Prison Gangs Gang Involvement
948 words
With as much gang violence that occurs within the
community today you can pretty much assume that
the same can be applied outside of the community.
It is thought that by taking these violent gang
members off the streets the violence will lessen.
This may be true in bettering the community but
the violence will still continue in the prison
systems. By presenting this paper I plan to review
gang violence in the prison systems along with an
explanation of the gangs themselves. Also, certain
gangs w...

acts. The idea is that rehabilitation is intended

parole and indeterminate sentencing are provided

Capital Punishment is an issue that has been
argued over from the dinner table in the average

House for countless amounts of years. The opposing
sides each state their claim on why we should, or
shouldn't allow the death penalty to be
administered to those criminals who the courts
believe should be killed. Each argument has very
valid reasons on why the death penalty is right

Capital Punishment Does Not Deter Cruel And Unusual Punishment

There has been much controversy over capital
punishment over the years. Few people in the
United States see capital punishment as being
wrong. It is said that Canada is way too easy on
their criminals because they do not punish the
convicts by the death penalty. Canada says that
the United States is way to strict on their
criminals because they execute their convicts by
the death penalty. Should murderers be murdered
for their crimes or should they spend the rest of

... on death row (Cornell Law Review, 542).
Death-penalty advocates often point out that no
one has been proved innocent after execution.
However, the DNA evidence that could establish
such innocence has frequently been lost by
prosecutors with no incentive to keep it. In
Virginia case, a court actually prevented
posthumous examination of DNA evidence. On the
defense side, lawyers and investigators
concentrated their scarce resources on cases where
lives can be spared. And while DNA answers some...

Retribution Capital punishment, is the execution
of criminals by the state, for committing crimes,
regarded so heinous, that this is the only
acceptable punishment. Capital punishment does not
only lower the murder rate, but its value as
retribution alone is a good reason for handing out
death sentences. Support for the death penalty in
