Prison Course Works Samples For Students

The first design also referred to as the first generation jails were established during the 18th century. The first design consisted of division of the spaces to form fixed cells or seating areas that resembled cages. The rows of the prison cells had autonomous cell blocks that were facing the spacious cage-like areas. The prisoners were kept in the cages like animals and were allowed minimal contact with the wardens. The prisoners experienced extreme boredom and idleness that occasionally led to fighting and violent outbursts. The wardens passed food to the prisoners through the slotted door spaces in the ...

- Considering the demand of the citizens, America has toughened its stand on the criminals and put them into prisons. However, this step has caused a different problem. The American prisons are overcrowded and the government faces the ire of judiciary as well as several human rights organization that demand a human treatment for the prisoners. An easy option before the American government is to privatize the prisons to provide the prisoners a comfortable life. The american government is exploring every option to look into the probaility of privatizing the prisons.

Privatization of prisons does not mean that the government is ...

In the most unlikely places are literary themes that are eerily similar. Such is the case for “The Ballad of Reading Gaol,” In Cold Blood, and “The Crucible,” a poem by Oscar Wilde, a novel by Truman Capote, and a play by Arthur Miller, respectively. Although each of these pieces of literature deal with different time periods and different experiences, each discusses the darkness inside the human soul, the piercing reality of very banal, human evil that burns inside most people. While Capote’s characters chase the ghost of a murderer around a complex, interwoven plot, Miller’s characters fight against a corrupt, hysterical system ...

Question One

Private Prisons
Private prisons were banned in the Mid-20th Century because they were views as the new form of slavery. During the progressive era, the last private prison was closed down. Commercialization of Prison system was demonized by religious groups and Human rights activists. The business revived again in the 20 the century. This was as a result of the increased incarceration efforts by the criminal justice system. In order to reduce the crime rate, the courts opted to adopt tough sentencing rules. Currently, the United States of America has incarcerated over two million inmates. The phenomenon creates a situation ...

Question One

Privatization of Prisons
There is an emerging trend in the western countries of Privatization of prisons. Because of the huge costs that are incurred in the construction of a new correctional facility, countries such as the United States of America and Britain have opted to subcontract private prisons to cater for the rising need for space in the prison facilities. Mass incarceration has created an opportunity niche that is currently being exploited by American Business people. The privatization of prisons in the United States is caused by the punitive measures and the tough sentencing rules adopted by the criminal ...

Upon thorough investigations and hearing of his case, Tyrone Freeman was eventually found guilty. In his ruling, the Federal Judge Collins found Freeman guilty of 14 counts involving embezzlement, theft of assets, filling of wrong tax personal return, mail fraud and misleading a federally insured financial institution. Because of this, he was given a 33-month-jail term and fined a total of $150,000 that he misappropriated from the union and used to fund his relatives’ businesses and spent in Hawaii during his lavish wedding with his Executive Assistant (now wife).

- The extent to which. the Proposed Consent Decree squarely addresses the situation, the policy and procedure, directive, and the appellate court decision

Consent decree is the resolving of a lawsuit where an individual or a corporation reaches a resolution to take specific actions without admission of guilt for the occurrence that resulted to the lawsuit. This settlement is contained in a court order as the court instructs relief against the defendant and comes to a decision to the maintenance of jurisdiction against the case to ensure the settlement is followed (Hensley et al, 2006, pg. 389). This case involves Plaintiffs Jack Jones and ...

Introduction

Since 9/11, the specter of terror attacks has turned US terror policies upside down. Legislations that broadened the scope of government ability to detain terrorist as well as an extensive overhaul of government departments ensued. The US, long known for its adherence to due process, immediately gathered and arrested terrorist suspects detaining them in a military prison facility outside of the country taking liberties that it would not have ordinarily done or allowed to do under ordinary circumstances. The handling of terrorist suspects is one of the most debated issues in recent times. On one hand, the government wants to ...

Q1. The imprisonment of ten percent of Black American parents has huge social implications on the affected families and the Black community in United States of America.

