...detail the differences between Kitsap County Jail and the Washington State Corrections Center for Women. Within the paper, different topics will emerge that will explain the different types of prisons, aspects of culture and subculture inside prison, correctional programs, violence inside prison and the roles of jails in criminal justice. Jails and prisons play one important role and that is obtaining those who are offenders of the law. There are two types of prisons, federal and state. Federal prisons are for those who are convicted of federal criminal offenses, such as fraud and houses inmates for longer periods of time. State prisons are for those convicted of state criminal offenses. In the United States, prisons have traditionally been distinguished by the following custody levels: high security, maximum security, medium security, low and minimum security. High security prisons hold the high risk inmates, those who are at risk of escaping for example. The prison has the inmates in their cell 23 hours a day, and releases them for an hour. Maximum security holds the dangerous convicted criminals. Medium security holds the inmates who are considered less dangerous and escape prone. Low and minimum security houses the really low risk inmates with less guards and fencing. There are female prisons, male prisons and coeducational prisons. Coeducational prisons is where both males and females can work, eat and study...

...SAFE House Project Jerald Coleman Crime Prevention CRJ 306 Prof Angelique Lees March 10, 2014 It is the place where the Coleman family has called home for many years. From my years at Grimes Elementary, to playing basketball and football in the streets, crowds gathering for little league football and baseball games. Sunnyside, Texas is one of the most popular areas around the Houston area. However, along with those good times, also came some heartaches and pain due to crimes committed. Many of those little leaguers we watched on the football field years ago, we watched some of them be carried off into police cars or the medical examiner vans. We have watched them as playful children who eventually ended into drugs and violence. One can only ask what we can do to save our community for all of this negativity. The purpose of this proposal is to introduce the idea of a program entitled “Safe House”. Safe House stands for Substance Abuse Free Environment. Safe House will cater to men, women, and juvenile offenders. This proposal will be a brief summary of the crime in our community as well as how this program will be beneficial in preventing more crimes in our area. This proposal will also analyze the SARA Model along with the Crime Analysis Triangle and determine how both would be beneficial in the development of this program. This proposal will also discuss how effective will Safe House be in our community and how. It will then discuss my recommendations, predictions, and...

...until 1930 when president Hoover signed a bill establishing a federal prison system that would actually start the building of actual federal facilities. During this time the federal system was relying on the state and local levels of government to house their prisoners. The increase of the federal system was persistent since there was a rise in the United States government. Within the federal prison system there are some security levels which classify prisoners and institutions as minimum, low, medium, high and administrative. There are so many types of state jails that contain different types of security levels. “The state prison levels include level one minimum security, level two medium security, level three high security and a recently added in the last decade level four super maximum security. One type of institution is referred to as an open security facility in which has minimal staff.” (Burk Foster, 2006). They have introduced institutions that are for offenders that have been released but still need some extra help with all sorts of programs they call this a half way house. Some offenders now that belong to these half way houses are in there because they have a drug addiction or an alcohol addiction. The half way house is a house that helps the offenders through their tough...

...The first federal Food Stamp program was designed to assist low-income families to purchase food as well as to deplete food surpluses that existed at the time. It ran from 1939 through 1943. Over the course of nearly 4 years, the first FSP reached approximately 20 million people at one time or another in nearly half of the counties in the U.S. peak participation was 4 million at a total cost of $262 million. The first recipient was Mabel McFliggin of Rochester, New York: the first retailer to redeem the stamps was Joseph Mutolo; and the first retailer caught violating the program was Nich Salzano in October 1939. The program ended since the conditions that brought the program into being unmarketable food surpluses and widespread unemployment no longer existed. Pilot Food Stamp Program – May 29, 1961-1964 A new pilot Food Stamp program started in 1961 and was formally adopted as a permanent Federal assistance program in 1964. Historically, people receiving assistance from this program received paper stamps, similar to coupons, with which to purchase food so the program became known as the “Food Stamp Program.” The 18 years between the end of the first FSP and the inception of the next were filled with studies, reports, and legislative proposals. The Eisenhower Administration never used the authority. However, in fulfillment of a campaign promise made in West Virginia, President Kennedy’s first Executive Order called for expanded food distribution and, on Feb. 2, 1961, he announced...

