This document proposes a line of personalized and eco-friendly birthday cards called "Go Green. Go Unique.". Research shows consumers prefer personalized gifts that feel unique to them. The proposal includes designs that allow pictures and a colorful, cartoon-like style to appeal to children and teenagers. The budget outlines a $190,000 contract for designers and $20,000 for 500,000 print runs. A timeline is provided for completing drafts by January and launching the cards in stores by February.
Green industry
Vivek Kumar founded Green Industry in 2009 to help farmers in underdeveloped areas utilize their land year-round through scientific farming methods. The company would partner with farmers, investing in infrastructure and production. Farmers would receive wages, education for their children, and a share of profits. This would increase yields, incomes, and reduce seasonal unemployment and poverty in the region.

Engaging the public in scientific research for conservation
Public participation in scientific research (PPSR) refers to initiatives in which the public is involved in one or more phases of scientific research – from defining questions to using results – and encompasses citizen science, participatory monitoring, community science, and a variety of other endeavors and approaches. PPSR offers significant opportunities for conservation by addressing the increasing demand for information and the need for action, from identifying species at risk, to interpreting data for policy and management, to increasing public understanding and stewardship of the natural environment. For such research partnerships to advance goals for all involved, it is essential to better understand factors that influence specific outcomes and impacts. Conservation scientists and practitioners, resource managers, academics, community and project leaders, educators, land stewards, and others gathered to discuss key issues for PPSR in relation to conservation goals at a workshop at the American Museum of Natural History in April 2011.
This group identified key challenges, facilitating factors, and best practices for PPSR to have greater relevance for conservation questions and outcomes, including generating data that is relevant and meaningful, reaching and engaging new audiences, and implementing processes that integrate conventional science and other forms of knowledge. This paper will present tools and recommendations derived from the workshop that contribute to advancing the field of PPSR by addressing science, education, and conservation goals.
This talk was presented at the 2011 meetings of the International Symposium on Society and Resource Management (Madison, WI) and the Ecological Society of America (Austin, TX).

Jobs at Philadelphia Airport
You may be eligible to work at the Philadelphia International Airport even with a criminal record. The airport will consider applicants for most jobs if any felony convictions are over 10 years old or they only have misdemeanor convictions. Two agencies that can help file complaints of unfair denial of airport jobs due to criminal convictions are the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Philadelphia Commission on Human Rights.
Report of the Senate Military and Veterans Affairs Committee
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against developing mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
Sex offender registration info
You must fully comply with the law. Even if you do not agree with your classification or the requirements, you must continue to register and provide accurate information while you challenge your status. An official at your facility will have you complete a preliminary registration form. You must then report to a designated site in person within 48 hours of release to complete your registration. Failure to fully comply with this law is a felony with mandatory state sentences.
Triple Celling Notice
The Pennsylvania Prison Society has nothing to do with providing compensation for overcrowding in the Philadelphia Prison System -- it never has. It's simply a rumor.
Multisystemic Therapy: A New Approach for At-Risk Youth
This document summarizes two articles from the January 2012 issue of the Correctional Forum publication. The first article discusses how witness misidentification has contributed to nearly 75% of wrongful convictions in the United States. It also summarizes recommendations from a Pennsylvania advisory committee to help prevent wrongful convictions, including improving eyewitness identification procedures. The second article describes Multisystemic Therapy (MST), a family-based therapeutic approach to helping at-risk youth with behavioral disorders. Research shows MST reduces recidivism and criminal behavior while also saving taxpayer money compared to incarceration or other interventions.
Pennsylvania Prisoner Voting Rights
Under Pennsylvania law, felons who have been released from prison or will be freed by the time of the election are eligible to vote, even if they are on parole or probation. Only felons who are currently incarcerated cannot vote. An individual's voting rights are automatically restored once released from prison. Those who are incarcerated for misdemeanors or under house arrest can vote via absentee ballot, while those incarcerated for felonies and not being released before the election are not eligible.
A Question of Equal Justice
This document summarizes a case where a university professor who bludgeoned his wife to death received a lenient plea deal of 5-10 years for voluntary manslaughter. After serving the minimum 5 years, the parole board initially denied his release but approved it a year later. However, after public outrage from the victim's family and officials involved in the case, the board reversed its decision to approve parole. The author argues this case highlights the unequal treatment and hypocrisy that can exist in the criminal justice system, where well-educated individuals may receive more lenient treatment than less privileged defendants. Officials like the prosecutor and judge who approved the original plea deal were among those expressing shock at the potential parole.
Restoring Fatherhood
This document is the March 2013 issue of Graterfriends, a publication of the Pennsylvania Prison Society. It contains articles on restoring fatherhood written by an incarcerated individual, and a call for presidential pardons from another incarcerated individual. It also includes sections about legislative updates, legal matters, announcements and birthdays of incarcerated individuals. The overall focus is on criminal justice reform and issues impacting those who are incarcerated.
Innocent but Wearing Guilty Clothing
Lorenzo "Cat" Johnson's life sentence was vacated by the Third Circuit Court, on the grounds of insufficient evidence. After Johnson was released from prison, however, the US Supreme Court overturned the ruling and demanded that Johnson turn himself in — which he did. Back in prison, he continues to fight against wrongful convictions.
PCRA cover and form July 2012
Created for juvenile lifers in Pennsylvania after the Supreme Court decided Miller v. Alabama, ruling that a mandatory sentence of life without parole for juveniles is unconstitutional.
