I am writing to you today as a current student of Montgomery College at the Rockville campus. I have been presented with an assignment to carefully choose five major issues that I find important and believe deserve your attention and that of your management team and Department. Below are a list of topics I have included in no specific order, but I will indicate the ones of most importance to me. Please read through this letter and consider my arguments and point of view, as you will find them intriguing and valid.
1. Reentry and return to the community. 201
2. Inmates with Mental Illness’. Pg 411
3. Capital Punishment pgs 505-519
4. Women in Prison pgs 351-362
5. Prison security 435-440

Capital punishment. The majority of the public has continued to support capital punishment for murder. In my eyes the most important debate surrounding the death penalty would be cost. The longer an inmate is on death row the longer they will continue go through the appeal process and consume time in court costing the state money. I believe the inmates that are 100% guilty, have been caught in the act and are without a doubt guilty should have some sort of express death row. It sounds harsh but we would take into consideration the possibility of wrongful conviction and the possibility that the inmate maybe innocent. There is no need in keeping inmates in prison for “life without parole” causing added expenses as an alternative to the death penalty. If the conviction is guilty and death penalty is the sentence then we can help with many expenses, overcrowding and time, resulting in opening up the budget to be used in other areas in need of attention. My express death row idea may be controversial but I believe it’s a plan that will ease many burdens in prisons …show more content…
This topic can bring a lot of concerns because it has the potential of being a very costly process in the correction path. For the inmates who have successfully been rehabilitated, we need to create a system inmates transitioning back to a useful member of society. Without assisting with the transition inmates are more likely to return to jail. One of the biggest issues is finding work for a newly release inmate and without work leaves plenty of down time without any income to survive. In order to survive an ex-inmate can resort to anything to make ends meet and survive. Supporting training and preparation programs to help inmates into jobs will assist in leaving a life of crime
