Scenario: Imagine you are a corrections professional and have been asked to select a case study and present it to a high school class to explain the different types of correctional facilities in the United States.

 

Choose 1 of the following people to research:

El Chapo
Felicity Huffman
Andrea Yates
Mike Tyson

Create an 8- to 10-slide presentation that covers the following:

Explain the individual’s crimes. In what type of correctional institution did they serve or are they serving their sentence? Which factors about their specific crimes determined what type of facility they were sent to?
Based on your textbook readings, discuss the effectiveness of the type of correctional institution in this case.
Compare and contrast the correctional facility with another type of correctional facility, for example, the difference between a jail and a prison.
Explain a hypothetical situation where this individual’s crimes would send them to an alternative type of correctional institution. Provide details to support your assertion.

Prisons, jails and prisoner rights.

Posted on | by

 

 

These chapters revolve around prisons, jails and prisoner rights. A prison is a state or federal confinement facility that has custodial authority over adults sentenced to confinement. A jail is a confinement facility by an agency of local government (Schmalleger, 2018).

The use of prisons in the United States is a relatively new concept. It has only been in effect approximately 200 years, before this there was public humiliations, floggings, exile or even death. Today the use of prisons varies from state to state but the one notion that remains the same is that prisoners have rights. The 8th & 14th amendments of the Constitution involve the protection of those involved in the criminal justice system. How are these amendments relevant in today’s society regarding prisoner rights?

Market Failure Research

Posted on | by

The following are some ideas to help you pick a topic for the Market Failure Research Paper assignment. Consult with your instructor if you are having trouble picking a topic.What are some areas where the MARKET Fails to give us adequate quantity of output and desirable price??
(A) Public Goods and Service — Schools, Highways and Streets, Fire and Police Protection, National Defense, Prisons
(B) Industries that Need to be Regulated — Utilities, Airlines, Banks — As our economy changes what other industries also need to be regulated or de-regulated?
(C) Externalities — Companies produce some type of external cost that affects the community. The company would not voluntarily reduce or eliminate this cost unless the government required them to do so. (These could also be benefits that would add to community but not benefit the company in any way.)
(D) Income Inequality — Minimum Wage, Welfare Programs, Unemployment Benefits, Social Security, Medicaid — Areas where our society is becoming more socialized.

Assignment: Pick one market in which the price system does not produce an equitable price and quantity of output. Write a paper of 250 words minimum discussion with at least (2) sources cited in the MLA format. Include in your discussion:

(1) What action has our government taken in order to provide this good or service in an equitable fashion?
(2) What are the alternatives to government intervention?
(3) What has been the end result of government intervention?
