Some juvenile inmates come from broken homes, divorced families, deadbeat parents and are just trying to survive. Juvenile prisons need to be different from adult prisons, you can’t treat kids like adults, especially the younger juveniles. They need a role model to influence them positively, punishment but an emphasis on hope a better life more than anything. Adults still need hope, but if you’re still committing crime as an adult you’re either in the wrong place at the wrong
Prisons are consistently overflowing with repeat offenders and minor criminals. In addition to repeat offenders and perpetrators of minor crimes clogging up the system, the cost of keeping a prisoner is astronomical compared to the author’s suggested form of punishment. However, I do see the need for prisons, or someplace comparable, to keep the most violent criminals out of society. I believe Moskos should have stated hard facts regarding the ineffectiveness of prisons and given pertinent details about the productive use of corporal punishment. I’m not sure there are any “appropriate” forms of punishment.
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”
In a reality you get real consequences for breaking the law and I broke it.I realized that you can't just wink your eye and get out of it and there are consequences for you.A part of growth as a teenager is mental developement and now that I have the mind set of taking head to this lesson I learned, the success in my life is imminent.The excessive consequences of crime aren't pretty and neither is jail. Although i felt that I was a bit similar to these criminals,the entire experience was frightening and I pledge to do everything in my power not to return to jail.I entered that place with a bit of joy and anger intwined,but once I got out of my daydreaming state I acquired the common sense that I must have not had before to land myself in this grimey,dreadful place.There are consequences for your actions and you do have a choice to do the right or wrong action,its up to you.When knowing that after doing something wrong that jail is not that far behind,you tend to just do the right thing.It is not because of just fear alone but because of pure growth that I don't want to return and a truly changed
The physical and psychological impact of prison is far more likely to have a serious and negative impact than a similar sentence would have on an adult prisoner. Juveniles should never be in prison with adults because not only they are more likely to be corrupted by the prison environment, but there is also the persistent danger of abuse including sexual abuse and health risks. ‘The greatest danger is physical and sexual assault by adults housed in the same facility, including inmate trustees who may have access to juveniles in ‘separate’ quarters in jail.’ (Clement 395). Juvenile delinquents need help and a direction in life should be given to them. Placing them in adult prison subjects them to violence and exploitation, and deprives them of the chance to start their new lives.
The correctional system being overcrowded is the biggest issue today. The justice system has been a striving force to make sure the crime rate is reduced and the safety of society stays intact. With keeping society safe, there comes a price. People who commit crimes must be brought to justice and be punished for breaking the law. The
Also the offender is more likely to go back to a life of crime because that’s sometimes all they know how to do so that they can survive in the real world. I also believe depending on the crime the offender commits they should have a more lengthy and strict probation if they aren’t given jail or prison time. Even though the jails and prisons are largely overcrowded and sometimes state funds can’t incarcerate habitual offenders I feel that that they need to be on stricter probation or parole sentence so they understand that what they are doing is wrong. I do not believe that individuals who commit misdemeanors should be subjected to a lengthy prison
Does imprisonment fulfil those aims and purposes? Studies worldwide have shown that imprisonment does not work in terms of stated objectives. The stated objectives are to reform the criminal. In the majority of cases, the prison population is largely made up of re offenders. Donna King (Smart Justice) described her experience in jail as “Each prison sentence I went through, my crimes got bigger.
Reintroduction to society II. Conclusion: Recidivism in the United States has tremendously grown and the reason for its criminal or antisocial behavior is due to its treatment program, or detention program. As many of us find it hard to cope with the real world, inmates is struggling to live from day to day basic.

However, the implementation of; Prison improvement program has made it possible for prison to preserve the basic human rights of inmates.
