Corruption in Corrections Article Review_Anderson_RichardRichard Anderson
Several current and former inspectors at the Franklin Correctional Institution in Florida testified to lawmakers about corruption at the prison. They claimed supervisors told them to ignore evidence of wrongdoing by officers, including medical neglect of inmates, violence by gangs, and possible organized crime influence. One inmate death from being gassed in isolation was investigated but reports were fabricated. The Secretary of the Department of Corrections said these incidents were in the past but inspectors said corruption like daily assaults and murders were still occurring and going unchecked. Proper oversight is needed to investigate allegations of corruption and improve practices.
Jails serve as local correctional facilities that hold individuals awaiting trial or serving short sentences of less than one year. They have historically struggled with overcrowding, underfunding, and inadequate staff training. Today's jails house a growing population that includes many with mental illnesses, substance abuse issues, and poor physical health. Jail administrators work to implement reforms like evidence-based programs, education/vocational training, and accreditation to improve conditions.
The document outlines several important considerations for hospital construction and design to promote patient health and safety. Hospitals should be built in locations that are elevated, away from noise and other nuisances, and allow for independent access. Design elements like adequate lighting, ventilation, drainage and pest control are emphasized. Specific guidelines are provided for flooring, spacing between beds, window placement, and isolation areas. Construction should also enable easy access to key departments and allow for emergency evacuation when needed.
The document discusses the organizational structure of hospitals. It explains that hospital structure involves different levels of management and departments grouped by similarity of duties. Large hospitals tend to have complex structures while smaller hospitals have simpler structures. Common departmental groupings include administrative services, informational services, therapeutic services, diagnostic services, and support services. An example traditional organizational chart and symbolic pyramid structure are also provided.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.
Confirmation of Payee (CoP) is a vital security measure adopted by financial institutions and payment service providers. Its core purpose is to confirm that the recipient’s name matches the information provided by the sender during a banking transaction, ensuring that funds are transferred to the correct payment account.
Confirmation of Payee was built to tackle the increasing numbers of APP Fraud and in the landscape of UK banking, the spectre of APP fraud looms large. In 2022, over £1.2 billion was stolen by fraudsters through authorised and unauthorised fraud, equivalent to more than £2,300 every minute. This statistic emphasises the urgent need for robust security measures like CoP. While over £1.2 billion was stolen through fraud in 2022, there was an eight per cent reduction compared to 2021 which highlights the positive outcomes obtained from the implementation of Confirmation of Payee. The number of fraud cases across the UK also decreased by four per cent to nearly three million cases during the same period; latest statistics from UK Finance.
In essence, Confirmation of Payee plays a pivotal role in digital banking, guaranteeing the flawless execution of banking transactions. It stands as a guardian against fraud and misallocation, demonstrating the commitment of financial institutions to safeguard their clients’ assets. The next time you engage in a banking transaction, remember the invaluable role of CoP in ensuring the security of your financial interests.

A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?

Structure and demography of prisons in tamil nadu
1. THIRD CONCEPT, JULY 2016 47
[The words ‘Prison’ and ‘Gaol’ are derived from the Latin words which mean to “Seize” and
“Cage” respectively. The Oxford English Dictionary defines prison as, “A place properly arranged
and equipped for the reception of persons who by legal process are committed to it for safe
custody while awaiting trial or punishment”. Prison is one of the complicated and pathetic places
where the convict and the under trial persons are lodged because of their involvement in illegal
or unlawful activities.]
Structure and Demography of Prisons in
Tamil Nadu

* Asst Prof. of Commerce, Periyar E.V.R.College,
Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu.
I
t is the universal phenomenon which had an
ancient history from the age old periods.
Systemand treatment of prison and prisoners
have been changing owing to growing evaluation
ofthe human rights approach. Inthe earlyperiods,
prison was one ofthe places where the anti-social
and anti-national persons were lodged, but now
it has been changing, and even if the prisoners
are convicts, they are treated as human beings
and his/her rights are protected by law.
That rehabilitationsteps are being takento create
a new life after imprisonment is quite common
all around the world. With this view, the present
paper discusses the demographic profile of
prisoners in Tamil Nadu.
Prison in India
During the time of Emperor Akbar, there were
two kinds of prisons, one for criminals who had
committed serious offences and other for ordinary
criminals. Important Nobles and Princes guilty
of treason and rebellions were imprisoned in
fortresses situated in different parts ofthe country.
The provision for proper jail building in the
whole of India is the contribution of the British
Government. The native Governments did not
maintain proper jail buildings. Lord Macaulay,
a member of the Indian Law Commission,
initiated the prison reform in 1835 for the first
time in India. Indian Prisons Act of 1894
regulated the prison systemin the country.At that
time there were 43 civil, 75 criminal and 68
mixed jails in India. These jails were run by
District Magistrates.
Category of Prisoners
Prisoners may be categorized according to their
legal compliances. The following are the major
categories of prison inmates lodged in Indian
jails;
A convict is “a person found guilty of
a crime and sentenced by a court” or “a person
serving a sentence in prison”. An under-trial is a
person who is currently on trial in a court of
law. A detenu is any person held in custody.
Prison inmates lodged in Indian jails in relation
to non-Indian Penal Code (IPC) crimes are
classified as civil prisoners.
Review of Literature
Raju.L.P ( 2014) asserts that the prison system
as it operates today in our country is a legacy of
the British Rule. It was the creation of the
colonial rulers over our penal system with the
prime motive of making imprisonment “a terror
to wrongdoers”. In India, jail is the popular term
which describes the prisons, which are
categorized into the following types.
Paramasivan.C (2016) emphasizes that the need
of the hour is to streamline the prison as a place
for promoting cultured people through various
rehabilitation measures to make them as well

