    Pentonville Prison can be argued to be significant in changing the health and living conditions within British prisons, the purpose of prisoner punishment and influencing the designs and systems used within the British prison system between the years 1842-1856. It would be described as a model prison that all others took large influence from, in design, prison system, healthcare of prisoners and its purpose of reforming prisoners. However some historians such as Priestly would argue that Pentonville was an ‘expensive waste’ and not significant in changing or improving any aspect of the British prison system. Yet despite this I would argue that the sources 1,5 and 6 demonstrate that the opening of Pentonville Prison in 1842, was to a small extent,…

    Rachel Herzing defines "Prison Industrial Complex" (PIC) as, “a term we use to describe the overlapping interests of government and industry that use surveillance, policing, and imprisonment as solutions to what are, in actuality, economic, social, and political ‘problems’” (Herzing). She means that the prison industrial complex protects the people who gain control through structural privileges. It helps the government, industry, and people who have power in our society. This unequal power creates bad images that portray people of color, underprivileged people, and immigrants as criminals.…

    Richie uses prison nation to “[refer] to those dimensions of civil society that use the power of law, public policy, and institutional practices in strategic ways to advance hegemonic values and to overpower efforts by individuals and groups that challenge the status quo” (Richie 2012:3). Those who would use “the power of law, public policy, and institutional practices” (3) would be police officers and the laws they enforced , city planners, such as the mayor or a board in charge of an aspect of the city, and the remaining notions of racial superiority and inferiority. Those who challenge the “status quo” (3) are the people who did not conform to the prevalent cultural norms, which includes teenage pregnant women and prisoners. According…

    Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Mike Brown, and many more have joined a category of African American people, who have been unjustly slain. Although, their murders have been highly publicized, caused uproars and inspired movements such as #blacklivesmatter, the people in this category have received little to no justice. It appears that we are seeing more and more African American lives taken. The fact that most of these murders are at the hands of white police officers or vigilantes calls to question whether the slave master has earned a badge and if he swapped his whip for a gun. These homicides are a modern-day mechanism for social control of African Americans.…

    With the biotic world still being destroyed and harmed at an alarming rate, entire biomes are endangered and whole ecosystems are threatened by anthropogenic pressures. These changes globally have impelled zoos and aquariums to create and establish conservation benefits. This coupled with the growth in economic rationalism and the rise of corporate management, rationalises the feasibility of projects in terms of economic efficiencies. Which has seen the battle between balancing of public entertainment and money with the welfare of animals. It is argued that zoos need to maintain a more concentrated engagement with a range of ethical and pragmatic consideration in the appraisal of animal welfare under the conditions for research.…

    In “Why Prisons Don’t Work,” Wilbert Rideau claims state prisons will never improve the lives of criminals and lower crime rates in other states. There are four reasons to consider for dramatic shift to make prisons legitimately functional: 1) Resulting with a “silver bullet” instead of turning a criminal’s life around, 2) Keeping a prisoner long enough can make a man embrace inmate life, 3) Not focusing on the main threat of the young potential criminals, 4) Not giving enough opportunity of giving a convict a second chance at rehabilitation. People who come into a prison may never come out of the rest of his unchanged life. Putting a “silver bullet” through criminals does not keep society safe.…

    Zoos protect animals from these dangers and can help reintroduce endangered species back into the wild. “Quite simply without these efforts there would be fewer species alive today and ecosystems and the world as a whole would be poorer for it.” (Source D).
