Mississippi Jail: A Case Study

In 2011, I spent time serving in prisons with a church organization who’s goal was to change the systemic problems within the prison system. This caused me to examine all aspects of inequality and oppression that disproportionately affects people of color.

On December 11, 2016 at approximately 1330 hours, Detention Officer Harden reported duty and was assigned to work 1200 Baker Street Jail, 3rd Floor, A-Pod Control Center. At approximately 1420 hours, Detention Officer Harden advised she was not feeling well. At approximately 1430 Hours, Detention Officer Harden had her blood pressure checked in the 1200 Jail Clinic and was advised it was elevated. At approximately 1440 hours I called for Houston Fire Department. At approximately 1445 hours Houston Fire Department Medic 17 arrived at 1200 Baker Street Jail. Detention Officer Harden declined transport at approximately 1500 hours. At approximately 1505 hours, Sergeant Chad King took Detention Officer Harden to her husband’s work location Lieutenant

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.

The man carried a knife. He refused to allow the 11 children and a woman to leave. Investigators of criminal law discovered that the incident occured because of a domestic dispute. Police called the SWAT team to Rite4us Inn, which is 10 miles to the southeast of Atlanta.

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.

Tennessee’s probation and parole agencies fall under Tennessee’s Department of Corrections (TDOC), which is overseen by its current commissioner, Tony C. Parker (“Department Overview”, n.d.). One of the first to be fully accredited through the American Correctional Association (ACA), this department is recognized as a top tier program that others strive to be (“Department Overview”, n.d.).

After touring both the Pendleton maximum security prison, and the Pendleton juvenile correctional facility I can say that while they both house inmates, the way they treat their inmates is totally different compared to one another. In Pendleton maximum facility, the staff would treat their inmates like any other criminal and hold them until it was time for them to be released, while in the Pendleton juvenile facility the staff called the inmates “students” while holding them until they believe the students are ready to behave when they are released. In this paper I want to explain how both facilities handles their inmates differently, the facilities themselves and their layouts, the rehabilitative programs available at both facilities, and how the security levels and the number of inmates assigned to the facilities effect how the treatment is implemented at each facility.

According to the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, children who have at least one parent in prison at the age of six are twice as likely to be involved in criminal activities as their peers (ASPE n.d.). We have heard it said many times; like father, like son. It means that, in traits such as looks, speech, or character, children are much like their parents. Growing up in a difficult situation often has some negative effects. Children of incarcerated individuals in particular have a rough time. They struggle to have good relationships with their parents, if any at all. Many develop mental and physical health issues due to such hardships. Therefore, the best method of ensuring healthy development

“A male passenger got up and attacked the driver and was armed with a knife,” said Sgt. Doug Hubbard.

Mr. Ming has a good jail report from Madison County Jail from jail authorities. Ming claims he dosent have any contact with family members. He completed high school in China, and worked as a laborer and various different jobs. Defendant took English classes but still speaks very little of English.

Cities with higher incarceration rates had increased socio-economic instability. Some neighborhoods decreased in population so severely that they became non-existent due to the mass incarceration rate. Because the government allowed the inmates to work for private industry for a fraction of what the standard wage was at the time, many free-laborers had difficulty finding gainful employment and had lost their ability to use collective bargaining. The free-labor loss of jobs associated with hiring inmates also increased poverty in urban areas which in turn increased crimes of

Defendant Smith has been arrested for possession of enough ecstasy for two hits and has admitted to using alcohol, cocaine, and marijuana in the past. Clearly this indicates that he has a drug problem. However, he has no prior criminal record, has held down a job in construction for the past two years, and has a child for whom he must pay child support. He has fallen behind as of late and may be tied to his drug abuse, for which he has never received counseling or treatment. Give that he has never received treatment, has a job, and a child to support, I would recommend that he be placed into a Drug Court Program.

A key issue, in this case, was the purported location of the assassin at the time the shot was fired. Unfortunately, data regarding the trajectory of the bullet was unobtainable in this case since the dissection of the bullet’s path was not performed by Dr. Francisco during his autopsy, nor was it ever determined what Dr. King’s exact position was at the time of the shooting. However, based on eyewitness testimony at the time of impact, it was determined that the shooter fired from the bathroom window at the rear of a rooming house at 422 1/2 South Street in Memphis.
