...Rehabilitation Paper Pamela Gilmore CJS/230 11/06/11 Rehabilitation Paper Prisoner rehabilitation has been started to reduce the incidence of recidivism Prisoner rehabilitation reduces the need for prisoners re-offending. There are several methods or disciplines of prisoner rehabilitation. Some prisons provide faith based prisoner rehabilitation where religion is used to encourage inmates to adapt some moral values for example, Idaho Correctional Institute introduced prison-based dog training program called Inmate Dog Alliance Project Idaho where prisoners receive training to train dogs from animal shelters. The prisoners learn a joy, a compassion and responsibility that can come from raising and training a dog, as well as skills that can help prisoners find a job when he or she is released from prison. Inmate drug abuse treatment focuses on simultaneously reducing offender substance abuse and criminal behavior. (Inside Prison, 2011) Some early eighteenth and twentieth century prisons were proponents or rehabilitation polices. Early the early 1820’s American prisons such as those at Auburn, Ossining and Pittsburgh implemented rehabilitation principles. The early programs isolated convicts in order to remove him or her from the temptations that had driven him or her to crime and to provide each inmate with time to reflect on his or her deeds. This belief that all convicts would return to his or her inherently good natures when removed from the corrupting influences...

...Sequitta Tucker Rehabilitation Paper Due October 23, 2011 CJS 230 Jason Skeens Rehabilitation Paper Prisoner rehabilitation is frequently quested to accommodate ability in self evaluation and self development in arrangement to assist prisoners in their exploration for better self-knowledge. Rehabilitation for prisoners is set to discipline them from their crimes. When I had stated discipline, it is also referred to as punishment for all wrongdoings. The origin of prisoner rehabilitation is to inhibit criminals from performing crimes. Ever since our communities has changed, even from the civil rights movement, the rights and treatment of what is issued to prisoners has been a major concern and has became very questionable. Rehabilitation and programs have increased in almost every prison and jail facility in our country. Theses agendas nevertheless, have not been enough to rehabilitate inmates as urgent punishment decrees are viewing decreased exercises in regards to the struggle over inmate’s rights. Prisoner rehabilitation does affect prisons and general society due to pride situations. Inmates feel that they are in a disabled or slow class and it makes them either discouraged or changeable. When certain inmates leave from a prison facility and go out into the society, they make have the characteristic to show others what has been taught to them or may have the characteristic to talk about the rehabilitation programs in a negative way to where’s they aren’t...

...Rehabilitation Paper Luanne McKnight CJS/230 03/03/13 Edward Harris, MS Rehabilitation Paper According to an encyclopedia, rehabilitation means “to restore to useful life, as through education” or restored to good condition, operation, or capacity.” (Wikipedia) Prisoner rehabilitation has gone through many changes over the years. In 1871 the national Congress on prison and reformatory discipline believed “crime was a moral disease, of which punishment was the remedy.” (Foster, 2006) the rehabilitation error, which spanned from the mid-1950s through the middle of the 1970s only took place in a few prisons in the southern states. In 1970, the joint commission on correctional manpower and training developed the medical model. This program would focus on the inmates social, intellectual or emotional deficiencies and Taylor program to rehabilitate them. For most inmates, the rehabilitation error develops three basic functions: classification on entering the prison; assignment to an institution based on that classification; and require participation in varied specialized programs focusing on areas in which change could be targeted. (Foster, 2006) Social impact of punishment and rehabilitation are varied. The biggest concerns being the increasing cost of correctional facilities and the fear to families caused by the eventual release of criminals back into society. In many cases, the impact on the victims carries great concern. Victims’ rights, at times, are overshadowed...

...Rehabilitation Paper Sylvia Pierce CJS/230 December 18, 2011 In the prison setting, a generic definition is something that makes a prisoner a better person. This is pretty open ended for it does not describe the change agent how the change takes place or the consequences of change a prisoner can become a better person and still be a criminal. In the 19th Century beginning in Britain, did prisons as know today become commonplace. The modern prisons system was born in London, influenced by the utilitarianism of Jeremy Berthan introduced the principle of observation and control that underpins the design of the modern prison. The notion of prisoners being incarcerated as part of their punishment not simply as a holding state, until trial or hanging was at the revolutionary. This is when prisons had begun to be used as criminal rehabilitation center. In 1779, the British Government passed the Penitentiary Act, which made the rehabilitation of criminals a function of all prisons. Since then, while imprisonment has remained the central form of punishment in the criminal justice system, the emphasis on correction rather than punishment has steadily increased. Despite the entrenchment of rehabilitation in social and criminal justice policy, the idea that prisons are not intended to rehabilitate but rather solely to punish and protect the public retains considerable public support in some areas. (Politics.co.uk, Rob Owen, Chief executive St. Giles Trust-October, 2010). Improved...

