It summarizes arguments by Federal Bureau of Prisons Director Norman A. Carlson, who describes the shift from extreme punitive approaches to a “medical model” of rehabilitation, while emphasizing that neither extreme is adequate. Carlson stresses that effective policy must span a continuum of programs, candidly explain limits to legislators and the public, and manage expectations for what criminal justice can achieve in changing human behavior.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":35,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/healthcare/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/corrections-needs-stable-balance-if-it-is-to-help-inmatesserve-the-public/449193/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/corrections-needs-stable-balance-if-it-is-to-help-inmatesserve-the-public/449193.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Chumphorn","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-05","2026-09-30",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":19},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What does Norman A.

Subcommittee on Crime continueshearings on two measures to reauthorize LEAA-the counterpart to the Senate version introducedby Rep.Peter Rodino(D-N.J.),chairman of theHouse Judiciary Committee,and the CriminalJustice Assistance Act of 1979(HR-2108),whichwas introduced by Rep.John Conyers(D-Mich.),chairman of the crime subcommittee.  \nThe markup session in the House will probablybe held during the

\nTo achieve a realistic and stable balance,Federal Bureau of Prisons Director Norman A.Carlson says American corrections must developa range of programs that“span the continuum”from unsupervised probation for first offendersto maximum-security prisons for violent anddangerous criminals.  \nWithin the last decade,corrections has movedfrom one extreme -represented by a punitive“Iock up all offenders”approach-to the otherextreme -the so-called \"medical model\"empha-sizing rehabilitation.  \nIn a speech delivered early this month inTallahassee,Fla.,to the Southern Conference onCorrections,Carlson said such radical changes inprofessional philosophy \"are not necessarily asbad as some would imply.Society needs changeand innovation and nothing can be learned with-out attempting the new.Movements of thependulum are inevitable in human affairs andwhatever the eventual outcome,each swingtends to produce a degree of lasting progress.\"  \nWhile corrections appears to be swinging awayfrom the “medical model”toward a recognition ofthe fact that criminals are sentenced to prison aspunishment and to stop them from committingmore crimes,Carlson noted that professionalsstill recognize the negative impact of broken homes,ghettos,lack of education and vocational trainingand drug addiction.  \n“..We readily acknowledge these character-istics in most
