Just as Attorney General Eric Holder was rightly decrying the impact of onerous drug sentences for low-level, nonviolent offenders this summer, the federal Bureau of Prisons began to implement plans that would dramatically increase the burdens of imprisonment on women inmates. The sole federal prison for women in the Northeast — a facility for 1,100 in Danbury, Conn. — is scheduled to be converted into an institution for men, and many of the female prisoners will be transferred to rural Alabama, making family visits virtually impossible. Only 200 beds for women will remain in Danbury, attached in a lower-security camp — far too few to hold the roughly 900 women from the Northeast who receive federal prison sentences each year. After the bureau’s plans became known, 11 senators from the Northeast asked for a suspension, pending more information, and the bureau temporarily halted some transfers. Yet some women have already been sent to West Virginia, and many will end up in a new federal prison in Aliceville, Ala., a community of 2,500 near the Mississippi border. That remote facility, which can house 1,800, is a throwback to when prisoners were isolated far from society. No public transportation goes to Aliceville. Read More. |
