Prison Reentry And Recidivism

Modernity now looks at the soul of the prisoner, the aim of punishment now is to study the crime and transform the criminal’s behaviour so that the criminal gets a chance to live a normal life in society again. Modernity is no longer only bothered with questions like who committed the crime, but more importantly what were the factors behind the crime? Was he of sound mind, social background? The modern penal system needs a whole set of assessing, diagnostic, prognostic, normative judgements (p-19) concerning the criminal to be done by experts (magistrates, psychiatric experts, prison officials…) to determine what would be the normal conditions for the crime. The Judge in the modern system certainly does more than judge.

There’s a multitude of things that need to be repaired in our system, and prison is one of them. Prison reform is an important issue because we need to take care of everyone and with the way we treat criminals, we do not see them as equal. We need to assess illegal acts correctly instead of trying to put people in jail for the rest of their lives. We also need to work more on how we try to rehabilitate people. Instead of barring convicts off from the rest of us, we need to teach them how to integrate, so they can live better lives than they did

The reason was that in spite of the fact that prison was the symbol of the monarchy arbitrariness they found that prison and imprisonment could be a very good means or a very good tool in order to not only to punish but to reform prisoners and inmates and this reform this change in the mind that manifests itself in the individuals behavior and so on. How could they imagine they can obtain it? Through disciplinary techniques. And where did they find these disciplinary techniques?

The massive overpopulation of prisons in the United States led to the idea that capitalism could help to reduce burdens and responsibilities of running prisons on the government. Creators of private prisons originally sold the idea that opening up prisons to the free market would bring in competition to drive down prices. In addition to lowering the burden on the government and taxpayers, the new Private run prison would implement real world job training as well as opportunities allowing those incarcerated to become contributing members of society upon release. While the initial salesman of private prison painted a beautiful

The term "Prison Industrial Complex" (PIC) is used to express the rapid expansion of the United States inmate population. The prison industrial complex (PIC) is an expression used to describe the connection between the interests of government and industry that use surveillance, policing, and imprisonment the resolution to economic, social and political problems. The P.I.C helps to maintain the authority of people who get their power through racial, economic, social and other privileges. Power is collected and maintained through the PIC in many ways, including creating mass media images that reinforce the stereotypes associated with people of color, less fortunate people, homosexual people, immigrants, youth, elderly and other oppressed communities. These stereotypes imply that those who are associated with these groups of society are criminals, corrupt, delinquent, deviant, etc.

Selective incapacitation targets a specific type of offender, the type that is generally dangerous and more likely to continue offending outside of prison. Their prison sentences may be lengthier because of their unstable characteristics. There is a problem with selective incapacitation though; discrimination between races and ethnic minorities happen because they are more commonly found to be in the selective incapacitation approach. The other more expansionist approach is general incapacitation where the broad use of imprisonment is utilized “to achieve large gains in crime prevention by locking away even minor offenders” (Alarid & Reichel, 2017, p. 20). However, with this approach, the problem posed is overpredicting which results in avoidable long sentences for a population that would generally not

The future of criminal justice seems cloudy at best in the current environment our society. When taking into account that future, the policy makers in criminal justice must be able to adapt and overcome to be able to make enduring policies that will carry on throughout what appears to be a difficult future. Currently, there are policies being put in place such as body cams for officers due to the “rash” of police violence that has occurred in the last year or so. It is policies such as this that are going to shape our future and the future of our children. There is far too much political and public motivations being injected into the criminal justice policy making process.

The existing efforts of criminal justice reform from international, regional and national level should include pretrial rights of accused person in their framework and address how accused person can access legal aid in pretrial stages. International and regional human rights instruments should bring law enforcer especial Police, investigators and judiciary in addressing access to legal aid in pretrial stages. Law enforcers are very important in making access to legal aid to accused person at earliest stages of criminal process possible because it is in the hands of these institutions pretrial rights of the accused persons are violated. The information gathered during pretrial stage shapes and influences the entire proceeding and the results of the case. 4.2.2 Specific Recommendation for

Radicalization is the process in which individuals hope for a serious change within society. Several thoughts come to my mind when I hear radicalization of U. S prisoners. For several years it has been stated that radicalization of prisoners are a threat to citizen of the United State; I am a strong believer that radicalization can be positive or negative. Radicalization has shown not to always be negative. A person’s vulnerability and religion are both linked to radicalization.

The problem does not seem to be slowing down either. Congress continually passes new criminal offenses. The same conduct passes through the floor on a regular basis, but comes out with more guidelines on the previous laws. From 2000 to 2007. Congress enacted 452 new criminal offenses.

In the article, Unwinding Mass Incarceration by Stefan Lobuglio and Anne Piehl, they argue that unwinding the mass incarceration “well neither be cheap nor easy, and to be done responsibly will require a new infrastructure of coordinated community-based facilities and services that can meet evidence-based incarceration needs while also ensuring public safety.” Hence, their argument is clean-cut with evidence in the article to back up their argument of unwinding the mass incarceration. Similarly, a solid fill of a concluding statement upon the unwinding of the mass incarceration as stated in the article, “requires much more than stopping current practices or reversing course by mass commutations and early release programs.” Subsequently, from this article, there are numerous interesting key points, and perspective of unwinding the mass incarceration.

As the democratic view adheres to the nation’s longstanding history of immigration, the Republican party does not believe immigrants should be granted the same rights as any american citizen. They believe that these illegal immigrants bring with them drugs and crime as well as take jobs that should be held by US citizens, calling for their mass deportation. With crime at its lowest in the last 25 years, both the democratic party and republican party seek to further this societal improvement. To them, the best method of controlling crime is to administer tougher punishments for those who commit violent crimes as well as leaving the death penalty as an option for the most heinous offences.
