...The Current Status of Prison Privatization Research on American Prisons Gerald G. Gaes. Ph. D. Florida State University August 2010 Introduction In many ways, any discussion of prison privatization strikes at the heart of the fundamental goals and purposes of prison and punishment. The discussion elevates such themes as the role of the private sector in administering punishment, the importance of metrics to evaluate and compare how well the privately and publicly operated prisons provide services, the structure and form of oversight and accountability to insure punishment is just and fair, and the measurement of cost and efficiency. To be sure, many of these issues are crucial even in the absence of a privatization debate. However, because there are impassioned proponents and opponents on both sides of the issue, the prison privatization literature has provoked both earnest debate and fractious polemic. One might expect that the importance of this topic would have elevated prison privatization research and encouraged the funding of large scale studies. In fact, there are very few studies comparing privately and publicly operated facilities. Segal and Moore (2002) identified about 23 U.S. cost comparison studies and fewer quality studies. Many of those studies were of questionable value. The most recent review, a meta-analysis by Lundahl et. al. (2009) only identified 12 studies of cost and quality meeting their criteria for sound methodology. Even with...

...| Federal Vs State Policy Comparison | | | CJA 464 | Robert Powers | | Each state has their own specific unique laws established individually for their state. In conjunction with those laws that exist over the people in their specific state there are also federal laws that govern the states as well as the people who live in them. These laws that govern the people are known as state laws and federal laws. The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land in the United States. “It creates a federal system of government in which power is shared between the federal government and the state governments. Due to federalism, both the federal government and each of the state governments have their own court systems (Comparing State & Federal Courts, 2013)”. The Constitution provides the federal government the authority it needs to handle the nations international affairs as they deal with foreign policy, this enables the federal government to create and establish the national defense needs of the nation, and it also allows them the power to handle and deal with the issues which are currency related inside the nation. The federal government is superior to state government, and, because of this federal law will override state law. The Fourteenth Amendment in the United States Constitution designates that the Bill of Rights valid in each state. According to the Constitution federal law is designated to govern items passed in legislation by the United States Congress...

The privacy policy and practice of the websites that this privacy document links are reviewed and hosted by Trustee. This is in compliance with Trustee’s program requirements, including transparency. The parts of the Privacy Policy that are confusing to me, is the reference to the policy compliance being transparent to accountability and choice regarding the collection of people’s information; but it says the Trustee’s does not cover information that may be collected through downloadable software. Trustee, who defines itself as the independent party to accelerate online trust among consumers and organizations globally through its leading privacy Trustmark and innovative trust solutions; Trustee at the end of the privacy policy does say that it has the right to share, rent, sell or otherwise disclose your information with/ to third party in accordance with applicable laws; i.e. marketing services, and applications, email marketers, wireless services, or postal mailings.

...Tsongas once said, “You cannot redistribute wealth you never created. You can’t be pro-jobs and anti-business at the same time. You cannot love employment and hate employers.” Currently 22 states have right-to-work laws, which guarantee workers the right to determine individually whether or not they will join or otherwise support a labor union. The remaining states are Evidence 1: Retards economic growth of the region Every States are ranked on their economic competitiveness in a report called "Rich States, Poor States" for the American Legislative Exchange Council. This ranking uses 15 fiscal, tax and regulatory variables to determine which states have policies that are most conducive to prosperity. One of these 15 policies, right to work laws, has consistently stood out as one of the most important in predicting where jobs will be created and incomes will rise. States that have right-to-work laws grow faster than states with forced unionism. Over the past decade the right-to-work states grew faster in nearly every respect than their union-shop counterparts: 54.6% versus 41.1% in gross state product, 53.3% versus 40.6% in personal income, 11.9% versus 6.1% in population, and 4.1% versus -0.6% in payrolls. In a separate study Prof. Vedder of ______ found that right to work states are getting richer over time. Prof. Vedder found a 23%...

...Studies suggest that the federal school accountability policy did improve the math achievement of elementary students, particularly among socioeconomically disadvantaged groups. Comparable evidence that NCLB generated meaningful improvements in reading achievement continued to fail. Research was conducted by Dee and Jacob (2010). To isolate the causal effects of NCLB, they made use of the fact that some states had introduced their own accountability systems in various years prior to the introduction of the national program. They viewed states that had no prior accountability system as the group that was treated by the federal law, with the others serving as the control group. The authors then estimated interrupted time series models that allow them to test for changes in the trend in the treated states in the post‐NCLB. From these analyses, they concluded that NCLB led to a moderate and statistically significant increase in test scores in math for 4th‐grade students and a positive, but not statistically significant, increase for eighth graders in math, with no effects on reading scores for students in either grade.Other researchers came to similar conclusions...

