"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

Photo: Michael Montgomery/KQED\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But the initiative is raising concern among prisoner rights advocates and some experts who worry that it will do little to improve stark conditions or cut the backlog of inmates awaiting placement into the units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s nothing I can see in this policy that will change the flow of inmates into these very expensive facilities,” said David Ward, a retired University of Minnesota sociologist who served on an influential 2007 expert panel appointed by the state to study how California manages prison gangs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At issue are California’s four Security Housing Units, which are designed to isolate the state’s most dangerous inmates, including those connected to violent prison gangs. The units routinely have been denounced as inhumane by civil rights groups and were the focus of widespread hunger strikes last year.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early next month, the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation will begin modifying operations in the special units under a plan that has been in development for more than a year. The department has asserted that nearly all 3,000 inmates being held in the facilities – at Pelican Bay State Prison, California State Prison Corcoran, the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi and California State Prison Sacramento – are active in prison gangs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We've had years of violence in our facilities and in the community that have been driven by prison gangs,\" said Terri McDonald, the department's undersecretary of operations. \"We're going to implement this policy in a thoughtful, measured way to ensure institutional and community security.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Formal changes to state regulations could take several years, she said. In the meantime, the department is implementing the policy on a pilot basis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the plan, inmates are eligible to work their way out of the special units in three to four years if they complete special programs alongside prisoners from rival groups and do not engage in gang “behavior or activities.” McDonald said inmates will not be required to divulge inside information about the gangs in order to earn transfers out of the units, a controversial practice known as “debriefing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other changes include new criteria to determine who can be sent to the units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under current rules, an inmate is automatically placed in a Security Housing Unit if he is identified as a member or associate of one of seven prison gangs. According to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/426284-stg-draft-policy-3-1-12.html\" target=\"_blank\">policy draft\u003c/a> released by the corrections department in March, prison gang associates would be sent to isolation units only if they were “engaged in serious criminal gang behavior or a pattern of violent behavior.” The department also would target dangerous members of any group considered a threat to prison security, including street gangs and extremist groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The changes will give prison staff more flexibility in dealing with a range of “security threat groups,” according to an Aug. 30 corrections department \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/426259-security-threat-group-notice-from-cdcr.html\" target=\"_blank\">notice\u003c/a> sent to the California Correctional Peace Officers Association, the powerful union representing prison guards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new policies will put California more closely in line with “recognized national standards and strategies,” staving off the “inevitable litigation and court mandated changes the State would face by remaining exclusively reliant on the current … system,” according to the document.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But revisions in a June 29 corrections \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/426255-stg-policy-7-0.html\" target=\"_blank\">document\u003c/a> obtained by \u003ca href=\"http://californiawatch.org\" target=\"_blank\">California Watch\u003c/a>, The Bay Citizen's sister site, suggest that officials are moving away from the narrower focus on specific criminal or violent acts. Rather, they appear to be reviving controversial guidelines that have allowed authorities to send inmates to the special units for violations such as gang-related tattoos and drawings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The updated version of the policy relies on a number of factors to determine whether an inmate already identified as an associate of a security threat group would be placed in isolation – roughly two-thirds of the inmates currently in the special units are classified as associates. In addition to violent acts such as murder and assault, prison officials would consider an inmate’s disciplinary record, including:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Security threat group-related tattoos and/or body markings\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Clothing worn “with the intent to intimidate, promote membership or depict affiliation in a security threat group”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The leading or incitement of a disturbance, riot or strike\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Possession of artwork showing security threat group symbols\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Use of hand signs, gestures, handshakes and slogans that specifically relate to a security threat group\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Advocacy groups have long complained that the evidence used by the corrections department, like tattoos and drawings, often is vague and inaccurate. They also say the process does not always identify men involved in violent or illegal acts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The department's approach continues to be guilt by association,\" said Don Specter, director of the Berkeley-based Prison Law Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But McDonald said the guidelines are a useful tool in identifying high-risk inmates active in violent gangs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you put a gang tattoo on your body, you are saying to the inmate community, 'I'm a member of this gang; I represent the values of this gang.' It's a purposeful act,\" she said. \"You're propagating gang behavior in the prisons, and you're creating a risk to the institution and the community.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, McDonald said she expects some inmates now being held in the special units could qualify for transfer under the new policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A special committee already has begun to review the case files of nearly every inmate at Pelican Bay’s Security Housing Unit using the department's new gang-related disciplinary criteria. The first reviews could be finished next month, after officials complete a visit to Pelican Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe there will be inmates who are reviewed in the case-by-case reviews … who, based on their willingness not to be engaged in gang behavior, will be released out to a general-population prison setting,” McDonald said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said that initially, the reviews will focus on inmates who have been held in the special units the longest. According to department data released last year, some 500 prisoners have been locked in isolation for more than a decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charles Carbone, a prominent prisoner rights attorney, said the new policy lacks credibility, and it would be difficult for the department to persuade inmates to participate in the programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The promised reforms are a power grab,” he said. “They give the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation more authority and power to track more prisoners for gang activity and to place, ultimately, more in supermax prison settings. This is not a scaling back of supermax prisons as is being done in other states.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, lawyers for the Center for Constitutional Rights filed a lawsuit on behalf of hundreds of Pelican Bay inmates who have served more than 10 years in the prison’s Security Housing Unit, claiming their prolonged isolation in windowless cells violated due process and amounted to cruel and unusual punishment. A federal judge has scheduled a case management conference for December.\u003c/p>\n\n",

