Department Of Corrections Case Study

Decent Essays
I believe it is in the best interest for the department of corrections to seek a new oversight committee that will be dedicated in improving the following issues the department so desperately needs: group of supervisory board with real oversight powers, one that can inspect, unannounced, every corner and closet of the state’s prison system.

One of the cons for improving the conditions for the Florida’s Department of Corrections will be finding the financial means in making a corrective effect in what has been an issue for many years. Also, if a new group is called, reforming the hiring process, training of current officers and evaluation of guards to be taken into consideration.

Plata). This case appropriately demonstrates that mass incarceration is unsustainable with the current prison facilities. Furthermore, there are inadequate resources available in most states to increase facilities for incarceration.…
