Research Paper On Samuel Seabrook

Decent Essays
In, 1976 Samuel Seabrook was sentenced to Trenton State Prison for robbery and murder. He served over 20 years in different hard core prisons. Seabrook was sent to the halfway house and was denied five times before entering the Garret House. Samuel Seabrook does 10 hours of community service every month. He speaks to juvenile delinquents about his crimes, and how he hurt others by his wrong doing. Mrs. McCrae had informed Seabrook that he finally has another upcoming parole hearing. I think the Parole Board made the right decision for Seabrook, because he has shown improvement with his behavior, and kept an outstanding record with his employer, community service, and staying out of trouble. I do believe Seabrook deserves a second chance, but

    Pruckmayr Assignment The case of Leo Wright and the murder of Bettina Pruckmayr was extremely tragic. There were so many mistakes made, from his time in the Lorton facility, to the lack of communication and time spent on his case, his arrests and his time on parole. The first red flag that I saw and felt the most frustrated about, was not only Wright’s lack of ability to show up for his monthly meetings, but the fact that his own parole officer seemed unable to attend many of these meetings as well. The lack of communication and time spent with Wright clearly kept Wright from seeing his drug addiction was back in full swing.…

    The Study of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: His Life and Writings Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was a preeminent poet in his day and even if time has contrived to show that he is something less than the remarkable artist, he never claimed to be, we can still fondly read his work, which epitomizes 19th century. Born on February 27, 1807 in Portland, Maine to parents, Stephen and Zilpah Longfellow, Henry, from the start, had a reputation for being studious. Furthermore, among other accomplishments, including being fluent in Latin at age 6, he published his first poem at age thirteen. In 1822, he enrolled in Bowdoin College.…

    This article is about whether or not a repeat juvenile offender’s history should be considered in a case now that he is an adult. Smith was sentenced as a four time offender in a breaking and entering due to the history he already had with the court system from his juvenile years; he did not think that this was fair due to the fact it was done before becoming an adult. I do agree with the court’s decision that Smith should serve current time plus what he is already been charged for previously while being an adult; the time should not be split, both sentences should be completed together. In my opinion, the major facts that lead to the judge’s sentencing decision were that Smith had twelve previous charges against him as a juvenile including seven felonies and three misdemeanors. This did not help him at all; all the judge could see was that he could not stay out of trouble and it seemed as though he did not learn from previous charges.…

    Recently, I was a page for the Oklahoma State Senate and was able to sit in on many committee meetings, floor sessions, and read over the new bills. One of the bills that caught my eye was the Parole of Aging Prisoners Act. This new act would allow prisoners over the age of 70 to be released from jail on parole. Now, of course there would be limits on who would be able to be let out. Serious crime convicts like murder and sexual assault charges would not be released.…

    Juvenile’s brains are also not fully developed. This made it unconstitutional to sentence juveniles to life without the possibility of parole. I think this is a fair law because juveniles may be completely different once they hit adult hood, but the case of Miller V. Alabama made me feel differently. I still believe that he should be sentenced heavily. At the time of his crime he was fourteen, and fourteen year olds know that it is not right to murder someone.…