...Rehabilitation Paper Hope Washington CJS/230 Introduction to Corrections June 16, 2013 John Feltgen The goal of the prisoner's rehabilitation programs is to reform the prisoners from committing crimes and assisting them in starting normal lives without any criminal activities. Rehabilitation of criminals helps greatly in reducing the number of repeat offenders who return to jail after not being able to settle into a normal life outside the jail. Criminal rehab also helps in solving the issue of overcrowding in many prisons. The best rehabilitation programs for prisoner will not only be helpful for the criminal but also the society at great. Many people say that prisoners can’t be reformed and whatever punishment they get for their crimes, irrespective of that they always return to their old habits. After surveying it has been seen that after undergoing rehabilitation programs, many prisoners are reforming and returning to normal life. Despite its barbaric origins in the medieval dungeon and torture chamber, since the late 18th century prisons have combined elements of punishment with elements of rehabilitation. In 1779 the British Government passed the Penitentiary Act, which made the rehabilitation of criminals a function of all prisons. Since then, while imprisonment has remained the central form of punishment in the criminal justice system, the emphasis on correction rather than punishment has steadily increased. Rehabilitation techniques vary according to the nature...

...State and Federal Prison Systems Paper March 4, 2012 CJS/230 An example of a state prison would be Louisiana State Penitentiary which is also known as Angola and is located in Angola, Louisiana. In 1880, Major James purchased an 8,000 acre plantation in west Feliciana parish called Angola. Angola is the state’s oldest and only maximum security prison with an inmate population of 5,108 and employs 1,740 employees. This maximum security prison is 86 percent violent offenders and 52 percent are serving a life sentence which will never be released from prison. The growth of state prison population is the result of (get tough) legislation which sends more people to prison and keeps them there for longer periods of time. United States Corrections professionals could solve the problem of exponential growth in state prison systems by getting stronger rehabilitation programs. I think that upon the inmate arriving to the prison they should be given an incentive to enter, they should also be required to complete at least two rehabilitation programs. After completing at least two or more rehabilitation programs depending on how much time the inmate has, they can be offered several other programs that will help them from becoming a repeat offender. This is especially needed since 52 percent of them will never be released. That is over half the inmate population. The more the inmate gets interested in the programs that are being offered, the better chance that inmate then will become...

...Rehabilitation Paper CJS/230 Introduction to Corrections September 14, 2014 In this paper, there will be thorough evaluations made about issues revolving around in prisons. It is a sticky topic being that reformers look to see if a prisoner can be rehabilitated in order to regain entrance into functioning society. Once this information is accessed, then can the prisoner be eligible for forms of release, including, parole, probation, community service, and other methods of early release. The main function in the correctional system has been, in the past, to rehabilitate criminal offenders and teach them how to become citizens who live a life free from crime. Some rehabilitation programs used to reform inmates include counseling, health and fitness programs, academic programs and religious programs. This is the basis for the discussion presented in this paper. The topics to be discussed include, defining rehabilitation, the origins of rehabilitation, prisoner rehabilitation and society, and the suggested improvement of rehabilitation. All of which are imperative to the understanding of the rehabilitation of prisoners. The definition of rehabilitation in the prison setting is, “something that makes a prisoner a better person” (Foster, 2006). Now, with this definition there is much controversy. The problem is, when speaking on making a prisoner better, you still have to wonder, is the prisoner better all around, or is he just better at becoming a different type...

...Juvenile Crime Paper Rochelle Gordon CJS/200 December 1, 2012 Dave Ross Juvenile Crime Paper In the juvenile justice system believes in giving a juvenile a second chance, and protects their privacy. They also want to make sure they receive treatment and support services rather than just punishment. The juvenile system focuses more on their needs, and those goals are met with treatment and rehabilitation so they won’t become repeat offenders. After a juvenile completes their program their records can be sealed or destroyed once they reach 18. The juvenile system status in question is to determine delinquency, whether an act of was violated or not. The system also wants to make sure the best interest of the child is taken into consideration, regardless if they are guilty or innocent. For the most part when a child is in custody and pending the hearing, they may be released into the custody of a parent or guardian. Juveniles have closed hearings instead of a trial. The right to a jury does not exist. A juvenile is not arrested; they are taken into custody from an order by the judge or complaint. Usually juveniles are only incarcerated with other youth offenders and in juvenile facilities. In the adult court system the status question for adults is to determine guilt or innocence. The goal for adult proceedings is to determine offender’s guilt or innocence. Pending a trial, an adult can be released through bail, or on their own recognizance. Adult trials are...

