1 Pro of Parole The parole system is a just system within the United States of America. It is a system where an offender can earn early release off of good behavior or time served. The system is blind as well is justice; from time to time offenders are released for overcrowding in prisons. I am for parole. I believe that offenders deserve a chance to rehabilitate themselves and parole provides that opportunity.
Troy Unger 6 Oct. 2010 Capital Punishment Prisons in the United States have some major flaws. The prison system is not adequate in keeping the crime rate low. The United States prisons system needs a drastic overhaul very soon; it needs to revert back in time and stop giving prisoners modern conveniences. The prison system also needs to hand out harsher punishment to inmates and other felons alike. Capital punishment should be a tool used on many serious felons instead of life in jail.
Utilitarianism is the perception that those ethical guidelines should be options created by a community to advertise the pleasure of its members. In Feb 2010, the House of Delegates accepted a set of Legal Rights Specifically on Treatments for Prisoners. The phrase “prison” indicates a correctional service having mainly prisoners sentenced to a phrase of at least one year. In the conditions of a “prisoner” indicates any individual incarcerated in a correctional service. The discussion could be is that criminals are being handled well, but some say that they are not being handled like criminals.
Criminals are sent to prison to pay for their crimes and to be rehabilitated. The reality is that prison only makes them better criminals. Many would believe that prison is a place where inmates are reformed. Unfortunately that is untrue. Across the United States penitentiaries inmates are literally forced to join prison gangs.
I think the primary goal should be incapacitation. Basically, no one really end up in prison on a first offense, unless it's a particularly big one. Most prisoners have many less severe priors on their record. They've demonstrated the willingness to victimize innocent folks again and again. For that, they need to be removed from society for the society's good.
A state prison is run by the state for ceimes outlawed in those states. Though some prison’s are run by private companies that contract with the state. Both the federal and state prisons do have different levels for people convicted of different things for example maximum, medium and minimum security. Which ever one you are sent to is determined by how dangerous they think you are. Though generally at the same level of security the deferal prison is probably somewhat safer because they usually aren’t as crowded and the staff is better paid and may have more training but that isnt a hard and fast rule.
The interdiction and law enforcement strategy is to help other governments seize illegal narcotics before they reach America. (Perl, 2006) “The Department of State funds anti-narcotics law enforcement training programs for foreign personnel from more than 70 countries.”(Perl, 2006) And a key tool for drug dealers is the extradition to the United States to be prosecuted. International Cooperation; with this the Department of State works with other nations to control the growing, production and the trafficking of drugs. This doesn’t have to be a part of the main cocaine countries; this can include countries that do not have huge drug trafficking issues like South American has. (Perl, 2006) With the help of many other countries, the war on drug trafficking can significantly be more successful with seizing trafficked drugs and help eradicate the drug
I do believe we should not coddle them with taxpayer treatment programs that a lot of them enter and exit repeatedly. But, on the other hand, if those treatment centers do offer some sort of success, then it a good thing to offer them in hopes of the offenders not depending on drugs and having to commit crimes to get those drugs thus reducing crime, the courts, jails, and prison population. Drug treatment programs are less expensive than prisons and more effective at helping people turn their lives around. Many of the programs available to inmates are provided by organizations like AA and NA, which send volunteers into the prisons. Most of the volunteers are previous offenders who have changed their lives and now want to help other change their life.

Probation CJS 230 October 31, 2010 Lisa Nash Probation Probation as a sentence, this is where criminals do not go to prison, they either serve a short time in a city or county jail, then go back out on the streets with the understanding that they have to report in to a probation offices on a set schedule. After a criminal’s arrest, processed, and gone to court for their crime, the judge sentences them to a short jail term and or X amount of time either either supervised or unsupervised probation. After the judge sentences the criminal to probation, the criminal begins a long journey of classes and repayment plans to pay for his or her injustices, along with a payment to the probation officer themselves.
