[Crime Readings: Jeffrey Reiman Article]

Detail three practices that support Reiman's position that the criminal justice system is designed to maintain rather than reduce crime.
1. Prisons are not only painful (loss of liberty) but demeaning. Loss of liberty may deter future crime; however, demeaning a prisoner (lack of privacy, no control over time and actions, threat of rape or assualt) undermines the deterrent component and weakens the prisoners capacity for self-control. Humiliating and brutalizing prisoners will increase their potential for violence.

2. Prisoners should not be trained in a marketable skill nor provided with a job after release. Their prison record should stand as a perpetual stigma to discourage employers from hiring them.

3. Ex-Prisoners should be made to feel as though they are incapable of reintegrating into society through laws designed to strip certain rights (right to vote). Consistently harassed by police as "likely suspects". Subject them to the whims of parole officers who can at any time threaten to send them back to prison for innocuous conduct (going out of town, drinking, fraternizing with the "wrong people.")
