South Dakota State Penitentiary At The University Of Sioux Falls

The CCI penitentiary in South Carolina is one of thousands of prisons where their intentions are to make a profit, and to handicap the African- American male. That’s the more controversial topic, not the horrendous penitentiary conditions. The concern some Americans have are ,why so many blacks being placed in prisons. American prisons are not constructed to rehabilitate an inmate. Prisons are essential for our society, but they have become vast business, for private owners. Of course, killers, and any individual that commits a heinous crime should be placed in jail. Many people sympathize with the person who is trying to prove for his family by selling drugs, to make ends meet. They should have lighter punishments in the eyes of many. The laws are systematize to where the black male never achieves his full potential as a father, provider, and a positive representative to society. The educational system in black communities is making the circumstances unfavorable, and the legal system is repeating the sequence of events. America was not intended for Africans to become America civilians.

Giving full credit to restricting the Mississippi River as the culprit for loss of wetlands is not accurate. The booming oil and gas exploration of the 1970’s and 1980’s merits a name on the marquee as well. The pipelines and canals used to transport the resources to the outside world placed a great deal of stress on the fragile wetlands. Erosion from the barges in and out of the marshes as well as the salt water allowed into the fresh water, providing a precarious habitat for fresh water species – flora and fauna alike. Plants provide root systems to hold soil in place. Fish and fowl provide an economy for the area. Enter

The community event that I attended was the Racine Correctional Institution, which is a facility in which individuals who have committed a crime are forcibly placed in custody for the purposes of confinement and positive changes. Before entering into the Racine Correctional Institution, we passed through the metal detector that is used for security screening to detect concealed metal weapons on an individual's body. Some of the ladies in our group, including me, set the device off because our undergarments had metal wire in them. Therefore, we were told to remove our undergarments and go through the metal detector again. This shows that the security at the prison is very strict to prevent harm or threat. After going through the security, a

On February 9, 2015, the American corrections class and I went on a tour to the Georgia State Prison at Reidsville. Georgia State Prison at Reidsville is the fundamental greatest security office in the condition of Georgia. Found on Georgia Highway 147 in unincorporated Tattnall County, outside of Reidsville, It is a piece of the Georgia Department of Corrections. The current fantastic structural planning incorporated a strip by Julian Harris titled Rehabilitation portraying exchanges and occupations. Many redesigns were made. The mission of the prison was to “Ensure public safety by effectively operating a safe and secure facility while housing medium general population, mental health and problematic male adult offenders incarcerated in the Georgia prison system”.

Social process theories view deviant and criminal behaviors as evolving mechanisms learned through societal interaction. Social development theories view deviant and criminal behaviors as part of a maturational process. The process involves numerous perspectives including biological, psychological, and social, that all occur simultaneously as the individual progresses through life. In this paper the author will examine what different social process’s there are and how they support Pelican Bay State Prison: War Zone. The author will also provide different social issues associated with this prison system. In addition, the author will provide, if any, possible ramifications for social policy change?

Visiting the Prairie du Chien Correctional Facility was a truly eye opening experience. I could go on all day about the things that I saw, heard, and learned. Immediately following the experience, I called my mom to tell her all about it. She really doesn’t understand what is going on in the system, which is frustrating for me, so I talked to my Grandpa instead, as he seems to know a little more and be more open to new information and ideas.

One of America’s greatest conservation achievements is the Wilderness Act of 1964. Fifty-two years later, this act has a legacy to withhold. A legacy that meant something in 1964 and remains the same today: to protect unspoiled land. Even though, through this act millions of acres have been conserved, the key word is continue. That is why America should pass laws to preserve the wilderness before developers spoil them.

While reviewing the site plan, city staff noticed that the proposed barn was within 75 feet of Smith’s 7-acre wetland. A State of Minnesota statute, adopted in 1985, required government municipalities to establish “a minimum 50 foot buffer as the standard for protecting water quality” in state wetlands. Lilliput enacted this policy, but in 1990 the city increased the size of the buffer to 150 feet from a surface wetland. This was based upon City Council concerns that Lilliput’s heavy farming and cattle ranching could pose a threat to the preservation of the wetlands.