According to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/426284-stg-draft-policy-3-1-12.html\" target=\"_blank\">policy draft\u003c/a> released by the corrections department in March, prison gang associates would be sent to isolation units only if they were “engaged in serious criminal gang behavior or a pattern of violent behavior.” The department also would target dangerous members of any group considered a threat to prison security, including street gangs and extremist groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The changes will give prison staff more flexibility in dealing with a range of “security threat groups,” according to an Aug. 30 corrections department \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/426259-security-threat-group-notice-from-cdcr.html\" target=\"_blank\">notice\u003c/a> sent to the California Correctional Peace Officers Association, the powerful union representing prison guards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new policies will put California more closely in line with “recognized national standards and strategies,” staving off the “inevitable litigation and court mandated changes the State would face by remaining exclusively reliant on the current … system,” according to the document.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But revisions in a June 29 corrections \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/426255-stg-policy-7-0.html\" target=\"_blank\">document\u003c/a> obtained by \u003ca href=\"http://californiawatch.org\" target=\"_blank\">California Watch\u003c/a>, The Bay Citizen's sister site, suggest that officials are moving away from the narrower focus on specific criminal or violent acts. Rather, they appear to be reviving controversial guidelines that have allowed authorities to send inmates to the special units for violations such as gang-related tattoos and drawings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The updated version of the policy relies on a number of factors to determine whether an inmate already identified as an associate of a security threat group would be placed in isolation – roughly two-thirds of the inmates currently in the special units are classified as associates. In addition to violent acts such as murder and assault, prison officials would consider an inmate’s disciplinary record, including:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Security threat group-related tattoos and/or body markings\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Clothing worn “with the intent to intimidate, promote membership or depict affiliation in a security threat group”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The leading or incitement of a disturbance, riot or strike\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Possession of artwork showing security threat group symbols\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Use of hand signs, gestures, handshakes and slogans that specifically relate to a security threat group\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Advocacy groups have long complained that the evidence used by the corrections department, like tattoos and drawings, often is vague and inaccurate. They also say the process does not always identify men involved in violent or illegal acts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The department's approach continues to be guilt by association,\" said Don Specter, director of the Berkeley-based Prison Law Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But McDonald said the guidelines are a useful tool in identifying high-risk inmates active in violent gangs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you put a gang tattoo on your body, you are saying to the inmate community, 'I'm a member of this gang; I represent the values of this gang.' It's a purposeful act,\" she said. \"You're propagating gang behavior in the prisons, and you're creating a risk to the institution and the community.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, McDonald said she expects some inmates now being held in the special units could qualify for transfer under the new policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A special committee already has begun to review the case files of nearly every inmate at Pelican Bay’s Security Housing Unit using the department's new gang-related disciplinary criteria. The first reviews could be finished next month, after officials complete a visit to Pelican Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe there will be inmates who are reviewed in the case-by-case reviews … who, based on their willingness not to be engaged in gang behavior, will be released out to a general-population prison setting,” McDonald said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said that initially, the reviews will focus on inmates who have been held in the special units the longest. According to department data released last year, some 500 prisoners have been locked in isolation for more than a decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charles Carbone, a prominent prisoner rights attorney, said the new policy lacks credibility, and it would be difficult for the department to persuade inmates to participate in the programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The promised reforms are a power grab,” he said. “They give the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation more authority and power to track more prisoners for gang activity and to place, ultimately, more in supermax prison settings. This is not a scaling back of supermax prisons as is being done in other states.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She then brought these to a meeting place, where the conwomen gave her a fake jade bracelet as collateral.

