Western missionaries have maintained a good relationship with the Indian peoples by continuing to respect the principals and practices of…

Prison violence has become seen more often than it was in the past. The inmates have formed gangs and use this as a means to target others without taking all the blame on their own. Each individual shares the blame for being involved in crimes that not only cause harm to others but can sometimes lead to death. When accused of committing a crime based on a gang activity that occurred within the prison, each inmate accused is punished. Not one is allowed to get away from what they’ve done. When in…

obey the law or authorities; they simply do what they please. Gangs are a major issue in the way people live their lives. A large majority of the inmates at Pelican Bay belong to one of these six gangs: Nuestra Familia, the Mexican Mafia, the Aryan Brotherhood, the Black Guerrilla Family, the Northern Structure, or the Nazi Low-rides. Since there are so many different gangs the inmates interact with each other violently. “They’ll walk around,…

In the second example, the same John Gotti, from his federal prison cell, contracted with two members of the white supremacist group the Aryan Brotherhood to kill the former consigliere of the Gambino crime family who had threatened to kill him (Finckenauer, pg 2).” This was something when I read that I learned for the first time because of the methods that were used. Usually from learning…

My philosophy of religion and my philosophy of philosophy are marginally diverse than the way people may evaluate religion, before I share my thoughts, allow me to provide you some background of my life.

According to Pettit and Western (2004) “The U.S. penal population increased six fold between 1972 and 2000, leaving 1.4 million men in state and federal prisons by the end of the century”(p. 151). This enormous prison population makes the U.S prison population the largest in the world as of today. The prison population explosion that happened during the time period of 1972-2000 was caused by many factors, however this population was disproportionately that of minorities. During the 1980’s…

Hate crimes are something that are carried out on a daily basis, and have been all throughout our history, even though the term “hate crime” was not established until the 1980s (The Federal Bureau of Investigation). Historically this has included bias crimes against Blacks, Jews, Native Americans and essentially every new immigrant group that has entered the United States in mass numbers.
