Prison cell

Operating from 1934-1963, Alcatraz was once considered the most highly secured prison. Housing criminals such as Al Capone and famous murderer Robert Stroud, the prison held some of the country’s worst criminals. While claiming to never have an inmate escape, numerous attempts were made by John Paul Scott, Darl Lee Parker, and Joseph Bowers but failed. Theodore Cole and Ralph Roe also fled, but after jumping in the San Francisco Bay they were never seen again. It was assumed that the two men…

is highly ranked when it comes to executing prisoners. It is a highly debated issue in America for various reasons, but capital punishment is unnecessary, unproductive and should be terminated. It is more beneficial to keep death row prisoners in prison for life instead of executing them. Studying death row prisoners can help solve problems. Studying why the death row prisoner did the crime in the first place could help reduce the crime from occurring again in the future. Studying the…

counterpart getting on average a 16 months sentence for the same crime . This could contribute to less instances of sexual violence but somethning that was cited again in Ellenbogen, (2009) was that Amerian prisons still had what seemed like just as big of a problem with instances of sexual violence in prisons when they had a smaller incarseration rate than they do now…

rehabilitation of offenders. Prisons are designed to remove the offender from society, restricting civil freedoms, and limiting the individual’s capability to make liberated decisions (Schmalleger, 2014). Although incarceration is one of the most severe punishments, the other methods also implement similar traits to incarceration. Sanctions and community programs offer limitations to the offender creating a prison without incarceration. The offender may not be locked in a cell but they are…

Justice is the word that keeps death penalty at its cue, wandering for a truth and what true justice can bring; right for the wrong and right for the right. Are the government officials the ones with the right solutions? Are we the one’s to validate true justice? I think not and I believe you know this already.

When it comes to the death penalty, yes taxpayers pay for it but only one time, not consecutively for the same person every year. If all states would embrace the death penalty we would be able to see prison populations drop. I think justice is served when an inmate is put to death…

should spent their childhood and adulthood in prison for life?The Supreme court ruled that juveniles who commit crimes should not be sentenced to life in prison because it violates the 8th amendment. However some judges strongly disagree that juveniles who commit heinous crimes should always be punished with a sentence of life in prison. From my point of view juveniles who commit crimes should be accountable for their crimes but they shouldn’t get life in prison. Firstly, I disagree because most…
