Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The staffing ratio among primary workers in Canadian federal correctional services is constructed in discussions of the role of men in federal prisons for women in the Arbour report, responding to purported deplorable actions directed at women prison residence, violating their rights, liberties, and persons. Yet, an empirical understanding of how the staffing ratio came to fruition is missing in national and international contexts. In this article, we strive to understand the current justifications in literature, policy, and legislation that inform the male-to-female ratio of primary workers in women's penitentiaries. Through history, we explore the factors that have informed staff deployment, touch on transperson placement, and explore the "ideal" versus "necessary" male-to-female primary worker ratio of primary workers' sex/gender.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
