Rehabilitation of Prison Inmates

Prison inmate rehabilitation is a critical step in preparing inmates to join society once they complete their jail term. In most cases, the rehabilitation process focuses on approaches that eliminate mental effects associated with some crimes, as Derlic (2020) discussed. Previously, most rehabilitation processes have focused on educational programs. Mental health support, and work-related training that equip prisoners with the ability to compete equally in the job market, as indicated by Heseltine, Day, & Sarre (2011). These ways have been ineffective in preparing inmates back the society because they fail to address character weaknesses associated with committing crimes.

REHABILITATION OF PRISON INMATES

Some of the creative ways to rehabilitate prison inmates for possible release back to society are as follows. First, prison inmates can be rehabilitated through Prisoner Facilitated Mediation, as outlined by Balafoutas et al. (2020). It is a process that focuses on improving inmates’ decision-making ability and educating them on how to communicate effectively . As indicated by Oliveira & Graca (2018). It equips them with the ability to think critically, takes responsibility for their actions, and achieve peaceful coexistence with society. The other creative rehabilitation process involves allowing inmates to participate actively in programs within the prison. It enables them to gain a sense of responsibility for themselves and other members of society.

Finally, the faith-based organization offers a critical form of inmate rehabilitation. They provide psychological and spiritual support to the inmates. Again, most of these organizations engage the convicts and gives them the morale to be responsible for their lives. Both convicts and ex-convicts are supported for easy re-entry and coping with society, as stated by Timler, Brown, & Varcoe (2019). Based on a few Biblical scriptures such as Mathew 11:12, Romans 16:7, and Acts 12:1 and 12:5, they also point instances of individuals’ rehabilitation. For example, apostles Paul, John, and Peter used mentorship as an essential rehabilitation approach to support convicted Christian followers, as highlighted by Tucker & Luetz (2021). As highlighted in Mathew 25:36, Christians are urged to be vibrant in helping inmates (Skotnicki & Carm, (2004).

Law And Labor

Law And Labor

One of the most hotly debated subjects in labor relations today is that of ‘Right to Work’ laws. It’s time to do some deeper research and take a position on this controversial issue. In a narrative, do the following:

1. What is the history of ‘Right to Work’ laws? Where did they come from? Who proposed them and why? Has their purpose or effect changed since original inception?

2. Accurately summarize both sides of the ‘Right to Work’ debate. What exactly is each side arguing, and what are the defenses to the claims of their opponents?

3. Articulate your own opinion on this issue. Are ‘Right to Work’ laws ethically sound? Are they good for unions? Good for employers? Good for employees? If one or more of these stakeholders are disadvantaged, how? Do the benefits of these laws outweigh the costs? Why or why not?

4. What is your prediction for ‘Right to Work’ laws in America? Currently, the country is divided more or less 50:50 in terms of states with and without such laws. Will they become the new norm? Or will they regress and be repealed in the states that have enacted them? Defend your predictions with sound reasoning.

Criminal Justice

1. Choose one of the topics below to write about:

  • Few people could live together and not have laws. Why? Consider the concept of pluralism. Does pluralism have any negative aspects? Why have some fought so hard against the concept in the United States? Consider present examples and discussion surrounding the idea of pluralism and how this may or may not be connected to the current discussion on immigration.
  • Could a country such as the United States function without a federal constitution? Would it be possible for each state to merely abide by its own constitution? Why shouldn’t the US Constitution include an overall criminal code specifying crimes and punishments that could apply [universally] throughout the US? Can you think of current tensions between states’ rights and the federal government (e.g., gun laws, physician assisted suicide, legalization of marijuana, etc.) Discuss.

  • legalization of marijuana,

  • Should any one court be given the final say? Why or why not? Is there a negative side to appointment for life on the Court? Does this and the inability to lessen a justice’s salary really prevent influencing a Supreme Court justice? Do you think that the Supreme Court is a de facto lawmaker? What about split decisions? Considering many Supreme Court decisions are decided 5 to 4, is it reasonable to have the law of the land determined by 5 people?
  • As discussed previously, can you think of current tensions between states’ rights and the federal government? Discuss. Do you believe that this influences your daily life? Imagine a system in which the federal government determined all laws across the land. One in which there was no local or state-level jurisdiction fluctuation. What would it look like?
  • Explain at what point a person is considered “under arrest.” Explain the difference between a stop and an arrest. Why might states authorize probable cause arrests for certain unwitnessed misdemeanors? How much force can be used by an officer when executing an arrest? How is it determined? Can you think of any times when you heard about “excessive use of force” and if so, how do you think the actions of a few influenced the perceptions of many regarding the police?

