RFID In Prison

In the book Mass Incarceration on trial, we learn about the difficulties that the country faces now with the huge amount of prisoners the United States have today. Jonathan Simon discusses several decisions including Brown v. Plata, a case that explains that California abuses the cap of the prisoner it holds and how it was ruled unconstitutional, and Madrid v. Gomez, where they find the 8th amendment being violated in the prison system. Our prison system has been a disaster throughout the last several years and our human rights have been violated for many years as well. Simon explains throughout the book that instead of putting people in jail and making more prisons we should look at ways to keep people out of jail, which could save taxpayers plenty of money over time. Our country carries the most incarcerated individuals, more people than even China whose population is three times ours. The United States has been building more prisons than even schools for various years and every time they build a prison it seems to be over crowd within a few year this book also talks about how we should approach in different methods and the way we treat our inmates in our country. Inmates are also exposed to various disease and with very little options for treatment, this disease can sometimes be passed through drugs or tattoos which are very common in prisons. Prisoners have rights and they are not being treated like humans Simons defends their rights and studies the pros and cons very in

High incarceration rates in the United States are astronomical. According to Williams (2014), there are more than twenty-four million people incarcerated between the state, federal, juvenile correctional facilities, jails, military prisons, immigration detention facilities, civil commitment center and prisons in the U.S. territories. The makes the United States to have the highest incarceration rate in the world. Texas prison system has grown faster than any other state and has been reported that one out of every twenty adults were in the corrections system under one form or another (Texas Tough, n.d.). The problem is that the crime rates do not account for the [prison] rates (Hartney, 2006). Thus, from the overcrowding, there are issues with

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 incarceration to be explored (UNODC). There has been a sizeable escalation in the number of individuals serving prison sentences in American prisons. In fact, America has the world’s highest number of incarceration cases with over 2.2 million Americans in prison. The increased number of inmates has resulted in unprecedented congestion in prisons. Further, the available funds from state governments have been significantly outstretched by the expanded penal system.

With Securus Technology's solutions for corrections facilities, crimes are stopped before they occur, which makes inmates, corrections officers and the public safer. After recently reading a press release where Securus shared a few of the thousands of letter that they receive from their jail and prison customers, I realize that making the incarceration environment safer protects everyone.

In the United States, there’s two types of incarcerations: jail vs prison and federal vs state. The key difference between all prison systems is the size, location, and quantity of inmates and the crime rate in each area. Overpopulation has been an issue for a while mainly because for the safety for the inmates, the Three Strike Law, and also, society feeling that rehabilitation isn’t what they want for convicted felons. In the future, the system of corrections should decrease the overpopulation issue, for the budget plan, and safety of inmates.

I am doing this paper on electronic monitoring. I am doing this paper because I need a paper to write for you and this is the page I opened to in the book to get the idea. No, really because I believe that electronic monitoring is a terrific way to police probation and parolees when probation and parole officers are so severely overworked. By not having to check in on the offenders as much, because at any time we can hit a button and know exactly where they are, or be notified instantly when they are somewhere they shouldn’t be, it would be a lot easier on probation and parole officers.

Technology has given us the power to change society and the way society works. In chapter 3 of William G. Staples writing “Everyday Surveillance”, technology has not only given society the power to peer into the lives of others, but has also granted society new opportunities. With it begs the question, where have we as a society gone in the field of monitoring and surveillance? With the advent of monitoring and surveillance technology came with it new opportunities and alternate options that individuals, in this case “convicts”, could not have previously taken It is thanks to technology that house arrest is now an option for non-violent convicts, where in the past a prison sentence was the only option. .