It leads to loss of income and make it difficult for the remaining Black American parent to raise his or her children. The loss of income is responsible for high poverty level among the affected families. For children from single parent, the imprisonment leads to poor parenting because of the changes in caregivers. The affected children can acquire deviant behavior if he or she identifies with the parent. Consequently, the imprisonment of parents elevates the chances that a black child shall develop antisocial behavior. Indeed, some studies have shown that the affected children are more likely to experience negative outcome ...

Introduction

Under criminal law, false arrest occurs when one party holds another wrongfully and takes them to custody against their will. This can be committed by both law enforcement agencies and private persons. It is a crime to restrict wrongfully or limit the personal freedom of another person against their consent (Rix, 1995). Anyone doing this commits a crime of false imprisonment. The remedies available to the victim of false imprisonment depend on the harm caused. In most cases, however, the victims have the remedy of damages.

There is no doubt that Dziuma was falsely arrested, and he was never given a chance ...

Solitary Confinement: Forced isolation-issues and concerns

One of the more disquieting trends prevailing in the American correctional system is the rising instances of drawn out and at times fixed practices of cruel solitary isolation in “supermax” prisons to detain prisoners that the government deem as extremely dangerous. Majority of these prisoners are detained for extended periods in solitary confinement facilities. In a number of states and in the Federal correctional system, there are a number of inmates that have been literally sent to harsh solitary confinement for all of their sentences in prison. For example, a set of prisoners in the Ohio correctional system have been designated ...

TB cases between 1985 and 1992 were recorded to have increased by an alarming rate of 20%. While much effort has since then been placed in controlling the prevalence and spread of the disease, there is still a gap that needs to be filled. This involves ensuring the full utilization of available health resources to bring the cases to an absolute minimum (Aguirre, K. M). The resurgence in TB could have been attributed to a lack of systematic management of TB cases and lack of proper structures aimed at promoting wellness and health education in the society. It is clear that ...

Question one:

White collar crimes are essentially the non-violent crimes committed by persons of high social status who do not consider themselves as criminals. The individuals are usually in a position of trust. They choose to violate that trust and, as a result, deleterious ramifications follow. Their crimes affect thousands of households. Countries have stipulated steep penalties to white collar crimes. In China, the punishment for white collar crimes is the death penalty. In the United States of America, steep penalties were stipulated after the Jeffery Skilling and Enron Scandal. President Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, in 2002 which provided for ...

Question 1

Should private prisons be used as a way to reduce prison overcrowding? Why, or why not? What do you feel should be done to help mitigate prevention of prison overcrowding? Provide detailed examples, and explain why these would benefit the corrections system.

Response 1

Yes, private prisons should be used to reduce prison overcrowding. In 2006, former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed an Emergency Proclamation that authorized the state of California to transfer prisoners to private-out-of-state prisons . The transfer of some inmates to private prisons mitigates prevention of prison overcrowding and it benefits the correction system; however, to the families and friends ...

History of Women Working in the Criminal Justice System

The history of women in criminal justice system has started centuries ago. It depicts the perfect example of having an equal situation between men and women in an apparently fair system of the organization. If we are going to look at the history of women in the criminal justice system, it shows that women who were working in the justice system have been oppressed (Beery, 2004). That is because our criminal justice system was and still designed based on the system that is being controlled by men. Thus, its design is to control wayward men, which started hundreds ...

A controversial issue of human rights in the United States (US) is the question of whether or not a prisoner is entitled to rights under the Constitution. Presumably, a prisoner in the US has lesser constitutional rights due to criminal charges against him. Part of the punishment a prisoner receives from committing criminal acts is the denial of his freedom through prison detention that lasts depending on the sentence the court has issued. As per initial impression, it would seem that a prisoner has become less than a normal citizen due to his status as a legally detained individual. The fact that a prisoner has severely ...

The prison system in the United States has undergone a lot of changes. The prisons are used to hold those who are sentenced to more than one year while the jails are for people sentenced to less than one year. The United State has the highest rate of incarceration in the world.

