Prison Overcrowding
[ send me this essay ]
15 pages in length. The United States lays claim the world's highest incarceration rate as a direct result of federal minimum sentencing requirements mandated by law in the 1980s. The result is that state correctional prison budgets are exploding and the national inmate population currently stands at no less than one million prisoners. Finding a viable solution to the problem has been plaguing a number of states, not the least of which is California, inasmuch as "...overcrowding requires an expansion of facilities or a dropping of the intake rate. Prison officials have no control over the capacities of their institutions or over the number of offenders that are sent to them by the courts" (Jerin, no date). The writer discusses potential alternatives and solutions, as well as provides statistical information concerning California's overcrowding problem. Bibliography lists 15 sources.

Prison Privatization
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page paper arguing against prison privatization speaking from an administrator's perspective; arguing for it from a private manager's point of view; and assessing the challenges that privatization offers. Logically, it would seem that privatization would create conditions in which prisons can operate far more efficiently than when the prison is a function of state-level corrections and public law enforcement. Most research has focused either on cost or quality, but not on both. Whether privatization is more efficient still largely is a matter of perception. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Prison Staff: Coping With Their Jobs
[ send me this essay ]
7 pages in length. There is, perhaps, a no more stressful, dangerous, mentally and physically exerting or violent job as that of a prison guard. Those who seek such a demanding position are made of more intestinal fortitude than the average human being, inasmuch as the day-to-day, in-your-face challenges of controlling angry, antisocial inmates takes a significant toll upon even the strongest of individuals. In an ongoing effort to combat the negative aspects of such overwhelming work-related tension, it is critical that prison guards learn to manage their stress levels. In general, people do not know how to allow their bodies to relax, which is a natural method of stress control; rather, guards are all too often in a constant state of tension with no available release for their penned up stress, which becomes a significant concern for their overall health. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Prison Violence

Filename: RAprvi.rtf

Prison Violence and Policy
[ send me this essay ]
A 10 page paper using the problem of prison violence to conduct an exercise in designing, implementing and evaluating policy changes. At least one author flatly states that prison violence is not affected by conditions of overcrowding, but that sole author appears to be a lone voice in his claims. Conventional wisdom and formal evidence indicate otherwise. Most inmates spend their days in boredom, and they are discouraged from preventing any violence that occurs within the prison. Policy change for education in critical thinking, utilitarianism and other abstractions is sought to be revealed in reduced prison violence. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
