Social class and money do not equate to parental involvement. There are as many instances of uninvolved upper class parents as there are lower class parents. Upper class children use drugs too. Author Wes’s mom and grandparents were much more involved and more supportive in his life than Prisoner Wes’s. With his…

Informed Consent Form for Prisoners Prisoners are referred to as vulnerable populations because it is tricky to determine whether their acceptance to a clinical study is voluntary. This is because prisoners are held in police custody for their crimes and thus the research organization must make sure the prisoners are not being coerced. Prisoners are easy targets and heave been exploited in the past by research institutes (Hornblum, 1997, 1998; Mitford, 1974). The IRB-HSR decide if prospective…
