Gianna Bianca 04/04/2013 Protecting the Children with Jessica’s Law Every two minutes in the United States, someone is sexually abused. 44% of these victims are under the age of 18 years old (CDC). These statistics are bold, but even worse – these crimes can be prevented. Crimes against children that involve sexual abuse can be prevented in one giant way: by keeping the predators in prison there they belong. This seems like a no brainer, however some judges and members of senate disagree that these illicit crimes are punishable by lengthy sentences and strict court conditions.
The treatment of women and men that are inmates to the state’s prison are treated in many different ways. Some officers go by the rules and regulations that their state puts forth and some don’t when it comes to how to treat an inmate. This report will discuss the ethical issues/treatment of prisoners from a personal view (being that I was a correctional officer for two years) and having family members as inmates. A person would believe that every jail within the same state would run their correction facilities in the same way but they actually don’t. Every ethical theory has its own unique way on looking into issues.
ASBO's The act also introduced an ASBO (Anti-Social Behaviour Order). An ASBO is given to people who commit Anti-Social Behaviour numerous times. The UK class Anti-Social Behaviour that will cause/likely to cause alarm, harassment or distress to any member of the public. Sex Offenders Order The Sex Offenders Order allows police officers to go to the Magistrates Court and get an order to be made against somebody, only if he or she shows reasonable evidence that the offender will put members of public at risk.

These types of clients need a different type of program or plan from a case manager. They need to develop skill to deal with what has happened in their lives to bring them to their current state in that moment in time. Within the corrections, it is believed that all need the assistance. All inmates or clients in this type of setting have wound up here in some sort of manner that needs to be evaluated and corrected. The idea behind corrections facilities is to take a criminal and rehabilitate them so that they may reenter society a better person and as one that may become a contributor to society instead of taking from society.
Two statutes enacted during the 104th Congress have had a significant effect on the federal court's treatment of prisoners who seek to bring claims against prison officials. Congress passed the Prison Litigation Reform Act (PLRA) of 1995, Pub. L. 104-134, 110 Stat. 1321, to place restrictions on the ability of federal courts when they consider claims by prisoners.

With the prison population on the rise this task has become harder than ever. What are prisoner’s ethical rights and furthermore; what are the ethical responsibilities of prison officials? Although prisoners have lost certain rights associated with freedom, they still maintain the right to safe and humane conditions while incarcerated. This means they have a right to their safety, decent food, clothing, housing and medical care. Prison officials on the other hand, have the responsibility of either staffing or having on call doctors, practitioners and psychiatrist, who can address and properly attend to the medical needs of treatment of those on individuals confined within the prison system.
Problems and Effects on Prisoners After Reintegration Robert Williamson CJUS_ 200 Professor Katherine Pang There are often many problems and effects with the reintegration of prisoners into the free world. Some of the common issues and effects some prisoners face after incarceration is finding jobs, institutionalization, recidivism, and their social ability. Reintegration of prisoners is a public safety issue to some, but must be addressed because we need to find a way to resolve the effects so the people coming out can have a better life and a more positive influence. The effects can range from physical to phycological. Over the course this study we will break down the different effects and try to figure out why our nation has increased prison inmates fourfold.
The process of rehabilitation will begin in prison and will continue once the inmate is released into society. Rehabilitation started in the late 18th century in which rehabilitation occurred in a barbaric way in torture chambers and dungeons (“Prison Rehabilitation”, n.d.). Rehabilitation in the past was focused on reforming the individual and not focused on preventing the inmates from breaking the law again. Rehabilitation has since changed and focused on preventing the individual from committing a crime against laws and also on teaching these inmates how to act properly in society. Rehabilitation is now the focus of our corrections system and every day new things are being done to ensure the system is getting better and improving the inmates as a whole.
Homosexuals and Blood Donation Introduction For the past 3 decades, homosexual men, or MSM’s (men who have sex with men), have been banned from donating blood in a number of countries. This has been an ongoing issue since the 1980’s AIDS epidemic, when it was “determined” that homosexuals were more likely to be affected. This is not necessarily true, and is a very prominent form of bigotry in today’s society. Homosexuality does not define a person, therefore people who live their lives in this way should not be denied the same opportunities as everyone else. Why They Are Not Allowed Since the 1980’s, gay men have been banned from donating blood due to the belief that they are more likely to be affected by HIV/ AIDS.
