Abstract

The Hurricane Katrina is considered the most devastating storm in the United States due to its magnitude of destruction and the casualties involved.

There is a lot of debate in the government and scholarly sphere when it comes to when to and how to incarcerate people. A subdivision of that argument comes down to the actual housing that a prisoner is kept in while they are in prison. One method that is used for inmates who commit certain acts, either inside of or outside of prison, is solitary confinement. While this is deemed to be a way to prevent a prisoner from being a danger to others or even himself/herself while in prison, there are many that say that solitary confinement for ...

In his book, “Give Me Liberty!” Eric Foner explains that the mentioned Pinkertons were “300 private policemen” that the Homestead Steel Mill officials hired from the “Pinkerton Detective ...

Survival, Resilience, and Redemption” by Laura Hillenbrand

During the US Civil War, the Union’s famous Gen. Sherman once said that war is “all hell.” Many military commanders, as well as the countless victims of warfare, have echoed this sentiment down through the ages. Certainly, warfare reveals humanity to sometimes be far less than humane. The worst characteristics of human kind are often brought to the forefront by the nature of war and its relentless objectives. But as horrible as warfare can be for the average soldier in the trenches fighting next to his comrades, it can be (and often is) even more nightmarish and unimaginably ...

Ideally, forensic health nursing entails the practice of nursing regardless of the region on the global map especially when legal system and health intersect. As such, forensic nurses make a tremendous contribution to the integration of law and medicine. In fact, they are tasked with the provision of specialized care to patients who in most instances are perpetrators or victims of trauma. I agree with the post that the fact that hundreds of employees are always in and around the building reduces the risk of occurrence of crime (Simmons, 2014). However, the presence of the many corners of the ...

Coal Creek war was the war that took place in Coal Creek, a mining town in Tennessee. The town was found in the second half of the 19th century especially for people employed at the local coal mines. The war took place in 1891-1892 and was actually an opposition of free miners to the convict lease system implemented by the state. These people considered themselves law-abiding citizens possessing the right to work and honestly earn their living, while convicts brought to the mines were seen as those stealing bread from free miners (“The Coal Creek War” 1). The miners ...

That being said many different approaches to addressing offenders who commit crimes have existed throughout the ancient world to present day. One ...

Final Essay: Robert Bresson’s Dictum & Film Analysis of “A Man Escaped”

Introduction The modern film-viewer may anticipate feeling abashed, or risk feeling bored when scrutinizing an old, black-and-white movie that lacks an action package. However, Robert Bresson’s film made in 1956, A Man Escaped, offers a compelling example of filmmaking skills which captivate the attention of its audience. One of Director Robert Bresson’s favorite dictums asserts that “What is for the eye must not duplicate what is for the ear” (“Notes on Sound”). Control of narrative space, and command of sound perspective strategies in the film demonstrate an exercise of the filmmaker’s philosophy. The film analysis herein, ...

When power is granted to an individual to exert over another, interesting things can happen. The balance of authority is often tenuous and can be navigated if the semblance of order is respected and followed. When that order is ignored and the authority is placed in the hands of those who seek to use it for personal gain however, the balance is quickly lost. The Stanford Prison Experiment shows how absolute power corrupts absolutely. Seeking to display the very real situations that occur between prison guards and convicts, a study was conducted at Stanford University in 1971 to test ...

Dehumanization in the America’s prisons hinders some of the offenders from getting justice. Importantly, some inmates serve long sentences for nonviolent crimes such as minor drug offenses (Bibas, 2015). This aspect leads to overcrowding in the America’s prisons, which may affect the health of the prisoners negatively. Ideally, some inmates suffer from disease and disorders that arise due to overcrowding. Dehumanization leads to an increase in violence, which violates their legal and justice rights (Slambrouck, 1998). Intimates who face mistreatments such as brutal beating, assaults from federal officers and fellow intimates do not get justice. Such injustice ...

Antigone is a dreadful tragedy written around 441 BC by the Sophocles. It was the last of the Theban plays but chronologically written first. The other pieces of Sophocles have attracted more controversy and nothing has inspired people more than Antigone (Lewis, p. 35). It is an outline of achievements of man, modern in its tone deceptively, has impressed many, and most probably, it is said if it is attached with, choral odes would turn to this poem.

The level of accountability towards prisoners and their safety diminishes in regions such as Asia, Middle East, and South America. The United Nations established a set of international ...

Their general orders were to keep order but they were not supposed to physically assault the prisoners in any way. The experiment went south in a hurry as ...
