Introduction: As I started to interview a former inmate from the Florida Department of Corrections about why he had to go prison, and how was his experience of the four in a half years that he was locked up. He said that he will be willing to discuss the living arrangements, the food, other inmates, correctional officers and the bathing experience, just his overall experience of the justice system. In this interview, I learned a lot about how prisoners feel in the justice system. I’ve learned…

are worse off because that person now unable to work. But, if you instead put them in a correction facility and transform them to match society then it is more likely they will join the newly industrialized workforce and contribute to society. As such, I believe if you examine the current events surrounding gun violence with the same epistemologico-juridical then there is a change in punishment and correction that is…

The abuse on Rikers Island is something that is unfathomable. Inmates are abused and tortured until they least guilty to a crime; even if they never committed said crime. Men are beaten to a bloody pulp, they fight, and possibly die. Former corrections officer Darryl Bryant says he feels bad for any adolescent who ends up there. They will be violated, and that sounds like something totally normal. What is happening alone should lead to a breakdown and reconstruction of the prison system.…

Fixing the System Correctional institutions in the United States often leave inmates and correction officers worse off than they were before they resided within its walls. Though many agree upon this point, not many offer solutions as to what can be done to improve the correctional system and the institutions that it includes. Ted Conover’s novel, Newjack: Guarding Sing Sing, portrays the many trials and tribulations of the correctional system along with shedding light on possible fixes. The…

Essay 2 (1,000 words) 'Is building more and more prisons the best solution? ' The primary purpose of prison is to protect the community and rehabilitate the offender (Smart Justice, 2015). Research has indicated that prison fails to do this and instead can increase rate of reoffending (Smart Justice, 2015). Prison does not address the causes of the person’s criminal offending. Imprisonment is designed to be a sentence of last resort, yet we are building more prisons at an ever increasing…

Overcrowded prisons and improper punishment systems are huge societal issues for our government. Since the late 1970’s, the United States has seen a steady growth of prisoners in prisons. In just Illinois alone, we now have approximately 44,000 people in prison, which is increased by 30,000 people since 1983. As well as an increase of 30,000 people, 30,000 people leave prison each year and are let back into society. But remember, this is just in Illinois; this does not include the other 49…

The relationship between race and crime and its impact on decisions in the criminal justice system is a topic of controversy in both public and academic spheres. The imprisonment of ethnic minorities at a higher rate than their White counterpart occurs in most western nation (La Prairie, 1999; Tonry, 1995, 1997). In Canada, the overly represented groups are Aboriginals (First Nations, Inuit, and Metis) and Black Canadians relative to their incidence in the general population (Roberts & Stenning,…

agency may make many arrests for Part II offenses, like drug abuse violations, which demonstrate police activity but are not considered in the clearance rate. The agency’s available resources are also critical to successful operation, so its rate of officers to population and budget should be considered. The UCR clearance rate was simply not designed to provide a complete assessment of law enforcement effectiveness. In order to obtain a valid picture of an agency’s effectiveness, data users must…

Looking back at the memories with my grandparents now, the words that come to mind are “home cooking and warm embrace”. Can’t picture grandma and grandpa doing hard time for murder. Just can’t seem to process people in their 60’s and 70’s as being hard cold criminals. They should be on some porch somewhere enjoying the sunrise with a cup of hot coffee. How we easily forget that before we become old and wise we must first be young and stupid. However, for the men and women who are currently…
