is always a great decrease. An advantage that comes along with release is reduced cost. When an inmate is released the cost needed for all the inmates drops a small bit because there are less inmates. According to Schmalleger and Smykia (2015), typically it cost double to house an elderly inmate, so if they are released then the cost that it took to house them can be used to house two other normal inmates (p. 402). A disadvantage to the justice system is that the offender may not serve their…

Release from Incarceration Inmates being released from incarceration and put back into the community can be a challenging stage for the inmate.

One of the biggest issues in local jails, state prisons, and federal prisons are the suicide rates and the treatment of inmates with mental illness. Preventative measures have been implemented such as suicide screenings when inmates are first entered into prisons and jails. These preventative measures and assessments need to be improved because even now, the leading cause of death in jails since 2000 has been suicide (Noonan, Rohloff, & Ginder, 2015) and it has become worse rather than better.…
