Indianapolis, Indiana, Is a beautiful city. It is home to numerous war memorials, second only to Washington, DC. However, it is a long way from my home town in Louisiana and not only in distance. I relocated to Indiana temporarily for a job almost a year ago, before the job was completed I was asked to take a permanent position. So my new ‘home’ town is now Indianapolis. I decided to embrace this with this essay, so I began to look for a site-specific public sculptor that has meaning to…

In Alvin Mitchel’s research “Determinants of Safety in Urban and Suburban Areas”, it was found that one’s perception of safety outweighs the reality. This is because crime is emotional and often time’s emotion outweighs other aspects (Mitchel 2004, pg 98-111). Because of this perception of crime, one does not often put his or herself in a position where he or she would be affected by crime. Hamilton County, Indiana in 2010 has a crime rate of 48.15 while Marion County in 2010 has a crime rate…

Our criminal justice class took a trip to the Huntington and Wabash county jail this week. I was very excited to go on these trips since I had never actually got the opportunity to go into the main parts of the jail before. I was intrigued to learn more information about the jails and how they operate. To my surprise, there were many differences and similarities between the two jails. The Huntington County jail (HCJ) is located in downtown Huntington, catty corner from the court house. Having…

“You’d make a great RA one-day Grant.” Stated my favorite teacher in high school. Because I really did not know the requirements and duties of a resident assistant, I started to look into it and realized that my personality really did fit with this job. In my opinion though, being a resident assistant would not even be seen as a job because I would enjoy it very much. During the end of September, I approached my resident assistant with all of my questions about trying to get this position. She…