...Community Corrections Paper Hope Washington CJS/230 Introduction to Corrections June 23, 2013 John Feltgen Community corrections programs oversee offenders outside of jail or prison, and are administered by agencies or courts with the legal authority to enforce sanctions. Community corrections include probation correctional supervision within the community rather than jail or prison and parole a period of conditional, supervised release from prison. The Community Corrections Division of the Department of Corrections supervises an active caseload of approximately 18,000 offenders in communities and work release facilities, providing guidance, support and program opportunities for all offenders returning to the community, holding offenders accountable to their imposed conditions, as they resume life within the community. Collaborating and supporting community resources and parties with a vested interest in successful offender transition into the community. Community based corrections can be viable for the youth but for an adult it is usually not sufficient to deter further illegal activity, we use projects like washing squad cars, litter patrol and with students we try to utilize some type of cleaning in the area of the school where they will be observed by their peers. It is great if you are not dealing with people who have committed violent crimes. Community based corrections is justifiable in today's society because many people believe making people accountable to their...

...Bombay High Court 1 1862 - 2012 A Journey of 150 Years through some Memorable Judgments Part 1 2 PREFACE A tiny kernel of an idea planted by Justice Mridula Bhatkar took root, and has resulted in a humble effort to present before you a compendium of the crux of some of the judgments of the Judges who have served the Bombay High Court since its inception in 1862.1 The initial idea was to document one judgment of the First Court from each year which was modified to include a judgment of the Bombay High Court of each year. I soon realized that it was too expansive an idea to merit a single judgment a year. I could collect and collate, as many as ten judgments which would qualify to show the development of the law we desired to portray. Having found too vast a number of such judgments, I had to settle at a more reasonable figure of about five judgments each year to showcase the progress this Court has made from its illustrious beginnings. Our Chief Justice Mohit Shah and our Justice Chandrachud wholeheartedly supported the idea to complement the Book published on this the sesquicentennial of our Court. As the number of Judges grew, fewer judgments of each Judge would be selected as illustrations. These judgments are not the only path-finding groundbreaking ones; they are also ones with simplicity and legal elegance. The number of judgments we settled upon just would not permit all deserving judgments to be compiled; only a few have been picked from each year as the first in...

...RESEARCH ON THE TRENDS IN DRUG ABUSE AND EFFECTIVE MEASURES FOR THE TREATMENT OF THE DRUG ABUSERS IN ASIAN COUNTRIES AN ANALYSIS OF INNOVATIVE MEASURES FOR THE TREATMENT OF DRUG ABUSERS PREFACE Crimes related to drug abuse and the illegal manufacturing and trafficking of drugs are serious problems for virtually every country. The abuse of drugs has an adverse impact, not only on the individual abuser, but also on the economy and society of a country as a whole. Drug use and the problems that accompany it have an extremely deleterious effect on the healthy development of young people, especially. Due to the rapid increase in drug related crime and drug abusers in Asian countries, the establishment of effective countermeasures for demand and supply reduction are a pressing issue. In light of the above-mentioned situation, the United Nations Asia and Far East Institute for the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders (UNAFEI); and the Research Division of the Research and Training Institute, Ministry of Justice jointly conducted a comprehensive study on drug abuser treatment, from 2002 to 2004, entitled “Research on the Trends in Drug Abuse and Effective Measures for the Treatment of the Drug Abusers in Asian Countries - An Analysis of Innovative Measures for the Treatment of Drug Abusers”. The Asian countries included in the study are: China (Hong Kong), Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. This is the first phase of the study on drug abuser treatment; the second...

Pinder Faculty of Business, University of Victoria, British Columbia V8W 2Y2; email: cpinder@uvic.ca Key Words needs, values, goals, affect, behavior ■ Abstract In the first Annual Review of Psychology chapter since 1977 devoted exclusively to work motivation, we examine progress made in theory and research on needs, traits, values, cognition, and affect as well as three bodies of literature dealing with the context of motivation: national culture, job design, and models of person-environment fit. We focus primarily on work reported between 1993 and 2003, concluding that goal-setting, social cognitive, and organizational justice theories are the three most important approaches to work motivation to appear in the last 30 years. We reach 10 generally positive conclusions regarding predicting, understanding, and influencing work motivation in the new millennium.
