overcrowding of prisons across the United States. Prison overcrowding is a very tough situation and is a huge concern throughout the United States. Stemming from the governments “war on drugs”, prisoners keep pilling up in prisons with no where to put them, thus creating a problem for the criminal justice system. More prisoners in a prison causes more problems for that facility. As well as increasing the needed cost to maintain and care for those prisoners. The overcrowding of prisons not only…

that should be taken into consideration by the criminal justice system, because if the person ends up being innocent, he/she could basically waste years of their lives for no valuable reason.

Many say that the current justice system has no effect to criminals whether they are sent to jail or not. The people who agree with this side of the conflict believe that the alternatives are needed when felons can be sentenced life in prison for…

Entering into Lebanon Correctional last Wednesday, I had expectations and prejudgments of the inmates that I prepared for myself mentally. With Lebanon Correctional being a third level prison, the exterior of the facility has barbed fencing and security, housing various criminals who have committed felonies. Before meeting the inmates, I expected them to be of the stereotypical dramatization that is portrayed in the media: intimidating, cold, threatening, possibly even sociopathic. With the list…

conditions. To find examples of prisons that could be replicated in England, John Howard visited other European countries. John Howard along with members of the English House of Commons drafted the Penitentiary Act of 1779.
