The Resurrection Of Former Prisons Across The World

New Life Prison is a private prison located in an unincorporated area of Brentwood, CA New Life prison is a dormitory setting and a minimum security prison for level one and two male inmate population of 500. New Life Prison is too focused on lowering the recidivism rate in CA. New Life prison is a new private prison and receives funding from grants and donations. New Life mission is to focus on the level one and two inmate’s within the state prison system. New Life mission is to help these individuals move on passed the crime they have committed and began to live their life again. In 2004 Folsom state prison was able to move their level one and two inmates to a minimum security facility (Department of Correction 2015). Most of these inmates

America loves to claim they`re the beacon of freedom throughout the world and yet ironically, it has the highest prison population in the world. According the ACLU, America, which only makes up 5% of the world’s populace, holds nearly 25% of the world’s inmates, surpassing Russia. This doesn`t add up when compared to the statistics. If crime rate is at a low, why is the prison population so high? What is contributing to the mass incarceration across the nation? Well, with the evidence presented, it would appear that the private sector is the main contributor to this new American pandemic and more specifically, the privatization of prisons

The growing Prison Industrial Complex is an intricate web of profit-maximizing business endeavors at the expense of the livelihood of people of color in the continental United States and abroad. With immigration from Mexico and Latin America increasing each year and definitions of who is “legal” becoming more constricting as the Obama administration cracking down on illegal border crossing, undocumented immigrants are the fastest growing prison population.

She argues that the reforms suggested by the conservative party would cause unintended harm to the people they are attempting to help. The author forms her argument by analyzing the prison reforms initiative put forth by republican politicians. Bruenig concludes that these attempts to bring needed modification to the criminal justice system have not improved the lives of disadvantaged people. By focusing on cutting prison costs the author states, the conservative’s suggestion for reform will fail to provide support to community programs that help people stay out of prison. This would make the reform meaningless. It would also rid communities of prevention programs.

The numbers do not lie, the amount of profit the two prisons made was astonishing. I do understand these are large industries and act as a business, but is $361 million being used for these two giant prisons? I doubt it, when we are struggling with overcrowding, underfunding, as well as rehab programs, the question I have is what are they doing with all this money?

The American Prison framework is coming up short us as a country. As exhibited by Brain Kincade the American restorative facilites framework is monstrous. The American Prison is enormous to the point that it's reviewed turnover of $74 million obscurations the GDP of 133 countries. The greater part of it needs to do with the way the American true blue structure works and how it has changed over the traverse of the most recent 40 years. The country detain masses has quadrupled to 2.2 million in which it has amplified all through the last a30 years. The American Prison is higher for blacks and Latinos more than whites. The miserable part is that numerous people in these therapeutic workplaces are moms, fathers, sisters, kinfolk, young women and

“It is said that no one truly knows a nation until one has been inside its jails. A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its lowest ones” (Nelson Mandela, 1994). The United States of America has more people behind bars than any other country on the planet. The prisons are at over double capacity. It cost a lot of money to house prisoners each year. A large number of the prisoners are there because of drug related offenses. There are prisoners who have been sent to prison for life for marijuana related drug offenses. Many prisoners have been exonerated after spending many years behind bars due to the corruption in our legal system. 32 States in United States of

An individual that has been isolated from society can find it hard to learn resocialization skills. My example is this. When someone commits a horrific crime and is sent to prison for life but can get out in 25 years. We take them to put them in cuffs. Put them in a room that is no larger than two twin sized beds. We tell them when to eat what they can read. What visitors they get to see. We isolate them from society. And then expect them to be able to function when they get out. Don’t get me wrong some programs within the prison is supposed to get them ready for the outside, but the statistics are that nine times out of ten they will be back in, in less than a year. In some of the camps like UCI that have behavior inmates. The Inmates have

The study of recidivism amongst women in prison is important because most research focuses on the male population. The reasons for the “revolving door” phenomenon are different for women; therefore, their treatment should be more gender focused and specific to their needs. Judging by the rates at which women recidivate, you could assume that somewhere along the way the system has failed them. What role does drug use, motherhood, mental health, physical, sexual, and mental abuse play in the recidivism of female inmates?