...Running head: HEALTH STATUS AND HEALTH CARE Health Status and Health Care Services in Canada with Comparison to the United States Bonny Tiley DeVry University, HSM 310 In the following literature, the Canadian health care system will be compared in detail to the United States health care system. There are two very different health care systems between Canada and the United states. They each have their own difficulties within their own systems and are currently trying to find ways to improve these particular issues. The Universal Health Care system is used in Canada; this provides coverage to all the citizens of Canada (Canadian Health Care, 2007). It is executed on either a territorial or provincial basis, staying within the guidelines that have been made by the federal government (Canadian Health Care, 2007). The United States on the other hand has a hugely private system, with multiple payers, leaving the US citizens no choice other than to pay out of one’s own pocket in order to obtain health insurance, also Americans are not fully insured or even partially insured like the citizens of Canada are (Canadian Health Care, 2007). Each country spends a large amount of funding for their health care systems. Canada had spent over eleven percent of its overall GDP on health care, the United States on the other hand had spent 17.4 percent of its overall GDP this year (United North America, 2013). On the other hand, Canada has been shown to spend much less of the GDP on their...

...Coding and Billing Paper Richard Carter Grand Canyon University: HCA 530 Professor King July 18, 2015 This paper will discuss how Community Mental Health Rehabilitative Services (CMHRS) are billed under Medicaid in comparison to other industries and the impact that private and government insurers and payers have on the reimbursement process. How Medicaid is administered and funded Medicaid is a government program that is administered through the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) in order to assist low-income people pay for part or all of their medical bills. It was created by the 1965 Social Security Act. It is federally governed but locally administered by each State. States use private health insurance companies to administer their Medicaid programs. These providers are essentially HMOs that contract with the state Medicaid department to provide services for an agreed-upon price. Other states work directly with the service providers. How to Code and Bill Medicaid for CMHRS Services In Virginia Magellan Health is the Behavioral Health Services Administrator or BHSA that the Virginia Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) contracted to manage and direct Virginia’s Medicaid programs. All community mental health and rehabilitative services providers under contract with the Virginia’s Department of Medical Assistance Services must contact Magellan Health directly for information on the reimbursement and claims processing instructions...

...Comparative Summary Comparing the similarities and differences between the for-profit, not-for-profit, and government financial environments can be substantial because for-profit, not-for-profit, and governmental entities use different financial structure, policies, and unique management practices. According to Gapenski (2008), hospitals are classified by ownership as private not-for-profit, investor owned, and governmental. The statistical data show approximately 60 percents of all hospitals are private not-for-profit hospitals, approximately 25 percents consisted of governmental hospitals, and approximately 15 percents are investor owned hospitals. Main difference between not-for-profit and for-profit hospitals are not-for-profit hospitals received numerous tax benefits such as tax exemption from federal, state, and local government income taxes because hospital serves as a charitable purpose and provide benefits to the community in general. The hospital sector in the United States includes three different types of ownership forms. Not-for-profit hospitals are the most common type but for-profit and government hospitals also play substantial roles. Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children is not-for-profit hospital dedicated to the providing a shelter of hope and healing to the children. According to Orlando Health (2011), “Arnold Palmer Hospital is a 158-bed pediatric hospital located in Orlando, Florida.” Orlando Health is dedicated to offering community services by providing...

...June 10, 2013 Strayer University Assignment #4 Select a country that has universal health care system provided by that country and provide some background information on this country. The Obama administration passed a health care bill that takes the U.S. part of the way towards a government-controlled system. However, it’s no secret that health care costs are increasing out of control in this country. Research says, as individuals we spend more per person on health care than both food and housing. Insurance premiums are multiplying much faster than inflation, which prevents economic growth and leaves businesses with less money to provide raises or hire more workers. While the quality and availability of medical care in the United States remains among the best in the world, many wonder whether we'd be better off adopting a universal government-controlled health care system like the one used in Canada. America doesn’t have universal health coverage; over 37 million people are without health insurance and approximately 53 million are underinsured, which means that they are inadequately insured in the event of a serious illness. Universal health care is a term that refers to a government system meant to ensure that every citizen or resident of a region that has assess to the required medical services. Thirty years ago there wasn’t a significant difference in the provision of health care between the U.S and Canada. However, Canada, by contrast, not only offers all of its...

