Right then I was watching the camera in the garage as the overhead door was lowering, and the Tahoe was in its path. At that point I had tried to push the stop button and found out that it doesn’t work, when at the same time Officer Argo heard the motor and
Probationers who have committed any of the above mentioned crimes enter HOPE through a warning hearing. (Wadsworth and T. Scott, 2011) Participants are often tested for alcohol and drug use on a random basis. If a participant is suspected of violation, within 72 hours they attend a hearing. Once there is a confirmation of the violation, the offender serves an immediate short-term jail sentence. When the offender is released, he/she returns to the HOPE program.
Research suggest that the cost for home confinement is approximately 1,130 per year for probation and 2,190 for parole. Incarceration is approximately 18,000 per inmate and 43,750 used to build cells (Electronic Monitoring in the Criminal Justice System, n.d.).

The United States hands out longer sentences than most other countries do for similar crimes. A first time drug offense in a federal court in the United States would receive five to ten years mandatory sentence. Around the world in other countries of democracy, the same first time offense would receive at most, six months in jail. Judges in the United States are prevented from using their discretion, since these crimes carry a mandatory sentence. Another example would be that the United States gives an average burglary sentence around sixteen months, but Canada gives a sentence of five months, and in England people get about seven months.
Attorney General Eric Holder says that prisons should only be to punish, deter and rehabilitate, not for the pedi crimes that people are in prison for now. Attorney General Eric Holder then talks about school to prison pipe line. He claims that it starts with reducing the crime seen by young people.
The 2004 Cannabis Youth Treatment (CYT) trial, which included 600teens, found that over the course of a year, marijuana use dropped 25% in teens in both group therapy and family therapy, no matter how severe their behavioral problems were. CYT's success may be due to the fact that while its participants had varying degrees of behavioral difficulties, they did not differ significantly in terms of substance use — the trial excluded anyone who had used any drug other than marijuana for 13 or more days in the previous three months. That factor alone may account for the across-the-board benefits, but in most teen rehab centers outside of research settings, patients continue to be lumped together with little regard for the severity of their drug
SUBJECT: 10th Year Anniversary of PREA –Not a Cause to Celebrate… Dear Friends, We are contacting you to assist us with outreach with the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA). Ten years ago this week, President Bush signed the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) into law, legislation to end sexual violence behind bars. This decade anniversary is not cause to celebrate. Governors will have to certify compliance with the PREA by this year and many states are not in compliance with this law. During the last decade, the lack of urgency in implementing this law has resulted in nearly 1,000,000 youth being at risk of sexual victimization in adult jails and prisons.
