I started Incarceration of women - It's a really important subject, and I hope more editors tackle the subject! WhisperToMe ( talk) 08:25, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
The short article Capital punishment in Ecuador says "According to the Código Penal de la Republica del Ecuador, the only crime for which Capital Punishment is currently the sentence is piracy on the high seas." However, every other source I can find says that Ecuador has abolished capital punishment. I do not know Spanish, so I would not be able to read the local laws. Can anybody help?

It looks like a significant percentage of the articles with invalid HTML are prison articles which had a strangely formatting infobox substituted in many many years ago. These need to be updated to use {{ Infobox Prison}}. A good number of them can be found with this search. Kaldari ( talk) 18:10, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
I searched verdana, sans-serif; padding: 6px; (a string in the freakish infoboxes of the prison articles, and it came up with Buka Entertainment. Is there a catch-all search that will find more of these? Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 08:52, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
I just started it and don't know much about the subject. I could use a bit of help, particularly on what sections would be appropriate. Thanks. Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 22:18, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
To prevent overlap, and help the article grow in the right direction, we really need some advice. Please, if you know what's already covered in other Wikipedia articles, post at Talk:Prisoner and advise on what the article should contain. Many thanks. Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 05:09, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
I've added a history section to the Prison reform article, as I had to agree with the comments on the discussion page about how terrible an article it was. It's only a start and since I'm not an expert on the subject I'd be glad if people could correct any obvious mistakes. Chris55 ( talk) 14:55, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

I propose to make edits to the current page titled ‘Juvenile Delinquency in the US’. Seeing as how important this issue is in America, I think the page is lacking a lot of important information. I plan to add the following sections: introduction to juvenile delinquency, recent statistics, the cradle to prison pipeline, and the juvenile justice debate, and preventing juvenile delinquency. It is very important to educate the Wikipedia world on this topic, and to show how much room there is for improvement. Showing the room for improvement, this page might have the ability of enacting social change and changing future generations of children for the better. I think that these changes are important to this wiki project because the current juvenile justice debate going on in the US is largely related to the punishment and correction of juvenile delinquents. I think that these additions would greatly improve the content that exits in the Wikipedia world that relates to correction and detention facilities. MariaNunez ( talk) 04:10, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

I was about to flesh out the section on the UK, on which I have extensive knowledge, when I opened this discussion page and found an enormous industry going on to discuss first steps on how to organise thinking about how to start work on the project.....fun for born bureaucrats, but for me, life is too short, and if this is what Wiki has become, it is sad. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.105.228.250 ( talk) 13:44, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

All the statistics are outdated and the section for China includes a note that it is only sentenced prisoners being counted, not prisoners with no sentence who may have been there for years. Before going into a philosophical debate, can someone at least get some current info? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.122.101.66 ( talk) 06:01, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
It would be quite a project just to catalog all the prison structures in the USA. The federal locations could be gotten pretty easily from the BOP. State and territory almost pretty well (I think its important to include the Virgin Islands) Would you include the DoD prisons (Leavenworth, Ft Meade, Quantico) I think you have to. What about Guantanamo, Bagram, the Salt Pit, CIA sites... It would be nice but harder and open ended.
Locations of the SHU, CMU. Security levels. There is so much without even getting to people (prisoners) or procedures (mis/treatment) ( Martin | talk • contribs 01:55, 6 April 2012 (UTC)) To have a catalog of prisons throughout the world would be awesome. I can't see it happening. ( Martin | talk • contribs 01:57, 6 April 2012 (UTC))
Would there be a table of prisons, that might link to the page for the particular prison? That seems like a natural type of control document. Table columns: 1. country(=usa), 2 responsible authority: (federal or state or territory, or county, or city), 3. name of facility (linked to wiki article)

G'day, Just wondering if it is appropriate for concentration and extermination camps to be included in this WikiProject? They really are strictly neither correction or detention facilities.
What about prisoner of war camps and civilian internment facilities? Thanks, Peacemaker67 ( talk) 03:57, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
