Monterey FMHAC
IACFP in the field: Cal State Monterey, campus empty due to Spring Break, but had a nice chat with the Librarian about the modern Library. He didn't want to be on camera though, perhaps I'll convince someone this afternoon at the IACFP co-sponsored coffee break at 3pm. Who's stopping by for a cup?

Correctional Psychology - Types of Correctional Facilities
Correctional Psychology - Types of Correctional Facilities - Wellsphere
I came across this interesting blog from the Mental Health Community Blog, posted by Jeremiah D:
Psychology - Types of Correctional FacilitiesPosted Mar 03 2009
When considering the concept of corrections, it is important to understand just how complex a correctional system can be. In the United States, for example, you have a federal system, 50 distinct state systems, and thousands of local systems. In addition, there is a separate system for military issues, and there are separate considerations for juveniles. Each state (plus the federal government) determines how it administers its own correctional system, in terms of the various laws, levels of punishment, who is arrested, and how people are incarcerated. Complicated indeed."
