Most of the inmate have to wait until their sentences is done before they are released from jail because of the nature of their crime or if they were fighting in jail to cause more time to be added to their stay in jail. Now I think that the system is set up just fine and can do its job as long as the system is not overloaded from all of the criminals release too early so as to overwhelm the probation officers. We can make the system work for the people this long I think it will keep working. Community Corrections based on the principal of relieving jails of overcrowding, and to helping the community with projects to complete in the and around the community’s. It is labor for their community and to use the criminal for the purpose to help stop recidivism.
Some jails already have work for the inmates to do, but more jails should have jobs for the inmates. Some inmates have families that they would like to take care of while they are incarcerated, a job will help them in helping their families. The various problems in jail are medical issues, riots, gangs, and financial problems. It is hard for people to collect any compassion for the two million criminals serving time in the over populated prisons and jails. Half of the prisoners in jail and prison are there
Florida and California to this day still make license plates. The goals of the prison were to instill good work habits, reduce idleness and enable repayment to society or victim. We also saw the birth of what is called a supermax prison, where the welfare of a prisoner can easily be overlooked. Over the years institutions have attempted to rehabilitate prisoners with new skills and give them a sense of self-worth, however this has slightly been a failure. Due to the overcrowding of prison, doors have become revolving for the inmate.
The director of the Department of Corrections is mandated (RSMo 589.040) to develop a program of treatment, education and rehabilitation for sexual assault offenders. By department policy, the successful completion of MOSOP is mandatory for a release prior to an inmate's sentence completion date. (Missouri Department of Corrections). They have also placed programs outside of the prison to help keep the offenders on track. The offenders who do not complete the program will have to serve their whole sentence, and not be let go before the release
Punishing people who commit crime is the job of the prosecution lawyer; they attempt to put the violators behind bars (Gardner, T. & Anderson, T., 2012). Rehabilitating those that have committed crimes is also the responsibility of the corrections. During their stay in the jails/prison, the violators can be subject to programs to help reform them to be productive citizens once they get out of jail/prison (Gardner, T. & Anderson, T.,
Corrections Trend Evaluation CJA/394 March 2012 Corrections Trend Evaluation The role of correctional systems or prison related facilities, programs, or services are to make society a safer place. Prisons are based on the idea that some people are so terribly evil that they do not need to be in with society and that they need to be cut off from the rest of society and closely monitored. What happens once a person is sent into a prison system then must be released back into society? Today we will take a look at what happens when people have been placed through the prison system and community corrections and the outcomes they make on these individuals. Throughout most of the twentieth century, the dominant philosophies have been incapacitation, deterrence, and retribution.
As time passes are prisons are becoming over crowded forcing are government to create new sentencing options to deal with this problem. Instead of sending convicted offenders to straight to prison the government has come up with the following options for judges to choose from that would fit the crime best; they are absolute discharge, conditional discharge, a fine, suspended sentence, probation, conditional sentence, imprisonment, and intermittent sentences. First of all before the judge make a choice on a particular sentencing option they need to consider whether the sentence would be in publics best interest, which is because the main reasons behind corrections and the criminal justice system is public safety, and the second thing they would need to consider is if the offender is given a community sentence is he going to re offend and if he does would it be a violent crime.
This would perhaps help their system with putting people that need to be in prison. With implementing the correctional system of the United States, they would not have to resort to imprisonment all the time. They could use other methods that would rehabilitate their offenders. Some of those methods could include community supervision, treatment programs. This would cut down on head count of their prison.
The importance of Re-entry and ex- prisoners reintegrating back into society became a critical issue among criminal law makers. They found out that releasing offenders back into society from prison without training and support systems had failed. The programs were eliminated, due to lack of public understanding and budget cuts. It was all about punishment not to change criminal behavior. The countries has debated over the idea of re-entry and have glimpsed the important of the challenges offenders have after prison, Re-entry Program was reintroduced, after the country has been educated about the program.
Prison is used to custody people who violate against the law inorder to deprivale their liberty as a kind of punishment. Separate the law violated citizens from the society to maintain social order, deter others potential offenders from criminal behaviour, and also ensecure the public safety. Nevertheless most of the prisoners will reintegerate to society, we should give them an opportunity to reform, however how to prevent them from recidivate is a pressing issue among the world. In US, it contain the world highest incarceration rate, 7,308,200 up to 2008 were sent to prisons and jails. The report of recidivism rate are vay, in the 2009 Florida prison recidivism study which study the prisoners who were released from 2001 to 2008 showed the
