American Correctional Association; National Institute of Corrections
American Correctional Assn. (ACA) leaders were instrumental in establishing the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) in 1972. A Sep. 1971 riot at the Correctional Facility in Attica, NY, showed the need for correctional reform. ACA officials were responsible for calling a meeting of legislators and correctional leaders following the riot, which led to the creation of the NIC. Since its inception, the NIC has provided financial support to the programs of state and local correctional institutions.

Jerry Rosenberg, a convicted cop killer who became a tireless jailhouse lawyer and a negotiator during the bloody Attica prison riot, died Monday in the medical unit of Wende Correctional Facility in Alden. He was 72.
Rosenberg was New York's longest serving inmate, spending 46 years in state prisons for a botched 1962 stickup at Brooklyn's Boro Park Tobacco Co. that left two police detectives dead. Rosenberg had always maintained his innocence.

CHINO - A riot that injured more than 200 inmates at the California Institution for Men in Chino and gutted one of the prison's reception centers might have been avoided had administrators responded properly to concerns raised by state auditors and complaints from the facility's staff, according to some corrections officers at the prison.
Auditors in recent years uncovered major deficiencies in the upkeep and maintenance of the prison's facilities and warned that failure to follow proper procedures for segregating high-risk inmates from those with less serious offenses might pose a danger to the facility, its staff and inmates housed there.
