Why Are People In Jails

My writing proposal topic is based off the article “The Prisoner” written by the author Skip Hollandsworth. And published on Texas Monthly, created a masterful piece that had a distinct purpose and way of portraying a twelve-year-old killer. Hollandsworth goes on to explain Edwin growing up in poverty and around gang violence for most his juvenile life. Edwin grew up in one bedroom houses and run down apartments with his mother and multiple siblings. Edwin Degrow was arrested and given a forty-year sentence for killing a cab driver in an attempt to rob him. A then seventy-nine pound Edwin is now halfway through

Mass Incarceration is an important topic because it has a huge impact on the United States. Let alone the fact that the United States has the highest incarcerated population in the world with 716 out of 100,000 citizens behind bars. Another important topic is that a certain race and ethnicity are behind bars which are the African Americans and Latinos than whites. But African Americans are 1 in 3, Latinos are 1 in 6, and whites are 1 in 17 who will be in prison during their lifetime. A topic that is also important and affects the United States dramatically is the annual cost which is 81 billion. The main reason for people getting incarcerated is because of drugs, so 1 in 5 people are incarcerated for a drug offense. And

During WW1 we has 3 allies Britain, France, and Russia and there was 3 central powers Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire. Woodrow Wilson wanted to keep out of this was and the country was split on what to do about neutralist. President Wilson proposed a “Fourteen Points” peace plan for WW1. The US was officially considered a world power. WW1 originated in Europe and lasted from 28 July 1914 to 11 November 1918. The propaganda during WWI focused on Germany’s harsh treatment of Belgium, France and Britain. The German army was growing weak from influenza and was deprived of supplies and on September 1918 - one million American soldiers slowly pushed the Germans out of northeastern France.By the time November came around Germany

As a second semester freshman, I found English 102 to be one of my favorite classes. My professor Sally Benson, structured our class’s curriculum around issues in the prison system. More specifically juveniles in adult prisons, college classes for incarcerated individuals, and prison privatization. I found this quite interesting because every assignment we did directly correlated to these three issues. In the beginning of the semester, we, as a class, analyzed all three of these issues, to get a become well acquainted with each topic.

The topic you choose are the same as mine, but the one I disagree with is the three strike policy. When applying the three strike policy so broadly to all felonies conviction it just places a band aide on the systematic issue and creates another for the prison system. So much money is spent on incarceration, but less and less money is being allocated to rehabilitation. Some of society may feel it is not necessary to rehabilitate criminals, but they forget that these inmates will one day be release and if no form of rehabilitation is done, it will lead to continued recidivism.

Throughout the semester, we have been reading and exploring the internet on juvenile delinquents. We as a class have had many good questions to answer about the different ways juveniles are treated, and what the correct or incorrect treatment is for juveniles. We have written many papers and had many discussion on historical milestones, landmark cases, adult courts, juvenile courts, probation and parole, detention centers and juvenile training programs. This semester has really changed the way that I look at juvenile delinquents.

Is jail where only guilty people? No why you may ask I believe jail isn’t where only guilty people go because there are multiple cases where people were wrongly convicted for crimes they did not do. Take the case of Kevin Cooper for example in 1983 he was framed for the murder of a white family and their house guest. He was imprisoned for 30 years. The police were told by Josh Ryens the only survivor of the murders that the murders were 3 white or Latino men but the police didn’t listen they were convinced it was Cooper. Even though neighbors had say that three white men were at the scene and drove off in a similar station wagon to the one the family owned which was also stolen that night. A local woman named Diana Roper told the police that

The United states has a mass incarceration problem with 1 out of 4 of the total population being incarcerated. With the highest incarceration rate in America makes up five percent of the world's population but holds twenty-five percent of the world's prisoners.The rate of incarceration has increased greatly over the last 50 years and continues to grow .The prison systems have become obstreperous, expensive, and destructive to society. African Americans account for fifty six percent of the people incarcerated. The discrimination of black men in the justice system has escalated in the last 50 years causing mass incarceration, broken family systems with distrust of the government, and increased mental health problems in the black community.

Mass Incarceration is an important topic because it has a huge impact on the United States. The United States has the highest incarcerated population in the world, with 716 out of 100,000 citizens behind bars(Thompson). Another important topic is that a certain race and ethnicity are behind bars which are the African Americans and Latinos than whites. But African Americans are 1 in 3, Latinos are 1 in 6, and whites are 1 in 17 who will be in prison during their lifetime(Knafo). A topic that is also important and affects the United States dramatically is the annual cost which is 81 billion(Thompson). The main reason for people getting incarcerated is because of drugs, so 1 in 5 people are incarcerated for a drug offense. And most of these

There was a range of different topics that caught my attention especially the ones evolving domestic violence. I am interning at Next Door Solutions which is a domestic violence resource for survivors in San Jose. Although, I wanted to stray away from my norm so I have chosen to do it on banning solitary confinement on youth. Solitary confinement is used on adults and juvenile when the prisoner is considered a danger to themselves or others. Typically they are placed in solitary confinement when the inmate fights with others, gets an infraction, and is a form of punishment. Solitary confinement separates the prisoner from the general population and puts them in a cell by themselves and main purpose is for the prisoner to feel isolated. They

For my final project I chose to focus on Race and sentencing. The United States is about 5% of the world’s population but when it comes to world prisoners the Unites States is about 25%. In the United States African Americans are incarcerated 5 times more than whites in state prisons throughout the country and also 10 times more than whites in 5 states. In this paper I am going to research and study specific articles and studies that document the rate of incarceration for African Americans and Whites. This is not only a problem state by state sentencing but it is also problem for federal sentencing as well. Not only am I going to look at race and sentencing but I am going to also

Minimal sentence of 30 year with out parole, after 15 years of you shall be beaten with a cat of nine tails 30 lashes to match your sentence. We turn back the hand of time and the jail will only server you bread and water and you will get your rations every Sunday that should last you the week. Two months before you are set to be release from jail we remove your private. (because you used it for evil you shall not have it going forward.) Thus cutting down on you being a repeat offender.

Question: Discuss the history of the prison system in the United States. Be sure to identify the various stages that the American prison system has gone through. Also identify what problems were present with each stage as you see them.

In personalizing recommendation to support the future learning needs of learners, we used hybrid recommendation approach whereby recommendations are based collaborative filtering (learning interest of other community members) and content-based filtering (previous learning interest of individual learner). This section describes the procedure taken in predicting the future learning needs for each learner. Also, in this section we examined the long and short term implications of using long and short term learning data in predicting future gaps in the knowledge of learners.

Sweat was coming down my face, my heart felt like it was going to explode, the lump in my throat began to swell. Never had I come across a challenge that frightened me so much.
