The massive prison numbers pose one of the state of Texas biggest problems. I see this problem as one that is not being addressed which causes my question to arise; “With a problem so massive, what is being done to help the ones affected? Where along the line of correction can Texas make a change in favor to reform prisons or the policies that so many citizens are subject to? Is the issue of the Texas department of corrections one that is purposely being left unanswered?” On one end of the scale that is Texas criminal justice; those whom commit acts with criminal intent need to be punished.…

This corrupt and inhumane prison system is perpetuated by the labor system, its profits garnering support from various corporations and organizations. The labor system was built not to rehabilitate, but to exploit prisoners in the interest of business whilst preying on marginalized communities.…
educational programs on defining sexual violence, prevention, victim rights, services available to victims, and encouraging inmates to report victimizations (Fowler et al., 2010). It is easier said than done for victimized inmates to report sexual assaults incidents to prison officials. That being said, prison officials must be vigilant and set the tone; exemplify good leadership and management skills that can instill good working ethics in the minds of correction officers. Rehabilitation programs are offered in certain states for incarcerated mothers; however, certain aspects of the overall prison regime are incompatible with some of the issues which women face while in custody (Hanser & Gomila, 2015). Pregnant inmates require particular resources and attention such as dieting programs; physical fitness, clothing and medical care (Clarke & Simon, 2013).…