She then brought these to a meeting place, where the conwomen gave her a fake jade bracelet as collateral.

He tells us unions rose and fell with the economy and boy, did they have \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_banking_crises\">a lot\u003c/a> of booms and busts back then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They [unions] tended to grow and thrive in times of prosperity,” Cherny says, “when it was possible for employers to improve wages or to improve hours because there was such a demand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there were the recessions, and they were often so fierce that unions simply collapsed. New ones sprouted up only when the economy recovered. Employers also banded then broke up, with greater and lesser effect on the local labor market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1890s, employers had the upper hand, and they used it to quash labor unions, picking them off one by one. Few unions survived the decade, “but those that did,\" Cherny says, \"began to form central bodies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Building trade unions, for example, banded together. “The plumbers, the carpenters, the painters, the roofers and so forth.” That way, a strike by one union was a strike by all, and they could shut down – or threaten to shut down – the entire construction industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Front Federation pulled together the Sailor's Union of the Pacific, the longshoremen's unions, and a brand new local for the Teamsters. The Teamsters' refusal to haul luggage from a non-union \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drayage\">drayage\u003c/a> firm caused the strike, but also provided a convenient focal point for the latest employer’s association - and for that matter, the City Front Federation.

Soon hundreds of locked out Teamsters found themselves among others who had already been on strike: restaurant cooks and waiters, bakers and bakery wagon drivers, metal polishers, and all fourteen unions of the Iron Trades Council, who were part of a national strike.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_74902\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/08/1-Scab-Escort.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-74902\" title=\"1-Scab-Escort\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/08/1-Scab-Escort-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A 1901 scab teamster with a San Francisco police escort. On the side of the wagon is the company name McNab & Smith. (Courtesy of SF's Marine Firemen's Union)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>It was July, 1901, high summer, and Professor Cherny notes regional produce was ready to roll or rot. The employers brought in strikebreakers. The city brought in police. The employers brought in \"specials\" who acted like police with city sanction. Still, the strike dragged on. Picketing workers were clubbed and even shot. They threw stones at the strikebreakers, in turn, and marbles under the horses pulling the carts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The employers went to Sacramento to seek the aid of Republican Governor \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Gage\">Henry Gage\u003c/a>. Bring in the militia, they suggested. He didn't do that, but he did come to San Francisco - and proceeded to meet with \u003ca href=\"http://books.google.com/books/about/Father_Yorke_and_the_labor_movement_in_S.html?id=jmk6AAAAMAAJ\">Father Peter Yorke\u003c/a>, an Irish Catholic priest whose support was critical for Gage in the 1898 election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We don't know what Peter Yorke said to Governor Gage,\" Cherny says, \"but what Governor Gage did was to bring in the Drayman's Association and the Teamsters Union, and close the door on the employer's association.\" Alone at the negotiating table, the two principals quickly settled their differences. Finally, the strike was over. It was October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thus was born the inspiration for the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Labor_Party_%28California%29\">Union Labor Party\u003c/a>, which nominated Eugene Schmitz, president of the local Musicians' Union, as its candidate for Mayor. The ULP put up a whole slate of candidates that November and won three supervisors' seats in addition to the mayoralty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thus began the reign of the ULP, which lasted through 1911. Even by labor accounts, there was a lot of corruption. In short, you had to go through one man, the Republican Party's Abraham Ruef, to land a city permit or contract, and this quickly created a situation where everybody had too much at stake to complain openly. In 1911, a change in state law required that city candidates be non-partisan. Labor councils then endorsed candidates but didn't run them in elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When the \u003ca href=\"http://www.aflcio.org/About/Our-History\">AFL\u003c/a> (the American Federation of Labor) was formed in 1886 as a nationwide, umbrella organization for unions,\" Cherny says, \"one of their guiding principles was 'stay out of politics.' The San Francisco unions, and the California unions more generally, never paid much attention to that, because they always saw politics as being crucial to the success of unions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looking at the 1901 strike, he goes on, “you can see why unions felt that it was very important to have a friendly administration in city hall. Or if not a friendly one, at least a neutral one, not one that was on the side of the employers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All right, lesson over.

