There is much faulty science behind claims that men are biologically inclined to rape. “Telling us that it [rape] is natural tells us nothing except that it is found in nature” (Alcock 101). Rape is the act of sexual abuse that happens when a female refuses sexual intercourse with a male and he forces it upon her. Anyone can be raped at anytime. If a man has respect for women he is less likely to rape.
Together these factors have dramatically altered the nature of day-today prison life and inmate culture. Today’s prison life is much better than past times. I think it’s barbaric that prisons used to torture their prisoners, and they had no say in anything. Although today’s prisoners still don’t have much of a say in what occurs inside prison, they know they won’t get tortured like prisoners in the past. I’ve always heard that during the Industrial Revolution, many prisoners were used as free labor, but I never realized how much money the prisons actually made from this kind of labor.
The YCJA should not be amended by Bill C-10, to be tougher on youth offenders because jail doesn’t work, to incarcerate youth because it is costly, and because the YCJA’s founding principles would deteriorate if Bill C-10 were to be passed. Jail does not work and never has. The Youth Criminal Justice Act was implemented to replace the Young Offenders Act to keep youth out of jail but is now being amended to put more youth in jail. This concept is flawed because, to reiterate, jail does not work. What works is providing services for mentally ill patients, rehabilitating prisoners, and reintegrating newly released prisoners into society.
First and foremost, people with mental disorders are not meant to be in prison. Prison life by itself already adds a level of anxiety and depression to every inmate. Once you add any type of mental illness, you are creating a bomb just waiting to explode. Correctional Officers are not trained to handle people with mental illness. They do not understand that people with mental disorders have special needs which prisons cannot provide.
Writer John J. Macionis explains the misconceptions about rape. Date Rape: Exposing Dangerous Myths, he stresses around citizens of the United States are victims to a sexual attack and never report the incident. John J. Macionis writes about how woman misinterpret the understandings of what rape is even classified, and if it is even is important to discuss to the authorities. Rape is considered forced without the consent. Many women experience this gruesome incident and have hard times after the condition and don’t know who to speak out to, but John J. Macionis helps to clarify the common myths that misconceive the meanings of rape.
This is a feeling of control and authority and power in jail. This is a sick presentation and awful test for a person to experience but it often happens all the time in jail and we can’t do anything about it. The psychosomatic reason of why kidnapping, rape, and murder occurs in jail is because when they were youngsters, they never belonged in group activities with their family or even worse, their parents left them as orphans in a young age. Many of them were sexually abused or physically abused as children and they want some pay back as adults. Now they feel superior and powerful by doing these horrible things to other jailbirds to feel fitted and recognize, and
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.
For instance, you called the police because your husband just assaulted you. This example was used because the mindset that most couples have is that the police should never be called in order to address a domestic violence situation; thus, the victim of this type of violence suffers on a consistent basis. Law-enforcement involvement with minorities is rarely voluntary. Most minorities only call the police as a last resort; therefore, when the police are called the situation is usually out of control. The main reason presented for minority citizens not calling for police assistance is the belief that everyone involved in the situation will be arrested.
To deny him this was wrong. Some people think that staying in detention centres is a vacation, because the government pays for everything, but how would they know, have they been or stayed inside one? People make assumptions on what they see in the media, but the media also doesn’t know the full story, they just know what the officials tell them and want them to see. Living in detention centres is NOT some holiday, it is harsh and a horrible place to stay. Detention centres is not a place where the people are treated with respect and kindness, it is a place where people, especially teenagers get sexually assaulted, given the wrong medication and can even die.
The American prison system fails because it does not deter crime, it does not rehabilitate criminals, and it does not serve justice for the victims, and does not promote civilized social interaction by reducing the amount of offenders. In many cases, it does the opposite. If it were in fact, doing what is proposes to do; there would not be such a staggering amount of persons incarcerated within cells. How could we change our prisons system to make it both more effective and less explosive? We would need to begin by recognizing the difference between punishment and restraint.
