War On Drugs People Of Color

The U. S. Constitution once counted Black slaves
as worth three-fifths of Whites. Today, Black per
capita income is three-fifths of Whites. Thats an
economic measure of enduring racism. The
Latino-White ratio is even worse. One out of three
Black men in there twenties is now in prison or
jail, on probation or on parole on any given day.
The comparable figure for Latinos is about one in
eight, and for Whites, one in fifteen. It is

Prisons in the United States are overcrowded. The
incarceration rate in the United States is the
highest in the world. There are more than one
million people in the United States that are in a
correctional facility. The causes for overcrowding

glorification of violence, an epidemic of drug
abuse, and mandatory sentencing guidelines. The
average cost to house a prisoner in a correctional
facility is approximately $ 25, 000 per year.

Prison Rehabilitation, the Laughing-Stock of the
Nation The rapid growth of the crime control
industry is a frightening aspect of contemporary
U. S. society. Incarceration represents the
ultimate form of surveillance: 24 hours a day,
within four walls, monitored by humans, by
machines, restricted in their movements. Prisons
are overcrowded but the crime rates still do not
have a steady trend toward diminishing. So the
question arises: do these prisons and other
rehabilitation programs have the a...

that make positive sentencing reform rather
problematic remain, different factors have come
together at the beginning of the new century which
made such reform more possible than it has been
for a many years. On the other hand, as these
critical factors are not likely to remain in
adjustment for a long period of time, they
challenge progressive reformers to work and react
with dispatch. One of the prevale...

I will never claim to be an expert as an undergrad
at anything, but in my personal opinion, McCarthy
is not the son of Faulkner in the Southern
Literary Renaissance. McCarthy and Faulkner share
common view in the complexities of nature and its
subsequent weave with the human condition. The
psychological complexity of Faulkner also stems
from his desire to explore the true heart of
people and not their surfaces (note his Nobel
Prize Speech). While McCarthy exposes
personalities and creates unbeli...

have resulted in a rally of people calling for
harsher punishments for young offenders. Political

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.
Instead, governments imprisoned people who were
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...
