the ones at the bottem of this system were the ones who had acted against the law. They would not go to prison, however they would lose certain rights and have to stay in their village. They would lose certain religious rights and become isolated from the community. They could also be fined. They would have to provide a guarantor for this.
This loss of privilege still pertains to Britain today and although our prisons provide the incapacitation of offenders, social isolation in Celtic times had similar impact with loss of property, profession, religious rites and confinement to the tribal territory suffering their dishonour within their community. “Righting the wrong” in terms of retribution and restoration are keys principles of justice today as they were for the Celts. Monetary fines were imposed requiring a guarantor of equal or higher social standing. Non-payment of fines today can lead to imprisonment and likewise in Celtic law isolation from the tribe, albeit not in a prison, had comparable effect on the offender. A benefit of such fines was in the compensation of victims, a scheme still employed today through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority.
Once a person has served the sentence for his or her crime they should be allowed to become productive members of society. However, there should be rules and requirements put into place for the individuals, it should not disenfranchise them completely. Speaking from experience it was hard being released from the Penal System. Gash 2 A lot of companies will not hire felons, different apartment complexes will not allow felons to rent housing nor will certain parts of the government give assistance regardless of the rehabilitations that has been acquired. Being released to Charleston, S.C., in 2008; I was given the right to vote.
The first thing could be getting tickets which would hurt me in the pocket book which I couldn’t afford and second result could be jail/prison. I go there to see my husband because he has not obey the law before and I don’t want to live the way he has to so I obey the laws. We also obey laws because we all benefit from them. Protection of life and property, security of peace, welfare, etc. I don’t steal because I don’t want to be stolen.
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.
Module 2 Crime and Order Maintenance in Celtic and Roman Britain Like most societies the Celts had strong beliefs regarding rights, privileges, and social duties which would be measured by social casting. For those committing a minor crime the Celts felt rehabilitation within the family was a way to rectify an offender, however if the offence was great enough the offender could find themselves in receipt of a fine that would be determined by social standing,wealth and profession. In the case of a fine a guarantor would be enlisted to insure that the fine would be paid,this would be a person of the same or higher social caste of the offender and the offenders rights to practice their profession or tend and own their own land could be revoked.
THE WAYS THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM IS USED IN OUR SOCIETY TODAY. Nikita Adams Everest University Criminal Justice is a system use to deter crime or to keep it from occurring by the use of incarceration or other forms of punishment or rehabilitation. There are many ways to deter crime through the probation system which allows certain conditions to be set by the court or through other institutions as incarceration where a person will be incarcerated until bond has been set by a judge that allows them to be released until a trial date is set. (www.study of laws.com) Criminal Justice is the system of law enforcement, the bar, the judiciary, corrections, and probation that is directly involved in the apprehension, prosecution; defense, sentencing, incarceration and supervision of those suspected of or charged with criminal offenses. Criminal Justice is to protect individuals from crimes by controlling them.
England and France were amongst the first two countries to design penitentiaries in response to the growing criticism where extreme public violence as the means of a deterrence of a crime. Hence, the basis of a penitentiary was that it was the punishment within the detention itself and the “penitentiary ideal” itself was the extreme isolation of the criminals from society, their daily lives supervised extensively and physical labor was compulsive (Browne, 1995). So based on these penitentiary ideals, hardened criminals need to be separated from others to keep it safer, and give others the chance to reform and put back into society. Penitentiaries were established with a certain goal in mind. There were several reasons behind this.
Mandatory Minimum Sentences Mandatory minimum sentencing laws have been among the more popular crime-fighting measures of recent years. Mandatory minimum sentence refers to the fixed sentence that a judge is forced to deliver to an individual convicted of a crime, neglecting the culpability and other mitigating factors involved in the crime. They are those sentences, which a judicial officer is required to impose no matter what the circumstances of the offence. In other words, the judicial officer has no discretion to impose a higher or lower sentence depending upon the nature of the crime. For example, people convicted of certain crimes must be punished with at least a minimum number of years in prison.
Their differences are the number of options for rehabilitation and treatment and the types of facilities that could benefit the system. The American system was designed by that of England but has more to offer the criminal that wants to be rehabilitated and released back into the public to live his or her life. The plan behind both systems is to keep the citizens of the communities safe and still treat the prisoner in a humane manner. These systems might be a world apart, but in all actuality, they are closer than many people believe in the aspect that they are very similar. If only the two systems could merge and become one great system, the crime rates just might go
