This inquiry was conducted in an effort to located and ascertain from Mr. Batista if all of his courtesy cards were returned to him from his arrest in February 4 and 5 of

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.

Andersonville Prison epitomized the ultimate crime against humanity. The atrocities that transpired in this confederate prison sparked reaction and outrage at the conclusion of the Civil War.

New Life Prison is a private prison located in an unincorporated area of Brentwood, CA New Life prison is a dormitory setting and a minimum security prison for level one and two male inmate population of 500. New Life Prison is too focused on lowering the recidivism rate in CA. New Life prison is a new private prison and receives funding from grants and donations. New Life mission is to focus on the level one and two inmate’s within the state prison system. New Life mission is to help these individuals move on passed the crime they have committed and began to live their life again. In 2004 Folsom state prison was able to move their level one and two inmates to a minimum security facility (Department of Correction 2015). Most of these inmates

Throughout the nineteenth century, penology was characterized by a debate between two 'schools'. The first was the system of "solitary" and "segregation" proposed by the Pennsylvania penitentiary. The second, that of which will be discussed in this paper, the "silent" and "congregate" system was designed for the Auburn penitentiary in New York State.

There is no typical jail. Many jails are part of multipurpose buildings that also serve as the county courthouse, the sheriff's office, or the police station. Others are larger and self-contained. Although it is often charged that most jails are antiquated, the majority of jails were opened between the 1950s and 1980s. Although most jails are small, rural or suburban facilities, almost half of all jailed prisoners are in large urban institutions, which tend to be chronically overcrowded. Many jails utilize double occupancy, perching two or more inmates into cells designed for one. Large numbers of inmates are also housed in dormitories. Many of these arrangements are a far cry from meeting the standards promulgated by the Commission on Accreditation

Directing 30 Rock, writing for Saturday Night Live, and taking care of her newly born child certainly did not stop Tina Fey from writing a book. With years of being in the television business, the comedian decided to test out the literature field with an autobiography titled Bossypants. The book talks about her childhood adventures, how she became a writer for Saturday Night Live, and what directing 30 Rock was like.

The Standford Prison Experiment was designed to show the development of norms and how the socialization of the roles would proceed in the prison environment. I strongly believe that this experiment was highly unethical because the prisoners were forced to break norms that they would not have done otherwise. The guards believed that in order to maintain control in the prison, they must resort to unreasonable punishments like cleaning the toilets with their hands or be locked in confinement. I do not believe that this experiment would be able to be repeated in today's society. This experiment caused psychological problems and distress to the prisoners. The participants became their roles and lost their self control and respect. The results of

The incarcerated individuals within the correctional facilities in Canada make up one of the highest risk population groups for HIV and it continues to be a significant problem within the Canadian correctional facilities (Chu, Elliott, & Canadian HIV/AIDS network, 2009). Canadian prisoners make up a substantial chunk of the individuals infected with HIV as whole, inside and outside of the prison system (Chu, Peddle, & Canadian HIV-AIDS Legal Network, 2010). The HIV rate in Canadian prisons remains relatively stable, which is good news, however, there is not a whole lot done in order to help the individuals who are infected with HIV at the moment (Public health agency of Canada, 2012). During the years of 2009 and 2010 there were 13,500 incarcerated inmates and of that population roughly 2% were infected with HIV, this did not include the individuals who have not disclosed their HIV status to prison officials; or those who are HIV positive but have not been tested for the virus (Public health agency of Canada, 2012). An article written by Bonnycastle and Villebrun, (2011) found that the CSC infectious disease surveillance system estimates that 70% of prisoners remain unscreened for HIV, because the prisoners at the highest risk for the disease are more likely to forgo the testing. Drug use is prohibited within Canadian prisons, however, it still continues to be a problem with the inmates (Correctional service of Canada, 2015). Drug use is the biggest reason that inmates are

Did you know in private juvenile prison that two kids were hit and abused when they're serving their time. There's about over 5 million prisoners in private prisons at any time and that the prison usually don't focus on keeping prisoners and workers safe but on profit “Their very existence, raises an ethical issue... basing the operation of a prison on a purely profit motivation?” Anderson 16. For profit prisons should be banned because high risk for inmates, untrained staff, and over populated prisons.

Turning a town into a “prison town” can have several positive and negative effects on the town’s economy. Often when a town is turned into a prison town, local shops are replaced with big chain stores, like Walmart. The problem with this is that these big chains stores send their profits to the cooperation and do not reinvest in the local economy.

During the time of my great grandparent first days, Bolivia tried to copy this constructing the national prison of San Pedro in the city of La Paz (political capital of the State), but there was a big gap between the system, the laws that they wanted to execute and the national reality; since the State did not have the disposition to assume the tutelage and forming and disciplinary responsibility of the prisoners, an oligarchical society that never ceases to criminalize indians, who are not recognized as persons with rights and that economically do not deserve any inversion from the justice system.

Prison practices started to become more common in the United States following the civil war in 1865, in the form of using previous slaves to work the lands, picking cottons, and more with a promise to reward them with an insignificant shares that is almost not worth it. The beneficiaries continue to take advantage of the slavery system since it is so profitable, to even the extent of utilizing prison for cheaper labor by violating the 13th amendment stating: “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude except as a punishment of a crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” (Library of congress, 2016).

The rising cost of inmate health care in American prisons has been a topic of discussion for many. What has not been discussed as attentively, though, are the rising mental health costs for the aging inmate population. The mandatory sentencing policies instituted in the 1970s have caused a dramatic increase in the nation’s prison population, with 125,000 of 1.5 million inmates being aged 55 years or older in 2010, according to a Human Rights Watch report. Annual health care costs for an inmate aged 55-59 are approximately $11,000, while the annual costs for an inmate aged 80 and higher are nearly four times that amount. Compare these figures to the $5,500 annual health care cost for a younger inmate and the issue becomes undeniable – it is essential that our nation discovers a way to both decrease health care costs for inmates and address the growing population of elderly inmates.

Moreover, it is common for the convicts to simply have to survive through hard conditions, and prison staff who harass them in American prisons. Larson describes how the inmates do not receive the help they need, and how they walk out “with resentment at the destructive stupidity of the prison”. In the end, these emotions have more influence than the regret and shame to have violated the law. Additionally, American prisons create re-offenders rather than prevent the inmates from receding into old patterns (Larson 2013). In a research done by Keith Chen, and Jesse Shapiro they state that “harsher prison conditions lead to more post-release crime” (Chen, Shapiro, 2007). Similarly, Larson writes “the more closed a system is, the harder it will
