First, I apologize for not responding more expeditiously regarding your letter asking for support at Springwood. You’re one of the few who are at the center of my character and Christian based education and I owe you and the school more than I could ever give monetarily. I thank you for pouring your life into me when I was much younger and then as an adult when you sent a “rock” with me into combat. You planted many seeds of which some are still sprouting as validated by this letter.…

$48,000 Mercedes roadster...in the middle of the South Bronx...Miraculous! Nobody pays attention to them” (Wolfe, 81). Sherman further expresses his disgust for the Bronx residents when he describes the Latinos as “sumo wrestlers” (81) and Roland Auburn, the black friend of Henry Lamb, as a “hunter”, “predator” and “brute” (87).…

then, and their medication wasn’t as great as it is now. And it’s still a thing to die from pneumonia still today. Her people in Auburn, New York which was her home place, erected a plaque in her honor for her death. And the United States Postal Service issued a postage stamp bearing her portrait in 1978. She was then buried with the military rites in Fort Hill Cemetery Auburn, New York. Harriet Tubman’s home was abandoned in 1920, but is now a church today. And people can visit and it’s a…

When discussing who the greatest athlete of all-time, two names come to mind: Bo Jackson and Michael Jordan. Although they grew up in different time periods and played different sports, they both dominated in their respected professions, in which they performed at levels that no one has ever seen before. Jackson and Jordan both displayed crazy statistics over and over again throughout their career but physically watching them helps to truly understand their greatness. Besides being great…

When people hear the word penitentiary they automatically think prison, but there is a difference in the two institutions.

It was a place of human punishment instead of physical punishments that was used in other societies. A penitentiary was an idea, or set of principles, opposed to an actual physical institution with shape and form. The…

it was overgrown and untamed. There wasn’t a soul in sight. It wasn’t a welcoming house to visit. The grass was as brown as auburn; it was parched and dehydrated. The air was unclean; it chocked you when you breathed it in. Your eyes had to adjust to such lifeless dull colours. You couldn’t get a glimpse of colour other than black or grey or any other dull shades. The auburn musky grass was long and wild. It would cover up to someone’s hip. The dust trapped in my nose gave me the sensation of…

The Pennsylvania System of corrections had many flaws, but it also had a few positive aspects. One for example, was the idea of keeping inmates separate for the most part, not the extreme 23 hour isolation that occurred, but the overall idea that inmates should be kept away from one another at times as a form of punishment. It was seen as a way to repent and reflect on their wrongdoings. The ideas of separating every offender by offense and punishing them accordingly was a positive aspect as…

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.

For the inmates, classes are a way to stay busy by furthering their education. It also gives them substance to their resume, showing they accomplished something while spending time for…

institutions of the United States of America. During this time period, two separate major prison systems began development. The two prison system plans, named after the cities where they were located— the "Philadelphia" plan in Pennsylvania and the "Auburn" plan in New York, both share a common thread, solitary confinement. Solitary confinement— the isolation of a prisoner in a separate cell as a punishment— is a uniquely American invention based on the Quaker theology. Often considered an…
