    Going to school is the same as going to prison. On the first day of being in prison, we all meet up in the main hall and the warden gives us instructions. All of the prisoners are divided up into different halls, and we have a designated prison guard. Some prison guards are nice, but usually they are mean. The prisoners that have been here for a long time can get away with more because they suck-up to the warden and the guards. If we do something bad, we go into the isolation room, where we are…

A sufficient number of literary works on cannibalism, ranging from fictional novels and explorers’ documents to scholarly research, reflect the fear and boycott of this barbarous and brutal crime from so-called civilized society. Anthropologist Rupert Stasch, however, indicated that Korowai witch execution, in a form of a bloody ritual…

The major trends will be changes in how inmates are sentenced, imprisoned, and released, and care after release.

    Capital punishment, death penalty or execution is punishment by death. The sentence is referred to as a death sentence. If elected into the presidential position this year I vow to have capital punishment allowed in all fifty states. The theory of “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth” is the strongest argument of capital punishment. When a criminal does an act to fulfill his selfish motives resulting into personal gains then the equilibrium of justice in society is disturbed. To maintain…

    Crime is universally regularly compensated with punishment but often, not fulfilled with justice. In Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment, Raskolnikov is a primary example of one who receives a light punishment as a surprise to our own expectations, for the act of two brutal murders. However, Dostoevsky might have intended to explain his reasoning of moral penance with the idea that every sin is ultimately faced with punishment, whether physical or psychological. Raskolnikov’s mere…
