Glaton's Image Of Men In Prison

During this week I read Prisoner B-3087 By Alan Gratz, Yanek was moved around to handful of concentration camps. Yanek was moved a camp called Birkenau. Right when the Jews arrived at the camp they were ordered to take their clothes off. They had been put in a room with sprinklers on the ceiling. Yanek was thinking to himself this is going to be the end, I’m going to die. Then the sprinkles turned on and ice cold water came out. In the text I read, “ I was going to live! I laughed I cried, and so did the other men.” This made me realize how thankful Yanek was. I can relate to this because I have been thankful, last year my great grandma had a stroke, Half her brain ended up dying and she was paralysed. After I found out she pasted away I was

In The Allegory of the Cave, Plato uses a vast spectrum of imagery to explain ones descent from the cave to the light. While Plato uses this Allegory to explain his point through Socrates to Glaucon. This allegory has many different meanings. The Allegory can be used in many different ways, from religion to politics to ones own intellectual enlightenment, or it can be interpreted as the blinded person in a colt like reality. Are we all prisoners in a world that is forced on us through the media? How do we really know that we are not just pawns in some one’s chess game. What meaning was Plato trying to introduce to Glaucon? This cave can represent many aspects in the world. And the prisoners can be any one. The

On 05/15/17 at approximately 2242 hours, at the 4th Ave. Jail located at 201 S.4th Ave. Phoenix AZ 85003; while conducting a security walk in 2C 100 pod, SP-2 Inmate Arroyo, Daniel T326894 advised me he needed to be moved to a different location. I then questioned the Inmate Arroyo and asked why did he need to be moved? While speaking to Arroyo, I noticed his physical conditions and blood on his face, he advised to me that he had been assaulted and wanted to be moved from his current pod. Sgt. Weber A5273 the lead on level two at that time, was advised of the assault and directed me to review the video of 2C pod 100. While watching the video, I discovered that SP-1 inmate Gloria, Arnold T362962, and inmate Arroyo were engaged in some type

According to this allegory, which is related to Plato's Theory of Forms", the "Forms" (or Ideas"), own the highest and most fundamental kind of reality, and not the material world of change known to us through sensation. Real knowledge composes of knowledge of the Forms only. It is an attempt to explain the philosopher's place in society and to attempt to impart knowledge to the "prisoners".

There are three models of prisons that have been prominent in American since the early 1940’s: custodial, rehabilitative, and reintegration. Each model is designed differently based on its overriding goal, and this affects the physical design, policies, and programs that are implemented within each of the models.

Summary: Chapter 2 discusses correctional history. Two French visitors were able to compare and contrast their experience in an American prison. Early punishment in the western countries consisted of whipping, branding, mutilation, drowning, suffocation, execution, and banishment. The first correctional facility were jails and influenced by Catholic Churches in the middle age times. This chapter introduces two individuals that were very influential to the correction system, John Howard, and William Penn. John Howard could persuade the government to lighten the punishment, separate jails for females and males, provide sanitary, food, and water. William Penn served jail time but was released due to wealth. Later in life he was given the opportunity to propose laws & he used this moment to fix how inmates are treated. He was against harsh punishment.

It is no secret that roughly half of the inmate population within the correctional system and the criminal justice system suffer from some form of mental illness or mental disorder. The court systems are currently treating correctional facilities more like psychiatric institutions. Because of this, society has formed stigmatizations around the correctional system and the individuals within it. There is a collective on beliefs and values about mental illness within society and their stigmatizations. This paper will demonstrate an understanding of these stigmatizations and the impact it has not only on the individual, but the corrections system in how to deal with the individual and their mental illness.

“Jailen is the best player in the nation now bringing new basketball to the game”. “Yeah playing just like his brother used to….maybe even better”. “Jailen had some hard times with his Mom, Dad, and Brother dying all in the same night” “ the game is on the Line 5….4….3….2….1….”.

An allegory is a piece of art or literature, like a poem or story, in which people, things, or events have a hidden or symbolic meaning. Yuri Herrera’s characters and their actions in his short story “The Objects” fall under this category. Herrera uses allegories to portray his theme. He uses his characters to proclaim to his audience about the truths of the world they live in. He portrays his emotions through his characters and the threats they face. Herrera utilizes these events to express the truths of the the world in which the people live.

only see before them, being prevented by the chains from turning round their heads” (The Republic). It can be interpreted from the beginning lines of the allegory that there are people being held as prisoners. However, it was initially unclear what the symbolism of being in bondage meant. In the text, Socrates illustrates the point that people are only as wise as their experiences take them. One has

In today's modern society prisons are seen as a dirty, old, and scary place where those who have committed crimes go to spend time depending on what crime they committed. The idea behind prisons is that no one will ever leave because of all the actions taken in order to avoid a prison break, but in actuality prisons are more easy to break out from than people think, due to the psychological aspect or how guards treat the inmates, food, and how big or small the prison may be.

Are prisons effective total institutions or do they more commonly fail in their goal of resocialization?

As the number of convicted felons in prisons increase daily, the government is constantly looking for methods to prevent released prisoners from going back to prison. A controversial plan that has taken the country by storm is a plan wanting to give the prisoners the opportunity to receive a college education while in jail. In “College for Criminals,” Bill Keller takes great advantage of statistics and comes off to the reader as knowledgeable and well-informed. The other article, “Let Prisoners Take College Courses,” by John J. Lennon, does a magnificent job of introducing the author to the reader as an honest and compassionate man. Among the two Op-Eds, the author John Lennon does a more effective job in convincing the reader to trust him

The Allegory of the Cavern aims to reveal the state in which, with regard to education or lack of it, our nature is found, that is, the state in which most men are found in relation to the knowledge of truth or ignorance. Thus, the prisoners represent the majority of humanity, slave and prisoner of their ignorance and unconscious of it, clinging to the customs, opinions, prejudices and false beliefs of always. These prisoners, like most men, believe they know and feel happy in their ignorance, but live in error, and take for real and real what they are but simple shadows of fabricated objects and echoes of voices. This aspect of the myth serves Plato to exemplify, through a language riddled with metaphors, the distinction between sensible world and

The main idea presented by Plato in his infamous Allegory of the Cave is that the average person's perceptions are severely limited by personal perspective. Plato uses the metaphorical situation of prisoners chained together in a way that limited their visual perception to the shadows projected from behind them onto a wall in front of them. He uses that metaphor to illustrate that perspective determines perceptions and also that once an individual achieves a wider or more accurate perspective, it becomes difficult for him to communicate with those who are still limited to the narrower perspective that he may have once shared with them. Plato meant his allegory to apply to the limitations of perspective attributable to social experiences as well as to the absence of formal education and training, particularly in logical reasoning. Plato believed that logical reasoning is a skill that must be learned through formal training and that without adequate training, it is substantially impossible to understand the logical perspective.
