it resorts largely to the ad hominem labe…

The Strines Journal and the Nasmyth Steam Hammer
The Strines Printing Company's original factory lies on the banks of the River Goyt at Strines on the Cheshire/Derbyshire border. It was here that The Strines Journal 1 was produced between the years 1852 and 1860 by twO young employees, Joel Wainwright and John M. Gregory. This journal, a topical magazine of science and art, was issued from the print works in monthly parts from September 1852 until the year 1856. Only one handwritten copy was pr…

Logic, Quantum Logic and Empiricism
This paper treats some of the issues raised by Putnam's discussion of, and claims for, quantum logic, specifically: that its proposal is a response to experimental difficulties; that it is a reasonable replacement for classical logic because its connectives retain their classical meanings, and because it can be derived as a logic of tests. We argue that the first claim is wrong (1) , and that while conjunction and disjunction can be considered to…

A British celebration
The Golden Age of British Photography is an exhibition, a catalogue, and a book. The exhibition was directed by Mark Haworth-Booth, Assistant Keeper of Photography, Victoria & Albert Museum, London, and Michael E. Hoffman, Director, Alfred Stieglitz Center, Philadelphia. Photographs were selected from the collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum; the Philadelphia Museum of Art; the Royal Archives, Windsor Castle; the Royal Photographic Society…
Brothers' group photograph
One of the earliest examples of a composite print of a group was made by 0. G. Rejlander. In a lecture to the South London Photographic Society in 1863 he explained: My first attempt at ‘double printing’ as some call it, was exhibited in London in 1855. It was named in the catalogue Groupe Printed from Three Negatives. That plan I hit upon through sheer vexation, because I could not get a gentleman's figure in focus, though he was close behind a …
Early magnesium light portraits
The suggestion of using flash as a means of giving light rather than to arrest movement was first made by William Crookes, then editor of Photographic News, in October 1859.1 In a reply to a correspondent, ‘V. C.’, he commented: ‘A still more brilliant light but a terribly expensive one, can be obtained by burning the new metal, magnesium,2 in oxygen. A piece of magnesium wire held by one end in the hand, may be lighted at the other extremity by …
John Benjamin Dancer 1812–1887
Inter-relationship between individuals interested in photography played a major factor in its early development in the Manchester area. Without the advantages of modem communications, these connections relied to a great extent on professional and personal contacts to disseminate information and add to knowledge. These relationships constitute the framework of John Benjamin Dancer's life and work

The hopkins memorial stone
In a paper on ‘Post-mortem portraiture in America’1 Jay Ruby discusses photography of the deceased, and comments that ‘photography has figured in social rituals surrounding death, funerals, and mourning since the inception of the new technology’, and that ‘it seems quite natural that death, as a rite of passage, should be commemorated photographically.’ Blauner suggests that ‘death creates a further problem because of the contradiction between so…
