Classical philosophers like Cesare Beccaria argue that cruelty is inextricably interwoven with the glowing side of liberalism. As a result, cruelty could survive and prosper within the reformed and liberalized states. These philosophers argued that cruelty persisted within the economic and judicial sphere. Beccaria was of the opinion that punishment had to be removed from the hands of the church completely, and left to the secular legislators. Moreover, Beccaria states that punishments are atrocious, and their public and solemn cruelty can only be reduced by enhancing their usefulness and consistency with the law (Baruchello, 2004). On the other hand, modern philosophers claim that cruelty can be opposed through conservatism, instead of liberalism. For instance, Kekes is convicted that liberalism can cause cruelty. Modern philosophers argue that punishment is essential to the flourishing of the society (Baruchello, 2004).

This article explains how the justice system addresses the issue of substance abuse and criminal offenders. Many feel that the answer to this problem is more severe punishment, however, this does not solve the addiction problem. Many times it was believed that our prisons release inmates who are have not received treatment while incarcerated, or do not have the follow up treatment that is needed to reduce recidivism. Currently inmates undergo treatment before and after incarceration have shown a reduction in criminal behavior.

Capital punishment is one of the most controversial and talked-about topics in the United States today. It is an issue that is not explicitly mentioned in our constitution, so states have been left to interpret the law. As of April 2017, 32 states in the US legally allow the death penalty. Of the 18 states that have banned it, the most recent was Maryland in 2013. The topic is so controversial that the Supreme Court has gotten involved many times, deciding on more cases that have to do with capital punishment than most other subjects. People disagree on many aspects of the death penalty for several different reasons like moral and religious differences. When considering capital punishment, people’s opinions

The general topic addressed in this article is the experiment of the study of prisoners and Guards in a simulated prison at Stanford University.

Thesis: It is very important for the sake of Americans tax dollars that we change the way that prisons are run and increase the productivity of inmates so when they are released from jail they are ready to be a productive member in society and have the confidence to achieve new goals.

Thesis Statement : Capital Punishment is a very controversial topic around the globe. I believe that it does more harm than good and breeds violence in society.

Additionally, in an attempt to foster an increase in professionalism within the correctional community, care and consideration must be taken with the care and housing of inmates both privately operated and those operated by some branch of the government. “The quality of prisons has improved from the past, but there continue to be too many inhumane new prisons. New construction does not always result in a prison conductive to humane incarceration” (Bartollas,

Capital punishment, also known as the death penalty, and the debate about its abolition is the largest point of the essay written by Steve Earle, titled "A Death in Texas”. This form of punishment should be abolished for 3 reasons; First, It does not seem to have a direct effect on deterring murder rates, It has negative effects on society, and is inconsistent with American ideals.

According to Correctional Administration: Integrating Theory and Practice by Richard P. Seiter, substantive issues are characterized as those that are a piece of the learning particular to the training and profession of corrections. These issues may incorporate discovery approaches to extend spending dollars without decreasing open security, how to manage packed penitentiaries, and how to oversee detainees who are serving to a great degree of long terms. Correctional administrators must manage grouping and hazardous issues to which prisoners ought to be regulated within the community instead of a correctional facility. Difficulties may likewise incorporate the assortment of sexual orientation, age, and programs needs in a given correctional

Within juvenile detention facilities, staff place children in isolation for varying periods of time, ranging from hours to months. The reasons staff place children in solitary confinement cells vary widely from one facility to the next, and even from one staff to another at the same facility. Employees often place a youth in isolation because it is the easiest and fastest way to ensure facility security. Some rationales for the practice are: safety, security, disciplinary, administrative, protective and medical. Using this method to control a youth’s behavior or for a disciplinary reason is very common. Experts conclude this practice is both widespread and underreported. Staff use solitary confinement as a security management tool; until more effective solutions are available and implemented, youth will continue to experience substantial negative repercussions of being confined in a solitary cell.

Advocates for solitary confinement state that is beneficial in protecting prisoners from violence. Solitary confinement gives guards the option to separate violent prisoners from the rest of the population to ensure protection for themselves and the rest of the prisoners. This is the official’s duty to ensure that the prisoners are not in risk of harm and if they are they can be subject to liability. Furthermore, limiting or monitoring violent prisoner’s interaction with other prisoners limits the chance of violence occurring. The purpose of administrative segregation is to ensure the safe of other prisoners and the guards. This creates a method of moderation for the prison to allow them to manage their prisoners, safely. On the other side, it may be viewed as counterproductive as reducing the use of administrative segregation, it shows that it has reduced the violence among inmates. Also with the use of isolation, rates of recidivism seem to be increasing once those prisoners have been released compared to other prisoner from the general population. The opposite views outlines the debate of solitary confinement and its questionable continuation throughout US prison

There are many subjects in the book “The Essentials of Criminal Justice.” Through the fourteen chapters, the chapter I will be discussing is chapter eleven. Chapter eleven talks about the history of correctional institutions, jails, prisons, and alternate correctional institutions. In this paper, I will be discussing only part of chapter eleven. It will be discussing the history of the correctional Institutions which includes the following: the history of the correctional institutions, the origin of corrections in the United States, the development of prisons, the New York and Pennsylvania systems, and the comparisons of the 19th and 20th century correction systems.

Ever since the outset of the American Constitution, capital punishment has existed as a crime sentence in the United States. However, in recent decades, this topic has become highly controversial, as many states have dictated against the death penalty. Although states with this position on capital punishment are increasing, some states, such as Texas, have continued to edict this practice in their provinces. In the State of Texas, the sentence to death upon a person should not be permitted due to the fact it can wrongly convict a person, its court trial is highly expensive, and it brings forth an unjust treatment.

[Thesis and Preview] Life after prison affects all realms of a community. Through the process of leaving prison, to jobs, and to living conditions, I hope we have a better understanding on life after incarceration from this speech.
