...selecting Proposal 2's client/server model for APEX Services Inc.'s (ASI) client case management software. The proposed system is best suited for achieving competitive advantage via an agile information systems architecture. Before implementing the selected proposal, feasibility analysis should be performed, and detailed system design documents and implementation plans need to be developed. Post-system review should be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the new system at enabling ASI's goals. B. CURRENT SITUATION APEX Services Inc. is a business in the midst of change. Your company has succeeded in managing 29 group homes, but is now expanding into a new market, with plans for rapid growth in the prison management sector. The recommendations I make will be both to meet the company's information system needs in both the short term, and the long term. The long term goal of ASI is to gain a competitive advantage over business rivals, and thereby grow market share and profitability. For ASI, the way to achieve that goal is to develop agile information systems that can rapidly adapt to novel operating environments, as well as fluidly scale to meet the needs of additional contracts. Each managed site will have unique requirements, and ASI's information systems must be able to meet the requirements of each site in a timely, cost-effective fashion. ASI's goals are best served by Proposal 2's client/server model. This model has superior efficiency compared to Proposal 1's...

...and the proposed regulation caught your interest. Will this proposed regulation affect you or someone you know personally? Will it impact the business in which you are working/have plans to work in? If so, how? The proposed regulation that is of interest is controlled by FBI in which the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) proposes to establish Communication Management Units (CMUs) by regulation. CMUs are designed to provide an inmate housing unit environment that enables staff monitoring of all communication between CMU inmates and persons in the community. The ability to monitor such communication is necessary to ensure the safety, security, and orderly operation of correctional facilities, and protect the public. The Bureau currently operates CMUs in two of its facilities. This rule would clarify existing Bureau practices with respect to CMUs. I always like to support the World with the terrorist activities. However, this will not affect my current place of work. 2. Describe the proposal/change. The proposed change is about to introduce Communication Management Unit which is a recent designation for a self-contained group within a facility in the United States Federal Bureau of Prisons that severely restricts, manages and monitors all outside communication (telephone, mail, visitation) of inmates in the unit adequately monitoring the communications of prisoners, permitting several terrorists convicted for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing to send letters to other terrorists overseas...

...SCHOOL OF COMPUTER SCIENCE AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY COURSE: BUSINESS INFORMATION SYSTEM (B.I.S) PROJECT PROPOSAL PROJECT TITLE: INTEGRATED NIGERIA PRISONERS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM DATE: 29/01/2013 PASSPORT NUMBER: SUPERVISOR NAME: SUPERVISOR SIGNATURE …………………………………………. PROJECT TITLE Integrated Nigeria Prisoners Management Systems INTRODUCTION Prisoner identification is an integral part of any prison system, but with so many prisoners lodged in the Nigeria Prisons, the authorities found it increasingly difficult to keep tab on the prisoners, so necessary for an efficient jail system. The primary goal of prison management is to incapacitate inmates while providing rehabilitation and programs; however the goal of maintaining control within the prison system takes precedence over rehabilitation and treatment (Craig 2004, 92S). The activities of the Nigeria Prison’s services in terms of records keeping has for a long time been a huge problem to the service as there are no proper facilities in place to ensure that they are able to store and retrieve information on prisoners very quickly. Prison system models provide conceptual clarity regarding the complex workings of the prison system as well as the strains on and dilemmas of each system (Steele and Jacobs 1975). Record keeping are still done using big old files which have to be shelved once that file is full and then replaced with another and so when the need comes to get information on prisoner’s, they...

...Legal Regulation Lawrence O. Gostin, JD U NTIL THE EARLY 1970 S , R. J. R EYNOLDS , D OW Chemical, the US Army, major pharmaceutical companies, and other sponsors conducted a wide variety of research on prisoners—a captive, vulnerable, and easily accessible population.1,2 During that time, approximately 90% of all pharmaceutical research was conducted on prisoners, who also were subjected to biochemical research ranging from testing diet drinks and simple detergents to studies involving dioxin and chemical warfare agents.3 From 1962 to 1966, for example, 33 pharmaceutical companies tested 153 experimental drugs at Holmesburg Prison in Philadelphia, including a Retin-A (tretinoin) study in which researchers did not seek informed consent and prisoners were not adequately treated for pain.4 By the mid-1970s, biomedical research in prisons sharply declined as knowledge of the exploitation of prisoners began to emerge and the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research was formed.5 Federal regulations to protect human subjects of research were established in 1974 and modified and codified in 1981.6 The regulations were revised in 1991 as the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human...

