State And Federal Prison Population
473 words
One of America's biggest problems today is the
overcrowding of prisons. This began when the
population of inmates started to soar in the 1980
's. With the increase of rapist, murderers, and
drug dealers skyrocketing, there is no reason to
this overpopulation. The nation responds to this
by building prison at a fast pace. But the
construction has not kept pace with the soaring
population of inmates. The number of prisoners
under the jurisdiction of Federal correctional
authorise at the end of 199...

Federal And State Prison Inmates

Drug abuse takes a toll on society that can only
be partially measured. While we are able to
estimate the number of drug-related crimes that
occur each year, we can never determine fully the
extent to which the quality of life in America's
neighborhoods has been diminished by drug-related
criminal behavior. With the exception of
drug-related homicides, which have declined in
recent years, drug-related crime is continuing at
a strong and steady pace. Numerous Drug-Related
Arrests Occur Each Year....

Marvelled Love, family, and small thrills are but
three things to live for. Sometimes they are the
only things to live for. Sometimes they are what
drive us to survive. For some of the inmates at
Angola State Prison, there is little to live for
and they still survive. Daniel Bergner once
stated, "We live for whatever it is possible to
live for" (168). But what do the inmates of Angola

Corrections Population Why were these articles
grouped together the way they were? That is, what
do the articles have in common, and how do they

Solitary Confinement Six Months

In the early 1800 s, prisons were widely regarded
as ineffective institutions. The Quakers, the
kindly, war-hating, gentle, people, wanted to
change this. Their primary goal was to create a
prison that attempted to reform prisoners, rather
than punish them. Following this mission
statement, they constructed the Eastern State
Penitentiary in the Fairmount section of
Philadelphia. The Eastern State Penitentiary is
the oldest of its kind in the United States. It
closed its doors in the 1970 s, and ...

The United States is plagued by a countless number
of social dilemmas. Although not in constant
public scrutiny, suicide is a serious problem
which has seemed to have lost importance. When
suicide is coupled with arrest and incarceration
it becomes an increasingly complex situation. In

rate of the general population (Winkler 1992).

Prisoners Of War Dining Hall

Prisons were virtually non existent before the
1700 s; prison was not considered a serious
punishment for crime, and was seldom used.

awaiting trial or punishment whereupon they would
receive the more common capital or corporal types
of punishment. Common punishments at that time
included branding, imposing fines, whipping and
the death penalty (capital punishment). The
authorities punished most offenders in public in
order to discourage people fro...
