    Topic: Release and Reintegration Summary: Release and reintegration was the last step in learning about how the criminal justice system functions. To me, this was one of the most important topics as it deals with offenders being released from the system and reintegrating into the broader community. The lecture and required readings informed us on the ways that convicted offenders can be released from prison and placed on parole. Parole allows the prisoners to be reintegrated into the community so they can reconnect with family and friends. Reintegration as described by Maruna, Immarigeon, and LeBel (2004), is both a process and an event.…

    Fifteen years ago the U.S. Department of Justice developed a national reentry court program, designed after drug court programs, to specifically deal with substance abuse. Since then reentry programs have been even more developed and spread throughout the U.S. to encompass educational, job and social programs in addition to substance abuse programs (Duwe, 2012). The goal of the reentry court was to provide offenders with programs that provide guidance and support to offenders before and after they are released, in hopes of reducing the chances of rearrest, reconviction, incarceration, revocation and recidivism. (Hamilton, 2011). Since 1999, many scholars have set out to examine and understand the effects that prison reentry programs have on…

    Nonetheless, in many countries, and more specifically, in the United States, substance addiction and abuse is seen as a public health problem and legal issue, and not as a disease. There is a great necessity for the government to have a better, more balanced approach toward this social problem. A change in the current policies and attitudes will help in the prevention and treatment of these types of mental disorders. Furthermore, by exploring alternative avenues toward the issue of substance abuse and addiction, the government will also assist addicts in their recovery process, and will search for reforms to the criminal justice system. By doing so, the vicious circle created by mental health, substance abuse, criminal behavior, jail, release, and recidivism, may be broken for once and for all.…

    Scholarly research has demonstrated the many correctional treatment programs have effectively reduced recidivism rates (Cullen & Gendreau, 2000). Although the concepts of rehabilitation and correctional treatment were dominant throughout the majority of the twentieth century, they have been subject to much debate and criticism. Such controversy can be seen when examining the three different shifts in thinking about offenders and how such views have influenced correctional treatment models. In the early 1800s, “penitentiaries” were established as offenders were removed from society in order to transform their behaviors by placing them in a more structured environment (Cullen & Gendreau, 2000).…

    When most of the prisoners behind bars are struggling with drug abuse, a priority should be getting them the help they need; without help the perpetual cycle of reoffending will continue. Over 65% of inmates are struggling with a substance abuse addiction. The most disturbing part of this statistic is that only 11% of those get the help that they need to recover (Sack, D 2014). This leaves the rest of the inmates still struggling when they are released back into society. In fact, new guidelines have begun retroactive releases of nonviolent criminals such as drug addicts.…