The plan had stalled due to partisan conflicts and various stakeholders not agreeing to any potential plan. The stakeholders agreed to a policy and proceed to initiate restoration of the Everglades. This was possible only through the hard work of our agencies’ scientists, and through input from Florida’s farmers and environmental groups (Scott, 2013). Agreement on the objectives was not obtained, but the policy itself was agreed upon. “It provides what [environmental groups] wanted, which is a stable source of funding. And it creates certainty for us, “said Gaston Cantens, vice president for sugar producer Florida Crystals. “We reached a level of consensus” (Reid,

STEUBEN COUNTY (WENY) - For the second year in a row the Steuben County Jail is taking advantage of its courtyard by turning it into a giant garden. It's part of the county's inmate garden program. "It's therapeutic. It's very relaxing and it's a learning experience and helps you gain knowledge about planting and what you can and can't plant around here in the soils," explains Steuben County Jail inmate, Jeffrey Duell.

This paper will present the history of the Stanford University Pow Wow; discuss the actual dynamics and activities of the Pow Wow; show what happens behind the scenes; and conclude with implications and suggestions as to how Stanford University can augment the ways they have been of help regarding the Pow Wow.

The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe currently fights to save its only water source from natural gas and oil contamination. This troubling current event has a somewhat forgotten historical analogue where very similar themes presented themselves. The Kinzua Dam Controversy, which took place in the 1950’s and early 1960’s, resulted in the displacement of over 600 Seneca Indian families and the acquisition of a large tract of traditional Seneca Land for dam building. Additionally, the acquisition of Seneca land represented a breach of “The Treaty with the Six Nations of 1794,” which explicated prevented such action by the US Government. The dam and its construction, which primarily benefitted Pittsburg, inspired a heated discourse concerning the ethics of native relocation.

The next controversy among North Dakota farmers is the demolition of shelterbelts. For many farmers the shelterbelts are vital to

In the spring of 2016, an environmental movement began in North Dakota that today, is making history. In Cannonball, North Dakota, Native Americans have gathered to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline; resulting in one the largest gatherings of Native Americans from multiple tribes the United States has witnessed in over a century (Northcott, 2016). One tribe in particular, the North Dakota Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, have been leading and organizing the protest against the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. The Standing Rock reservation is located in the Sioux and Ziebach counties within the North Dakota and South Dakota border; the Sioux people are the primary tribe of the area. According to Trymaine Lee of MSNBC, the counties are a part of the top 10 poorest counties in the country, and that it has a history with water distresses. In the early 1960s, five dams located at Lake Oahe in Standing Rock gave way and flooded 200,000+ acres, destroying nearly all natural resources and wildlife at the river bottom, as well as destroying towns within the reservation and sacred ancestral lands and sites. This was a devastating tragedy for the people of Standing Rock, and it seems that history is repeating itself with the proposed construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. The pipeline poses many hazardous threats, and these threats outweigh any economic benefit the proponents may promise. It threatens the environment, water supplies, historical land, and only adds to the

The Great White North and Land of 10,000 Lakes, is going to face a temporary increase in spending to better our environment. Mark Dayton proposed an increase to the DNR’s budget in order to help maintain the wildlife, lakes, and other DNR technologies for the outdoors of Minnesota. It is 100% true and will pass in the next two years. Most residents and nonresidents, who this will effect, will eventually benefit and contribute to the fishing, hunting, and recreation use in the state. Everyone concerned with this increasing of licensing and other expenses won't be bothered because all it will do is make their favorite industry even greater. Finally, the friendships and the goodwill of the state will come in the future when our children view the effects of the DNR budget increase. As I quote before and will quote my entire life, “Temporary inconvenience for permanent
