Prison Tern Policy Recommendation

Supermax Prisons are the most secured prisons in the United States. According to the NPR Report, supermax are stand-alone unit/cell which are part of another facility and is designated for the most violent and/or disruptive inmates. The supermax typically involves lockdown up to 23-hour-per-day, single-cell confinement for an indefinite period of time. Inmates in supermax housing have minimal contact with staff and other inmates. Upon been transferred to a supermax prison, people tend to stay there for several years or indefinitely depending on their sentencing. The administrators of a supermax prison along with the correctional officers have sufficient authority to punish and manage the inmates, without outside review or some prisoner grievance

How many of have a relative or a friend who is staying in prison? I believe we have or at least we had, so what we can do is seek for reform for them. According to UNODC that prison reforms are necessary to better the conditions for prisoners to enable the creation of an efficient and reliable correctional system. In reforming the prison system, it is essential for alternatives to imprisonment to be explored. There has been large number of people serving prison sentences in American prisons. In fact, America has the world’s highest number of prisoners with over 2.2 million Americans in prison.

Robbery was, and still is, a terrible crime. “Law 21” states that “if a man has broken through the wall [to rob] a house, they shall put him to death and pierce him, or hang him in the hole which he has made”. Sentencing a man to death because of a burglary seems reasonable because it is a crime to steal, or at least attempt to. The second part of the law is much too gruesome, though. “Hang him in the hole which he has made” is not very polite to the owners of the house.

As a criminologist advisor to a member of the state legislature. The legislature will soon vote on a bill that, if it passes, would double the maximum prison term for anyone convicted of armed robbery. My boss knows the bill is popular, but wonders if it will do much good. I will explain what recommendations I would make, the reasons for my recommendations, and is it a good bill or a bad bill to pass and how effective the bill will be.

A major issue facing the prison system and society is the fact that prisons are not equipped to meet the needs of older prisoners and older prisoners are not adequately prepared to-renter society.

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.

The truth-in-sentencing law eliminates or restricts inmates from being eligible for parole and receiving good-time credits (Ditton & Wilson, 1999). Through the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 the United States’ Congress authorized funding to build more jails and state prisons (Ditton & Wilson, 1999). In 1998 twenty seven states, as well as, the District of Columbia received incentive grants for meeting the eligibility criteria for their Truth-in-Sentencing programs (Ditton & Wilson, 1999). The last three decades of sentencing reform includes: indeterminate sentencing, determinate sentencing, mandatory minimum sentences, sentencing guidelines, and truth-in-sentencing (Ditton & Wilson, 1999).

A person will be charged with robbery when they forcibly take property from another individual, and this charged is upgraded to aggravated robbery if someone is injured during the crime or a firearm is used. Missouri takes this a step further and adds an armed criminal action charge when a weapon is used during a robbery. Any felony committed in Missouri which involves a deadly or dangerous weapon will have this additional charge, which carries with it a sentence of imprisonment for a minimum of three years, upon conviction.In contrast, Kansas considers robbery a level five person felony and aggravated robbery a level three person felony. When no weapon is used during a robbery in Missouri, the individual will be charged with either a class A or class B

Defined by our text books, Essentials of Criminal Justice, super-maximum-security prisons are “the newest form of maximum-security prison that uses high-level security measures to incapacitate the nation’s most dangerous criminals.” Supermax prisons can either be found as individual buildings or a part in already established prisons Around 25,000 inmates are housed in supermax prisons..How do prisoners end up in supermax prisons? Prisoners in supermax prisons are usually very hostile and dangerous. They are considered as a threat to both other inmates and staff in the prison.

Healthcare is a big topic no matter how you view it, but when looking at it from the point of a person who is in prison, it takes on a whole new view. Those who are in prison have federal and state laws that say that the prisons must provide them with medical facilities for their healthcare needs. This paper will identify a governmental agency that regulates the healthcare that is provided to prisoners in an institution within the United States, along with the foundation of such an agency and who regulates the licenses, accreditation, certifications, and authorization for employment for those who work within one of these

This article suggests that several implemented policies and practices between the 1940s and 1960s created a channel for high rates of incarceration, ranging from a variety of converging historical, social, economic, and political forces. 1961 was the beginning to a decades long increase in incarceration rates, also a major alteration in urban economical standings that comprised of the disappearance of many well-paid jobs for low-skilled workers. Before World War II, implementation and enforcement of criminal justice policy in the United States were almost exclusively within the purview of the states or local authorities, not the federal government (NAP,2017).
