Prison Motivation Report

I think I would have acted strong but not as forceful as a guard. I don’t think I would have it in my body to inflict that kind of torture on people regardless of what I was ordered to do. I also think in the told of the prisoner I would do what I was told regardless of how much it may leaving lasting scars. I would have been scared out of my mind as a prisoner so I would have just went along with whatever was being ordered to do. When it comes to the guards, I am pretty confident about not acting like they did in the experiment but when it comes to the way the prisoners acted, I’m not so sure that I wouldn’t act any different than they did. I think they felt trap and alone and that no one care about their wellbeing and I think I would feel

In the closing statement, Ta-Nehisi Coates provides us a statement inquiring that “police are turning to police brutality to solve situations where it's not needed then leading them to overuse their power. The use of excessive physical assault or verbal assault during police procedures, such as apprehending or interrogating a suspect should never be acceptable. Deadly force is not always excessive force. However, when deadly force exceeds the force that is necessary to create a safe environment, it is considered police brutality. This is emphasised in Ta-Nehisi essay when said “his father called the police, who apparently arrived to find the 19-year-old wielding a bat. Interpreting this as a lethal threat, one of the officers shot and killed LeGrier and somehow managed to shoot and kill one of his neighbors, Bettie Jones.” this situation could have been conducted differently Though the officer over used his authority and instead of simply calming the man down governing both the father and son he chose to kill which wasn't rational .

A police officer’s responsibility is to ensure the safety of the citizens in whichever state or country they are in by patrolling around areas and arresting individuals who are a danger to society. While there are many police officers that lead by example in complying with their duties, there are also many police officers that don’t and fall out of line with the law. When a police officer falls out of line with the law, it could be for many reasons such as robbery, murder, etc. Resulting from a lack of training, incompetence, poor decision making, racism, and greed. In the case of Sergeant Hugh Barry, who pertained to the police force for eight years, was charged on May 31st, 2017, with the murder of a woman who is said to have had a mental illness. Sergeant Barry and other officers had responded to a 911 call of a woman whose name is Deborah Danner. According to Al Baker, “Four officers and two paramedics arrived around 6 p.m. and Sergeant Barry arrived minutes later. The encounter ended with Sergeant Barry firing twice, fatally wounding Ms. Danner, who was in her bedroom” (Baker 1). A woman who was said to be displaying erratic behavior in a hallway of the building she resided in and it wasn’t the first time the police have been called as a complaint towards her. Rather than follow police protocol and wait for an emergency service unit, Baker states that he had not, “Mayor Bill de Blasio and the police commissioner, James P. O’Neill, said Sergeant Barry had not followed police protocol for dealing with people with mental illness. Specifically, he did not use his stun gun to try to subdue Ms. Danner, and he did not wait for a specialized Emergency Service Unit to arrive. (Baker 1). As a result of this, Barry was charged with “second-degree murder, first- and second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide and was suspended without pay” (Baker 1). Had Sergeant Barry followed the protocol that he was taught upon joining the police force, the woman who he murdered might still be alive. That is why this case is important in highlighting one of many reasons police officers could fall out of line with the law, especially in this event that led to murder because of reasons such as poor decision making

Walter Scott’s shooting by a police officer in April 2015 defines the racism in the American policing from a new perspective. In the incident, 33-year-old American police officer Michael Slager shot Walter Scott eight times in the back when Scott tried to run away from him. Slager had asked Scott to pull over because of some issues in the taillight of the car. Slager claimed before the court that he had to take this action because Scott had taken away his taser, and he was afraid that Scott might be a threat to his own life. However, later evidence from Feidin Santana, a passerby, revealed to the media a video that Santana had shot at the time of this incident. In this video, it was evident that Slager and Scott indulged in a little brawl before Scott tried to run away. Slager had his taser intact because the video clarifies that while tackling the dead body of Scott, Slager was seen handling his taser - it was not in the victim 's hands. Slager was dismissed with immediate effect from his post, and he was accused of murder (Infobase). The injustice of Walter Scott 's death clearly demonstrates that it is crucial for all police officers to wear body cameras. Police officers in body cameras will prevent violence between officers and civilians, hold officers accountable for inappropriate behavior, and serve as on-hand evidence for future judicial actions.

