Rehabilitation In Angola

I can still remember the scene where a mentally ill person was taken out of his cell by force; I can still remember the image in which a prisoner was forced to take medicine; I can still remember how poor the conditions were for the inmates to live the cells in the prison. I can

To begin, the documentary uses a good amount of emotional appeal by telling touching stories. One of the stories that may tug at many people’s hearts is the story about another young teenager that was sent to the same adult prison Alonza was sent to. There that young teenager committed suicide, which then raised concerns about housing juveniles in adult prisons. Alonza later even wonders if he could be next. In turn, he reaches out to doctors at the jail through a letter and signs it “A young man crying out for help.” Later in the video it is even revealed that

Conditions inside the prison were no better. For starters, many of the prisoners were those who had committed menial crimes. Worse so, many were war heroes, back from Vietnam who couldn’t find a job and thus had to go about other illegal means to stay alive, and thus were thrown in prison. Attica prison in particular was famous at the time among prisoners for having the most horrific treatment of their inmates. Guards did whatever they could both legally and illegally to keep their prisoners in perpetual fear and discomfort. The prisoners were not just treated like children, but as animals. The one thing prisoners treasure the most is their contact with the outside world. It keeps them sane and allows them to remain in some type of contact both with their families as well as with what is going on outside the prison walls. But, guards did whatever

Rehabilitation, what is rehabilitation? Rehabilitation is the action of restoring someone to a normal life through training and therapy after incarcerated, addiction or illness. Rehabilitation can be used for an offender who has committed a crime and is incarcerated, someone who is struggling with addiction or illness. Rehabilitation was originated in 1779 by the British Government as part of the Penitentiary Act, rehabilitation would consist of punishment along with treatment for the offenders. (Benjamin Disraeli 2004). The purpose of rehabilitation is to treat the offender in order for the offender to return to society and be able to contribute, rehabilitation is also a punishment for breaking a law.

The Arkansas prison system scandal changed Arkansas in many ways, even though the many efforts off cover ups through testimony’s the truth behind the scandal prevailed. In these five sources you learn that the reputation off Arkansas was much more important than the inmates who even as convicted felons where the victim in this scandal. There are many different opinions on why the Arkansas prison famers where in such poor condition but the evidence only proves one theory, that no one was to be trusted inside the facility from super attendant to warden to inmate’s no one was to be trusted. In such places were the inmates where giving power and the warden was bringing in contraband, and these are just a simple examples of just how unjust they

In my experience of reading the text, Behind a Convicts Eyes, I have learned many things about prison life. It has in fact changed my perception of what I thought prison life was like. Prison is in fact a fight for survival, and the weaker inmates will be used and abused by the stronger population. To clarify what I mean, many of the weaker prisoners are sometimes expected to pay for protection from other inmates, or they join prison gangs to be safe. According to the text, it would appear that the inmates actually have more control over their existence than I would have thought that they do. When I use this term, I mean it in the sense that the inmates use the system to their advantage, or at

The film The Farm: Life Inside Angola Prison give intell on how the maximum-security prison in Louisiana was ran. The two directors Liz Garbus and Jonathan Stack explore the old plantation farm that was turned into a prison. Most of the inmates in this facility were of an African American descendants. This film gives a broad overview of how this facility is ran and the programs that it offers its inmates. In the film the prison looks like a first generation facility.

Throughout history crime has always presented itself as well as punishment for these crimes. In time there have been several ways to physically, emotionally, and psychologically punish a human being. However, being a part of the Guantanamo Bay era the increasing use of solitary confinement has offered itself to be one of the best ways to reprimand criminals as well as hostages. A troubling movement in the American prison system is the escalating use of sustained and consistent forms of cruel solitary confinement also known as supermax prisons which are used to confine prisoners that the government labels as dangerous. A documentary film, as well as several informative resources, will be used to uncover the truths behind this form of punishment.

The principal theme of the movie remains around the life of a prisoner, Andy, and tells us about the various circumstances and adversities faced by him and how does he manage to go through all this. The movie skillfully integrates the representation of harsh realities of the prison world and remains successful to a large extent in conveying the intended message to the viewer as to how brutal and harsh a prisoner’s life can be.

First of all i think that the way that the prisoners of the Stanford County prison were treated was inhumane. I think the they (prisoners) decided to revolt because they were sick and tired of the way they were being treated. It is unbelievable that human beings would treat other humans like trash. Watching this was very difficult and heart breaking. They prisoners I believe refused to follow the rules because there were really no set of rules in place that at least instructed them on what to do and not to do. This left the guards to pretty much do whatever they pleased. When John Wayne one of the prison guards began to treat the prisoners badly, i believe the other guards did not ask him to stop because they did not care. The guards enjoyed what John was doing to the prisoners.

I think the most important part related the the prison, is when the two prisons are described and compared. This is because prison, at the moment, is Diego’s home. He’s gotten used to the sounds from the people in the cells beside him, the head counts, and all the other little things different from his true home, his home at heart. The farm, that’s his home at heart, the place where his family worked, and that’s where he wants to get back to. But we don’t really get told anything about that home, so the prison will have to do. And both prisons, his mother’s and father’s get described. They are neighbouring prisons yet they sound so different.

Rehabilitation in the community can either be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how the person looking at it, some people may say its good because they get to get out of jail faster and get help in trying to get a job and maintain that job. And some people can say its bad because they get out of jail to soon and risk the possibility of him or her going back to there ways and committing another crime because the temptation is still there. Through out this essay I will be talking about how the rehabilitation can benefit the community and how it can also put people in danger even though the offender is being monitored by a care taker.

Throughout the years, many processes have been created to form the rehabilitation process of criminal justice. This process has reached out to many offenders and their families by allowing them to return to the community as changed individuals. Rehabilitation has many different process, but most, if not all have been proven successful in returning offenders to the community as changed individuals.

The author put a large amount of emotion into the story. She tries to comprehend each situation that the woman of the prison are going through, and how they will one day have to explain to their children why they were gone from their lives for so long. The author wants her nephew to be a good citizen, and to believe that he lives in a country with a fair legal system. She wants him to have faith that he lives in a good country, a country that watches over it’s most vulnerable citizens: its women and children. The only problem is that she doesn’t even believe that