Paper #1

Rigor Mortis, Livor Mortis, Algor Mortis

Algor mortis is “Aprocess that occurs after death in which the body temperature continually cools until it reaches the ambient or room temperature.” (Saferstein, 2015. Pg. 113.) This is the most crucial of the three mortis’ listed above. In order for an accurate determination of time of death this must be conducted as soon as possible. There are a few steps as to how this is calculated.

First, you would need to determine what the surrounding temperature of the body was. Next, it is important to get the temperature from the ear channel of the victim at the scene. “Ataverage ambient temperatures of 70-72 degrees Fahrenheit, the body loses heat at a rate of approximately of 1-1.5 degrees F per hour until the body reaches the ambient or room temperature.” (Saferstein, 2015. Pg. 113) Now, since the heart rate is greatly influenced by the ambient temperature, along with other factors, this can only give an approximate amount of time since death.

Rigor Mortis, Livor Mortis, Algor Mortis

Liver Mortis is defined as, “Amedical condition that occurs after death and results in the settling of blood in areas of the body closest to the ground.” (Saferstein, 2015, Pg.113) When the human heart stops pumping blood, the blood then pools to the areas that are closest to the ground. “The onset of this condition begins 20 minutes to 3 hours after death and under average conditions continues for up to 16 hours after death, at which point all lividity, or coloring, is fixed. Initially, lividity can be pressed out of the vessels.

” (Saferstein, 2015. pg. 113) When some of the skin is pressed it is called blanched. A range in the time of death can be determined by the lividity as long as there is still some whitening. The body temperature and that of the environmental temperature is a contributor in the way this directly affects the initial time of death.

Rigor mortis is the last of these. Rigor mortis is “The onset of this condition begins 20 minutes to 3 hours after death and under average conditions continues for up to 16 hours after death, at which point all lividity, or coloring, is fixed. Initially, lividity can be pressed out of the vessels.” (Saferstein, 2015. pg. 113) This is probably the most common of the three. These are some things that can alter the determination of time of death. “An environment that is hot can speed up the process significantly. Conditions that affected the body before death, such as exercise or physical activity, can also speed up the process. (Saferstein, 2015. pg. 113.)

Responses must be written in your own words. No quotes allowed.

efficacy of forensics

ONLY USE THE SOURCES OF EACH QUESTION, NO OUTSIDE SOURCE.

Answer the following questions:

1a. We’ve discussed how the ‘human factor’ can impact the efficacy of forensics. These human factors are especially influential in subjective forensics (i.e. footwear, tool-mark, fingerprint, etc.). Now let’s talk about more objective forensic evidence. Watch ‘ Exploring bias in forensic DNA profiling (Links to an external site.) Shape, arrow Description automatically generated‘. How can bias influence DNA profiling?

1b. What can we do to mitigate bias and can we ever really completely eliminate bias?

 

2a. Before you started your degree in criminal justice (or took your first criminal justice class), did you have any misconceptions the CJ system?

2b. If so, where did these misconceptions come from?

2c. Read ‘ The ‘CSI Effect’: Does It Really Exist?

Actions

Preview the document‘. After reading the responses from the survey, identify at least one pro and at least one con of the CSI effect.

2d. After reading the article, do you think the CSI effect is a major concern for our legal system?

2e. Why or why not?

 

3a. Some suggest populating forensic databases, particularly DNA databases, with the entire population (either of the nation or world-wide) would increase the effectiveness of the database. Read ‘ DNA Sample Collection from Arrestees (Links to an external site.) ‘ and explain some of the logistical challenges. Read ‘ Forensic databases: benefits and ethical and social costs

Actions

Preview the document‘ (note: I am aware this is a UK article but some issues are universal) and explain some of the social and ethical challenges.

3b. Based on the challenges, do you think it is worth adding the entire population to a forensic database?

3c. Why or why not?