He and his friend Dorian Johnson were reported suspects of a robbery. There was an altercation with Brown and the officer, he lost control and the gun went off. Michael Brown was moving toward the officer with his hands up while the officer shot brown twelve times. Brown had no weapon on him and was not a physical threat. Walter Scott was 50 years old and a father of four. He was pulled over at a traffic stop for non working brake light. In the witnesses video, it shows scott running away from the officer. Why did he run?, who knows. His parents think it was because he owed 18,000 dollars in child support. That still doesn't give an officer the right to shoot him

Daniel Pantaleo, the officer who applied a chokehold on Garner and ultimately killed him, has been stripped of both his gun and badge and was assigned to a non-enforcement role during the

I can't breathe!" as officers slammed him on the ground. Police said he suffered a heart attack and died en route to a hospital. The death was ruled a homicide. The jury later declined to indict Officer Pantaleo. After reading this and watching video of their encounter I have a difficult time trying to find a answer to why a officer would act in such a way. Doing the opposite of protecting Garner and not listening to his cries for help. Garner died in the hands of Officer Pantaleo over selling cigarettes. This is an example of excessive force being use and the police aren’t holding Officer Pantaleo accountable for his

Citizens began to say that Officer Darren Wilson should have pepper sprayed the victim, tased him, or called for back up. All of those alternatives look good on paper, but in the moment when you are being beaten to what could have been death, you have to think either I am going to let this man beat me to death or I am going to go home to my family. The jury in this case decided not to indict Mr. Wilson, but since the incident, he has had a difficult finding another job being a police officer.

Prison reports have many purposes as their feed backs are taken into consideration most of the time. The purposes of prison reports are mainly to detect the situations in prison and how much of an impact it has on the prisoners within the prison. To some extent it may be noticed that prison reports don’t have many impacts on the prison. Prison reports comprehends many recommendations and most of them are not given enough thoughts to it,.

Michael Slager faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted of murder in the shooting death of Scott, who was running away on foot from a traffic stop in North Charleston, S.C., on April 4, 2015. Scott was unarmed. In the report says that he was shot eight times before he was killed. Here we see that this white police officer used deadly force toward this black guy. He could have used different alternatives to try to arrest Mr. Scott for example, he could have used his taser and if that didn’t work he could have shot him but only once not eight times that’s use of excessive force which is not needed. The sad reality is that many of these officers who use police brutality are acquitted of the charges facing. In this case, Mr. Slager murder charges were dropped once he pleaded guilty to federal charges of civil rights

It is completely wrong to accuse someone for something they didn’t do. Garner was minding his own business and the police shows up and accuses him of selling loose cigarettes, then the officer made the first move and attacks him. I believe that officer Pantaleo should have gotten charged

Many police officers decide that it is best to use force. Even when it is not required. An innocent man asked a police officer to move his vehicle out of his driveway and the officer forced him out of his house. The officer had a “...history of brutality, attacked him, tasered him in the back, kidnapped him and threw him in a cage for weeks — causing him to lose his job, his house, and his dignity” (Algorist). This cop chose to harm an innocent man and risk his job over a simple question that could have been resolved in a much safer manner. The cop used force towards the man and the man was not a criminal.

The idea of sympathetic release of ill and elderly prisoners is not new. In 1994, Professor Russell published consideration of medical parole and compassionate release programs of district and fifty states of Columbia. Only three

"I have visited some of the best and the worst prisons and have never seen signs of coddling, but I have seen the terrible results of the boredom and frustration of empty hours and pointless existence"