...Canadian Healthy Policy vs. United States Health Policy AHS 330 Health Care Systems: 7Q April 2, 2014 Healthcare in the United States is extremely different from the rest of the world. Over the years government and political analysts have compared and contrasted the health care systems of the United States to that of Canada’s. Despite being located on the same continent both countries have different ways of delivering health care to its citizens. Canada has a single-payer system that is publicly funded, while the United States has a multi-payer system that relies heavily on privately owned healthcare. This could be due to the differences in how many patients are cared for compared to those in America or it could be just a matter of who developed the better healthcare. However, due to the close proximity of the countries it is possible that the United States can adopt the Canadian healthcare system. According to Health Canada, Canada's publicly funded health care system is best described as an interlocking set of ten provincial and three territorial health insurance plans. Known to Canadians as "Medicare", the system provides access to universal, coverage for hospital and physician services. With this being said it is safe to assume that health care services are provided on the basis of need, rather than the ability to pay. “The Canadian Health Act contains a single national plan that is composed of thirteen provincial and territorial health insurance plans that all share...

...argued that public prisons are better at all of the above while most support private prisons. The term prison privatization commonly refers to the policy of contracting out the management and operation of prisons and jails to private, for-profit companies. Prison privatization is a controversial issue, with ongoing debate over the ethics of delegating the punishment function of the criminal justice system to private actors, weather private prisons cost less to operate than public facilities, and if the quality of security and conditions of confinement differ between public and private prisons. In 2005, approximately 200 private correctional facilities operated in the United States, housing a total of 107,000 inmates. Four companies provide more than 90 percent of private prison capacity. About 6 percent of all state inmates and 14 percent of federal inmates are incarcerated in privatized facilities. The idea of privatizing prisons emerged in the 1980s as a policy remedy to the problem of growing incarceration rates, severe prison overcrowding, and constraints on increasing government funding of new prison space. Public investment in new prisons climbed eightfold from the late 1970s to the early 1990s, but was at or approaching its limits in many jurisdictions due to voter rejection of construction bonds, statutory ceilings on state debt, or general taxpayer unwillingness to support increases in government spending. With privatization used as a way of reducing costs and increasing...

...the upcoming year. Because of an increase in population in the City of Kelsey, statistics show an increase in crime in the City of Kelsey that is above the norm. This brings about a need for more police officers (University of Phoenix, 2011). Another issue is the recent reduction in federal pass-through funds, which will have a negative impact the budget for the City of Kelsey. At the federal level, a budget reform has put pressure on the City of Kelsey and other policing agencies to implement the use of federal funds within the allotted period. The mayor of Kelsey does not believe that state aid is an option for the City of Kelsey to make up the budget deficit, and increasing taxes does not appear to be an option because the state and local government does not want to increase taxes as this time. A final issue is a local club; the Sierra Club does not want more police officers and instead wants the City of Kelsey and the state to build more prisons to house the increase of inmates that result from increases in crime (University of Phoenix, 2011). The City of Kelsey budget is vital to the smooth operation of the city because any government organization or government centers their policies, resources, goals, priorities, finances on an organization or government budget. This report will provide details on final analysis of the City...

...Health in the World Is Complex Introduction In this assignment on health care in regards to the health care system in the United States is quite complex any everybody would understand that. If I was a health care administrative professional, several factors influence the industry. Health care is said to be, “the prevention, treatment, and management of illness and the preservation of mental and physical well-being through the services offered by the medical and allied health professions.” The U.S health care system has evolved so much over the last few decades and more changes are geared towards the health care system. Our health care system is not perfect but there some forces that have affected the development on the health care system in the U.S. The U.S health care system can be looked at two ways when it comes to the development of its affect on the U.S as being flawed and useful. When you think of the U.S health care system, you think of the impact as well as the forces that have affected the development of the health care system in the United States.

NIST defines their mission statement as “NIST's mission is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life.” (NIST General Information, 2014). NIST is involved in mostly every area of Information Technology from the latest Trusted Identity (Leithauser & Curran, 2012) standards formatting to the handling and processing of DNA (DNA research, 2013). In recent years the President of the United States signed a Memorandum implementing a Digital Government Strategy. The government recognizing mobile device vulnerabilities and the high risk of data loss assigned NIST to implement IDS and other security standards. In a recent Mobile Security Report published NIST highlights “As a part of the strategy, NIST was asked to report on its ongoing work in mobility, including the applicability of NIST’s standards and guidelines to mobile devices and platforms.