In the past, prisoners were subjected to hard labor without pay. This has improved significantly due to the efforts of human rights and labor organizations. Prisoners are given training in prisons and they are now paid for the work they do. This has enabled them to save for ...

Prisons are an essential organ in the criminal justice system of the United States of America. Prisons serve the purpose of reforming, rehabilitating and keeping the offenders away from the society so as not only to protect the society but also protect the offenders from an angry society that is tempted to take the law into their hands.

There are a number of challenges that the United States prison system faces especially with the inclusion of imprisoned terrorists. It is imperative to consider whether terrorists can be reformed and rehabilitated and thus fit for prison. Arguments have been advanced to ...

Any development program comes with its own challenges. Before establishing an investment, there is needed to look at the effects that the development will have on the society. Putting all the factors into consideration will assist an investor to make a considerate decision. Some of the challenges can be on short term while others are experienced even in the long run.

Construction of the private prison comes with its advantages and advantages. It is expected that the prison will be able to generate revenue that people will use in the development of the community. The prison will also lead to ...

Radicalization is a process through which a person embraces a more radical or extreme approach towards an ideology. The ideology could be political, social or religious, but normally the term radicalization is used to denote embracing those ideologies which rejects the generally accepted norms, notions or values. Prison is a place where radicalization can be triggered easily because, its isolated environment and the lack of distractions, offer the perfect platform for a person to lean towards and adopt an extreme set of ideologies. The inmates who are already radicalized have the ideal opportunity to target a group of young men, who already have had a brush ...

According to the Handbook on Prisoners with Special Needs, which is part of the Criminal Justice Handbook Series, released by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, in 2009, all prisoners are vulnerable to a certain degree, since their freedom is restricted and placed under the authority of another one(s), while in many cases abuse of power is intense, which makes things worse (p.4). However, even when there is no abuse, “prison conditions themselves in a large majority of countries worldwide are harmful to the physical and mental well-being of prisoners, due to overcrowding, violence, poor physical conditions, ...

What do you make of a system that locks people up for profit?

Incarceration is a sensitive issue in the criminal justice system of all states, especially in this era when the criminologists are championing for rehabilitation. Still, Louisiana is recognized as the prison capital of the world. The motivation behind this fact is quite obvious – profit. In the year 1990 a federal court ordered Louisiana to do something about the rising prison population – either to employ policies that would ensure decongestion or to build more prisons (Chang, 2012). The latter option appeared more appealing to the unscrupulous leaders that subordinated wider interest to personal gains. In my opinion, it is against ...

Corrections officers play a huge role in the criminal justice system of a country. They maintain order in prisons or rehabilitative institutions in order to keep the general public safe from dangerous criminals. Their main responsibility is to maintain peace and order in prison cells while ensuring everyone observes and follows established regulations and procedures. In other parts of the world, they are also called detention officers and prison officers. Correction officers take full control and responsibility of inmates' security and well-being while doing jail time apart from performing administrative tasks in the institution.

A correctional officer's function is important ...

Prisons were introduced in the 1700s as correctional facilities to punish and mould the behavior of lawbreakers. A prison administrator is an individual charged with the responsibility of maintaining order in a prison. Titles such as superintendent, governor, and warden are used in reference to prison administrators. The most important goals of prison administrators are maintaining control over the prison system, offering care, and managing custody of the inmates (Cornelius, 2010). The achievement of these goals, however, depends on factors that affect the administrators. These factors include the problem of overpopulation in the facilities, issues among inmates, and inadequate budget ...

The three-strikes rule in American law is often associated with drug users, but in reality, the rule varies from state to state. Usually, the three-strikes rule states that offenders who are guilty of more than two serious offenses-- usually felonies-- can be sentenced to life in prison (Stanford University Law School, 2013). These offenses may be violent offenses like child abuse or rape, or they may be non-violent offenses like drug possession or possession with intent to distribute (Staples, 2012). The reason why so many people decry the three-strikes rule as unfair or even potentially unethical is because the ...