...PROGRAM ON NEGOTIATION AT HARVARD LAW SCHOOL AN INTER-UNIVERSITY CONSORTIUM TO IMPROVE THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF CONFLICT RESOLUTION PARKER – GIBSON TEACHER’S PACKAGE Review Copy Do Not Reproduce P ROGRAM O N N EGOTIATION AT H ARVARD L AW S CHOOL AN INTER-UNIVERSITY CONSORTIUM TO IMPROVE THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF CONFLICT RESOLUTION PARKER-GIBSON Teaching Notes Parker-Gibson is a two-party, single-issue negotiation for the purchase of a vacant lot. It is a refinement of an earlier simulation, Appleton-Baker. Overview The Parkers and Gibsons are neighbors. A vacant parcel of land, now owned by the Parkers, sits between their two house lots. The vacant parcel is smaller than the minimum required by zoning for a building lot, but potentially has value to abutters for "accessory uses" or simply as a buffer. The Parkers bought the land 15 years ago for $20,000 thinking that they might build a tennis court on it, but never went ahead with this project. The Parkers recently sold their house, but the purchasers are not very interested in buying the extra land. As a result, the Parkers have approached the Gibsons to see if they would like to acquire the parcel. As it happens, there is a large bargaining range in this case. The Parkers are moving out of state and will reluctantly sell the land for $15,000 to the purchaser of their home if the Gibsons aren't interested in buying the lot. Unbeknownst to the sellers, the Gibsons are very interested in purchasing the land...

...needs to stop creating long term programs and start to focus on creating more short term programs that are easy to start up A. “I’m also issuing a new goal for America: Let’s cut in half the energy wasted by our homes and businesses over the next 20 years,” Obama said”-Brad Plumer, Washington Post (Pres. Plan to be more energy efficient) 1. The president is definitely thinking about renewable resources and wants to incorporate them into the average American’s life, but again and again he uses words like “hope to”, “proposals”, words implying that these plans are loosely constructed and not in the forefront of the United State’s government’s mind. Maybe this is because his deadline is 20 years away. Obviously long term programs haven’t worked thus far. Making short term projects will make for stricter deadlines, a more focused and motivated team of officials and more projects getting up and running for the near future. 2. We believe that some of the short term programs that should be enacted first are getting the federal government agencies and the White House itself to start using renewable resources. To start having half of the energy these buildings are using to come from renewable energy resources like solar or wind power. By incorporating these types of renewable energy resources into their everyday lives, they will soon encourage the American peoples to use them to, not to mention benefiting the economy. 3. Advertising programs. B. “The...

...by various scientific innovations which have helped to reduce the prevalence of infectious diseases. Technological advancements have also led to various developments. The developments that have occurred in this field include improved sanitation and hygiene, vaccination, and improved methods of detection of diseases. These developments have led to the formulation of policies, public health programs and health promotion campaigns that have helped to control infectious diseases. In the 19th century, industrialization encouraged people to migrate from rural to urban areas as they searched for opportunities in the industrialized centers. This shift led to overcrowding which created various public health concerns. The overcrowded areas had poorly built houses that lacked proper sewerage drainage systems. Moreover, they did not have clean water supply systems. These shortcomings led to frequent outbreaks of diseases like cholera, typhoid fever, malaria, dysentery and yellow fever. However, various public health interventions that started in 1900 helped to overcome these challenges. In the first half of the 20th century, most local and state governments set up infrastructure for sewage disposal and clean water supply to homes. Moreover, water for domestic use was being treated by chlorination. This led to a reduction in the prevalence of disease outbreaks and water borne diseases. During the same period, aggressive animal and pest control measures were set up. These led to a decline...

There are numerous things that could be done to combat poverty. Raising the minimum wage is one of them. Further expanding government programs is one. Preventing out of wedlock childbearing is another. There are many reasons people fall into poverty and the solutions to it are as numerous if not more. Why should we care for the poor? Aren't they already getting free handouts from the government? Who cares if a few people go hungry at least they're not settling for cannibalism? These are common remarks made by apathetic Americans who don't understand the gravity of the...

