Canker Incarcers

Mass Incarceration of African American men has become a social injustice of our time. It can also be proclaimed to be known as a civil rights issue of our time. From the first time Africans were taken from their homeland and stripped of all human rights to become slaves, they- or we perhaps- have never truly possessed any real social justice. What does mass incarceration really mean to our black America? How does it affect our communities? When we really look at it, mass incarceration means a lot more than being placed in the back of a police car with handcuffs clinching your bones. It means a lot more than sitting in a jail or prison cell waiting for your time to be served.

You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney, and to have an attorney present during police questioning, if you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you by the state. These words have preceded every arrest since Miranda v. Arizona 1966, informing every detained person of his rights before any type of formal police questioning begins. This issue has been a hot topic for decades causing arguments over whether or not the Miranda Warnings should or should not continue to be part of police practices, and judicial procedures. In this paper, the author intends to explore many aspects of the Miranda

The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness written by Michelle Alexander, presents the evidence of mass incarceration as a racial caste system. Alexander indicated that in the prison system, it is legal to discriminate against criminals practically in similar ways it was legal to discriminate against African Americans in the past. After being characterized as a felon, the previous ways of discrimination become legal, such as being denied numerous rights and are relegated to second-class status for the rest of their lives, permanently losing their right to vote, all the while, legally being denied work and not being able to engage in social programs in order to recover and restore what they have lost while in prison.

The United States has the largest prison population in the world. The U.S.’s path to our over population has been decades in the making. “The United States makes up about 4 percent of the world’s population, and it accounts for 22 percent of the world’s prison population.” (Lopez). Prison over population is a growing concern within our society creating and contributing factors include longer sentences, rising costs, prison gangs, rapes, racism and mental health issues.

In Michelle Alexander’s The New Jim Crow, Alexander identifies the racialized mass incarceration problem that we have in our criminal justice system. Reading the book, you can see that mass incarceration is a social problem. This means that the problem can follow the six stages of the policy process. If I were a claimsmaker, I could assert that mass incarceration is a problem by following the six stages.

The article talks about how a man named, Rodney Roberts was incarcerated for kidnapping and rape, which he said that he didn't commit. Roberts states, “Seventeen years I was gone. I had to understand and process the changes to society, the technology, the cultural changes, the geographical changes” (Roberts). Once you are free from jail, you have to realize that things in the community are not going to be the same anymore. You are going to come across things that you are not use to anymore, but think about if this would happen while in jail.

After watching 13th, the issue of mass incarceration holds a more daunting presence in my mind. The statistics given are staggering in their implications, and the historical records show shocking relevance to today’s events. Before watching this movie, I had not obtained much knowledge pertaining to the labor work conducted in American prisons under the provisions of the Thirteenth Amendment. After witnessing the facts that the documentary presented, assuming, for the purpose of writing this response, that they are truthful, it’s difficult to ignore the dilemma of mass incarceration in the United States. However, the filmmakers may have tried, in slight excess, to support the idea of systemic racism that is so commonly conversed about in modern

In the US, the number of incarcerated people in the prison systems cumulatively will form the fourth largest city in the US by population. This serves to underline the importance of addressing the issues that affect the prisoners and the other employees of these correctional services. The first issue that is affecting the success of the correctional services provided by the prison services is the congestion in the prisons. Most of the prisons in the United States were built a long time ago and with the increased population of imprisoned offenders, their capacity to handle prisoners has been greatly overstretched. An example of overstretched prison facilities is in the state of California where the state has been forced to transfer its prisoners

Convicts were first bought to Australia in the year 1788 with the first fleet which was led by Captain Arthur Phillips. In the first fleet, there were 11 ships with a total of 717 convicts aboard. The ships were called, Alexander, Borrowdale, Charlotte, Fishburn, Friendship, Golden Grove, Lady Penrhyn, Prince of Wales, Scarborough, HMS Sirius and HMS Supply. Out of these 11 ships, 6 of them were used to transport convicts. These 6 ships were, Alexander, Charlotte, Friendship, Lady Penrhyn, Prince of Wales and the last one was Scarborough. The other 5 were used to transport supplies. This voyage from England to Australia took over 252 days which would be 8 months and 1 week. The first fleet set sail on the 13th of May in the year 1787 from England

Throughout history, people have been incarcerated and imprisoned for voicing their beliefs. Can those who are confined to a prison cell now be associated with those who faced similar treatment on Alcatraz Island? I feel that while some problems go away and new ones arise, there are always going to be social issues and there are people affected by the issues who want to be heard and acknowledged. Philip Grosser and DeRay Mckesson are two activists who were arrested, but for different issues that happened during different times.

When you think of a story of the future, you don’t think of it in an era of the past, but this story is different. Incarceron is a tale of the distant future after ‘the years of rage’ which was a chaotic time of war. After the years of rage they decided to move to a perfect era of the past to maintain the peace. The era they chose was the 1800’s. Anything not of the era is banned from existence and everyone conformed to the rules of that time period.

I would inform the patient that most skin burns that are small and superficial will heal within one week and will not usually scar. After a superficial partial-thickness burn, the skin may become darker or lighter in color, but will not usually scar.

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) defines leg ulcer as the loss of skin on the leg below the knee or foot, which takes more than 2 weeks to heal. Venous leg ulceration is due to sustained venous hypertension, which results from chronic venous insufficiency and/or an impaired calf muscle pump. Venous leg ulcers

Boot camp is by far the most expensive correctional option averaging almost $3500.00 more per person each year than the next available option being prison (Schmalleger & Smykla, 2015). Boot camp options began in 1983 and through today the data shows these programs to be less and less used (Schmalleger & Smykla, 2015). It’s not merely the cost to operate boot camps, but the fact that evidence shows there has been no positive affect on recidivism (Schmalleger & Smykla, 2015). Whether a critic of boot camps or a supporter of them, I believe the future of these programs is doomed for one reason. Money is always going to be the driving force in today’s poor economy, which I believe will ultimately lead to the demise of boot camp programs.
