Role Of Government In Prisons

To help insure that all inmates are where they are assigned, there are counts and inspections at least two times per day. This occurs to ensure inmates are accounted for, jail rules are being followed, and cleanliness and hygiene are being followed, to ensure safety and security of the facility. Additional to counts and inspections, pod security checks are done at least once an hour

Article I of the Confederation is about the Legislative Branch, its purpose is to make laws that would help our country.

ABS Financial Solutions is a provider of worldwide financial services to credit unions and their members. In order to gain the trust of the credit unions and their members that ABS wants to service, they need to follow certain U.S. Federal and State Compliance laws. These laws are put into place to protect the privacy, integrity, and confidentiality of individuals. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) says that financial institutions must protect any and all consumer information that is collected by the institution. Any company that offers their customers financial products and/or services; loans, financial advice, investment advice, or insurance need to explain to their customers how private and confidential information is shared.

Government will take the risk of any regulation applied but there are still the responsibility of the cone overlap so that makes this programs complicated. One of the things that United State proud of is their military capabilities that unmatched. Democratic Party is well understand the role of each element in the American military ranging from marine, soldier, pilot, navy and lifeguard who have devoted themselves to the state. Attempts to always supplement and improve weapons or equipment within the military as well as care for troops and their families to keep them safe and secure.

The former director (Morris Thigpen) of the National Institute of Corrections said, “It is imperative that all inmates placed in Supermax be fully aware of how they can work their way out” (Schmalleger & Smykla, 2015, p. 458). Remembering these words, I would first ensure all supermax inmates fully understood the behaviors that were acceptable and those that were not. Respect between inmates and staff would be the foundation of the behavior expected. It’s imperative these inmates respect the officers and other staff working in these facilities.

The judicial system is very important in the administration of justice for any society. Functions of the system are clearly stipulated and defended by the constitution of any nation. For a judge to pass a ruling on a suspect, the trial has to go through several stages before a final ruling is arrived at. Thus, one would believe the judgments made are considered fair making the judicial system a defender of justice and fairness.

Authority is defined as “the capacity of one member to issue order to others…to direct or regulate the behaviour of other members by invoking rights that are vested in his or her role” (DeLamater, J., et al, 2015, p. 332). Obedience to authority is more likely to transpire when the authority figure is wearing a uniform and threatens with punishments (DeLamater, J., et al, 2015). In Cool Hand Luke, the prison guards and ‘the Captain’ have authority over the inmates. Although the inmates and prison guards both wear a uniform, the difference in clothing allows for the roles to be easily determined and understood. The convicts must ask permission from the boss’ to complete any ordinary task, “wipin’ off here, boss?”

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.

In order for Social Workers to efficiently carry out their duties they must be fully aware of the law that governs the land since every country has its own set of laws and each is unique to that country. Within a Social Worker profession confidentiality is an ethical concept and a legal duty of the social worker to keep client information private. There is absolute confidentiality, that is client’s disclosure are not shared with anyone and relative confidentiality is the information is shared with the client permission or through legal requirement, for example child abuse (Shebib 2003). In this scenario, Mrs. X is married to Mr. X and disclosures information to the Social Worker of cases abuse, marital neglect and the fear of losing her kids. It is of importance for Mrs X to know the laws that governs marriage, divorce, custody, maintenance and domestic violence.

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

Kimberly, it is easy to see what side of the fence you are on. Nonetheless you raised some very real concerns and your discussion caused me to mull over the government role when it comes to private prisons. I’m sure the government has a hand in the way that private prisons are being maintained but how much. I would be highly surprised if private prisons were given free reign because the government in some sort of way regulates all businesses and private prisons are no exceptions. According to the National Criminal Justice Reference Service (NCJRS) the government does have a hand in how private prisons are operated and nearly all facilities received some oversight from the contracting agency (McDonald & Patten, 2004).

Paroling authorities play a vital role in correctional systems. They make most of the decisions concerning the time of releasing a number of criminals from prison. They set the required conditions of release. They also make responses concerning violations of supervision during the post release period of offenders. The paroling authorities in correctional facilities play a similar role to the courts.

The most important thing that the bureaucracy does is implement policy. Congress and the President make the policies and laws, but they have someone else (the bureaucracy) to implement them. However, they also make policy by rule-making (process of defining rules or standards that apply uniformly to classes of individuals, events, and activities). Also, according to Jillson (2016), "Congress passes laws that authorize government programs, the bureaucracy then writes specific rules that define how the program will be administered." So, when the bureaucracy makes rules you have to obey them because they have the force of law.

The community needs to be aware of the issues as well since they

The national and state government both have power which the people can appoint to represent them. It imposes laws to keep corruption and illegal behavior from those that can hurt citizens. Under the constitution we have checks and balances. It distributes power onto the Executive, Judicial, and Legislative so no one is more powerful than the other. Our government has created laws to keep peace and order within its borders.
