Ricardo Scartozzi Jela Latinovich English Comp 104 30 October 2012 Drastic Measure for a Drastic Offense: Benefits and Disadvantages of Mandating Chemical Castration for Repeat Sex Offenders in the U.S Anyone with a reasonable conscience cringes at the thought of repeat violent sex offenders in the U.S consistently receiving miniscule prison sentences, even in comparison to first time non-violent drug offenders. They’ve committed an act that haunts and affects the victim’s psychology, esteem, and various other traits for the remainder of their lives. Is there truly a permanent solution to ensure the safety of potential victims? Some would agree; others not so much, but the one method both views agree would see at least evident results
Why could not America try this approach, rather than torturing the citizens? After being release from isolation, they are return to society, which they have no social interaction with, cognitively impaired, any psychological, or physiological help, makes it highly possible for them returning to crime. Gawande spoke with the state prison commissioner who has publicly defended long-term isolation uses states “He would remove most prisoners from long-term isolation if he could and provide programming for mental illness cause that’s what most of them have.” He further told Gawande that “he tried to remove an inmate from isolation; the Legislators called for him to be fired and threatened to withhold basic funding, even hostile stories appeared in tabloids. Isolation could be removed by the stroke of a pen, It is pointless for commissioner to act unlaterally without a change in public
Tonight he would overcome his fear of talking to the public about something he really cares deeply about. This topic was surprisingly unselfish in the reasons he was bringing it up as an issue. Dan has a problem with the ‘Three Strike’ law in California, stating that if you have obtained three felony accounts, violent or nonviolent, you will be sentenced to life imprisonment. The three strikes law in California, instituted in 1993, had the original purpose of taking career criminals off the streets, making out communities and our and streets more safe. However the real impact of the law was filling prisons with non-violent offenders for decades at a time.
Three Strikes revised Annqunette Williams March 18, 2013 I do support the proposed amendment to our Three Strikes Law, arguing that it will help protect the public from the small, hard core population of career criminals. I also think that it should be expanded the law has been the same for decades and, it hurt the people who are trying to change their life around but get caught in a bad situation. Proposition 184, the three strikes law, was imposed to sentence repeat criminals with harsher
They are a target, and a symbol of the war on terror. To the enemy, all they want is the American dead. The United States Military on the other hand does care. If you are gay in the Military you better hide it. Introduction The United States Military adopted the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," policy in 1993, this policy states personnel may be discharged for homosexual conduct but not simply for being gay.
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.
In this case, at a post-trial hearing, the judge found by a preponderance of the evidence that Cunningham's victim was particularly vulnerable and that his conduct was violent, making him a danger to the community. The judge then concluded that this aggravating evidence outweighed the fact that Cunningham had no criminal history, and sentenced Cunningham to the high term of 16 years. The California Court of Appeal affirmed. The California Supreme Court denied review because it had recently held, in People v. Black, that the DSL was constitutional under Blakely v. Washington. Cunningham asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case, and it agreed to do
What started out as a west coast fad is now a rapidly growing epidemic. The east coast is just now getting a taste of what has been known to west coast families for years. Greater chemical regulations need to be set so that the ingredients are not obtainable in common household items such as fertilizers, lithium batteries and cold medicines. According to his biography on the New York Times website, Mr. Tierney has a long history of attending schools and working on the east coast, not giving him a chance to ever experience the effects of the meth epidemic from the other side of the country’s point of view. When it eventually reaches him, his family, and friends I believe that he will eat his words.
I completely agree that we should help people who are addicted to substances, but giving them money to buy drugs isn’t helping them. If a welfare recipient is caught using drugs they should be given a chance to change their lives before being taken off of welfare. They should be given something to help them break their addiction. They should be watched very carefully and retested after two weeks of their conviction. If they are negative for drugs then they should still receive welfare, while still being watched and on probation for another year.
Well this law again that only accepts payment of medically necessary treatment from patients. This is appalling because the insurance company will define treatment that is medically necessary. Like my case I had the insurance card and I could not pay a doctor visit because I never knew which standard deem necessary by the insurance company for an emergency room visit. Example if one need a treatment and it is not consider a standard care the insurance company deny the care and save money. I realize that besides the government, insurance companies write their laws in the United States and get away with anything they want