The rational choice and deterrence theories of crime attempt to explain the causes of crime and the spirit in sentencing. For that reason, the theories enable an understanding of the relationship between criminals, law enforcement, courts, corrections and society.

According to the rational choice theory, individuals commit crime on reasonable grounds. In many cases criminals would opt to commit crime so as to earn a living. This shows the relationship between society and crime. It suggests that crime would be prevalent in societies without decent opportunities for the people to earn some form of living. It is, therefore, essential for ...

Question 1

Just as Coyne explains, it becomes very hard for incarcerated women to relate well with their children. Women locked in prison do not get a good time and even opportunity to raise their children like other parents. It is very hard to explain to the children the reason why they are locked up and it is harder to convince them that some of them are there for petty issues, which do not deserve imprisonment for such a long time. Most women become so stressed on seeing that their children have bad behaviors and yet they have no power to mould, as ...

Mandatory minimum sentences are sentencing limitations in the United States that are dictated by law (Trial.laws.com, 2013). Certain crimes have been deemed so important by the United States legislature that they carry with them a minimum sentence that cannot be reduced by a judge; this is vastly different than most crimes, as the judge is allowed to take into account the circumstances of the crime when dictating a sentence (Trial.laws.com, 2013). The most common types of crimes that have mandatory minimum sentences are drug laws, but they are by no means the only types of crimes with these types of sentencing structures ( ...

Kidnapping is said to have occurred when an individual, unlawfully, physically moves or takes away another individual without that his or her consent, with the aim of using the abduction alongside some other despicable objective. Sanders(2003) defines kidnapping as the act of confining, imprisoning or abducting another person either secretly, by threat or forcibly with intention of that person for a reward or ransom, or as a hostage or shield. The other motives behind kidnaping are: to facilitate or commit felony,to harm or terrorize another person or the victim.

Lastly kidnapping may be committed with the intent of interfering ...

How do special needs, mentally ill, and substance-abusing prisoners affect the jail and prison systems at state and federal levels? Persons with disabilities include those who have long-term physical, mental, intellectual, or sensory impairments (Atabay, T., & United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, 2009). Their special needs demand treatment to reduce the risk they pose to themselves and the society. The prison authority at state and federal levels have to bestow special attention to such inmates along with generating funds, staff, and facilities for them and building them special programs aimed to rehabilitate them. Mentally ill inmates cost ...

Introduction

The core mission of the state imposing the probation and parole is to restore public safety through monitoring of adult felons under the jurisdiction of either parole or probation.

PART I

Felony probation is a process of releasing an offender to the community where the state is convinced that the offender will respond well to the reformation process. Those offenders who will be on probation are expected to be reporting to the probation officer, who would be monitoring their progress and behavior and in turn report to the state. Felony probation is practiced in United States to those offenders, who are believed ...

Plea bargaining occurs when the prosecuting attorney and the defendant agree that the accused should accept they are guilty in a specific charge and the attorney to reduce the charges or the sentence they had requested the jury. It is necessary to note that plea bargaining only applies in criminal cases. As a result of a plea bargain, the accused accepts guilt in a lesser charge than the one they had been accused of. For example, a plea bargain would result in the defendant pleading guilty to manslaughter when in the first instance they had been accused of murder. In return for the defendant’ ...

Gangs have continued to grow and spread in many American cities and counties. This occurrence has been paralleled by the growth of gangs in American prisons. Researchers reported that the boundaries between prison gangs and the community have become harder to identify because the gangs have become more sophisticated, and are a threat not only to the institutional security, but to the public safety, as well. According to a survey conducted by the National Gang Crime Research Center, in 1999, members of gangs in prisons and jails increased from 9.4%, in 1991, to 24.7%, in 1999. Other studies reported a smaller proportion ...

