The Warden Reflection

This warden was haunting Dan in his dreams, during the day and night. “It wasn’t enough that the warden was in his head; now he was in his body too”, page 251. The warden and the asylum begin taking over Dan’s life, which

When we got to the prison, I was surprised to see multiple buildings all around a center courtyard. The inmates were dressed in green or gray and were busy doing various activities. The first thing that really swept me off my feet was when we visited the inmates near the gym in the knitting room. The things they were making required so much talent, which is something I had never considered prisoners to have, mostly because I had never thought about it. I was even more shocked by the talent of the brick layers and the high success rate that is found in the inmates that

In the beginning of the story, the prisoners are

The warden also manages the farms multimillion-dollar enterprises. He claims to make the prison more like a normal city but bars and gates, men on horses with guns is nothing close to a normal city. This naiveté, if you want to call it that, completely ignores the many men wrongly imprisoned or inhumanely sentenced to death or life in prison. If the wardens silence instead of advocating for a fair justice system is what associates him with the clergymen in Jacob’s book. He knows everything that goes on in his prison just as those on the outside had a chance to look in he has a front row

The camp set-up is a flawed system because it has been developed to impose strict regulations to restrict the prisoners and take away the freedoms they once had, but at the same time it promotes corruption and theft for both the inmates and the guards. The sole purpose of the underhanded deceit is so that the parties involved can have an easier life. Every man knows that their chances of making it to the end of their term is quite slim. Therefore to make up it they resort to less than honest methods. In the end It is survival of the fittest, that becomes the only way for the men to benefit in any little way when they are detained. Ironically rules and regulations are not closely associated with these prison/ labor camps. Instead they breed

Reflection is a major factor in "developing self-awareness" to improve services provided to everyone around me, this is to develop my own understanding in realising the good and bad made previously. Moving forward with a better understanding, as well as rectifying the mistake whilst recognizing the good points, (Horton-Deutsch and Sherwood, 2008).

The Outsiders novel written by S.E. Hinton continues to be A literary influence on the lives of many teens. This novel has been translated into 30 languages, and people find personal connection with either the plot or the characters themselves. I connected to this novel differently than most this book takes place on the lower end of the hierarchy and I sort of grew up in this type area I didn't live in such a bad neighborhood but I live very close to one and my dad works in the bad areas of church Hill and I went along with him there was a lot of dangerous stuff in a lot of places and things a kid my age shouldn’t of seen. “You get hardened in jail. I don't want that to happen to you. It happened to me. . .” This quote was said by Dally to Johnny on their way back to the church. This quote was important because it was the first and only time that he got emotional, he was trying to convince Johnny not to go to jail.

During this time, Atticus, who is a lawyer, takes on a very difficult case. He is defending Tom Robinson, who is an African American man being charged with raping a white woman named Mayella Ewell. At the trial, Jem and Scout try to find seats, but they are all taken. Reverend Sykes, the reverend of the African American church, runs into Scout and Jem and tells them “There’s not a seat downstairs. Do you all reckon it’ll be alright if you all came to the balcony with me” (186)? The children happily take his offer and travel to the balcony where “Four negroes rose and gave them their front-row seats” (186). As time passes, Jem becomes very engaged in the trial. Scout says that “Jem seemed to be having a quiet fit. He was pounding the balcony rail softly, and once he whispered, “We’ve got him” (202). Jem is very confident that they have won the case, and thinks that Tom Robinson will not be convicted to be guilty. Later in the book, when they take a break from the trial, Jem excitingly goes up to Atticus and says “We’ve won, haven’t we?... You think they’ll acquit him that fast” (236)? Atticus starts to answer but abruptly stops and leaves. At this part, Atticus reacts towards Jem’s excitement and optimism. He knows that the odds of Tom Robinson not being guilty is very slim, but does not want Jem to be crushed. In conclusion, Jem does not fully comprehend the fact that the town is segregated and that Atticus will most likely not win the case.

How do you punish a person who is already being punished? This is the problem the penal system faces. On the surface solitary confinement seems like the perfect solution. Put into place to protect prison workers and other inmates from being harmed by dangerous and unruly prisoners, the side effects of solitary confinement can often be far worse and destructive to prison rehabilitation than the benefits of such a system. The abuse and overuse of this form of punishment has had severe repercussions on a social and moral level. Social exclusion, rehabilitation in the form of punishment, and prison workers' lack of control in many maximum security prisons all contribute to the detrimental effects that solitary, as it is colloquially known,

Your book “The Outs” was very inspirational and view changing for me. Caled’s second personality Crimes to me represents negativity from other people and from the world. The book connected with me when Caleb had to fight with Crimes to gain control back. To me it showed how people have to fight away negativity and fight away people that try and hold you back. Caled was fighting for what he thought was right and I see that as a way to show people that they need to fight for what I think is right and no matter what never give up. Same for Kitzi, she shows me that even if you have a disability nothing can keep you from doing what you want and that no matter what happens or what you go through you can be whatever you want. Be with whoever you

For the last six weeks in both mental and acute setting, I have reflected on events that I had met in each week. Now, I am going to identify essential personal learning outcomes from those events and will include personal awareness of strengths and weaknesses. Among the different models of reflection, I will use the Gibbs model of reflection which entails six stages such as description, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion, action plan.

I arrived to meet a client in the county jail this week that has been in and out of jail two times since his children were detained in October 2015 when the children were one and four years old. In the past, the client was released on a Thursday morning then returned to jail Friday afternoon due to public intoxication. Approximately two months later the client was released on a Tuesday morning and incarcerated on Thursday night again due to public intoxication. In addition, the client has also had the opportunity to participate in a work release program recently in which he was revoked from after approximately a month in the program due to several positive drug screens for synthetic marijuana during the time in the program. In the past 11 months,

At exactly 8 am, the warden came marching down the hall, violently bashing his baton off every surface he could with malicious

This semester I learned a lot about writing in English 151. It has been a roller coaster ride with these essays for me this semester. I learned step by step how to write a good essay and how to have your readers be engaged in what you’re trying to tell them. Each essay I did has taught me something valuable I can take to the next level of English. I feel as if as the semester went by I did not take my writing that seriously and that reflected in my grades I received in each essay. It made me a better student and writer and it will reflect next semester. In this essay, I will reflect on what I learned throughout this semester that you should apply in your writing when you begin English 151.