being persons in the society. Demographic status
of prison inmates in prison should be properly
monitored to ensure their humanrights ina proper
manner. Prison inmates are also a very good
manpower if we utilize them in proper ways.
This study makes an attempt to understand the
demographic profile of the pensioners in the
country with respect to category wise prisoners,
occupancy rate, women prison inmates etc.
Prisons inTamil Nadu
The Presidency Jail for women in Vellore, was
the first prison constructed in TamilNadu during
the year 1830 followed by Madras “Penitentiary”
during the year 1837 and thereafter all other
prisons were constructed one by one up to the
year 1872. After Independence, Central Prison,
Puzhal was the only prison constructed during
the year 1981 and some additional
accommodation was made in other prisons. All
the prison buildings are more than 150 years old.

Sub jails are smaller institutions situated at sub-
divisional level in the States. Borstal Schools are a
type of youth detention centres and are used
exclusively for the imprisonment of minors or
juveniles.
Open jails are prisons with minimum security.
Prisoners with good behaviour, satisfying certain
norms prescribed inthe prison rules are admitted in
open prisons. Special jails are prisons with high
securityfacilities thathavespecializedarrangements
for keeping offenders and prisoners who are
convicted of terrorism, insurgency and violent
crimes. Jails that do not fall into the categories
discussed above, fall under the category of other
jails. Three states - Goa, Karnataka & Maharashtra
- have 1 jail each of the above categories in their
jurisdiction.

years) are confined in the Central Jails, which
have larger capacity in comparison to other jails.

Conclusion
Prison is a part of the social system which
consists of different categories of prisoners.
Prison is one of the complicated and dismal
places where the convict and the under trial
persons are lodged owing to their involvement
in prohibited or illegitimate activities. System
and treatment of prison and prisoners have been
changing because of growing evaluation of the
human rights movement. In the early periods,
prison was one of the places where the anti-social
and anti-national people were lodged, but now
it has been changing.
5. THIRD CONCEPT, JULY 2016 51
Even if the prisoners are convicts, they are
treated as human beings and his/her rights are
protected by law. The present study concludes
that the structure and the demographic status of
prisons in Tamil Nadu are well organized and
administered by the state government with a
separate department headed by Additional
Director Generalof Police (Prisons). As regards
the members, TamilNadu has 136 prisons (98%)
as against the total 138 prisons India.
According to the occupancy rate, Tamil Nadu
recorded 76 per cent which is less than the all
India average of 117.4 per cent. Prisons in Tamil
Nadu have sufficient infrastructure and Puzhal
prison is one of the model prisons in the country.
Prisons in Tamil Nadu are also concentrating on
rehabilitation activities, vocational training,
education facilities and established industries
and provide opportunities to market their
products in the name of prison bazaar.

ndia’s caste systemis a framework structured
in such a way that sets individuals a certain
hierarchical status in relation to Hindu
ideology. Traditionally, there are four principal
castes and one category of people who fall
outside the caste system namely, Dalits, are
termed as members of the lowest rank of Indian
society. They face discrimination at almost every
level of access to all sorts of welfare measures.
Dalits –”TheVulnerable Community”
Dalits, a group ofcommunity who belong to the
categoryof Scheduled Castes, who come under
the lowest hierarchical of caste system based on
Hindu traditional ideology pre-determined in
such a way, as a result of this pre- assumed
notion. This categoryofpeople faces hectic level
of discrimination, exploitation and suppression
bydominant castes and so as such the government
machinery also has been influenced by this caste
ethics.
Violation of Dalit Rights and welfare schemes
M. Daniel E. Raj*
* Researcher, Dept of Pol. Sc. & Development Admin.,
Gandhigram Rural Institute, Gandhigram.
The process to empower themhasreportedlybeen
on the anvilwith regard to uplift theminthe ladder
of social development because they are regarded
as oppressed people in view of less freedom and
to some extent regarded as vulnerable in the
spectacle of caste dominant society. Mostly,
Dalits are sidelined and they are termed and
perceived as neglected community. The
development initiatives should be streamlined to
bring effective change in the livelihood of dalit
community.
Status of Dalits
The Status of Dalit seems disheartening and
disgracefulinrecent times. The amount and extent
of exclusion practiced is written in the laws of
Manusmriti, the fundamentalwork ofHindu law.
It plays a major role in the discrimination and
oppression of people in Dalit community. The
same situation prevails in the present context and
it was centuries ago. It has been very
disheartening to discern that the livelihood of
most ofthe Dalit communitydoes not project any
encouraging signs. Perhaps there is increase in