Recently, there has been a paradigm shift, mostly in western countries, from an emphasis on crime prevention, to punishment. According to Fowler (2008), this trend is expected to accelerate steadily, at least in the United States. For instance, with respect to juvenile crime, there has been a frequent call for heightened outlays on crime detection and law enforcement, and for increased penalties for criminal as well as other anti-social behaviour (Meyers, 2010). This paper seeks to review the psychological research evidence on the effectiveness of punishment, and propose alternatives to the current trends.

Hollin (2008) describes punishment as the response-contingent use ...

1. In your OWN words, define the following concepts of deterrence theory--general deterrence; specific deterrence; celerity; severity; certainty; AND explain utility principle for rational choice.

Specific deterrence is when an individual is punished for a crime; general deterrence is others decide not to commit crimes because they saw someone else get punished. Rational choice weighs the benefits and repercussions of a particular action, and takes into account: celerity, how the quickly punishment follows the crime; severity, (pg18) how harsh the punishment is and how well it suits the crime; and, certainty, how likely someone is to be punished for a crime. Both ...

They were used based on the needs f the students. The level of intervention increased when a student failed to respond to instructional strategies. For example, a student who slapped the teacher was given a detention while another student who threw a pencil to the teacher was given a detention which could be terminated if he behaved well for the rest of the day. The following are the behavior interventions used in this school

1. Behavior contract- was used to show responsibility of each student in order to help change behavior (Kinnder & Marchand 2005).
2. Behavior chart- used to make a record of ...

It is common for people, especially those opting for prison-related jobs, to perceive the prison as one of the most high-risk places. Such assumptions overlook the fact that compared to the number of prison wardens who die in a year, the number of prisoners who die in prisons is far much higher. It is disheartening to note that a significant percentage of these deaths are far from natural but are rather directly linked to medical neglect, sexual assaults, gang violence, and lack of rehabilitation in prisons among other causes, all of which being preventable causes. These deaths have always taken a plethora ...

Kolchin use the term ‘Paternalism’ to refer to the absolute control of all spheres of an individual’s life in a manner that he/she cannot harm himself/herself in an effort to get freedom. Paternalism therefore according to Kolchin, denies an individual the freedom and authority to make a choice. (Kolchin, 23)

The slave masters therefore exercised paternalism by denying their subjects the power to make a choice over issues that affected them. The slave masters believed that their subjects were not intellectually endowed to know anything and they should always be controlled.

Abstract

Natural and physical sciences have been considered older disciplines than social science. As such, speculations are that methodologies used in social science in many ways either overlap or have been remodeled for the purposes of interpreting social phenomenon. However, the argument has always pertained to determining the extent a social scientific perspective relies on methods drawn from the physical and natural sciences. In the following pages of this document the writer will conduct an evaluation by implicitly formulating a social scientific question; explaining its significance from a social scientific perspective; analyzing three specific research problems which can emerge from this question; providing a ...

Conjugal rights are used as a means of preserving family ties for couples married prior to the incarceration of one partner. Conjugal rights are currently offered to prisoners in medium to low security prisons. These prisoners have to undergo a number of requirements to qualify for this privilege. Indeed it is a privilege and not a right that is why it is only allowed in some and not all states. Presently the States that allow for conjugal rights are California, Connecticut, New York, Washington, Mississippi and New Mexico. The idea of conjugal visits was introduced by James Parchmann, the warden at the Mississippi ...

Introduction

This paper examines and discusses issues surrounding the current situation regarding capital punishment in Japan, where execution by hanging is still practiced, despite a number of expressed concerns. Japan is in a minority of the world’s countries still exercising the option of capital punishment. According to Rogers (Apr 2013), “there are nearly five times as many countries not executing prisoners as those that do in 2012.” The issue is not simply whether Japan should continue to use the death penalty, but also includes the way it treats prisoners on “Death Row” – those awaiting execution.

Although it is ...

Over a long period of time, the federal government has had struggles in instituting the rules and guidelines on matters of sentencing. This is so because of the sensitivity of the judicial sentencing authority especially following the Reform Act of 1984 which came as a replacement to the former traditional sentencing policy. The Reform Act of 1984 is a more strict authority which is proscribed by the enactment of mandatory guidelines to deal with sentencing. There also arose the limitation brought by the Supreme Court’s decision on the constitutional grounds with the exercise of mandatory guideline provided for in the sentencing ...

