Early Release Program

Improved Essays
In the Sacramento Bee I read an article, Federal judge says California early release program can't exclude male inmates written by Danny Walsh; this early release program could not be settled for just females inmates alone because it was seen unconstitutional and must include both genders into the inmate program to lessen sentence to uniting families. The case asserted that California illegally separates on the basis of gender by permitting female inmates, but not male inmates, allowing male inmates to join in the Alternative Custody Program is what the the article argued to allowing qualified male inmates to participate in the Alternative Custody Program. The judge required by the Fourteenth Amendment, will benefit children and families from single female and male families. The justification for the program seems to have a lot to do with the overcrowding of prisons along with the cost of nonviolent crimes. The female inmates being a smaller population, compared to male inmates, yet it seem by the judges that they're ignoring are male inmates for this early release Alternative Custody Program based off of a gender sentences for the same crime.
For example, Judge Morris England of the Eastern District of California agreed

A Alternative Custody Program that’s fair to both genders will surely benefit from a non-violent offenses help strengthen its family’s core and there childs need for parents. The program for inmates would force people to think about when the law should apply and how a ruling can affect families. however only applying to female inmate people would probably be willing to classify gender difference in prison time being handed out the same for both genders for example when a female rapes someone imprisonment should be just as long as a male

    From watching the film, I understand that women who are incarcerated do not receive the proper prenatal care in order to give birth to children. I feel that shackling an incarcerated mother to a hospital bed, when in labor, is cruel and unnecessary. Doing so has the potential to increase the risk of a child and/or mother to experience problems during birth. After hearing Tina Torrez’s experience when giving birth to her daughter as an inmate, it was clear the care inmate mothers receive is unacceptable when compared to the care mothers who are not labeled as inmates receive. Hearing her experience bothered me because of the fact that even though she was pregnant and giving birth, she was still treated as if she were not a human with physical and emotional feelings.…

    Families and children are negatively impacted by the increased incarceration of women in America. “In the United States, there are more children with incarcerated parents than there are people in prison.” (Boudin, 2011) Women before incarceration, are frequently the heads of their households and have children that depend on them for financial stability and care. Studies show that the extended absence of incarcerated mothers from homes results in less stable environments for children when breadwinners are and children are left without support and guidance.…

    Unless the conversation is about sexual assault: how women become enmeshed in the justice isn’t discussed. Given how that juvenile court began pioneering the legal recognition of adolescence: it’s ironic the number of teenagers who tried as adults in criminal courts.

    It can be argued that women are seen as being amongst a minority and are seen as inferior and members of the low social economic class and are subsequently disadvantaged. The notion of disparity within the criminal justice system has posed threats for ongoing conflicts and inequality within the criminal justice system and also within correctional institutions. Disparity and inequality within these components can potentially serve as problematic. One significant aspect is…

    I think that this program provide women with help and a chance to receive a fresh start, because their records are cleared. By allowing the offender records to be cleared is very beneficial because it can help them find jobs. The goal of the Fresh Start program for the female offenders to acquire housing, find a job, and remain drug free ( Audi, 2016). In addition, there are some offenders such as Michelle that enters the program and recidivate. In my opinion, I think that after a certain amount of attempts in the program and failing that the inmates should not have be given any more chances.…

    In the present day world there is a major incarceration problem. Many people might think that mass incarceration does not apply to them or really is not a big issue, however, those individuals would be wrong. Even though most people are not going to be locked up in this mass incarceration era it still has a negative effect on the public. Taxpayers are the people who pay for all the people incarcerated and contrary to popular belief this can be a costly bill to cover.

    Several longitudinal studies have demonstrated significant relationships between family socioeconomic disadvantage, parenting behavior, parental criminality, children’s delinquency and eventual offending as adults (Thornberry and Khrohn 2002). Majority of youth who have incarcerated parents are incapacitated by poverty. Most parent offenders do not exceed an elementary education, which results in a lack of knowledge and employment. They are bound in repeating cycles of becoming a product of their environment. An environment with predominantly low-income families typically includes gang violence and drugs.…

Saul taught her about the issues that mass incarceration creates for the children of ex-offenders, and worked to fix that, too. She learned that the system aims to prevent children from living with and being raised by relatives; it wants to keep them in group homes and private foster agencies, which receive a mass amount of money from the government (166). She worked with “All of Us or None,” an organization that fights for the rights of formerly and currently incarcerated people.