New ones sprouted up only when the economy recovered. Employers also banded then broke up, with greater and lesser effect on the local labor market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1890s, employers had the upper hand, and they used it to quash labor unions, picking them off one by one. Few unions survived the decade, “but those that did,\" Cherny says, \"began to form central bodies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Building trade unions, for example, banded together. “The plumbers, the carpenters, the painters, the roofers and so forth.” That way, a strike by one union was a strike by all, and they could shut down – or threaten to shut down – the entire construction industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Front Federation pulled together the Sailor's Union of the Pacific, the longshoremen's unions, and a brand new local for the Teamsters. The Teamsters' refusal to haul luggage from a non-union \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drayage\">drayage\u003c/a> firm caused the strike, but also provided a convenient focal point for the latest employer’s association - and for that matter, the City Front Federation.

Soon hundreds of locked out Teamsters found themselves among others who had already been on strike: restaurant cooks and waiters, bakers and bakery wagon drivers, metal polishers, and all fourteen unions of the Iron Trades Council, who were part of a national strike.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_74902\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/08/1-Scab-Escort.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-74902\" title=\"1-Scab-Escort\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/08/1-Scab-Escort-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A 1901 scab teamster with a San Francisco police escort. On the side of the wagon is the company name McNab & Smith. (Courtesy of SF's Marine Firemen's Union)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>It was July, 1901, high summer, and Professor Cherny notes regional produce was ready to roll or rot. The employers brought in strikebreakers. The city brought in police. The employers brought in \"specials\" who acted like police with city sanction. Still, the strike dragged on. Picketing workers were clubbed and even shot. They threw stones at the strikebreakers, in turn, and marbles under the horses pulling the carts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The employers went to Sacramento to seek the aid of Republican Governor \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Gage\">Henry Gage\u003c/a>. Bring in the militia, they suggested. He didn't do that, but he did come to San Francisco - and proceeded to meet with \u003ca href=\"http://books.google.com/books/about/Father_Yorke_and_the_labor_movement_in_S.html?id=jmk6AAAAMAAJ\">Father Peter Yorke\u003c/a>, an Irish Catholic priest whose support was critical for Gage in the 1898 election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We don't know what Peter Yorke said to Governor Gage,\" Cherny says, \"but what Governor Gage did was to bring in the Drayman's Association and the Teamsters Union, and close the door on the employer's association.\" Alone at the negotiating table, the two principals quickly settled their differences. Finally, the strike was over. It was October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thus was born the inspiration for the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Labor_Party_%28California%29\">Union Labor Party\u003c/a>, which nominated Eugene Schmitz, president of the local Musicians' Union, as its candidate for Mayor. The ULP put up a whole slate of candidates that November and won three supervisors' seats in addition to the mayoralty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thus began the reign of the ULP, which lasted through 1911. Even by labor accounts, there was a lot of corruption. In short, you had to go through one man, the Republican Party's Abraham Ruef, to land a city permit or contract, and this quickly created a situation where everybody had too much at stake to complain openly. In 1911, a change in state law required that city candidates be non-partisan. Labor councils then endorsed candidates but didn't run them in elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When the \u003ca href=\"http://www.aflcio.org/About/Our-History\">AFL\u003c/a> (the American Federation of Labor) was formed in 1886 as a nationwide, umbrella organization for unions,\" Cherny says, \"one of their guiding principles was 'stay out of politics.' The San Francisco unions, and the California unions more generally, never paid much attention to that, because they always saw politics as being crucial to the success of unions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looking at the 1901 strike, he goes on, “you can see why unions felt that it was very important to have a friendly administration in city hall. Or if not a friendly one, at least a neutral one, not one that was on the side of the employers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
