1. Please defer the Bar to Reenlistment until after the final decision by the Convening Authority, since their action will determine whether this Bar could have any merit or is to be rendered null and void. 2. The Bar to Reenlistment is understandably part of the process upon the approval of a conviction and required in conjunction with a conviction pertaining to the nature of my case and charges under the Lautenberg Act. However, the final decision to overturn the conviction has not been made and in a lack of better words, this Bar is equivalent to putting the cart before the horse. 3. I was in prison for two of the missed payments. Regardless of receiving BAH, while incarcerated, I was not actually capable of making the payments. I have not missed a payment since 1 September and continuously sought financial guidance to help recover without claiming bankruptcy (which would put my children out of our house). It has been an additional extreme stressor and I am still holding on to keep a roof over my children’s heads. Yet, on January 1st upon any determined separation the military will not be calling to check up on their livelihood while I continue to do …show more content…
I was late to my place of duty on multiple occasions, true. However, I am constantly in distress, unfocused, and under intense emotional strain. From sleep problems, headaches and moment-to-moment emotional struggles the experiences of this process has been debilitating. Many times I labored just to get out of bed, or walk into the office. On rough days I would fall into depression, and anxiety, with a negative outlook on life. At times, making my bed became a personal victory after hours of restless tossing. The response, I feel, is ridicule and animosity instead of compassion or help. Most days are bad while others terrible. No matter how low I felt I at least count my blessings daily I’m still waking up on the topside of the dirt and each day looking to accomplish even an inch of forward
This essay will explore how prosecutorial misconduct causes wrongful convictions in both the United States and Australia. This essay will also argue that rehabilitation and compensation should be provided by the state. A major flaw in the criminal justice system not only in the United States but also in Australia, is the failure to set forth a plan for the people who were exonerated to be accepted back into society. The lack of a plan for rehabilitation for the exonerated poses a problem for society since some might find it easier to find a job in prison then in the real world, this process makes it immensely difficult for prisoners to get acclimated back into society. The Australian Law Review Committee is an entity which evaluates and gives
Community Based Corrections programs, also known as halfway houses or Residential Reentry facilities, were established as an alternative for prisoners to complete their term of incarceration in a community setting. Residential Reentry facilities provide a structured environment for low, minimum, and high-risk offenders while allowing them to integrate back into society. Specifically, Residential Reentry facilities provide offenders the opportunity to gain employment, establish financial responsibility, and obtain suitable housing. With the overcrowding of prisons, the ability to participate in Community Based Correction programs enables the convicted criminals as well as prison staff to lessen the loads that come with working in a prison as well as improve the lifestyle that comes with incarceration. As with all things in life, there are positive as well as negative outcomes to the participation of these convicted criminals in community-based programs. In viewing the positive and negative outcomes, the end
“Their present decision is equivalent to a repeal of law and the making of law. This is not adjudication, it is mere usurpation. It is the substitution of mere arbitrary will in the place of the solemn and responsible functions of an impartial judicature.”[1]

As society changes, our legal system evolves with it. Prior to the Criminal Justice Act 2003, the principle of double jeopardy meant that a person couldn’t be tried a second time. This act amended this principle, allowing serious crimes, such as murders, to be re tried if some new evidence became available.We will be asking ourselves if these amendments has greatly improved our system of justice, by focusing on why these amendments were made and whether the advantages of such a reform prevail on the disadvantages.
Society holds expectations for its citizens, and non-citizens at a very high level. They expect everyone to abide by the law, and give back to the community. In a perfect world all citizens and non-citizens would be good Samaritans, sadly it is far from that in today’s society. Many individuals are deviant and stray from society’s expectations of them. We know them as criminals. Indeed some of them may be hardened criminals, yet some of them commit petty crimes that are still a burden on society. Whether, their crime is petty or severe, society expects them to pay for their actions. Most criminals at one time or another will spend time in prison or jail.
