How To Be Plead Guilty For Drug-Related Crime

Decent Essays
Of course, I understand the federal costs problem but is it only because of that? Why then don’t we liberate all thieves from prisons? If they didn’t hurt or killed somebody, then they’re simply not dangerous and, of course, they don’t belong in the category of violent crimes.

If I compare to France, to be plead guilty for drug related crimes, is likely to be a heavy crime, and the consequences are equal.

One thing I do not understand , in France, it’s while you are in prison, being convicted, you should know that you need to have an excellent behavior to have en - response your detention therm decided by 2. And mostly that you will be liberated from prison.

    Ethical Issues that Surround Plea Bargains Introduction When our founding fathers included the sixth amendment into the Bill of Rights, never had they imagined a large number of defendants surrendering those rights of a fair trial for a non-trial procedure on the basis of minimizing punishment. Today, plea bringing has become the essence of the criminal justice system. As a result, it has transformed the judicial structure into a system of pleas rather than a system of trials. While many will argue that plea bargain are necessary, it cannot be disregarded that they stand on unethical grounds.…

    Something needs to happen in our prison system because it is terribly wrong. We are digging a hole for our ourselves and letting our neighbors and country men rot away until the are unleashed back into the community.

    Crime Control As Industry: Towards Gulags, Western Style by Nils Christie, a professor of Criminology at the University of Oslo, is somehow a ground-breaking book to the extent that it argues that ‘’crime control, rather than crime itself is the existent danger for our future’’ and that systems of crime control have the potential for developing western style Gulags, or concentration camps (p.15) Crime Control as Industry is divided into 13 chapters each of those filled with very concrete and heavily revised amounts of data which try to explains us the readers how managing crime has turned into a reasonably big industry; “the crime control industry” and how it will continue to grow because unlike most industries there is “no lack of raw-material” as crime is in endless supply. But it goes further into my interpretation as Nils Christie also suggests that the increased prison populations, especially in the United States characterise a move ‘’towards Gulag’s western style’’. Christie argues that the fundamental problems of this threat are the unequal distribution of wealth and the lack of access to paid work. In this third edition the author does a quite memorable job as he documents the enormous growth in the number of prisoners in recent years by giving us a global perspective to incarceration and by comparing how unequal imprisonment rates between likely European countries are.…

    Many people in the US are fearful of local crime around them, so politicians address this fear by promising to be tough on crime, and to lower the crime rates. The issue with this though, is that politicians are then pressured to lower the crime rates significantly, or face being voted out of office, to someone who promises the same thing. This in turn creates a perpetual rise in the prison population, as the politicians are fighting for more votes. (More in depth/examples) There are many solutions to the problem of mass incarceration within the United States. The nations of Norway, Finland, and Sweden all of respectable prison population rates of around 70 per 100,000 ("World Prison Population Rates per 100,000 of the National Population."…

    In 1995 the stock of Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) went up 400%, the reason for the rise in stock was a direct correlation with the rise of crime and incarceration. People were buying stocks in crime and incarceration and the CCA and other private prison 's profits were skyrocketing. Private prisons have no incentive to decrease crime because it would decrease their profits. They would even compromise the safety of inmates, staff and the community by minimizing cost of staff, security and services if it meant they would profit from it. The most important thing for private prison corporations is money, they see prisoners as an opportunity to make money and not a human being.…