The criminal justice system have sought to instill peace and order to society. A careful evaluation of methods to deter crime, seek retribution, and impose punishment is through the imposition of the death penalty. Statistics from Amnesty International revealed that some countries still actively implement capital punishment. The countries that continue to execute inmates, in descending order, were disclosed as follows: “China, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, USA and Somalia” (Haddou, 2014, par. 2). There are people, groups, or nations that support capital punishment; while others contest the death penalty for specifically identified reasons. The current discourse ...

1.) a.) Observation and psychological testing in the assessment, selection and treatment of mentally ill offenders is important in order to creating a successful treatment program these offenders and to promote the public safety and security. It is difficult task on the part of the criminal justice system to pool together professionals who have the knowledge to understand the consequences imposed by both the criminal justice system and mental health treatment. At the same time, it is recommended that mental health professionals should be able to take into consideration the issues surrounding forensic patients, with the help of forensic clinicians ...

1) The idea of probation started when courts saw the need to suspend the execution of sentences to enable defendants appeal to the monarch for pardon. Courts further saw the need to allow defendants to reform by the time of sentencing. The advantages of probation include the provision of opportunities for reform by low-risk offenders in lieu of imprisonment. Probation also protects defendants’ employment and societal stability. Probation is also cheaper than incarceration, which costs taxpayers hundreds of dollars per day for each offender. Modern probation includes new forms such as diversion programs and electronic monitoring. Electronic ...

1. Outline the categories of violence as described by Jamil Salmi.

According to Salmi, the phenomenon of violence has many characteristics, with particular causes per characteristic and with particular causational agents per cause. Violence also exists in several forms, including direct violence, indirect violence, repressive violence, and alienating violence.

Direct violence is characterized by any physical, in-person act causing intended harm. In this category would be included A) any act resulting in death (homicide, genocide, infanticide); and B) any “coercive or brutal” (Module 6, 44) at threatening or resulting in physical or psychological damage or suffering—including rape, spousal abuse, political imprisonment, for example.

Indirect violence is characterized by ...

There are four main models of employee supervision in criminal justice. One model is called the traditional model of employee supervision while the other one is called human service model of employee supervision. The third model of leadership is called the unit management model while the fourth one is called correctional employee supervision. The difference can be seen in the way the leaders evaluate the employees and how the supervision is carried out. The traditional model consists of rules and regulations that must be followed in a strict manner. Most leaders in criminal justice organization who use the traditional method ...

Drug courts play a vital role in the criminal justice system. The war against drug, which had started some decades back, is one of the causes of the ballooning of prison population in the US. Today, the US has the most populated prison system in the world (Hale et al 2013, p. 517). Drug courts can whittle down prison population and cut down recidivism rates. They add a facet to the criminal justice system – one that does not only judge and incarcerate, but help in restoring a person as a good member of society. The help that drug courts offer, thus, includes ...

Community oriented policing services or COPS developed as a response to public fears in the early 1990s of rampant crime and politicians promises to “put 100,000 officers” on the streets at a minimal cost (Roth & Ryan, 2000). At around the same time new research into policing methods began to question the traditional police approach to fighting crime. According to the research, simply putting out more patrols to respond to crimes after they happen was not enough to substantially decrease crime. Instead, the research argued police needed to attack the underlying issues that facilitate the occurrence of crime (Roth ...

I disagree with the outcome of the Malesko case at the Supreme Court level. Indeed, in 5 against 4 votes the Supreme Court arrived at the decision that private action against Federal Officers violating constitutional rights of individuals could not be extended to include private corporations delivering the same duties under a contract by the government, in that case, the Bureau of Prisons. I personally find the reasoning of the learned judges as escapist and a defeat of the spirit of the laws. Foremost, it has to be appreciated that the holding in Bivens had expressly provided for the defense of ...