...Mentally Ill in Prison PSCH/610 Mentally Ill in Prison Abstract The increase in incarcerated individuals with mental illness in the preceding decades has made the prison system a prevalent mental health provider even though they are not prepared or equipped for such task. Prison life is tough on an individual’s mental health; overcapacity, lack of privacy, violent behavior, lack of activity, inadequate health services, seclusion from family and friends, and the insecurity of what life holds after prison contribute to the inmate’s mental health. Inmates whose judgment is altered or impaired by depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and other severe mental illnesses are impacted more severely by the tribulations of prison life. Inadequate mental health services is also something mentally ill inmates face, this absconds them undertreated or mistreated. Numerous prisoners do not receive proper psychotropic medication due to the lack of mental health services and care, further impairing their capability to function. The security mission of prisons tends to overlook mental health considerations. Prison rules and codes of demeanor teach staff about security, safety, supremacy, and power. Coordinating the needs of the mentally ill with prison regulations and goals is almost impractical. Factors of the sources and effects of the concern between prison and mental illness will be observed in this research proposal. Reforms will be provided to improve mental health...

Today we are going to discuss the Victim of Violent Crimes Program also referred to as Victim Witness Assistance Program. The office of the District Attorney is dedicated to assisting crime victims and forcefully defending individual's civil liberties. Since 1977, VWAP has been giving essential services to victims and witnesses of crimes of viciousness or threat of ferocity in the region (Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, 2014). This program is mandated to relieve trauma and the continually demoralizing effects of crimes of viciousness on the lives of victims, bystanders and their relations. Representatives for this program work in courthouses and police stations throughout Los Angeles County providing a multitude of services to help victims become survivors. There are many sites within the jurisdiction of our county, victims of crime and their families are referred to offices in their area (Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, 2014).

Any individual who undergoes direct or threatened physical, emotional or monetary harm as a direct outcome of a crime is commonly known as a victim. Family or next of kin is also considered a victim. Victims have rights they are to be treated with self-respect, be protected...

...Community Project Teri Patterson Springfield College: Puerto Rico Analysis & Perspectives November 4, 2012 Introduction This paper will explore a proposed community project for the city of Hartford, CT. The project will be developed in coordination with the Connecticut Department of Correction and a community provider. The projects main goal is to provide a safe living environment for Latino gang members in the community once they discharge from prison. Agencies The major agency being targeted for this community project is the Connecticut Department of Correction. The CT DOC’s mission statement is as follows. “The Department of Correction shall protect the public, protect staff, and provide safe, secure, and humane supervision of offenders with opportunities that support restitution, rehabilitation and successful community reintegration.” The project is focused on the successful reintegration of offenders to the community. There was a recent report in the Hartford Courant that stated that 80% of adult males in the state of CT have been recidivists between 2005 and 2010. This number is staggering and every effort should be taken by both the department and community agencies to help this number to decrease. This project will focus on providing an opportunity for inmates in DOC who have been identified as having an affiliation with a primarily Latin gang such as the Latin Kings or Los Solidos.

The prosecution and Defense attorneys have rested their cases and the decision has been made in this case. The judge now take the arguments in to consideration and pass down a judgment on the sentence the defendant will face. The defendant is charged with Homicide, kidnapping, burglary, assault of a police officer, and possession of drugs. The facts that lead to homicide are Uma Opee was stabbed 13 times and the skin particles under the victim’s nails matched the DNA to Stu Dents. The facts leading to the assault on a police officer comes when he punched Officer T. Chur in the face and yelled "Alien".

Burglary charges are result of Mr. Dents entering the victim’s apartment without permission to be there and having the intent to commit a crime within that residence. Mr. Dents is also charged with possession of drugs because in his house was drugs that were found, the same drug ecstasy with the "thumbs-up" imprint found at the victim's apartment. In the State v.
