Yet the law fails to distinguish between adolescents/children and adults when it comes to spending the rest of their lives in prison for crimes they have committed before their 18th birthday. Adolescents/children who break the law must be held accountable, however we cannot give up on the possibility that a still developing young person will reform. Justice and financial responsibility both demand a more thoughtful approach. When adolescents/children commit crimes, does he/she instantly become an adult? Or does he maintain some of his/her childhood, despite his/her actions?
Immediately after the assessment the clinician should create a suicide risk- reduction plan for the inmate’s future care to include information in mental health records, previous clinicians, family members or others who know the inmate. Documenting the inmate’s symptoms, stresses, and treatment responses can be an effective tool to monitor suicidal tendencies as well as inform future mental health professionals who be involved in the patient’s care (Rudd, Cukrowicz, & Bryan, 2008). There is a difference is assessing suicidal inmates and patients who are not incarcerated. Assessing inmates in prison for
Peer pressure worsens behavior. Came as a means of punishment look at the crimes that each other came at the facility and try to be the best and think it is cool. From her research she found that, When they are being released they are worst than as they came in, which can create a higher risk to them in society, and in so doing end up in prison as adults. Jennifer Gonnerman, in her essay makes the case that, “Tyron has become a penal colony for kids,” The kids feel isolated because of the distance, location and conditions and treatment receive at the juvenile center. “The moment the wire fence went up,” They are being treated as prisoners, not only because of peer pressure as Maia said but Jennifer confirms it that the treatment receive in the center are likely a cause of them returning
The Stanford Prison Experiment Alan Vu California State University, Long Beach The Stanford Prison Experiment The Stanford Prison Experiment is a very thought-provoking topic discussed in various classes. Professor and psychologist Philip Zimbardo conducted this experiment through Stanford University. Twenty-four men were randomly selected to participate in a simulated prison environment and were given roles as prisoners or prison guards. This was done to challenge the moral compass of “good” individuals in a negative environment, which in this case was a prison. Surprisingly, the participants truly embodied their roles.
Reflection Paper Throughout the semester I’ve learned a lot, not only about English 2 but also about the world. The problems that are out there and are in need of our help and we don’t even know about it because we are so blinded from everything around us and we are only focused on our lives and the lives of our loved ones. This class has really open my eyes and see how the world is, the problems
It is hard to focus and my study methods are vastly differed from those of an average college student. I am an aspiring student but struggles with focusing in on main projects as I want to ramble in a different direction. In order to get past this I must get in to a routine that requires a type of consistency in my studies. In the same way, Malcolm X had to learn to enhance his education he had to study consistently all day and every free moment in his day. I have to do the same in order to become a successful student.
This is just one incident of how strenuous an athlete’s life is compared to a non-athlete’s. While both students can be intelligent and bright individuals, athletic people have the bigger plate to handle. Athletic people are required to maintain a C-Average or above in school, and if broken, leads to hardcore sprinting, less playing time, and even suspension from games. Athletic people are critiqued on their academic performance, and this usually decides how much playing time they receive during the next game. Non-athletic people can set any standards they desire, for if they wish to fail their classes, they can happily do it without any major consequences.
In 1971, psychologist Philip Zimbardo and his colleagues set out to create an experiment that looked at the impact of becoming a prisoner or prison guard. Zimbardo, a former classmate of Stanley Milgram (who is best-known for his famous obedience experiment, was interested in expanding upon Milgram's research. He wanted to further investigate the the impact of situational variables on human behavior. The question the researchers asked was how would the participants react when placed in a simulated prison environment. "Suppose you had only kids who were normally healthy, psychologically and physically, and they knew they would be going into a prison-like environment and that some of their civil rights would be sacrificed.
People can obey morally conflicting orders if they vicariously carry out these commands as the will of their authoritarian. Ordinary people can, and have, been known to act completely out of their self-defined character under stressful situations. We’ve seen documented cases of this; in particular I’m referring to “The Stanford Prison Experiment” conducted by Philip Zimbardo (389). Here was an experiment where 21 Stanford students were selected to become role players in a prison environment. To eliminate any preference for the students, they were randomly assigned their roles, half of them would become the guards of the prison and the other half would be prisoners.
The mentally ill do not want or ask to be sick. As with “When Kids Get Life”, we are filling our jails and prisons with people unable to make conscience mature decisions. Why are there so few mental facilities? Was it not thought out, where would all of these patients go and what would they