...Past Prisons: The History of Incarceration Prisons are institutions designed to securely house people who have been convicted of crimes. These people are known as prisoners or inmates and are kept in an ongoing custody for a certain amount of time. The type of crime decides the length of the sentence. For some such crimes (i.e. murder) individuals may be sentenced to a lifetime imprisonment. In order for an individual to be incarcerated, they have to be accused of violating criminal law and then tried and found convicted in a jury of their peers. Then, the offender will be given a sentence for a specific punishment. Depending on the nature of the crime and whether or not it is a first offense decides if the punishment will be probation or incarceration in a prison or jail. According to historians, temples were used as sanctuaries before the concept of prisons evolved. They were used for the accused to flee to, but if they were unable to make it to one, they were to be punished by the accuser, which sometimes ended in death (Kosof, 1995, pp.19). The Encarta online Encyclopedia states: the existence of prisons originated in ancient Rome and Greece. The first place of confinement, Mamertine Prison, was constructed in the 7th century B.C. in Rome. It was mainly many tunnels of dungeons under the sewers. Small, miserable chambers held criminals for short periods of time. Instead of incarcerating the serious offenders, England began transporting of criminals. England's first...

As in the previous problem, the program will first ask the user how many numbers there are. Note: the average should always be a float, even if the user inputs are all ints. 15. Write a program that approximates the value of π by summing the terms of this series: 4/1 − 4/3 + 4/5 − 4/7 + 4/9 − 4/11 + . . . The program should prompt the user for n, the number of terms to sum, and then output the sum of the first n terms of this series. Have your program subtract the approximation from the value of math.pi to see how accurate it is. 16. A Fibonacci sequence is a sequence of numbers where each successive number is the sum of the previous two. The classic Fibonacci sequence begins: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13,. . .. Write a program that computes the nth Fibonacci number where n is a value input by the user. For example, if n = 6, then the result is 8.

...present and future economic stability of a country. For the most part, the uncontrolled increases in spending and reckless tax cuts in the past have damaged the federal budget, which the White House and Congress have allowed to occur. President Bush has put a fair amount of influence towards the federal deficit in his campaigns, State of the Union Addresses, and policies as President. According to the article titled U.S. Budget Deficit Shrinks, at the end of the fiscal year for 2006, Bush stated that he had officially cut the budget deficit in half to $247.7 billion, as promised, from the projected deficit of $521 billion. The President credited his tax cuts and business tax incentives for the better-than-expected showing in revenues, which drove the deficit to the lowest level in four years. Obviously, there are many that argue against this rationale to the fact that there was more at hand than the President’s policies. The Democrats belittled the sharp reduction in the deficit for the last fiscal year, with some saying that the White House deliberately exaggerated its initial projection to show a better result close to the Nov. 7 elections for control of Congress. "No one should be fooled by the game being played here," said Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.). "Cutting the deficit in half from an intentionally inflated high point is a misleading goal and certainly no measure of...

...The “Common Sense Savings Act” HR 4725 and Medicaid Provider Taxes The US House of Representatives Energy and Commerce Committee voted on March 15th to approve HR 4725, named the Common Sense Savings Act. The bill now goes to the full House for consideration. Among a variety of provisions within the bill, HR 4725 would reduce the Medicaid provider tax hold harmless safe harbor level from 6% to 5.5% starting in fiscal year 2018. In this brief, we provide an explanation of provider taxes and additional information about HR 4725. Provider Tax Basics Medicaid programs are financed with a combination of funds from both the federal and state governments, and a state pays anywhere from 26% to 50% of the cost for its Medicaid programming depending on a state’s per capita income. In those states that have opted to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, the states pay even less than 26% of the total costs because the federal government is paying 100% from 2014-2016 of the costs for the expansion population. One way states may raise funds for their share of...

How it works for management and corporate employees better than retail or service industry employees. I will explain why it doesn’t work at my job, being a restaurant. The second half of this paper I will discuss how Accenture –type work atmosphere has and has not happened at my place of employment. I will also discuss focusing on employee retention pays off for Accenture clients. Next I will discuss how Accenture markets itself to current and potential employees. Main The ROWE – type program would not work in most of the jobs that I have worked. Most of my jobs have been in the restaurant industry. My work relies on me being their when the customers come in. It would not be possible to work at home or leave in the middle of a shift during a dinner rush.
