Polk County: Case Study

When we modernize roads in the future, people will not be able to see much change. In fact, aside from widening some criminally narrow roads, and maybe a few additional routes where appropriate; before and after pictures will likely be pretty much identical.

Although the original South Carolina correctional system was created in 1866, the modern South Carolina Department of Corrections (SCDC) was established in 1960. It is headquartered in the state capital of Columbia and answers to the governor. There are over twenty thousand inmates contained, and the SCDC has twenty-two institutions. The mission of the SCDC is safety, security, and stewardship. It aims to both contain and rehabilitate inmates to promote the safety of South Carolina citizens while preparing the inmates for reintegration into society. Its director is Bryan P. Stirling.

How many times have you been on the road when your car begins to bounce because of how bad the roads are? In Wisconsin, 71% of the roads are in bad shape, by Shullsburg fixing their roads, this would decrease the amount of faulty roads in the state by 5%. Because of these reasons, I believe Shullsburg should look into these issues.

Because the inmates in this jail range from low level offenders to those being held for violent crimes like rape, robbery, drugs, DUI’s or domestic violence, this facility is a direct supervision, medium-security

The state of Texas is well known for its fast grown as a southern state, due to the idea of better opportunities of employment and for having a cheap lifestyle such as housing and food. But not everything is so good, the transportation in Texas is not very efficient. Even when the state has more than 501 highways, they seem to not be on the best conditions. The infrastructures' bad shapes not only affects the state, in general, but it also affects the residents.

Throughout the years’ roads have been a huge issue in the El Paso area. There have been many road improvement projects suggested for the eastern part of El Paso county. Many roads have begun to go under construction, but are they fixing the right roads? In the matter of Old Hueco Tanks Road, there are many components missing; there’s pretty much no road to begin with.

Gus DiCesar, the Hilltop County sheriff, proposed the trustees to be taken out from jail 6 days a week. He also asked for a truck for taking the prisoners to roadsides to clean the county’s roadways from trash and debris.

Comparing the financial cost of the interstate with the cost of having to reallocate funding or stopping programs in an effort to decrease traffic congestion will create a greater economic downturn if not done in moderation as well as a decrease in confidence in lawmakers. The lawmakers will feel the decrease in confidence by citizens during elections. Unless the local government can generate and use other sources of revenue to continue highway improvement, the decision to remove the city’s funding is not practical.

The roads in the Greater Baton Rouge area are almost always in a state of disrepair. Unfortunately the state does not have the funds to repair the road so it’s up to Baton Rouge drivers to make do with what they have. With the roads in such horrible conditions drivers must, use the freeway whenever possible, plan out their routes, and drive carefully in order to avoid traffic accidents.

This interview will provide a firsthand look from Ray LaHood who was the secretary of transportation during the first Obama administration. This looks at the political views and constraints around rebuilding roads and bridges. There are around 70,000 bridges and thousands of miles of roadways that need repair. One of the main issues is, politicians do not want to spend

Our transportation system, quite arguably, may embody our most vital system, as Infrastructure and Democracy clarifies, “access is the hallmark of a great infrastructure” (Jones, Reinecke). By great contrast, our roads remain a current issue. 42 percent of America’s urban highways remain congested, costing the United States 101 billion dollars in wasted time and fuel each year. Also, the32 percent of roads, in poor or mediocre condition, cost the average traveler $324 per year (American Infrastructure Report Card). Unfortunately, updating the highway systems seems longer than it may seem, as the Government Accountability Office (GAO) estimates that from proposal to completion most highways will need nine to nineteen years to fix (Leduc, Wilson 129). In addition to the roads, our bridges are failing just as much. One of every nine bridges within the United States is categorized as structurally deficient. The average bridge 42 years old, and in order to eliminate the bridge renovation backlog, our country would need to invest twenty and a half billion dollars until 2028 (American Infrastructure Report Card). However, in 2013, the United States only invested 12.8 billion dollars in bridge reconstruction and repair (American Infrastructure Report Card). Also, our countries transit
