Prosecutors can sometimes get away with misconduct as it is extremely difficult to prove that misconduct had actually taken place. Often times the prosecutor is viewed as being on the side of justice and as a result it is difficult for the defendant (who is accused of a crime) to turn the tide against the prosecution. Although during the trial both the defense as well as the judge may report a prosecutor for misconduct, this rarely happens as these reports are often dismissed. This is because as long as the prosecutions misconduct does not affect the outcome of the case, then it is tolerated, meaning that a prosecutor can harass a witness or the defendant so long as the harassment did not have anything to do with the outcome of the trial. The fact that the prosecutor works in the interests of the state can be seen as the underlying factor here.
Now most would not think this would be a form of torture, but it brings about great results. After being left alone in a cell for a number of days, prisoners become increasingly stressed and agitated about their situation, making them ready to cry out their confession. The next forms of interrogation that are used are the slap and grab techniques. These do not seem like very effective methods, but they scare prisoners and bring about the desired results. Under these slap and grab techniques extreme physical violence against prisoners and ‘torture’ are deemed illegal under national and international law, including the Geneva Convention, less physical techniques are often used by interrogators.
If you commit a terrible crime such as being a sexual predator/child molester or something of that nature the shame will be with you the rest of your life and it’s going to be hard overlooking it because of the laws we have placed. In jail the inmates will even look down on you and treat you like scum they will even threaten your life. The shame for somebody doesn’t stop after the crime has been forgotten about or once they are out of jail. They have to register themselves as a sexual offender you can’t just move and try to leave it behind you. With the internet we have websites that allow us to see if sex offenders live near us it will give you there exact address.
If you decide you want to go through that path than it is what it is and don’t be * * surprise of the other criminals you have to deal with. The choices you made prove that you do not * * want to follow rules in our society so; your consequences are that you have to pay for those terrible * * choices. One model of a prison was the eastern state model. This was a model that was more about * * having people in a controlled setting and using the space in a humane way. In I really think this model * * is very effective and should be used more often.
This sentencing mechanism has certainly contributed to the increase in prison population. It has also placed harsher punishments that often times do not fit with the crime. Repeat offenders are getting sentenced to long prison terms for low priority crimes. “And if structured sentencing was designed to provide consistency in the type of sentences handed down for specific crimes, the habitual felon law does exactly the opposite, as the offender’s status as a “habitual felon” determines the sentence more so than the severity of the most recent felony”
The demographic group most affected by the war on drugs and the incarceration boom are the juveniles. Youth who turn to drugs and alcohol abuse are faced with harsh reality at YSI Facilities, another branch of the private prison industry. Rather than being charged with fines appropriate to their offenses and being sent to rehabilitation or other forms of drug treatment, non-violent offenders are locked away with long, harsh sentences. This profit-driven war on drugs and other substance abuse ruins the lives of the inmates, turning them into harder criminals by exposing them to such environments. According to a project run by The Huffington Post, 40% of juvenile offenders sent to private prisons on account of drug related crimes are arrested and convicted of harsher crimes in less than a year from their release (Kirkham).
Not only a less expensive procedure it is also just as effective in reducing the testosterone and other parts associating to the libido entirely. Are we really going to put the concern of these pedophiles above the concern of our children? Is it not our right and our children's right to play in the streets and not have to worry about their safety? Is it not the right of every child to be allowed justice for these action caused to them? The reality is however that most molesters and most rapes happen inside a household- not only outside.
Introduction to Criminal Justice 06/18/2015 Week 9 Capstone Analysis I do believe that probation can be a good thing when it is done correctly. There are good and bad aspects of people being placed on probation instead of receiving jail time. One good thing is that the person is still being punished for the crime they committed, but not at the expense of taxpayers. There are many people who are currently incarcerated, who could be on probation instead if there was enough money to do so. The bad thing about probation, is that most people who are on it, take it as a joke.
REHABILITATION VERSES INCARCERATION Rehabilitation should be viewed as more key than incarceration itself. People who are convicted of crimes should be allowed to heal and better themselves. Many of those people have serious addictions and issues that need to be addressed. In jail however, those issues will only worsen or fester. When the prisoner is released, they may be very angry about the lack of attention they recieved, and become a repeat offender.
That is wrong in every way and goes against our given rights. It is also interesting to think that these inmates are incarcerated for crimes, yet the rape crimes the guards commit on them are probably worse than what the inmate is even there for. Our prison system has helped make torture seem like a normal, even routine part of American