Consistently, state and government jails are filled to limit with peaceful crooks. This puts weight on parole sheets to discharge lawbreakers who under typical circumstances would not be discharged because of the way of their violations. Each State 's Department of Corrections needs to spend a greater amount of citizens ' cash each year for jail upkeep, prison guards and jail social insurance. The issue of jail over populace can without much of a stretch be put under control with the execution of the new advancements as of now accessible for remote observing what 's more, radio recurrence finding frameworks. Electronic observing and house capture has turned into a reasonable different option for imprisonment, probation, and parole

In the United States, Imprisonment is one of the main forms of punishment for offenders who commit a felony offense. The United States has the highest number of offenders incarcerated in prion than any other country in the world. Both the federal and state prisons both have the same mission and that is to protect society by confining offenders in a controlled environment that are safe human, secure, cost efficient, and provide rehabilitation to offenders in self-improvement and educational opportunities and helping them become better law-abiding citizens. Prisons are operated at the Federal and State level and are operated at various different levels of security based on the offender’s crimes which can range from minimum security prisons to supermax facilities (De Maille, 2015)

When thinking of the prison system in the United States, one fact that may be shocking is that it ranks as one of the highest per capita inmate populations in the world. The United States has seen an ever growing prison population over the last few decades. The results of prison inmate inflation are causing more strains than facilities can handle. The increasing number of inmates is a result of the reluctance to help rehabilitate inmates and develop their ability to function and add value to society.

One may believe that the more offenders that are put in jail, the safer our country will be. This however, is not entirely true as there is little connection between improved public safety and an increase in incarceration (Vera Institute, pg. 9). We should consider those making up the population of our prisons. First there are those who are mentally ill, who are lacking proper treatment as they spend their time in prison. 72% of all mentally ill offenders in jail have a substance abuse disorder (Vera Institute, pg. 12). How can these individuals receive the help they need, if they are being locked away in facilities that won’t provide the appropriate assistance? Another portion of the jail population consists of those who are not actually guilty of committing a crime. Nevertheless, they sit in jail awaiting their trial date if not granted, or unable to afford, bail. This is spending funds on people who do not belong in jail, as there is not always an expedient way to prove their innocence. This also may lead to innocent people accepting plea bargains as they away their trial date, which leads to a whole separate set of problems. Beyond raising the jail population, holding innocent people in prison can have negative impacts on their family, and social bonds. Not being able to work while in prison hinders the financial flow to the family, and get put added stress on the remaining

A correctional facility is a prison where criminals are being held restricted. The main two institutions are jails and prisons. The type of offense and how much time he/she is given will determine whether they will be in a jail for a short period of time or sent to prison for a long period of time. Many type of criminals are held in these institutions like murders, kidnappers, drug dealers and rapists. The prison population is dramatically increasing every day and it’s becoming a major concern in the United States. The overpopulation is endangering the lives of inmates and correctional officers. There are too many inmates and not enough prison guards which is a major issue. For example, a huge fight breaks out and it’s five inmates versus another five inmates and there’s on three prison guards on duty. Three prison guards trying to break up a fight between ten inmates is a major issue cause more than likely those guards will end up hurt or possibly killed. Many criminals in the prison system are there because of the war on drugs. According to the data released January 25, 2014 by the Federal Bureau of Prisons 50% of criminals make up the prison population due to drug offenses. The next largest category is immigration and those criminals make up 10% of the population. These two categories make up over 60% of the prison population consisting of nonviolent crimes. Since the number of people convicted of drug offenses increased so has the prison population.

The American Criminal Justice System held 2.3 million people in 7,000 prisons during 2017. America also holds the world’s highest incarceration rate, even housing 22% of all prisoners (Rauby and Wagner). Due to this many persons being charged and incarcerated, prisons and jails in the United States are getting full and even spilling into overcrowded. Many federal housings have too many people to function correctly and safely. There are multiple approaches the American Criminal Justice System is capable of taking in order to alleviate the pressure on prisons and jails, making them safer and more efficient for both the prisoners and those who staff them.

Biometric access control systems are so far the best type of access control we have today. The reasoning for this is because it relies on identifying unique human characteristics such as fingerprints, retinas, hands, etc. Since these characteristics are unique to each person like DNA, biometric access control systems are considered far better than the other systems I have listed.
