Despite the censorship, reports emerge of security collapse in prisons

By Ian Dunt Wednesday, 12 November 2014 8:49 AM Prison crisis: Can jails keep control without enough staff?

The most effective tool the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has for covering up the prison crisis is censorship. Prisoners can't talk, former prisoners can't talk, guards can't talk. The only reliable information published is from the chief inspector of prisons and the independent monitoring boards, who Chris Grayling can't shut up.

That information is a snap shot of a system in chaos, falling apart under the combined weight of funding cuts, staff shortages and Grayling's "right-wing solutions" to reoffending.

Today the report came in from an unannounced inspection of Elmley prison on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent. It is dangerously overcrowded and understaffed. There has been one major disturbance a month for each of the last 11 consecutive months, with prisoners refusing to go back to their cells. This compares to zero disturbances the year before. The offender management unit is "overwhelmed".

Almost 200 of the men there spend 23 hours a day in their cells. Fights and assault are up 60% in the last year. Vulnerable prisoners are being abused without staff intervention. Five people have committed suicide in the last two years.

Rehabilitation has completely ground to a halt. Of the cases looked at by probation inspectors, not one showed meaningful work being done to address the offending behaviour of the prisoner.

As we've seen before, drug use is high and mandatory drug tests are counter-productive. These tests push people away from drugs like cannabis, which statistically are not dangerous, and towards new substances like spice and black mamba, which dont show up on the test. These are much more unpredictable, as the inmates' nickname for ambulances 'mambulances' testifies. The mandatory drug tests show 7.2% positivity, but 40% of prisoners told inspectors it was easy to get drugs. Take a guess which one of those figures is more indicative of the truth.

In Brixton prison, the independent monitoring board report also noted "unacceptably high" levels of drug use, citing positive test results and anecdotal evidence from prisoners.

Staffing levels are so low they "wholly ignore the requirements of running a prison effectively, safely and humanely".

China vs. U.S. media at rare new conference

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

Beijing (CNN) -- In a rare, joint news conference with the global news media inside the heart of Beijing, U.S. President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping pledged cooperation on a range of common interests as they concluded an unusually colorful economic summit.

Asked about anti-American rhetoric in Chinese state-run media which accused the United States of backing recent democracy protests in Hong Kong, Obama brushed off the criticism as "part of being a public official."

"The United States had no involvement in fostering the protests that took place there," Obama insisted.

Xi appeared to grimace when asked by New York Times reporter Mark Landler about international press access in China and whether he viewed Obama's "pivot" to Asia as an authentic component of U.S. foreign policy.

In a sign of clear annoyance with the setting, Xi initially did not answer the question and moved to hear instead from a Chinese reporter. In response, Xi appeared at times to read a prepared statement.

US, China reach historic climate change deal

"We don't see eye to eye on every issue. Both sides should respect each other's core interests," Xi said, adding the two nations should manage their differences respectfully.

Xi, however, went on to take note of international criticism of China's human rights record.

"China has made enormous progress in its human rights. That is a fact," Xi said, conceding that his nation's work in that area is not "mission accomplished."

Schools draw social media line between teachers, kids

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. - Social media is becoming the new focus of school policies as districts that embrace technology try to balance adult and student contact on and off campus.

Incidents of teacher and student encounters gone wrong via social media are growing. In February, a former New Rochelle school librarian, was sentenced to three years probation after admitting to trying to seduce a 16-year-old student. It was text messages the boy's parents saw between the two that broke the case, police said.

A 14-year-old Connecticut teen was charged last month with harassment for posting inappropriate pictures of a teacher on line.

"Social media has become part of everyone's everyday life," said Carl Korn, a spokesman for New York State United Teachers. "Teachers are struggling to find the right balance - or deciding not to participate - because while there are rewards, there are also risks."

As schools bring technology into their hallways and classrooms, districts have been driven to craft a patchwork of policies to delineate what has long been a gray area.

School administrators want their teachers to interact with students and parents and encourage them to use social media to send homework reminders or post student work. They also want their teachers to maintain a professional distance, increasingly asking them to sign an "acceptable use policy" or "code of conduct" that forbids them from "friending" students on Facebook or following them on Twitter.

"Any time there are kids involved, there are protocols," said Nyack schools Superintendent James Montesano.

Byram Hills school district's policy limits teacher-student contact to the district's email system or website.

"So it's traceable," said schools Superintendent William Donahue. "In that regard, we can put limits on that part of their professional life."
