Harris County Jail Case Study

Given the number of inmates in the prison system and the high level of recidivism, it is important to seek out possible solutions to this growing problem. By implementing more educationally and vocationally oriented programs it is possible that current recidivism rates can be reduced, thereby offering some relief for existing overcrowding conditions.

Learning about the county jail was an interesting experience. Amongst all the sight seeking, I realized there was several departments within the jail itself. The different departments are called the booking department, incident reports, and finger printing department.

To begin, the first step is to correct our lower offense laws and remove the jail sentencing on almost all of them. This will prevent overcrowding in jails, and in turn save each state money. Housed arrests, which would allow a cheaper solution to jail time, and community service time, which would allow the offender’s to aid their community/state. Then to solve the problem of several hundreds of people in jail over lower offenses, we begin a program to check the mental stability/instability of inmates, and assess to conclude if they are ready to rejoin society.

On 02 March 2017, 1258 Hrs, Michael Goodman DOB:03/02/1992, was arrested by Corporal Kyle Wilmont of the Missouri State Highway Patrol for possession of a controlled substance. He was transported to Dent County Jail and placed on a 24 hour pending issuance of warrants. See his report number 170128387, for further details involving that arrest.

Based on the information gathered from different materials, proceeding with jails, prisons, probation, parole, juvenile, and community corrections may range from many perspectives. Jails and prisons are different from a few perspectives, but it may also vary on the length of time to serve for punishment. Parole and probation are reservation options to help educate criminals about ethical knowledge. Community corrections are also provided to help keep the environment safe from harm. After evaluating the past, present, and future trends of community-based corrections, the program has helped develop other alternatives for offenders. This will help the criminals

Many programs have been initiated to help the problems of overcrowding and negligence. These include education, rehabilitation programs, work-release programs, and other preventative measures. Numerous education programs are offered to inmates. Some prisons even mandate the completion of a GED if the offender never finished high school. Many colleges in the prison’s community partner together with each other to enable higher learning as a possibility for offenders to obtain college credit. These services help inmates succeed in an inmate’s preparation to reintegrate into society with less chances of being arrested again. Offenders that are more prepared to leave prison are not as likely to commit a crime which improves the safety of the public and also saves money from taxpayers.

On 4/3/2016 at approximately 2055 hours we were conducting cell searches in T12B pod of Lower Buckeye Jail (LBJ) at 3250 W. Lower Buckeye Rd.

This paper is about three differences between the Huntington County Jail and the Wabash County Jail. The Huntington County Jail and the Wabash County Jail are both similar and different. The jails are more similar than different; however, my essay is three ways they are different. The jails are different in capacity, the rec areas are different, and the community corrections are in different places.

One particular night I was in my room on my laptop, and Steve abruptly burst through the front door. I could hear my siblings scream, “Stop,” as I walked to the door to see what was going on in the room. Steve and my mom were face to face and appeared to be engaged in a verbal altercation. I ran towards them to step in between the conflict, but it was too late. He had struck my mother and charged at me. He grabbed me by my white tank top shirt, and he dragged me into the kitchen. He picked me up several times and body slammed me on the kitchen floor. I tried to kick him off of me, but my adolescent legs were no match for this 250 pound man. My mother and siblings began to strike him with pots and pans and begged him to get off of me. I manage

Back in February, Texas State Senator Carlos Uresti (D-San Antonio), was found guilty of 11 federal counts of fraud and bribery. Although countless voters and politicians from both parties promptly called on him to step down from office after learning about the guilty verdict, the democratic state senator basically slapped voters in the face and, quite arrogantly, refused to resign.

An open dialogue would be required between the legislature, department of correction personnel and the public. This dialogue would provide policy changes to the early release credit programs that focused on the reduction in prison population of non-violent offenders, establish rehabilitative programs to provide re-entry guidance and most importantly, always keep public safety at the forefront of the discussions. “The earned credits are viewed as incentivizing inmates to participate in rehabilitative programs that, in turn, should reduce recidivism after release from prison” (Turner, 2011). The prison system should not be viewed as a warehouse for humans but rather as a much needed form of justice that provides public safety by removing violent offenders and rehabilitating those that are deemed non-violent. All parties involved should take note that the major flaws in credit programs are not the programs themselves but rather the lack of accountability and

In Kansas City, Missouri, city officials are responsible for overseeing several aspects of the city’s administration. This includes collecting taxes, budgeting, infrastructure maintenance, jail supervision, among others. The Jackson County Jail is housed in Kansas City, and the Kansas City council is partially responsible for the funding and operation of the jail, as it houses city statute violators. The correctional staff is made up of members of the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, so are outside the scope of the city’s supervision. Since the jail is housed in the city of Kansas City, the city legislature is responsible primarily for the operations of the jail.

Increase the use of risk-and-needs assessment: Expand the use of risk-assessment tools by IDOC, the Prisoner Review Board, Community Re-entry programs, and Summit of Hope events, so that rehabilitative resources, such as drug and mental health treatment, are targeted at those offenders who would benefit the most from them. Also look into combine them, for one good assessment for re-entry.
