According to Mackenzie (2002) about five million or more individuals are under criminal justice system supervision and authority in the United States of America. Close to 1.6 million are housed in local, state or federal correctional facilities. An estimated 70% of these individuals are supervised in either probation or parole, which are forms of community corrections. The suggestion here is that a large part of the correctional population at any one point is under the supervision of corrections in the United States (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 1997).

Incidentally, America was not prepared to send a child to jail for murderous crimes and it can hardly be argued that it was thought inhumane. However, with more juvenile murderers on the rise, more and more people such as families of those murdered have begun to agree that juvenile murderers should be locked up. Cruel and unusual punishment has been mentioned in cases such as these ...

The president of America signed the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act on September 25, 2008, but the act was in effect only from January 2009 as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA), overturns a series of Supreme Court decisions that inferred the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 in a way that made it difficult to prove that a deficiency is a “disability”, and the ADAAA made significant changes to the ADA’s definition of ‘disability” under both the ADA and Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act .
