The LEAA-funded project was conducted by the National Association of Blacks in Criminal Justice and ended May 31, 1982. Activities included the publication of a newsletter, development of a profile of recruitment and training of minority correctional employees, and provision of training in stress management for 250 minority persons in corrections. Subjects covered in research papers are (1) overrepresentation of minority populations in correctional institutions, (2) the need to change the relationship between prisons and the political and economic context of the larger society in order to change the disproportionate incarceration of black people, (3) the 1981 report of the Attorney General's Task Force on Violent Crime, and (4) differential processing based on race and differential imprisonment, with 61 recommendations for reducing differential imprisonment.
