criminal justice system

/in /by

1) Can you imagine a criminal justice system that sent people to jail or prison no matter the offense? Or everyone had to remain incarcerated until a trial date? Fortunately, we do not live under such a system. Community Corrections is an alternative to incarceration; it is used for pre and post-conviction. Its programs oversee offenders outside of jail or prison ( Stojkovic & Lovell,2019). Community corrections objectives are to offer an alternative to incarceration, lower jail and prison populations, incarceration costs, and supervise offenders once released from prison. The issues with alternative sentencing are highly complex because each program has its problems.

standard arrests and prosecution processes

For example,“ diversion programs are alternatives to standard arrests and prosecution processes”( Stojkovic & Lovell,2019, 7.2 section, para. 3). An accused offender that participates in the diversion programs can avoid a trial. However, “the accused gives up his due process guarantees that accompany formal prosecution”( Stojkovic & Lovell,2019, 7.2 section, para. 3). The accused could be innocent. It seems to make the accused guilty of a crime he may or may not have committed. Another issue with the diversion program it may undermine the focus for justice for the victims ( Stojkovic & Lovell, 2019). The accused may be guilty and may not be adequately punished with the option of the diversion program.

Probation is an excellent way for offenders to pay their debt to society without or less incarceration time.“ Some argue that probation depreciates the seriousness of an offense, especially when it is a felony that could result in lengthy incarceration”( Stojkovic & Lovell, 2019,8.3 section. para. 7 ). Probation can be an easy way out for offenders who committed a crime that deserves incarceration. It can be unfair to some offenders. A sentence disparity occurs when a person commits a similar crime but receives a different sentence( Stojkovic & Lovell,2019). Bias can influence whether an offender gets probation or incarceration.

Reintegration aims

After a person is released from prison, he returns to society. Reintegration aims to provide opportunities in the community for the formerly incarcerated to live as law-abiding citizens ( Stojkovic & Lovell, 2019). The ex-offender learns to adapt to the beliefs and community values of the community in which he resides. It can also be a form of rehabilitation for the ex-offender.“ Community-based education, counseling, and support services are available to ex-offenders ( Stojkovic & Lovell, 2019). The Restorative Justice program is a community corrections program that aims to assist reintegration. The Restorative Justice program aims to repair the harm a crime has done to the victim and the community( Stojkovic & Lovell, 2019, 7.1 section, para. 13). The program allows the offender to make amends with the victims and the community. This can start the healing process for the victims and the ex-offender becoming a law-abiding citizen.

2) Alternative sentences utilize “a suspended sentence, probation, fines, restitution, community service and deferred adjudication/pretrial diversion”(Alternative Sentences, 2019), as a different means of conviction rather than jail or prison time.  Alternative sentences can be utilized to decrease the population in prisons that may already be too high.  It also allows for a chance for first-time offenders to avoid jail time by being placed on probation or given community service.

the deferred adjudication process

However, a problem that could be conceived is individuals may take the alternative sentencing as a free pass and continue to commit crimes.  Additionally, some of the alternative sentences could result in the offender later being incarcerated for violating the conditions of his/her sentence.  Failure to abide by probation terms, failure to pay fines or restitution, failure to complete community service or failure to complete the deferred adjudication process.  If an offender does fail to do any of these, they wind up in jail or prison, thus wasting the state’s time and money.

When an offender is placed on probation, it is an alternative to incarceration or fines.  The incarceration sentence or fine is suspended and the offender avoids incarceration if the conditions are met while on probation.  If the offender fails to meet the conditions, the suspended sentences could be activated.  Due to the offender having to meet conditions of probation and understanding that failure to do so could mean incarceration, probation meets the goals of sentencing.  It helps to reduce future criminal activity from the offender.

Reintegration can take place inside of prison, but also outside when the offender is released.  It utilizes involving the offender with programs to assist them with problems or help them learn trades they can utilize as a citizen.  Parole and probation officers can assist an offender with connecting to professional help such as substance abuse help.  Additionally, program staff inside correctional facilities can do the same.

the California Corrections Department

3) Nearly 80 percent of prisoners are high school drop outs. Georgia Corrections provides offenders with their first step in their educational journey. Which is assisting offenders with obtaining their GED. The educators and staff made it possible for 19 students to graduate with their GED. Once the offenders complete the GED program they are eligible to obtain a vocational certification for programs like welding, manufacturing, restaurant management, custodial maintenance  . Georgia correctional Center also offer clinical and mental health services  The main objective of the Georgia Correctional Center is to build valuable life skills and to prepare offenders for society while maintaining safety and security .

4)The tweet I selected was from the California Corrections Department. And it covered how there was 17 incarcerated individuals graduating from the program they have in prison called, Offender Mentor Certification Program. This program prepares them to get jobs as certified drug and alcohol counselors upon their release from prison. This is such an amazing program for them. Not only will they help others that are in similar situations they were once in. They will also be reminded why they should never go back to that. And it will make them stay on the right path to sobriety and a successful future.

Jurisdiction

Jurisdiction is the foundation of every case. A case must be filed in a court that possesses jurisdiction. You are currently working in the District Attorney’s Office as an investigator. And you have been asked to investigate the court that has jurisdiction over a case that involves the robbery of a local bank and two murders. The district attorney has asked you to research the questions to help her make a decision.

Jurisdiction is very important within the court system because it is what decides whether the state. Or federal government has the authority to prosecute the case. In a 1–2-page paper, research the following:

  • What is jurisdiction, and how does      it impact state and federal courts?
  • What is concurrent jurisdiction?
  • Provide 1 example of a crime for which the state court has jurisdiction and another example of a federal      crime for which the federal court has jurisdiction. Why does each      respective court have jurisdiction for the crimes that you have listed?
  • Provide 1 example of a crime for      which concurrent jurisdiction exists, that is, the criminal act could be      prosecuted in state or federal court or both. In the example that you      provided, in which court do you think that the case should be prosecuted?      Why?
  • Next, locate the Web site for your      state’s Supreme Court (if you reside in the state of New York. Your state      refers to its highest appellate court as the Court of Appeals).      Discuss the make-up of your state’s highest appellate court.
  • Please provide citations to your      references at the end of your assignment in a Reference section.