With each year that passes, news stories of crime come and go and continue to thrill the media, but one constant is where the offenders will go if or after they have been convicted: prison. As the years go on, it seems that the prison and criminal justice system are capturing more and more lives and increasing the capacity of ever overcrowding prisons. In Michigan, the rise is especially prevalent due to the presence of the Cooper Street Correctional Facility, which currently houses minimum security male inmates, and the infamous Prison of Southern Michigan, which was once the largest walled prison in the world. “Do Not Pick Up Hitchhikers” signs are an ever present reminder of the community impacted in more than one way.

With the population of the United States prisons growing every day we need to evaluate if they are doing any good. Personally, I believe that we need to keep our prison system, but we need to take steps in reforming them rather than abolish them altogether. The United States has the highest number of incarcerated people than any other country in the world. We must sit down and look at other countries and see what they are doing different than the United States. In this paper, we will first look at what the prison system in America is like and what we can do to improve upon our prison system. Then, we will also look at the Finland prison systems and see if we can learn anything from them, since they have one of the lowest incarceration and crime rate in the world. We will then look at reforming our prison system or abolishing it. Finally, we will investigate other punishment alternatives other than the prison system that we could use.

As we have begun to touch upon, as it stands the UK and largely global stance on substance use to date, has been one of control, punishment and persecution. It is, therefore, inevitable that this will have enormous and some would argue, catastrophic effects on our prison system, consequently, it is crucial that at this early stage of the paper that this is approached. The Penal Reform International (PRI), an independent non-governmental organisation that aims to develop and promote fairer, more effective and proportionate responses to criminal justice problems worldwide, recently released the report Global Prison Trends 2015: Drugs and Imprisonment (PRI, 2015). The Aim of the report was to describe global trends in imprisonment and substance

How many inmates were isolated from their communities when they had committed a crime or when they got released from the prisons? And how many effective programs can be helpful for them?Many posts-release prisoners have experienced recidivism and social stigmas due to lack of programs. In fact, restorative justice for people in prison has played a big role in our correctional systems in many different ways.Restorative justice in prison shapes our prisoner 's morals and abilities by providing a suitable technique. Although punishment may play a part in restorative justice techniques, the central focus remains on relationships between the affected parties, and healing reached through a deliberative process guided by those affected parties.( Tsui,2014). For instance, many inmates have attended into reentry programs and educational orientations when they finished their time in prison. These programs cost less money for the government, and inmates can be reintegrated into societies easily. Many post-release prisoners have avoided recidivism after these effective programs taught them the value of lives. This study will examine the importance of restorative justice in prison, which is essential for our correctional facilities. Numerous studies have been done recently which focused on this restorative justice.For example, restorative justice answers the justice question in a different way.(Toews,p.5,2006).

Recidivism is one of the most fundamental concepts in criminal justice. It refers to a person's relapse into criminal behavior, often after the person receives sanctions or undergoes intervention for a previous crime. Recidivism is measured by criminal acts that resulted in rearrests, reconviction or return to prison with or without a new sentence during a three-year period following the prisoner's release (Durose et al, 2014). The main focus is to make sure these prisoners do not get back out into society and repeat their same offenses and harm others that are out in the society. Rates of recidivism reflect the degree to which released inmates have been rehabilitated and the role correctional programs play in reintegrating prisoners into society.

On Thursday I took my personal field trip around campus to observe the permanent sculptures as well as the ones on tour. I really enjoyed looking at both but I personally felt that I enjoyed the permanent ones better and that is what I will write about in this paper. The permanent sculptures resemble students and faculty at Western Michigan University. In contrast, the sculptures on tour did not relate so much to the students or campus as much but they did relate to the state of Michigan. While I was observing the sculptures, I did have one favorite and that the was Dunes because it painted an accurate illustration in my head when I was observing it. I decided to take my personal field trip in the morning instead of in the afternoon
